OUT OF HIS HEAD.
Andrew Layton Has Severe Attack at
Minneopa Dairy Farm.
From Saturdays Daily.

Andrew Layton, an employee at the
Minneopa dairy farm, was stricken with
some kind of mental alteration yester-
day. He ran as fast as he could after
the cattle and was overcome by the heat
or from some other cause lost conscious
ness and fell in the road He was found
there later and was brought to this city
last night in a raving condition. He was
so wild at the city hall that he was re-
moved to the county Jail and it was one
o'clock before he could be quoted. He
fought and shrieked so that he could
be heard around the neighborhood.
Layton was paroled from the state
reformatory month ago and was plac-
ed on the Minneopa dairy farm. The
reformatory officials were notified last
night and State Agent Barncard arrived
this noon. 1t is likely that Layton's
condition will be observed for a couple
of days and that he will then be taken
back to st. Cloud if his condition war
rants it. He has wanted to leave the
dairy farm, owing to the long hours.
He wrote back to the officials that the
work hours on the farm are from 4
a. M until 10 or ii p. m.

RAISE THE BEST BERRIES.
Minnesota Takes The Lead at The Big
Fair at st. Louis.
From Mondays Daily

fioh NiOhiebs
st. Paul Pioneer Press special from ST.
Louis: In competition with the finest
strawberries raised in a score or more
of leading fruit producing states, Mime
sofa has carried off honors, exhibiting
berries far superior to any produced
by other states. Out of possible 100
points, forty-eight plates sent by A. Nc
Comber of Duluth scored 9S points. This
scoring is declared by judges to be the
highest given so far this season and will
doubtless hold the record, as each days
shipment of berries is lighter.
Berries were of two varieties, Cres-
cents and Seedlings, and were judged on
size. color and flavor. The forty eight
plates show wonderful uniformity of
size, varying little, and some of the lar
gest were 6A inches in circumference.
Besides the delicious flavor and size, the
berries are perfect as to contour. Con-
sidering the long time in transportation,
the condition of the berries was splendid
and they have shown surprising keeping
qualities.
The summing up of the points and
awarding of medals will not take place
until the close of the fair, but that Min
nesota will carry off strawberry record
is almost foregone conclusion. The
scoring was one of the highest ever made
in exhibition. Minnesota bears the dis
tinction also of making the finest, larg-
est and most complete display of small
fruits in the horticultural palace, and in
gaining this qualification exhibits over
200 plates of currants, raspberries, cher
ries, strawberries and gooseberries, the
latter being the largest ever grown. Even
does not make an equal display
in any variety Minnesota is practical
ly the only state giving extensive atten-
ton to small fruits, the others being
by the fact that they are
not able to keep them in good condi-
ton.
