CHASED BY CONSCIENCE.
Negro Who Had Wronged Man APP
peals for Help.

A pale. almost white negro came into
the police station Wednesday afternoon
and said that one G. J. Puryear. also
colored, was after him." Puryear. who
runs little grocery in North Topeka,
was arrested without a warrant, on the
say so of the alleged victim of his
wrath, whose name does not seem to be
known by the officers.
The victim says that one of his neigh
bors said that some one else said that
they heard that Puryear was looking
for him. That was his evidence. Of
course the defendant was discharged.
1t seems that the pale man had written
a letter to the wife of the defendant,
and his guilty conscience ran him ali
over town when he heard the rumor,
fearing that Puryear was on his trail
for revenge.

FOR WEEK ENDING JUNE 20, 1903.
DIES MONIES, Iowa.
Though the average temperature
was below normal, the past week
was favorable for field work and ad.
vancement of crops. Ihe con-
ditions have been especially favor
able for wheat, oats and barley, and
except in limited areas these crops
are doing well. The cultivation of
corn has been continued vigorous
ly with but little interruption from
excessive moisture in the larger
part of the state, and all reports
indicate that the crop as a whole
has made fair progress. The
acreage of corn, including the late
planted area, is much greater than
was deemed possible a month ago,
though materially less than last
year. Notably good progress has
been made in cultivating the early
planted fields, and in size and
general condition this portion of
the crop is nearly up to the ten
year average in this state.
Clover cutting has been general
during the week, with heavy yield
and the hay harvest is' likely to
crowd the farmers. possibly to the
detriment of the late planted corn
fields, which will need thorough
cultivation to bring good results.
The general condition of the apple
crop is fairly good. The yield of
strawberries has been very large.
