BUMPER CROP
SAVES YIELD

Guy c. Stafford of Downs, Lin.
coin county, near the Adams coun-
ty line. is in Spokane today. and
says that wheat In the Big Bend
country has been injured by the
excessive heat from 10 to 20 per
cent.
But" continued Mr.. Stafford, -
few days more of that heat and
there would have been but little
No. 2 wheat, no No. and q whole
lot OF No. 8, let alone acres which
would have produced no market
able wheat at all. Cooler weather
and slight showers have changed
this and even with a cutoff Of 20
per cent in this bumper year, the
Big Bend crop will be about tho
normal for other years."

where the whole tale was unfolded
to the wondering ears of Justice
Hinkle who, before the case OF
tampering with witness was fin
ished, decided that there was no
case against Wagner of criminal
assault and that it was more one
of a deliberate plot on the part
of Mr.. and Herman to blackmail
Wagner for 500.
Herman himself blurted out the
whole story. 1t seems that after
he had succeeded in causing the
arrest of Wagner and had him
placed under $3.50 bonds, Herman
made Overtures for a sediment
with the result that Wagner agreed
to pay Herman 500 and gave Mrs.
Herman 81 to close the bargain. He
gave his personal note for the
balance and also an order on the
Shade Brewery to pay Herman $40
each week out of his salary. In
