JOHN SMITH CUT in FIGHT
COIOred Man Severely Hurt, but Cause
of Trouble Does Not
Appear

John Smith, colored, was badly cut last
night in a fight at Smiths home, 1906 Burt
street. officer Anderson arrested Albert
Harper for being implicated in the fight,
but Harper says he was not the man who
did the cutting.
Officer Egan, patrol conductor, went to
the place and found Smith bleeding pro-
fusely from seven bad cuts on his shoulders
and arms. The injured man was taken to
the police station, where his wounds were
dressed by assistant police surgeons, but
Smith would not allow them to sew up the
cuts and he was taken to his home, where
a colored surgeon was called.
Smith says a colored man named ed
Morris did the cutting. There were three
men in the fight, but Smith declares that
Morris was the one who welded the knife.
Smith is a hodcarrier and one of the best
men physically among the colored popula-
ton. When arrested he had a revolver of
large caliber with him. but it was not
alleged that he made any effort to use it
on his assailants.
Smith would not tell what caused the
fight, but Harper says 1t was nothing but
a row."

PREDICTS GOOD WHEAT CROP
George Campbell Of WymOre Says
Recent Snow Did No Harm
Prospect il Excellent.

George Campbell of Wymore OF the
board of commissioners OF Gage county
does not give credence to the report that
tho snow has had the effect OF rotting
the winter wheat to any perceptible ex-
tent.
"On the contrary" said Mr.. Campbell.
Sin my thirty or more years residence in
Nebraska ! have never seen the winter
wheat in finer condition than II is now.
The snow blanketed the ground before 1t
had a chance to freeze and the wheat has
been given a substantial start.
The wheat fields in Douglas, sarpy,
Lincoln. Saline and Gage counties, where
the snow had gradually thawed away,
have a bright, healthy and vigorous APP
p~earance. The growth is not rank. but
II is remarkably even. and l am looking
for one of the best crops OF wheat we
have ever had in southern Nebraska. II
will take an unpreeedentedly severe spell
OF weather TO hurt the wheat now"
