DROUGHT HURTS CORN CROP
Corn and Meadows Showing Effects
of Heat

Petersburg, Ind, Aug. 6.-Southern
Indiana is confronted with the most
serious drought in it's history. Corn
in all localities is beginning to shrivel
and dry up and in some localities
where the meadows have dried up the
grasshoppers have put in their ap-
pearance and are stripping the corn
stalks of all foliage.
In the White River bottoms where
the corn was considered safe, the loss
will reach at least % per cent, while
in the sand and on the clay hills the
loss will be from 80 to 70 per cent
Rain within the next forty-eight hours
will save some Of this corn, but most
OF II is too far gone.
Farmers who have silos are prepar.
ing to cut most of this corn green and
place It in the silos for ensilage and
feed 1t during the winters months in
stead OF hay, as the crop was almost
a total failure Because of the burn
ing up of pastures. many farmers
even now have been compelled to
commence feeding their stock corn
and hay.

DENTIST HUM HELD

Coroner's Jury Decides BLOW

relative to the MYSTERIOUS death of AL

lett C Kammerer, druggists. recon.
mended that DR.. r. G. Hum, dentist,
be held to the grand jury for an In
vestigation on the theory that blow
on Mr.. Kammerer's head, which ex-
pert testimony indicated, caused
death. might have been dealt by DR..
Hum.
1t is one of the strangest cases
Springfield has ever had. Kammerer
went to the dentists Office Friday to
have tooth pulled. DR.. HUM says
Kammerer drank almost a quart of
whisky prior to the extraction of the
tooth, that he became unconscious
and that he never regained conscious
ness.
Kammerers friends disbelieve this
story, as they declare he was not a
drinking man.
DR.. Hum says the patient drank the
whisky because he was afraid to have
the tooth pulled.
The jury was convinced that Kan.
merer died from a blow on the head.
No one has been able to discover that
HUM would have had any motive for
doing injury to Kammerer.

Must Not Waste the Property.

Corunna, Aug. 6.-Judge Miner
has handed down his opinion in the
case of John Mckenzie and wife, VS..
the latter's aged father. Charles w.
Sagerl of Bennington township, in
which the plaintiffs sought an order
restraining the old man from COM
hitting waste on their farm, watch
he occupies. The court says that
he could find only one place in which
Sager had wasted anything, and that
GAS where he cut down two butter
nut trees. He granted an order re-
atraining Sager from repeating any
Snch waste.
The farm originally belonged to
Sager, but he became involved in
legal proceedings some years ago,
and the case went to the supreme
court. Tae costs were assessed to
him and were so great that he had
10 deed his farm away to pay them.
He gave deed to Mckenzie and his
wife, in consideration for which they
paid the costs. He retained life
lease of the property however, and
continued to reside on it.
Several months ago, Mckenzie
and his wife brought suit against
Mr.. Sager, declaring that ne was al
lowing the buildings to go to pieces,
and was letting the property run
down generally. The court failed
to find that Sager was doing this,
however. When the case came to
trial, Judge Miner scored the plain
siffs for bringing the old man into
court. He is over 80 years old.
