ward farm to day. We have made
quick work this year, harvesting and
threshing about $4,000 bushels in
four weeks. The yield will be l6 to
II bushels to the acre-pretty good
for this year.

p. Frost Spaulding: A general
and systematic movement to secure
lower freight rates on wheat ought
to be started In the Red River Valley.
Here we nre paying the same rate
when wheat is As cts. q bushel as
when it was worth 90 cts. We are
paying nore for hauling wheat to
Minneapolis or Duluth, than would
be the total freight charge from Du-
luth to Liverpool. The wheat rates
on the Great Northern arc eSorbi-
tant, ond out Of proportion to what
other railroads charge for similar
service. Let this matter of lower
freight rates be discussed and agi-
tated by the country papers until
we secure redress. A reduction OF
one-third from present charges
would make large sum saved to
the wheat raiser OF the Northwest.

McCullum near Kennedy, KiLtson
Co. Was shot in the stomach last
Saturday by one named Mason. Nc

Saturday Mason, and friend OF his

farm to get the horses. Mason went
to the barn took out the horses and
began to harness them. McCullum
then came out OF his house and tried
to prevent Mason from taking the
horses before he had paid for their
keeping, Mason and Reed kept on
hitching up the horses and when
they got into the wagon McCullum
took a stand in front OF the team.
Then Mason jumped out OF the wae-
on and ran into McCnllum's house
for gun, at the same time telling
Mrs. McCulium not to put her head
out Of the door provided she held her
lie dear. Then he jumped back into
the wagon and shot between the
horses at McCullum who stood in
front. The shot missed it's mark,
whereupon Mason stepped down
from the wagon and walking up to
McCullum discharged the gun into
his stomach After the deed Mason
tried to escnpe, but was caught
shortly after by the sheriff OF Kilt
son county. McCullum is in a critic
al condition. At first he was not OK
pected to live, but later reports say
that he may pull through. He is
