himself in the Winooski river. He left
home Tuesday morning as usual to
go to his work at the cemetery. but
was not there when his wife went to
take his dinner to him at noon. 1t is
said that he was last seen on Spring
street, walking toward the lake. At
late hour that night his wife and 10
year-old laughter were still hoping for
his return. while searching parties
were vainly seeking for him in the
woods and nearby premises.
According to reports, the missing
man has not been in good health for
some weeks, and he has become des-
pendent and several times tt -eatencd
to take his own life. Last Sunday night.
Mrs Prunier became very much wor-
ricd about her husband when he threa-
teneded to hang himself. At another
time, he said that he was going to
turn on the gas AMI put himself out
of the way, that he did not want to
live any longer.
Mrs. Prunier reasoned with him ana
he told her that he would never harm
her,

wife
Mrs. Prunier was Immediately noti-
| fled and Thomas Reeves. who lives
near by. went to the cemetery. where
he found Mr.. Prunier working as
usual. with no apparent trouble. Think
| ing that it was a false alarm, Mr..
| Reeves returned home.
Mrs. Prunier cooked dinner for her
| husband as usual but when he dill not
| appear at the noon hour. she became
anxious and took some food to the
| cemetery, where thorough search
failed to locate him. Mr.. Reeves was
| again called on for assistance and he
began a search for tho missing man.
1t was learned that Mr.. Prunier had
been seen going down the hill toward
wnooski about $50 Tuesday morn
| ing. Fishermen along the river. Of
whom there are a great number at this
| time of year. saw Mr.. Prunier walking
along the lower road during the morn
| ing. They said that he made no at

they would certainly have seen any
such attempt at any point along the
river bank.
Other parties claim to have seer

afternoon. No word has been heard OF
him since.

WHEAT CROP REPORTS
INDICATE A SURPLUS
Prospective Yield Of Farm
Products Above Five
Year Average.

Washington. OF heavy
haryests Of the country's principal
farm crops marked the July report OF
the department OF agriculture. The
prospective yield in most instances
is larger than the average production
for the five years 1913.
Throughout June better weather con-
ditions increased the prospects OF the
output Of every important crop. The
improvement was reflected in a fore
cast Of 2S,00O,OO0 bushels more in the
combined winter and spring wheat
crop than estimated a month ago;
seven million bushels more oats. s.
100000 bushels more barley and 2,000.-
900 bushels more rye.
The spring wheat crop is larger
than last years by s2,0OO000 bushels.
but the winter wheat crop is l14,000,-
900 bushels smaller, although II Is
only $4,000. 900 less than the five-year
average production.
Wheat Of last years crop remaining
on farms July l was reported as a.
756,000 bushels, or more than five per
cent OF the crop. That, added to this
years prospective production, makes
available about s56.0OO,OOO bushels of
wheat which, according to officials.
viii be ample to meet domestic re-
Quirements and leave a surplus for ex-
port.
The condition OF the corn crop was
reported not so good as a year ago.
but the area planted shows an in
crease of G71. 900 acres. Indications are
that the crop will be 13s,000.0 900
bushels smaller but 100000 bushels
larger than the fiYe-year average.
