than ruin her good name. This story

Exceptions to the wheat crop fore
cast of Walter Ratliff, in which he
predicted that the crop was 65 per
farmers in several parts of Wayne
county.
J. c. Hall, residing on the Williams
burg farm, north Of this city. said to-
day that he had 20-acre field of
wheat which is rated as one of the
best grown in Wayne county in many
years. He said there were no Hessian
flies or other crop destroyers in this
field. Mr.. Hall said leading millers OF
Richmond inspected the field early
this week and pronounced il one OF the
best they had seen in years. and de-
clared hte wheat of No. quality
Mr. Hall said that conferences which
he had had with farmers over the
county showed that instead of having
yield less than normal the Wayne
county crop this year will be a normal
one. He based his prediction on re-
ports which had come TO him from
all sections of the county.
There has been great eXaggera.
tion regarding the presence of Hessian
fly in the wheat" he said The crop
outlook for wheat is excellent. and
farmers will harvest normal output

PHYSICIANS GR|lLED
IN .DANNER CONTEST

Probably the hardest technical ex-
animation given in the Wayne circuit
court IN the defense of a suit was
that directed at three physicians on
cToss-eXamination by Attorney Watson
OF indianapolis, representing the Terre
Haute, indianapolis & Eastern Trac-
tlon company The suit is that OF Iva
l. Danner Of Cambridge City against
the Traction company for $4,000. The
physicians were DR.. Wright of Cam
bridge City, who was on the stand
one hour and half, and Drs Thurston
and Morrow of this city.
The opening Of court today found
attorneys studying medical books
showing the nerve centerS and nery-
GUS ills. The two Official examiners,
DR.. Zimmerman and Dr. Kinsey, have
not testified on the result of the physi-
cal examination of Mrs. Danner. order
ed by the court. The three testifying
physicians were those for the plaintiff,
who said Mrs. Danner probably is per-
manently injured from the accident in
Milton two years ago.
This afternoon Mr.. Danner took the
stand and testified that the car backed
on Mrs. Danner at a rapid rate of
speed without warning, and that she
spent sleepless nights as the result of
her injuries, until doctors prescribed
for her.
