Rogers testified that last week Tuesday
morning Ryan was hitching up a team
and that ne objected because the horse
was one used by him Rogers said Rynn
told him to 60 about his business or he
would hit him. Thereupon Rogers dared
Ryan to strike but claims he did not
make any attempt to assault Ryan. Ha
said that Ryan came at him with ham,
mer and struck him In the face. Things
were lively for a minute but Ryan finally
landed the blow over the eye which knock
ed Rogers out and inflicted the wound,
which DR.. Lyman dressed. Rogers said
he was able to pull himself together in a
short time and report the affair.
DR.. w. a. Lyman was the second witness.
He testified that he dressed q wound on
Rogers's forehead and that II required
three stitches to do 1t properly. He said
that a man could sustain severe blow on
the forehead without serious injury but
that IL the blow Rogers had received had
been nearer the temple It would have been
very serious.
Harry Goodrich testified to seeing the
trouble between Ryan and Rogers but was
not near enough so that he could hear
| what was said. He said he saw Rogers
shaking his fists and later saw him put
his hands to his head and partially fall
to tho ground. He could not see whether
Rogers was struck or whether any weap-
ons had been used. Goodrich said he and
| Rogers had once had trouble over who
should hitch up a certain team and that
after the trouble between Rogers and
Ryan he told Rogers he had got what he
was looking for.
| Arthur Metcalf said nc heard loud talk
between Rogers and Ryan and that whcr
he looked out OF the window Rogers was
lying on the ground with his hand to his
| head
Eugene Goodrich was the only witness
called by the defense. He said that Ryar
and Rogers were both good mon and thai
neither was quarrclsomc. He said that
neither had any particular authority ovel
the teams. This closed the case. States
Attorney sherman prosecuted and j. j
Enright defended.

our readers with mich cows the absolute
necessity of making use of its undisput-
able advantages. In many cases it would

cows TO pay for n Separator, rather Than
do without one For we know OF in
stances whore farmers with five to ten
cows have found that Il Cream Separator
actually added to the profits as much as
another COW would, and remember that
this profit kept right along with the use
of the Separator. You, would have no
pay for the keep OF the extra COW. but
the Separator makes the profit anu
keeps" itself.
Some farmers prefer to sell their
cream to the creamery. others to
churn il at home. Darymen with Sc
lect butter or cream trade have learned
that they can only obtain and hold the
extra price they receive by producing n
high grade article possible only by using
q Separator.
Moreover. n Separator keeps the val'i-
able skim milk right at home in its best
condition. ready to feed to the youns

farmers arc now losing the proft
from this by-product of their herd. and
may be ntracting a whole lot OF trouble

of putting this woman to death If it
could be accomplished in a legitimate

Weather Conditions More Favor ableland Crops are in Better Condition Than Gener-

The temperature was nearly normal during the week, but there was much more than the usual amount of cloudy weather, with frequent and in some sec tions heavy rains. As a result farm work was greatly retarded, and crops are very weedy and need sunshine and dry weather. Cotton has not all been planted; the stand is generally good, but some is dying from excessive moisture and the crop is making slow progress owing to lack of cultivation; chopping has begun in many sections, but it is not general. Corn made little pro- gress; it is turning yellow in some portions of the state and needs cultivation generally. Oats, wheat and potatoes are doing well, although there is complaint of rust in wheat. Apples continue dropping ir many northwestern sections, anc the present indications are that the crop will be somewhat below the average; other fruit crops are doing we'll, but excessive rains in the northern portion o1 the state have cut the strawberry crop short.
