WEATHER ASSISTS
 WORK IN FIELD
But Showers And Light Rains Are Needed Cotton and Grain
 Crops Doing We'll.

The crop bulletin issued by the bureau for the week ending Mon- day, June 12, says:
 The week was characterized by high temperatures and an almost total absence of rain. Consider able progress was made in clean ing fields of weeds and grass, and there is considerable of this work to be done, but the surface soil is getting too hard to work, and light rains would be very beneficial.
 Cotton is practically all plant ed; the stand is fair to good and the crop is making fair growth; chopping is general, and in some sections is we'll advanced.
 Corn made a good growth gen. erally; the plant is small, and some is yellow. It has been laid by in some portions of the state.
 Oats are good and are heading nicely, while wheat is fair to good. Harvesting of these crops has begun in the southern por- tion of the state.
 Potatoes and pastures are good.
 Apples continue to drop, and a light crop is indicated.
 Peaches and other crops are promising.

NEWBERRY'S SLAYER
 PROBABLY ESCAPES.
Will Raney, Slayer of Norman Newberry, Near Swifton, Traced to Alicia, Where
 He Boarded Train.

Will Raney, the slayer of Nor man Newberry, has probably escaped, having been traced to Alicia by Deputies George Rob- inson and John Churchman, where he secured lunch about 8 o'clock Tuesday evening and took a north bound train. His former home is South Fork, near West Plains, Mo-, and 1t is thought probable he took the Frisco north from Hoxie.
 A message was received We'd nesday morning at the sheriff s /office from Hardy asking for a description of Raney, and 1t is thought he may be under arrest there.
 STORY OF SHOOTING.
 Raney had been working for Norman Newberry, one and one- half miles north of Swifton, but was then employed by c. C. Jones. On Tuesday morning he went to Newberry about sun-up. while the latter was blowing, and demanded a settlement. New berry said he did not owe him (Raney) anything, whereupon the latter immediately used a A. calibre Winchester, the ball pass ing through the blow handles and the Joins of Newberry. who died shortly afterwards.
 Raney escaped, securing a dol lar, from c. c. Jones, who is un- der indictment for assault with intent to kill Norman Newberry's s father. The citizens of Glass township believe the shooting was unprovoked and are aiding in every way to effect Raney's capture.
 Raney is only P years old, with blue eyes and dark hair, thin lips, weighing 40 pounds, about 5 feet 6 inches tall, and wore a straw hat and No. 6 shoes.

EIGHT MILE.
 A bountiful rain fell last Mon- day morning, which was very badly needed.
 Crops are looking fine, consid- ering the wet spring. Some of the young people en- joyed a delightful ice cream SUD- per Sunday evening at the home of A. J. Meade.
 Dr. L. E. Willis was called over to amputate one of J. T. Bigham's toes, which was giv- ing him lots of pain.
 Silas Mead and Miss Alafa Roy were horseback riding Sun- day evening. We guess they enjoyed themselves, as they were all smiles on their return.
 Mrs. J. l.. Proctor is quite ill. Mrs. w. A. Roy is attending her. The singing class did not turn out very fast and were tardy last Sunday evening.
 Andrew Thomas was seen out
  buggy riding with his best girl Sunday. Why were you not out to singing, Shorty?
 We wonder what Miss Ora said to you, Cal, that caused so many grins on last Sunday? The Cache river tie rafters are anticipating having a great ju- bilee June IF. We hope they will have a good time.
 We take notice that Mrs. Kate Hostler failed in,~domesticating that large white crane she cap- tured some time ago.
 We will close, with success to the Independent.
