Washington County Farmer says He
Was Fired Upon At Roadside.

jim. Gardner, who lives about four
miles east of IIillsboro reports that
while he was going home late the other
evening he was shot at by man in
ambush by the side of the road Gard
ner states that he returned the fire,
aiming slightly TO the right of the flash
of his assailant's gun and heard the
party exclaim, "Oh My Godl" A Miss
Rambo, who passed along the road few
minutes before, says she heard the
shots. Gardner thinks he hit the man,
but search was made and no injured
man found.
The continuous heavy rains of the
past week have swollen all the county
streams and fall farming operations are
practically suspended. Owing to the
wet fall and the consequent lateness of
harvest, very few farmers have harvest
ed their potato crop, and hundreds of
acres of potatoes are in the ground. T.
W. Thompson, of Castor, reports that
a large per cent Of the grain on the Wa
patio bottoms is in the shock, in the
stack or uncut.
The Schieffelin ranch, six miles north
west Of Hillsboro, lost forty acres of
corn as the result Of the recent frost.
This was the largest cornfeld in the
county.
