Hillsboro, o., Aug. 10.-There is wild
excitement here because ofthe attemptat
two o'clock Saturday morning by
mob to secure and hang the negro,
Maynard Hudson, who, on Thursday
night. it is charged, attempted to assault
Penelope Hindman (white) aged IL.
The mob was well organized and the
authorities were powerless. Wesley
Limle, policeman, was thrown down
the high Jail steps and badly bruised.
while James White was covered at the
same time by dozen guns. Entrance
was effected 70 the Jail, but the negro
could not be found, as he had been
taken away short time before by
Sheriff Elton. No evidence of the mob
now exists, but they are under orders,
and will renew the work as soon as the
negro can be located. More than 100
persons were engaged, all white, and in
view of the trouble that occurred a few
evenings ago between whites and blacks
it is feared that race war is immi-
nent.

MILES OUT AND YOUNG IN THE WEEKLY CROP REPORT
Conditions in Agricultural Districts
as Noted by Weather Bureau.
Low Temperature in Northern Por-
lions of Country Proves Unfa-
yorabIe to the Crops.

Washington, Aug 5.-The weather bu-
reau's weekly summary of crop condi-
lions is as follows: Throughout the
northern portions of the country from
New England to the North Pacific coast
the temperature was too low for best
results, light frosts occurring in North
Dakota, but in the southern states it
was more favorable, although clear and
warmer weather is needed in the west
gulf districts. Portions of the South
Atlantic and Gulf states and the central
and lower Mississippi valleys need rain,
but elsewhere east of the Rocky noun
tains rains have been ample, being ex-
cessively heavy in central and north
eastern Texas, in the eastern portions of
Nebraska and Kansas and over areas in
the Ohio valley and east gulf states.
It is now very dry in the central and
southern Rocky mountain districts.
Corn is greatly improved, and espe-
cially in Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and
portions of Illinois and the lake re-
gion, the least favorable reports being
received from Missouri and the Ohio
valley states. The crop continues late.
An excellent crop is now assured in the
southern states.
Thrashing of winter wheat has contin-
ued under favorable conditions, harvest
ing having been finished, except in por-
lions of New York and Michigan and on
the Pacific coast, with disappointing
yields.
General rains in the spring wheat re-
gion of the upper Missouri and Red
river of the North valleys checked the
ripening of spring wheat and caused
better filing of the heads.
Harvesting is in progress, some of the
early southwestern being cut in the
northern portion, but was delayed by
rains in South Dakota and Nebraska.
Harvesting is also in progress in Ore
gon, with light yield, but of excellent
quality In Washington the crop is ma
turing slowly, but is filling we'll.
Rust in oats is quite extensively re-
ported in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and portions of Pennsylvania, but late
rains have benefited the crop in Min
nesota. Harvesting is well advanced in
the more northerly sections, being large
ly completed elsewhere, with yields gen.
orally lighter than anticipated.
Rains caused injury to hay in Texas
New York and Michigan and delayed
haying in South Dakota and New Eng
land; elsewhere this work has pro-
crossed under favorable conditions
Some plowingf for fall seeding has been
done in Oklahoma, Missouri and Mich.
