City Funds Tied up.

After some discussion the board au-
thorized the mayor to arrange for bor-
rowing the funds needed to meet the
claim, which to date, including dam
ages, and interest, amounts to s4,-
500. At the same time the board
fixed the interest rate to be paid. The
city board adjourned with the matter
in this condition.
Yesterday Mrs. Clark's attorneys
swore out a writ of garnishment
against the funds of the city lying in
the First National Bank, and in the
Commercial Bank and Trust Com
pany. These writs were served few
minutes before the banks opened for
business and the funds of the city
were tied up. 1t is believed that the
tie-up will be temporary, as it is said
that the city has more than a suf-
fcient fund on hand in the general
fund to pay off the. entire amount.
This done, affairs will run along as
usual and the employees of the city be
enabled to have their warrants
cashed.

Kingston, N. Y, July S.--When
Colonel Henry Watterson, of Louis

his son, Ewing, who is in jail charged
with shooting Michael ]. Martin, a

William D. Brinnier, his counsel. He
was in communication over the tele.

that his attitude will be in accord
with that of the colonel If the present
situation remains unchanged. This
statement, in conjunction with the
fact that no application has been
made for the release of Ewing Wat
terson on bail, Is taken to indicate
that Colonel Watterson believes his
son insane. and that he will approve
an application by the district attorney
for commission in Iunacy to exam.

Colonel Watterson left his attor.

In November, 1908, early in the eve

CROPS SUFFER FROM

Special to The Ne.os.

Special to The Ne.os.
Louisville, KY, July S.-With cloud
bursts and droughts spotting the Ken
lucky map and great overplus of
rain in Tennessee and Southern In
diana, the crop situation for nearly
two hundred miles North, East, South
and West of Louisville has reached an
acute stage. Too wet or too dry
weather has not only put the product
of the truck gardens and small fruit
farms a full fifty per cent, but has
wrought untold damage to the staples
corn, wheat and tobacco. Except
ing corn, and in some favored locali-
ties tobacco, the time for replanting
has nearly passed with no prospects
for recuperation in these crops. Clo-
yer, hay, potatoes, etc., are rotting in
the fields.
Some Kentucky counties have not
been visited by growing rain since
the first of May. On the other hand.
northern Kentucky, Tennessee and
Southern Indiana have been visited
by general heavy rains for seven sue
cessive days which, in some sections,
have been veritable cloudbursts. The
general crop situation In consequence
is the most discouraging in years.
Traffic delays have been numerous
but trunk lines thus far have managed
to get their trains through without a
general tieup.
