Frankfort. Ky. July 1G.-The
first half OF the month of June was
quite wet. raining nearly every day.
Severe storms of wind and hail ia
some localities. Corn planting, espe-
cially in lowlands, that was already
late. was still further retarded by
these excessive rains. The early
planted corn suffered for cultivation
and many fields became foul with
grass and weeds. The latter half was
almost ideal, and gave farmers a
splendid opportunity to get their
wheat IN the shock in good condition,
and wage a war on the weeds that
were rapidly taking their corn fields,
The acreage of corn is a little
short of last year. owing to the I'M
favorable weather that continued
| too late in the season for preparation
Of much of the low lands that would
have been planted under favorable
conditions. The condition of the corn
lcrop is not up TO the standard for
the reasons stated and that much bad
seed was planted and failed to germl-
mate, causing a great deal of replant-
ling and making the crop very irregu-
liar. The wheat crop improved mate
Iually during the month. but will fall
lshort of an average crop. While the
lyield will be less than an average.the
berry Promises to be very fine. The
irrespective yield Is 1G per cent. less
THAN the 1906 crop. Oats promise on
lly about three-fourths of the 1906
crop. Many counties report the crop
almost failure and only few re-
.lport a prospect for a full crop. Rye
lpromises some better, but considera-
lbly below last year. Hemp Is nearly
Iup to last year in acreage and condi-
ltion. Burley tobacco is reported 10
liner cent short of last year In acre

labor. Much of this was planted late

ried their victim, J. Wesley Bare
fed, TO the woods near his home and
roughly handled him.
Mr.. Barefeld is about 35 years Of
age. He is a nephew of the Rev
Mitchell Barefeld, a venerable min.
lister of the Cerulean neighborhood
and has a wife and several children
He resides on a farm about three
miles west Of Gracey and is an ener.
getlc and useful citizen.
He is not a member of the Plant
ers' Protective association and has
been strong in his opposition to the
Organization. being especially bitter
since a visit from night riders last
fall. It is said that Mr.. Bareheld at
tributes this visit TO his persistent re-
fusal TO join the association. On that
occasion gang Of masked men went
to his farm, broke into his barn and
pulled out a large quantity of his to-
baccO
They tore up part Of the crop,
scattered some about the place and
threw the remainder into a pond. Mr..
Barefed was among the first of the
Trigg cOuntlans to suffer from the
depredations of the marauders. He
had feared the visit would be re-
peated and, II Is said. went armed
for several months and kept the
place guarded.
AT midnight Saturday, a band OF
masked men numbering between 25
and 40. went to Barefield's house.
The fun details Of what followed are
.difficuit TO obtain. The people OF Ora
.cey and that vicinity are circumspect
in their statements Some refuse pos
ltive.y to discuss the matter. A few
Others tell rather reluctantly what
they have heard But the nelghbor-
hood IS undoubtedly alarmed, ana
no one wishes TO incur the vengeance
OF the riders
The appearance Of the mlscreants
was s.gnalized by the firing of vol
ley Of bullets at the home of Mr..
Baredeld in which he and his wife
and children were peacefully sleeping
Springng fro mthelr beds the family
saw that the house was surrounded
by masked men. A light was burning
In the bedroom. and Mrs. Barefield
ran TO this and blew out the flame.
Her action was noticed by the men
who were peering through the win
dow. and they shouted to her that
tey would burn down the house I'M

lamp. She obeyed them.

The night riders demanded that
Mr.. Bareiield should come out TO
them. and emphasized their order by
shooting their revolvers. Fearing to
ieopardize the lives of his family. Mr..
Barelield walked out to where the
men were. He was seized by several
of them, and, amid the screams OF
his wife and little ones, was hur-
ried away from the house in the dl-
rection of woods nearby. What hap
pened to Mr.. Barefield has not been
revealed There are many rumors
that he was badly mistreated, and
that he was severely beaten. This Is
denied by others. It has been impos-
slble TO get a statement from Mr.
Barefeld. himself. His closest friends
say he refuses TO make any state
ment whatever.

Thousands of people who were

began to fall rapidly. Many placed
their hands over their eyes, while
women and children ran screaming

that Robinson's mangled body had
been found in tree or in a field
