Attacked bv Wildcat.

Hunting in a plum thicket John
Sieh. a farmer near Lake City, was
attacked by wildcat, which sprans
at his throat. His heavy coat alone
saved him. Quickly he threw his arms
about the beast and crushed 1t to his
breast. The animal fought ferociously,
and Sled had no alternative but to cling
to it. He was four miles from home
and fearing to take further chances
he set out on the run, covering nearly
the entire distance before he met any
one. Two farmers laughed at him as
he came trembling before them but
aided him when they learned the true
state Of affairs. They secured q gun.
and, as Sieh held the wildcat. they
killed it. The muzzle Of the gun was
so close to Sieh that his clothing was
singed by the discharge. This was the
first attack made on a person by a
wildcat in this section for many years.

Makes cornhusklns Record.

Doubtless the champion corn husker
in Iowa is Harvey Mayne Of Lake City.
In ten days in only fair corn he husked
17S bushels day. It was wagered
by some of his friends that he could
not husk such an amount Of corn in
even one day, but Mayne argued he
could do the feat for ten consecutive
days. He worked a little over twelve
hours each day and made the above
average, box measure. There have
been many champion corn ,husksrs In
Calhoun county, but never one who
came out of contest in better oondi-
ton than Mayne. His wrists were
strong and his hands were in good con.
dition. The field in which Mayne
worked yielded sixty-fve bushels an
acre and the corn stood straight all
over the field.

Jack Dougherty. the Milwaukee well

ninth round at Davenport by Jimmy
Gardiner of Lowell, Mass. The fight
was whirlwind affair. Up to the
eighth round neither man had gained
any decided advantage. During this
period, however, Dougherty took the
lead and had his opponent in trouble.
Gardiner came back strong In the
eighth round, while Dougherty seemed
weak from exertion in his previous
round. During spirited exchange
Gardiner connected his right with
Dougherty's jaw and the Wisconsin
man dropped to the canvas for the
count Of nine. The same performance
was repeated three times. The last
time Dougherty went down he was I'M
able to rise at the count of ten and he
was declared the loser.

der OF August Schroeder.
Charles Rocker, twice convicted of
the murder Of August Schroeder Of
Doom, has been given a new trial by
Judge William Hutchinson at Sibley.
In sustaining the motion for a new
trial Judge Hutchinson remarked that
he had grave doubts as to the testi-
nony being sufficient for conviction,
and Rocker still may regain his liber-
y. Rocker was employed as hired
man at the time his employer was
found hanging dead In the barn After
being acquitted on a preliminary
hearing Rocker married Mrs. Schroe-
der, wife of the man whom he was ac-
oused of numbering. At his subsequent
trial Mrs. Schroeder, then Mrs. Rock
or turned against her husband and
said he confessed to the murder of
Schroeder in his dreams, and also at
the birth Of their child the father
wanted to kill It, This testimony was
admitted. but Judge Hutchinson, in re-.
viewing the case. has now held that
It was Irrelevant and upon that ground
granted the third trial.
