1t is the general opinion that in
many parts Of the county the wheat
which wasn't damaged by the wet
weather prior to cutting has been
ruined by the wet weather Of the past
few weeks. Mr.. Yves Ready says he
doesn't expect to realize a dollar on his
$50 acres Of wheat near Tor. Henry's
place. Part Of it is 10 stack and the
remainder is In shock. He went out
Monday to see how it was getting
along after the big rains, and found
the wheat sprouting. The big ricks
we're wet to the core. Many other
farmers report their wheat in the
same condition.

was at Staub's corner, looking for
Heskett, trying toget chance to kill
him. Wind, he says, has been In We'll
lington twice since his escape from
the penitentiary. Smith would not
come inside the city limits because,
he says, he did not want to get into a
fight with Shaver and have to hurt
him. Smith claims that he had rode
all over the county looking for Hes
kett. Mr.. Shaver says that If
Smith had not been captured In the
Indian Territory he would have been
back to Tom Hicks Wright's place
about tomorrow or Wednesday, and
that he (Shawver) and posse would
have gone there and surrounded the
house and captured them. Mr.. Shaw.

the Indian Territory. Had Smith aud
Wind been captured at Tom Hicks
Wright's place there would DO no
