wENATCHEE RIVER FRIDGE.

The Echo has on several occa-
sions called the attention of the
commissioners court of Chelan
county TO the unsafe condition
of the bridge which spans the
Wenatchee river near this town.
A regular meeting of the court
will convene in July, and this
bridge matter is again pressed
upon their attention.
The condition of the bridge is
growing rapidly worse. 1t is
being used every day by people
who are almost compelled to
cross in coming to town, rather
than go twelve miles out of the
way. The bridge at Peshastin is
the only other means of getting
across the river.
A notice was posted up some
three or four weeks ago warning
the public that the bridge was
unsafe, but these notices can no
longer be read. Should some
one get killed, crippled or lose a
team the county would have
damages to pay that would
amount to more than the cost of
repairing the bridge. G
The county surveyor told the
writer that the bridge was in
very bad condition and liable to
collapse at any time.

Sioux Falls. S. D., July 29.-E. j..
sMunnlN, editor of the Commercial
News, OF this city, several days ago
sent to bankers, merchants ANA other
reliable business men at about go diff
4ferent points in South Dakota a re-
quest that they furnish him with Il
brief report us TO the condition Of crop
in their localities, with special bearing
on whether OF. not black rust had ap-
peared in the wheat fields.
Nearly all of the men to whom the
request was sent have now made re-
ports, and II Is a somewhat remarkable
fact that in every instance the writer's
declare that there is not the slightest
indication of rust. AS most of the re-
ports were made after a personal in
spection of wheat fields in the vicinity
of where the writer's reside, 1t indi-
Gates that there is not the slightest
danger of a rust visitation to the state

which was famous for its big crops
and which started the big immigration
to what is now the state of South Da-
kota.
Every part of the agricultural por-
tion of the state east of the Missouri
river Is covered by these reports. In
the vicinity of Eureka it is stated that
wheat will yield all the way from
twenty-five to forty bushels to the
acre; oats from eighty to 100 bushels
per acre, and other crops in 5propor-
ton. Oats in the vicinity of Baltic
Will yield from forty to fifty bushels
per acre; wheat from thirteen to TWEEN
ty; flax from twelve to eighteen, and
corn from forty to fifty.
Reports of a similar encouraging ma
u are made from practically every
part of h state, which makes 1t rea-
sonably certain that South Dakota will
this season have n of the greatest
crops in its history.

JONES WALKS FROM JAIL,
elimination of a Most Sensational
Murder Case in South Dakota.

Sioux Falls, S. D., July 27.-The clos
ing chapter in one of the most sensa-
uonal murder cases in the history of
South Dakota is the granting by Goy-
ernor Elrod of Il pardon to Lambert B.
Jones, a life prisoner IN the Sioux Falls
penitentiary.
Jones today, in accordance with the
terms of the pardon, stepped from the
penitentiary Il free man.
The conviction of Jones was based
purely upon circumstantiul evidence.
He was found guilty of the murder in
June, 1897, of a celebrated Missouri
river character, named Henry Van
Roden, who was known as Dutch
Henry Later evidence indicates that
Van Roden was killed by cattle rustlers,
who, to cover their w tracks, through
friends and accomplices, had the crime
fastened upon Jones. Van Roden and
young Jones lived together on the east
bank of the Missouri river. in the ex-
IRENE northern part of Charles Mix
county.
Van Roden was quite aged. At the
time of the murder the two men We're
engaged in gathering driftwood from
the Missouri river. This was to be sold
II the profits divided between them.
In June. 1897, Van Roden disappeared
and no trace of him could be found.
Nine months after the disappearance
of Van Roden, or on March 81, 1898,
the body of the old man was discovered
in a gulch not far from his former
home. The body had been buried. but
the heavy spring rains and melting
SHOWS had Washed & part Of the cover
ir,g off. Although the body was badly
decomposed the remains We're identified
as those of Van Rodsn by the clothing
of the skull had been crushed in, in
dicating that a murder had been COM
mitted.
The following day Lambert Jones was
arrested on the charge of having MUIR
dered Van Roden. When arrested he
was in the dugout which himself ana
Van Roden had occupied together. The
trial commenced at Wheeler. the oun
t. seat of Charles Mix county. in June.
1898, and lasted for about three weeks,
it being nearly the middle of July he
ore the case went to the jury and a
verdict was returned. The dramatic
feature of the case was the presence OF
j.. w. c. Jones, n lawyer and the father
of the defendant. who assisted in max
ing a gallant fight for the freedom OF
his son.
The jury brought in a verdict OF
guilty and Jones was sentenced to the
Sioux Falls penitentiary for life.
In explanation Of the murder mystery
1t is claimed that a few days before
Van Rodents disappearance he lFan
Roden) caught a man killing a steer
across the river on an Indian reserva-
ton and threatened to go before a
United States commissioner and make
a complaint. 1t is likely the old MAJ
was murdered by the man whom he
detected in the act of killing the steer
so the witness 10 the crime-a serious
one on the great cattle ~range-could not
make the offender trouble by causing

Memo. S. D.. July 2S.-The unusually
heavy rainfall and resulting floods dur
ing the months of May and June has
caused considerable damage to crops

the state. While the crops along the
bottomlands are injured to a serious
extent, crops on higher land We're never

the flooded district report that the dam
age extends over a distance of eighty
miles, and that crops have been dam
aged to the extent of 81 600 per mile
for the entire distance, or $50, 900 in all.
Even the hay crop will be of little value
on some portions of he flooded land,
due To the deposits made by the high
