WET SPELL INJURED CORN
Queen Anne Farmers Now Fear They
Will Have Short Crop.

Farmers over on the Eastern Shore
OF Maryland are fearful that the corn
crop has been seriously damaged by
the continued rains. Particularly in
the low grounds corn has been hurt.
but the succession of heavy rains has
also affected the growing crop even
on the higher fields. Many farmers
believe that the crop will be short as
a result of the unusually wet weather
Conservative estimates of the wheat
crop in Queen Annes county this sea-
son, barring further unfavorable
weather, place the probable Weld per
acre at twenty bushels. Storm dam
age will reduce many fields to consid-
erably below this figure, but fields
that have been untouched by either
nail OF severe wind may yield well
above this estimate. Wheat generally
Is IN fairly good shape, and those who
are familiar with the situation assert
Chat the prospects are better now than
lhey have been at this time of the
year Tor many seasons. Wheat-cut
ing mas already started in some sec
ions of the county.

EVIDENCE POINTS TO LEV RIAS

Chain of Circumstantial Evidence
Lev Rias, negro who was taken
into custody recently, supposed 10
know something concerning the death
Of "Billy" Brooks, the-regro who dead
body was found in a small strip of
woods south of Dover in the after
noon of June Z, was given hearing
Saturday night, before Magistrate f.
+. Wood and held on a charge Of mur-
der Of Brooks.
When lsias was first. arrested and
asked whther he knew anything about
Brooks or where he was on Monday
night, he denied having seen or been
with Brooks on the night in question.
but when confronted with persons who
had seen them together on the night
of June going toward the strip of
woods, and had spoken TO 10th men.
admitted the latter fact.
Another link in the chain of strong
circumstantial evidence against Rias
was added Tuesday, when a pocket
book was found at the home of Rias
which was identified by Brooks for
mer employer, Walter Peterson, a Do
yer blacksmith, as being the pocket
book owned by Brooks. 1t will also
be, recalled that Peterson stated the
day the body of Brooks was found
that he had quite little money on his
person when he quit work on the af-
ternoon of June 7. Rias still main
tains silence as to the death of
Brooks, but from the conflicting state
ments he has made which have been
found untrue, it is still the belief of
the officers here that he had a hand
in the death Of Brooks or knows who
did do it.
