Fargo, N. D., June 23.-Wheat down
the valley from Grand Forks is look
ing much better than other parts of
the state. There are many poor fields
however. although generally wheat in
this section is better color and shows
more growth. First covered North
Dakota in 1883. Since then have seen
both god and poor crops, but have no
hesitancy In saying this crop of wheat
was seeded in worse shape than an
preceding one. There is som good
wheat in all sections. but the poor
~overshadows it.

Mccormick Man Missing.

Mccormick, May 4.-McCormick is
stirred over the disappearance of
John L. Talbert, one of the leading
business men of this town, which
took place about two weeks ago.
April 29 Mr.. Talbert left Mccormick
telling his family and friends that he
was going to Augusta, but he did not
return promptly and his family and
friends began a search which up to
this time has been fruitless. Report
had it that he had been seen in Char
lesion, but diligent search has failed
to confirm it.
Mr.. Talbert was raised in the Lib
erty Hill section of Edgefeld county
and is about SO years old. He is a
deacon of the Baptist church and su-
perintendent of the Baptist Sunday
school here, and has always been con-
sidered a good man.
Some think that the care of the af-
fairs of a large mercantile business
during a money stringency has tenn
porarily unbalanced him.

Leaves Seneca Owing Hotel Man.

Seneca, May IA young man ap-
parently not more than % years OF
age, of short stature and with q
slight brogue as though "down-
easter" has been spending several
weeks here at the Oconee Inn, claim
ing to be writing up the town for the
Mcclure Publishing company. He
got up various statistics of business,
etc., with, as he said, the intent 70
advertise Seneca and its resources,
and opportunities. Having made him
self very intimate with Proprietor Ell
lison and Clerk Holleman, he was
having a swell time.
Yesterday morning, saying he want
ed to send telegram about the time
No. 29 was due, he left, and they
thought no more about him until
some time after the train had gone
they discovered he had left them in
the "lurch" about a S45 board bill.
Coming here on April 19, and regis
tering as 81. A. Behr, Birmingham,
Ala.," he had secured several small
loans in addition to free board. Sew
eral DAYS since he wired Mr.. Stevens,
(as he claimed, President of the Nc
Clure Publishing company for 500,
but as yet no response has come to it.
He had very glib tongue, was we'll
dressed, and seemingly very intelll-
gent. Clerk Holleman is especially
anxious to know of his whereabouts,
as the loans were his personal funds.

Brandol to suicide. He quit beating
carpets in the yard of his home on
Center street yesterday afternoon and
later his body was found in the water
at the bottom of deep hole in a

YOU read this 1 hope you will give up

it a hoax, walked back to the house
with Brandol when Brandol said he
had forgotten his wife was going to
have corned beef and cabbage fol-
dinner, and he thought he would eat
before he killed himself. Brandol
ate heartily and then left the house

CHARGED WITH WIFE'S MURDER
John Meeks Held by Chester Coron.
er's Jury.

Chester, May 4.-From the testi-
mony submitted at the coroner's in
quest the jury, with Mr.. E. w. Wade
as foreman, charged John Meeks with
the murder of his wife, Cornelia
Anne Meeks, and a verdict to this
effect was duly returned. The wo-
man was found dead in a path about
FIVE hundred yards from her home,
the crime having been committed
Thursday afternoon by some person
who was evidently concealed in a
clump of woods beside the path. The
shooting was done with a shotgun,
one load of shot striking the unfortu-
nate woman on the the side of the
head and literally tearing off a great
portion of her face, while the other
entered the heart Either wound
was sufficient to produce almost in
slant death. The tips of two fingers
we're also shot away, this no doubt
having been due to the woman's
throwing up her hands for protection
when she perceived the assassin
crouched in the underground.
Coroner GLADDEN. examined about
a dozen witnesses, from whom enough
was elected to point to the woman's
husband as the probable slayer. His
mother, Harriet Meeks, testified that
her son had borrowed shotgun from
her the previous day to kill crows
and that the weapon had not been
returned, though Meeks stoutly con-
tended that he had returned the gun
Bee Sanders, who was working with
Meeks On the day of the killing, tes-
tilted that Meeks was absent from the
field for a time on the afternoon of
the tragedy and also sWore that
Meeks had a gun in the bottoms with
him.
Two women, Eliza and Charlotte
Meeks, discovered the body about Z
o'clock in the evening. 1t was also
testified that Cornelia Anne Meeks
ate no dinner on the day of the kill
ing, but appeared worried and dis
tressed. After dinner she started to
the home Of her brother, Cohen Wor-
thy, on Mr.. Joe Melton's place, to
learn song, and was returning
home when waylaid and murdered
Meeks was present at the inquest
and testified.
Sheriff Colvin shortly after arriving
upon the scene of the killing con-
cluded that Meeks might be the gull
ty party, and when the verdict was
rendered the deputy who had Meeks
under surveillance Immediately placed
him under arrest.
Meeks and his wife were negroes
of more than average intelligence
and industry.

Sumter Rural Policeman Shot.

Sumter, May 4.-Rural Policeman
{ A. NJ. Bateman was shot and serious
ly wounded early yesterday by a
white man named T. B. Caughman'
when the former attempted to seize
whiskey in the possession of the lat
ter. Bateman was brought to town
and placed in the Sumter Hospital.
Caughman was arrested by Sheriff
Brad ord and Deputy Sheriff Epper-
son about noon near his home at
Smithville and is now in Jail.
According; to Bateman's account
of the shooting affray, ne had re-
ceived notice that Caughman got the
LIQUOR at Dalzell and was taking it up
to Spring Hill. He overlook him and
took the whiskey away from him about
a mile from the station. Just as ne
was p acing the keg in his buggy,
Bateman said, Caughman opened tire
with a pistol, the first shot striking
him in the back just above the hip
and the second shot in the abdomen
and penetrating it; other shots went
wild. Bateman returned the fire and
wounded Caughman in the hand.
Caughman's account of the shoot
ing is practically the same as Bate
mans, except that he says Bateman
drew his pistol and fired the first
shot.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Dave and Anna Davis Lodged in Jail
at Chester.

Chester, May 1.-Dave and Anna
Davis, colored, were committed to
Jail this morning, charged with the
murder of the aged and well-to-do
farmer and Confederate Veteran,
John @. Lewis, in the Cornwell Sec
ton last Thursday night, and Buster
Shealey, a young negro man, was also
arrested and brought along as ma
terial witness in the case.
For several days Sheriff Colvin,
Deputy Sheriff w. w. Bindeman and
two detectives sent here by Governor
Blease have been working on a clue
that was developed Monday in Rock
Hill by Mr.. Bindeman, and last night
the trap was sprung and the arrests
made.
Think Evidence Strong.
While the evidence against the ac-
cused is purely circumstantial thus
far, the authorities regard it as ex-
ceptionally strong and believe that
certain lines along which they are
working will result in the finding OF
other valuable evidence even stronger
than that now in hand.
As indications of the Davis ne
groes' guilt, the officers last night
seized certain grips, in which the ac-
cused had packed certain of their be-
longings and which they had care
fully hid away in an empty house, as
if making ready to flee upon the
slightest premonitionof danger. Last
night Mr.. Bindeman crawled into this
house, seized the grips and shortly
afterward Davis and the woman were
taken into custody. They were in
their house asleep, but the fact that
their grips were packed and in the
vacant cabin some distance away
would tend, say the officers, to show
that they were in readiness to fly.
Shealey's Statement.
Shealey testified that the negroes
OF the neighborhood were at an egg
cracking on the night of Mr.. Lewis's
murder, and that between the hours
of 10 and II Dave Davis and the Wo-
man withdrew, the latter tapping
him (Shealey) On the knee as the
two we're going out of the door and
telling him not to mention the fact
that she had gone.
When confronted by the woman,
SheaIey stuck to his statement,
though bitterly denounced by the
woman, and later his statement was
verified by two young negro girls who
said they had overheard the remark.
Coroner J. Henry Gleddan is sum-
moning all the witnesses in the case
and the inquest will be resumed at
the Court House tomorrow morn
ing. An immense crowd will prob
ably be on hand, as the county IS
biobIv oycited over the crime
