DUEL MAY CONE
IN wake OF THE
CAILLAUX TRIAL
ContInued From Flrat Page.

It would have upon her. AS she
crumpled up in her chair a pitiful
figure of woe, sobbing aloud, protests
from friends came from every sec
tion of the room Others urged
Labori to proceed With the collapse
Of Nine Caillaux the court was
thrown into an uproar. Shouts con
demning the procedure were mingled
with those urging that all should be
known.
Judge Louis Dagoury sat beside
Presiding Judge Albanel ON the
bench today, despite the fact that be-
fore court convened he was visited by
Albanels seconds and challenged to
duel because of his remarks yes
terday.
DR.. Charles Paul, medico-legal ex-
pert, who examined the clothing of
Calmette after the shooting and also
aided in performing the autopsy on
the body was called as a witness
after the reading of the letters. He
declared four bullets, fired at a dis
tance OF approximately six feet, en-
tered Calmette's body. The last bull
let was fired at q little less than six
feet. Two Of the bullets entered the
thorax, one struck in the left thigh,
apd the other, the mortal one, en-
tired the abdominal cavity, severing
the iliaque artery. The hemorrhage
resulted in death
DR.. Paul said the distance at
which the shots we're fired was de-
termlned by firing an automatic OF
the same make used by Nine. Call
laux at material such as Calmette's
oyereoat was made Of
Dr Socquet corroborated the testi-
mony Of DR.. Paul, having performed
the autopsy with him.
Doctors Hartman, Cuneo and Rey-
mond, who operated upon Calmette
after he was removed to the clinic
at Neuilly followed defending their
manner of attending the editor.
Their testimony was obviously in
tended to discount the assertions
which physician Labori may call
Will make. He is prepared to de-
clare that Calmette's wounds we're
not mortal and that had he been
given proper attention and the flow
OF blood stopped by means of hemo-
static pinchers he would have been
about within ten days.

GREAT CROP Of CORN
ASSURED IN COUNTY
Rains and Warm Weather
Have Worked Wonders
For Farmers
BIG POTATO YIELD
ALSO ASSURED

copious rains and warm weather
are working wonders for the farm
ers and fruit growers Of New Cas-
tie county and immense yields of corn,
potatoes, apples, plums, etc, are now
assured.
On account of the dry weather the
past four or five years Just about he
time the corn was shooting into ears,
the corn crop has been somewhat
below the average yield This year,
because of the frequent rains and hot
weather, the corn, especially, never
locked as promising as 1t does now,
and nothing but destruction by hail
or cyclone can prevent a bumper crop
even If It does rain for a month.
The recent rains have also been of
vast benefit to the oats, which Is
now being harvested. The yield in
some sections will be above the aver
age per acre and of excellent quail
ity.
The rains have not done much dam
age to the wheat that had been cut
The advent OF the binder means that
nearly all the wheat is in shocks, and
Il can stand all kinds Of weather
until IL is threshed. Threshers have
already started on their rounds in
the country, and one prominent
thresher In conversation with q re-
porter stated that he never, in all his
years OF threshing, saw such heavy
yields OF grain per acre. In comment
ing upon the heavy yield, he said
that Il was partly due to favorable
conditions, but more to advanced
methods Of cultivation and judicious
use of fertilizer.
Many farmers are looking forward
70 the second crop Of clover as a re-
suit Of the rains, and the pasture
nelde will be in excellent condition
up until the winter sets in.
Farmers IN the lower end Of the
county predict that this years potato
Yield will surpass that OF previous
years. Many farmers in that section
expect to harvest from 2500 to 5000
bushels. The Colorado beetle or po- |
tato bug does not give very much.l
trouble this season. This is due To
the fact that tho farmers have learn |
ed how to control this pest The
potato blight has not done much
damage.
Apples are an enormous crop all |
over the State and they ere holding
on to the trees well. The early va !
rieties are appearing in the niarkefs
and the quality IS better than has
been noticed In several years. There
also will be a satisfactory peach
yield.
