What two weeks ago promised to be one of the largest and best wheat crops ever harvested in this locality has been considerably damaged dur- ing the past week as the result of heavy rains and winds. In many fields the plant is badly blown and “pust” is reported to have made its appearance.

Used a Double Barrel Shot Gua, But the Shots Were toc Small. Al. Roberts, one of Butler's pioneer citizens, was peppered with fine shut7 stepson, Sevessy Nesbitt, Thursday evening of last week. The weapon used by the young man was adouble barreled shotgun, and Mr. Roberts’ | life was saved simply from the fact | that the shots with which the gun was loaded were too small. Theboy fired both barrels of gun, one charge taking effect in Mr. Roberts’ face, head and neck and the other in his back. The shots were very small and lodged just under the skin, The 5 i ok place a p p Mr. Roberts’ wife near the Miam! river, about three and one-half miles southwest of Butler. Since their marriage two or three years ago Mr. and Mrs. Roberts have not lived ou the best of terms and have had sever- al family jars, and in‘ several in- stances the courts have been appeal- ed to straighten out matters for them.

Tame Affair. Tried to Dodge Nominations. Enough Finally Correlled to Fill Ticket. The Bates county republican con- vention at the Opera house last Thursday was the tamest affair of any similar gathering ever held inthe county. Noone wanted a nomina- tion and most those suggested for the different oftices begged off, offer- ing various and sometimes comical excuses. One prominent attorney when placed in nomination for Prose- cuting Attorney, said he had been sacrificed enough for the good of the cause, and thought it was some oth- erfellow’s time to be butchered. An- other, that he was too busy, didn’t have time to fill the office. ete. Clark Wix called the convention to order and announced that the central committee had selected Geo, P. Huckeby for temporary chairman. O. D, Austin was elected secretary with J. H. Funk, assistant. The chairman gravely selected his com- mittees from the delegates, using a prepared slip he he'd in his hand for that purpose. It had all the appear- ances of acut and dried affair, but, of course, it wasn’t; just happened that way. While waiting for the committees to report, some of the local leaders began to hustle among the country delegates arranging a “slate,” but it soon became patent that their efforts would fail, for the reason that the slate wouldn’t stand } | for the combine. Alter receiving the reports of the committees and adopting a long string of jingling resolutions, accept- ing as good everything eminating from republican sources and con- demning as bad everything demo- oratic, the convention got down to the business for which it was called. The chair announced that nomina- tions were in order for Representa- tive. After a loug and apparently painfulpause with no response, it was suggested that a roll of town- ships be called. The secretary called the roll, dwelling upon each township but still no response, when that office was passed. and nominations for county clerk was called for. After a call of the roll and no name offered, | J. M. Boreing, of Rockville, took the floor and said that as it was evident the victims were lacking, and no one wanted a nomination, the meeting had as well adjourn. The chairman gravely announced that they had gathered for the purpose of nominat- ing a ticket, and a full ticket would be nominated if it took all summer, or words to that effect. i The following ticket was finally de- clared nominated amids much (?) enthusiasm: Representative—D. B. Sweezy. County Clerk—A. L. Fox. Circuit Clerk—Chas. A. Lane Recorder—Clark Wix. Sheriff—Lee Johnson. Probate Judge—W. 8. Steele. Prosecuting Attorney—J. KR. Hales. Treasurer—E. 8.
