OFFICIAL CROP BULLETIN.

. Huron. S. D.. May 1.-THE following
is the general summary found in the
weeks official crop bulletin issued here
by the South Dakota section of the gov
ernment's Chronological service:
The weather conditions were variable.
The week opened fair and warm, but
after Tuesday there was considerable
cloudiness and unsettled weather over
the state. with unusually frequent ain
in many of the eastern counties. Ac-
cording to reports received. the rainfall
over the extreme western portion of the
state was below the normal. and III
portions of the Black Hills district
there is a deficiency of moisture i'm the
soil. over the eastern portion of the
state the precipitation averaged above
the normal. but vas not u~nfavorable
except that 1t retarded outdoor work
and rendered some low and too wet.
The temperature of the week aver
aged n little o the normal. and was
favorable. On Tuesday the maximum
generally exceeded so degrees. and in
some places eached 80 or 81 degrees.
The latter art OF the week was rather
COO. The minimum temperatures.
which mostly occurred on Friday morn
ing. were sufficiently low in some
northern localities to cause frost which.
however. was not injurious. There was
some high wind during the first half
" the week.

row VS.. the Northwestern Mutual Life

er consideration of The case by Judge

cipals in the famous hack tragedy" in
Sioux City on the evening of october

Plaintiff in the suit is the widow of
barrow. The policy contained a sui
eide clause and the insurance COM
pany's defense was based on the
ground that the policy had not beer in
force one year and that Darrow first
shot and killed his daughter-in-law and
then committed suicide.
Attorneys representing the widow
who sued for the recovery of the
amount of the insurance policy contend
ed that the daughter-in-law shot and
killed barrow and then ended her w
life. thu disputing the claim that Dar-
row had committed suicide.
The case went to the jury at ii O'Clock
Yesterday, and the jury was out an
