lied secret groups. The instances
now number a score or more within
the last three months and indicate
the existence of secret organization
similar to that of the Klu Klux

kept hidden even the exact motive
OF the attacks although they have
generally seemed to be for moral
reasons"
The latest attack was the first ever

have taken the woman into one of
their motors and to have proceeded
several miles into the country where
Mrs. Johnsons clothing was removed
and she was given a coat of tar and
feathers. She was then paced in the
automobile and returned to the town.
Mrs. Johnson said she was employed
at the hotel as a maid and cook Ac.
cording to information the authorities
have, Mrs. Johnson had been married
three times, the first husband being
dead, while the other two are still
living.
The third marriage, it was said

months. Beating of a man named

REPORT WHEAT AND DAT
YIELD RUNNING LIGHT

While threshing has not started ir
full blast, enough reports have been
received to show the effect the long
hot spell has had on the smaller
grains-wheat and oats.
Winter wheat, which ranges from
fair to poor quality, has yielded from
IA to 30 bushels an acre on the farms
from which reports have thus far
been received. The hot weather
caught the wheat as we'll as oats, at
the critical period in its development
and the heads failed to fill. Spring
wheat has not yet been harvested, but
the indications are that crop will be
poorer than the winter supply.
AS for oats, the threshing gangs re-
port that the yield has been as low
as twenty-five bushels an acre in some
places, while the maximum produc-
ton has been only up to fifty mark.
In years when there is a heavy Oat
yield, the figures have run as high as
rs and so, sometimes more, per acre.
Oats is light-"alI hull as one man
termed it.
Corn, however, has been waxing
fine under the hot days and nights.
The corn crop is three weeks ahead
of schedule at this writing July 1S),
with every indication for a bumper
crop. While in some quarters it is
badly in need of rain, yet there has
been no material damage thus far.
"If corn gets the proper moisture
from now on, the elevators will be
fairly bullying next fall" said one OBJ
server of agricultural conditions.

TAKES ISSUE WITH
1921 HISTORIANS Of
STARVED ROCK LORE
OTTAWA ATTORNEY DENIES Az.
THENTlCiTY OF STORY THAT
FIXES SITE OF FORT ST. LOUIS
CONTRARY TO HISTORIC FACTS.

A story which has been running
through the press Of Illinois regarding
the discovery" that Ft. st. Louis was
not established by Tonti and La Sale
on top Of Starved Rock, but possibly
back OF the present historic heap OF
sand, Is taken issue with by Clarence
Griggs. Ottawa attorney, who, in let
ter today to the Free Trader.Journal
points out that there is convincing
proof that the fort did occupy the
summit OF the present rock.
Mr.. Griggs says
Editor Of Free Trader-Journal.
Several OF the county papers have

the remnants of an old fort, one.hali

most accurate historian of the dscov.
