UniDiured.

O. S. Scoresby and c. D. Gray. two
prominent citizens of Pond Greek, were
in Wichita yesterday. Speaking Of the
wheat crop in Grant county, Mr.. Gray
said to a reporter for the Eagle: The
wheat is par excellent. Ordinarily thresh-
ing does not prove the enthusiasm Of the
harvesters justifable. This year the
wheat is turning out finer than the most
enthusiastic anticipation rated it. Mr..
Holdridge of the mills of our place says
that the wheat he is grinding is positive
" the finest he mas ever put through a
mill and he has been in the business for
many years. The average yield is very
high. Our prize field produced thirty
eight bushels to the acre. Almost all the
wheat is testing 81 and 81 pounds"
Of the corn in his portion of Oklahoma
Mr.. Scoresby said: 1.-THE corn is all right.
The big rain we had last Monday. il
rained all day long, has fixed it, and RE
yield is going to be enormous. It have
Travelled thirty miles west of Pond Creek
recently and with the exception IF some
corn on alkalai spots, it was as good as
it could be. We will get a big yield Ger
tain"
Both gentlemen report that Pond Creek
IS growing rapidly. Building continues
apace and there is plenty of money in the
city and plenty of business.

goodly sum was subscribed for the re-

Mr. Triple was forty-three years old
and tenant Of AIbrisht's. He reaEel a
farm Of Albright last spring and had a
contract with him. by the terms If wrich
Mr.. Triple was to use water from the
well in the yard Of the landlord. This IS
the origin Of the murder
Mr.. Albright shot and instantly killed
Mr. Triple. using No. 10 shot gIn at
range of five or six feet. The entire
charge taking effect just over the Leart.
1t seems that the child, a girl Of eleven
years, had preceded her, father to the we'll

child and uttered terrible words to her
and the dog, commanding her to !eave
the premises instantly, etc. The child re
turned home. across the way. Mr.. Trip
pie. a son and the mother preceded to the
Albright plantation and the shooting took
place as previously stated.
The murderer seemed to have waited
for an opportunity to do the act. On Sun
day last, james Tate passed the Albright
home in a wagon and when he was i'm
mediately opposite voice called out
Hello, jim. is that you?" Tate replied.
Yes, what are you doing there with that
gun Are YOU shooting lots?" Albright
replied, mo, have it in for that id

The people in the vicinity Of the murder
are greatly exercised over it and had it
not been for the promDt arrest and con-

GOOD W)RDH)D JAMES
His Condition Is Held to Bear
Out His Story.
MAYBE He WAS ORUCGED
Aboard Ship by a Suppositi-
tiOus Clergyman.

Mcpherson, Kan, July 1S.-Friends OF
Rev. T. H James, the Kansas minister
who returned from oLndon last week in
a dazed condition, after wandering in
England for two months. are invesugat-
ing the record Of the Episcopal clergy
man who accompanied James across the
ocean. Another consultation Of physi-
clans here has resulted in reiteradon
of the belief that James was drugged
while on shipboard on the way TO clam
his fortune, and suspicion is directed
agains his companion. James conpan-
ion represented himself as having a
church in California, but word from the
bishop of California received today states
that no such man IS rector there or has
been in years This lends further color
to the claimed bad record of the alleged
Clergyman. James remains in an ex-
hausted condition and his mind is still
cIouded as to his movements abroad.

NEWKIRK DEMOCRATS PLAN
For Settling the JacObs-Sipes Contest

Democrat. "A reimbursement of either Of
these gentlemen will be sufficient to prove

be accorded to either Jacobs or Sipes in
the event Of their reimbursement. Then.
