The rains of the past week. while
slightly interfering with the shipment
of cantaloupes, have been of great
benefit to the vines and other growing
crops. The fall was so gradual that all
soaked into the ground.
A neighborhood picnic is announced
for next Friday at White Springs.
These annual picnics have proven very
attractive and as a rule Van Buren is
well represented at them, which no
doubt will be the case this year.
Rudy growers have made several car
load shipments of cantaloupes and water
melons this week. Heretofore Rudy
has furnished the finest melons grown
in Crawford county, and the growers
there are upholding their former records
this season.

Shot While Protecting His Property.
About half way between Lille and
Alma Andy Daugherty has fine patch
of melons, which as the fruit reached
the right age was visited several times
by marauders. So on last Friday night
Daugherty concluded to watch for the
parties who were committing the de-
predations.
He had not been waiting long when
four men have in sight. two of them
entering the field. Daugherty rose and
fired his gun in the air to frighten them.
The effect, however, was opposite to
what he had expected, for the intruders
returned the fire, one with a double
barelled shotgun and the other with a
rifle, and Daugherty was filled full of
No. shot, to the extent that neigh
bors, who had come to his assistance,
being aroused by the shooting, thought
he could not live.
Officers Immediately took the trail and
soon had strong proof that Jas. Cooley
and Tom Herald were the principals.
Cooley was shortly after arrested and
lodged in Jail here, but Herald had
made his escape. Tuesday Cooley was
taken to Alma for preliminary examin-
alton, but waived hearing and was re-
manded back to Jail to await the action
of the grand jury.
Then Sheriff Branson sprung another
surprise on the people who had assem-
bled to hear the examination, by taking
into custody Jim Kuykendall and a
brother of Herald as being accessories,
and they were brought to Van Buren,
and placed in Jail to await a preliminary
hearing.
At last reports Daugherty is rapidly
improving. Tom Herald had not been
apprehended up to yesterday morning,
