COLEMAN DENIED BAIL
NEGRO ACCUSED OF KILLING
 HIS OWN SON.
At the Preliminary Hearing Wit nesses swore that Negro Boy was Brutally Treated by
 His Father.

wilson Coleman. a negro. was yester- day committed to jail without bail for the murder of his own son by Justice B. H. Screws.
 In the preliminary hearing of Coleman some damaging evidence was adduced against the prisoner, who was accused of most brutal murder. In fact all the evidence was against Coleman who had no testimony to offset the damaging testimony against him except his bare denial that he had brutally beaten the boy.
 Coroner Tice and pr. B. s. Chapman who exhumed the body of Coleman's G. year-old son testified that his death was caused by blows and i'll treatment. They found that he had sustained serious in- juries about the head and body. The body was somewhat emaciated as If the boy in life had been insufficiently nourish- ed.
 Lucille Graham negro woman, who lived near Coleman on Finley Avenue. swore that she saw the beating which caused the boys death. Coleman she testified, did not give his children suf- ficient food. The boy had gone to the witness's house and asked her for bread Coleman was told of this by one of the other children. The witness swore that he acted in an inhuman manner. She said that he knocked the boy off the porch and dragged him to rear room where he beat him brutally and cruelty with a wooden hame. After completing this part of the punishment of the boy Coleman, she swore. knocked him down again.
 The boy was on the morning on which he received the whipping, apparently in good health, but that night he died
 In view of this evidence Justice Screws held Coleman without bail to await the action of the grand jury.

General Conditions.
 Hot. dry weather prevailed; the only rainfall was in scattered showers dur ing the early and latter part of the week; being mostly light, ecxept fairly copious in some localities in north-central and east-central counties, accompanied. in a few instances. with damaging hailstorms: temperatures were unseasonably high, day temperatures ranging wei up in the nineties during the last few days, while steady winds caused the ground to crust badly in many portions of the State. checking germination of late planted corn and cotton, which will not come up until a good rain is received. Cotton planting is practically completed over the greater portion of the State; the stands are irregular. though generally good; chop ping Is we'll underway in southern coun- ties, where some cotton is being culti- vated. Upland corn Is making fairly good progress in southern and middle counties; much of it has received first blowing, and stands are generally fair to good. though rain is needed for vigor- ous growth, and to bring up that recently planted in lowlands; in northern counties. worms are damaging young corn. Wheat is deteriorating. and, in some places. is heading rather low; oats are beginning to head, and are now promising, but will make light yield, unless a general rain is received soon; cane and peanuts are doing fairly we'll; sweet potato slips are ready for transplanting; Irish potatoes and gardens are suffering for rain in many localities, though, where showers have been received, they are making fair progress; strawberries are ripening slowly, for want of rain; peaches con- tinue heavily fruited and promising. though some shedding is reported: pears continue to blight; melon vines are mak- ing fairly good growth: and cantaloupes have been planted in many districts; pas lures are failing for lack of moisture.

ton, son OF Nutwood 600, came from a
band OF horses originally known as the
Stinson bunch, but to the residents OF
Yakima County better known as the
Doc Hare bunch that ranged on John
Cleman's ranch up the Wenas. In a
trade by which Mr.. Brooker transferred
a piece Of real estate to doc" Hare for
a herd OF Is horses, included among the
number being Chester Abbott, he first
