sciousness he was too weak to put on
many of his garments, and when he
reached the quarters of Supt. Goodings
ne had on only his trousers and over
coat the latter having been thrown over
his head and body to protect him from
the cold. GOodings was hardly able to
recognize the foreman Of the stable. His
head had been so badly battered and he
was covered with blood to such an extent
as to make Identification difficult
Lumsden was taken into the house and
cared for by Goodings until the arrival
of the physicians. Mr.. Ford FASTENED to
his farm as soon as he was advised of

followed him. Bloodstains were found
on the walls and floor in the room in
which the assault was committed, but
that was about the extent of the develop
ments.

charge OF the horses. His condition was
such yesterday that it was deemed in
advisable to question him closely about

that his assailant was white man and
that he wore corduroy trousers.
The sheriff and others conducting the
investigation were told that Llmsden
probably was assaulted and robbed about
4 O'Clock in the morning. 1t is believed
that a club was used by the assailant,
although no weapon of any kind was
found on the premises. There was moth
ing about the building to suggest how
the assailant effected an entrance Mr..

James LumSden, who was assaulted and
robbed at an early hour yesterday morn

Son.. between Kensington and Wheaton,
Montgomery county, Nd, was brought to
the Emergency Hospital last night. Phy-
sicians at the hospital say he probably
will recover, despite the tnree-score and
more cuts and bruises on his head.
Sheriff Howard and States Attorney
Spates have started an investigation, and
they hope they will be able to land
Lumsden's assailant behind the bars. Sew

morning, 1T was stated, nothing definite
had been ascertained.
Lumsden has been able to talk but little
It is believed the crime was committed
about 4 O'Clock in the morning, although
it was about Z o'clock when Lumsden
crawled from his quarters over the stable
office to the house of Charles GOodings
superintendent Of the farm, distance
of about $50 yards.
An Operation Necessary.
Drs. Eugene Jones of Kensington and
W. T. Brown of Burnt Mills were hastily
summoned. They performed an opera
tion, relieving the sufferings of the in
jured man, and later had him brought
to the hospital here.
The wounded man had $71.62 in his
pockets when he went to his room about
IL O'Clock Saturday night, and yesterday
only 62 cents remained, the robber having
taken the remainder. It is thought by
the county authorities that some of the
stolen bills are bloodstained and that
this may lead to the apprehension and
conviction of the assailant
Saturday night Lumsden. who is forty
seven years old. and has been employed
on the farm about twenty-four years, re-
manned in the kitchen of the Ford home
until late. He sat by the fire reading
and fell asleep. About midnight he was
aroused, and then put the bulldog belong
ing to his employer in the house, fastened
the door and went to his own quarters.

Weather and crop Notes.

At last it begins to appear as
though a change in the weather has
taksn place, and great is the reioic-
ing thereat. There were several
rainless days during the past week.
and while the temperature has been
rather too low to be altogether suited
70 the present needs of the growing
crops, still the climatic conditions as
a whole have been such an improve
ment over those of the last month
that nobody is kicking, and everyone
is inclined to be entirely satisfied
with the efforts of the weather man
to make up for his recent misdeeds.
Under the influence of the sun
SHINE and winds the ground has
dried out rapidly, permitting field
work to be resumed, and it may be
imagined that none of our planters
were slow to take advantage of the
opportunity to 8get busy Every
available laborer fand team has
been pressed into service, and
as long as the good weather
holds no time will be- lost in
giving the crops the cultivation of
~ hAASAA tiASS oQ D1uIy Ill uG6u,
and in clearing the fields of the
grass and weeds which have gained
such headWay during the wet spell.
A couple Of weeks of clear skies
will enable the planters to undo much
OF the harm done by the recent rains,
and should the dry period be accom-
panied by temperatures suited to the
season there ought to be a quick
of cane and corn to recount
at the end Of the fortnight
All the teams on the Miles Com
pany's Houmas Central plantation at
Burnside were sent into the field |
Wednesday morning, for the first |
time in three weeks.
