Hot Weather Followed by Rain is Bad

Creston. Sept. 1O.-The past week
has been one Of great severity on crops
of all kinds. The corn, whose roots
had been weakened by the heavy rains
and winds of the past week, was not
able to stand up in the few days of
nice weather during the first part of
the week and heavy rains the last of
the week still further weakened it so
but few fields are now standing. The
heavy rains of the last of the week
have delayed threshing and ruined
much of the small grain. and as the
farmers were depending upon this for
their profit, they are feeling very blue.
Potatoes are rotting in the ground and
all that is doing well is fall pastures,
which are doing finely.

HOOKING MAN ACCUSED OF MUIR.
DER WILL SOON KNOW
HIS FATE.
COMPANION is AT LARGE
William Cooley, Who is Accused, Like
Fuller, of the Murder of Robert Roe,
Has Not Been Seen Since July 5, the
Day Following the Murder.

Alba, Sept. 10.-(SpeciaD - Late
last evening the Jury in the case of the
state OF Iowa VS. William Fuller retir-
ed to prepare verdict according to
the evidence Introduced in the case,
which has occupied the time of the
Monroe county district court for sever
al days. At last accounts today no ver-
dict has been returned and there is
some possibility of disagreement.
There is much public interest in the
case, both in Abba and in Hooking,
where it is alleged the crime for which
Fuller is on trial was committed
Murder of Robert Roe.
The story of the killing of Robert
Roe, as told by witnesses in the case
is extremely revolving. The trouble
occurred at Hooking ON the night of
July of the present year. August
Aherwilder, who runs a saloon in the
little mining camp, which is located
few miles south of Abba, gave four
men who were in the saloon a bucket
of beer when he closed for the night.
The four men were James Campbell,
Robert Roe, William H. Fuller and
William Cooley.
The men had been drinking before
they got the bucket of beer and We're
in the mood which is easily swayed
either to noisy good nature or muir
derous anger. 1t seems that all went
we'll until one of them, presumably
Roe, said he was going to take the
beer home with him. This brought on
discussion and finally a fight.
Campbell, the only man who testified
as an eye witness to the murder-claims-
| positively that Fuller, during the fight.
! seized a stout club, struck Roe over
| the head and Knocked him down, then
handed the club to Cooley.
Campbell says that Cooley also
struck Roe with the club but he claims
that it was the first blow that killed
Roe. Fuller denies that he struck Roe
at any time.
Cooley at Large.
| The Hooking constable arrested
Cooley and Fuller the morning follow
| ing the murder and was starting with
them to Jail when they passed Cobley's
/ house. He is bachelor and lived
alone. He asked the officer to be al
| lowed to feed his chickens before be-
! ing taken to Jail and the request was
/ granted Cooley went into the house
while the constable and Fuller waited
on the outside, but the erstwhile pris-l
oner never reappeared and has never
been seen to this day.
Death Learned Late.
Roe, after having been struck down
| in the fight, was removed to his home.
/ He was not thought to have been in
| iured and no medical attention was
given him as it was thought he was
only intoxicated The folloS'ng morn
ing however, when he failed 10 recover
consciousness, an examination was
made and he was found to be dead.
His skull was fractured.
Fuller spent the time between his
arrest and the beginning of the trial
in the Monroe county JAIL being unable
to secure bail. He has steadfastly de-
MED his guilt but the evidence of
Campbell has countetd strongly against
him, as the evidence given by this man
was positive.
