SHELTON MURDERED.
This In the eVrdict of the COrOner's
Jury at Cakes, N. ID.

This In the evrdict of the Coroner's
Jury Mt Cakes, N. ID.
Cakes, N. d., Special.-The jury in
the coroner's inquest over the body of
William Shelton find that he was Will
fully murdered by G. r. Norton. Nor
ton was met by Shelton and his eld-
est girl as they were going to the
formers place to settle difficulty
about some sheep. Norton claimed
that Shelton reached in his pocket, as
he supposed, for weapon, when he
picked up q double barreled shotgun
and fired at Shelton, who was not
more than ten feet away, shooting him
in the head and killing him instantly.
His daughter summoned aid and his
body was taken home. Norton, to all
appearance, is not affected in the
least by the affair, and speaks of it as
coolly as though it were a mere
tritie. Nortons only desire is to get to
Glendale where he will be locked in
the county Jail. He fears some Of
his enemies will shoot him or that he
will be lynched. Public feeling here
is very bitter against him, although
the tragedy was expected at any time.
The vicinity in which the shooting oc-
Cured was called Little Utah, four or
five families there having changed
wives during the past two years. More
trouble is expected yet, an dthe out
come may be double tragedy.

The Weather and Crops.

Lisbon, N. D., Special. - The wealth
err during the past week has been
very hot and dry, with a maximum
temperature on the Goth of 95 degrees.
Threshing has progressed nicely, but
the average yield of wheat is still
most disappointing and the grade
poor. The generally accepted theory
of the failure of wheat to fill is that
it was seriously affected with blight
at most critical period. Late spring
frosts, too, seemed to have been more
damaging than at first anticipated.
The trouble has undoubtedly been eli
matte, for some old land which has
been under cultivation and seeded to
wheat for fifteen consecutive seasons
is yielding even better in many in
stances than new land never cropped
before. Consequently the trouble is
not in the soil. September Was tx
ceedingly hot and dry. The Lisbon
weather office reports the mean tenn
rerature of the month to have been
G5.2 degrees, the hottest September
ever known here, and the rainfall was
only .O5 inch. The only frost of the
month occurred on the 18th, after all
crops were ripe.

FIRES MADE GREAT JUMPS.
Wide FircbreDks of No Avail In
High Grass and Winds

jamestown, N. d., Special.-Destruc-
tive prairie fires occurred in this coun-
ty the past week, causing a loss of
thousands of dollars. The grass is I'M
usually heavy; it is now as dry as tin
der, and, aided by high winds, jumps
all ordinary fire brakes. Some saw
their grain, standing in the field UNI
thrcshed, together with their farm
buildings, swept away in Il few min
utes, and they were powerless. In
this immediate vicinity reports so far
indicate the loss of 1855 acres of grain
in shock and stack, AGO bushels of
threshed grain, over 800 tons Of hay.
two farm houses, three stables and
two horses. For several days fire
ragged in the Coteaux, twenty or more
miles west of here, and when favor
able west wind offered swept down on
unprotected farms less than ten miles
from the city. Fire breaks seventy
five feet wide were easily crossed by
the blazing grass borne on the wind.
The losses in consequence are very
heavy.
