Will Inspect Wheat.

Minneapolis. ord was received
that the government would establish
grain laboratories in Minneapolis, Du-
luth and st. Louis for grading wheat.
This announcement is looked upon
with favor by many OF the grain men,
who bekeve In federal inspection rath-
err than state inspection. There are
now similar laboratories for inspec-
ton in New York and Baltimore, and
the location of three in the West is
believed to be a step in advance. The
different systems OF grading prevailing
in different states often causes grain
men much inconvenience and trouble,
and under a general federal grading
they believe much Of this difficulty
would be eliminated. Local firms now
have their own laboratories, but the
federal inspection will be on much
broader scale and the work will be in
charge of government experts.

Bull Cores AGED Man.

Wadena.-J. G. Anderson, seventy
years DID, living at Compton, west Of
here, was seriously injured by a bull
which he had gone into the barn to
feed. While he was arranging hay
for the animal, it suddenly attacked
him, pinning him against the wall Of
the barn. The fact that the bull had
been dehorned is all that saved Mr..
Andersons life. The bulls attention
was distracted for a moment and the
aged man managed to crawl partially
outside the barn door. His legs re-.
manned inside, and these the bull
stamped with his feet and probably
would have fatally hurt the old man
had his son not discovered his predica-
ment and rescued him.

SHEEP HERDER WENT CRAZY
Fate of One Who Had Been LIvIne In
Solitude

There has been much written concern
ing the sheep herders of the plains who,
in their absolute solitude become. in the
end, raying maniaes, and for this reas-
on it will be interesting to know that
such IA man was brought to Rochester
Monday for treatment saws The Post
and Record. The herder's name is F.
A. Hanson. For many years he has
lived alone on large sheep ranch near
Barlow. North Dakota On the ranch are
five thousand sheep. and with the aid of
dogs he had herdeed them since thew
only numbered a few hundred. One of
Hanson's habits was to continually
count his sheep. 1t was the only diver
sion he had. and so to while the LONG
days away he would rove around the
herd counting and counting. He would
keep this, up days at time and in the
overwhelming solitude of the great
ranch his mind finally became affected.
Rumors went out concerning the queer
actions of the Tanchman, and as time
went on he became more and more vio-
lent. At last he developed into a raw
ing maniac. incessantly counting. Word
was sent to his brother, Morris Hanson
of Forcythe, who, in company with j.
w. Lescott. a sheriff, went TO the ranch
and attempted to take the maniac. Han
son is a powerful man, of large stature,
and the two men could not control him.
They went back and swore in four
deputies. These six men after a hard
struggle, got a lasso around the man
and put straight jacket on him. He
was Immediately brought to this city
to consult physicians here. They ar
rived Monday morning and received
treatment. Gradually he became calmer
and more sane, and when the trio left
Rochester Tuesday night for home, he
was apparently as rational as anyone.
From now on his brother will stay with
him, and will seek to prevent another
attack which is brought on by, the aw-
ful loneliness, of the plains. .

YOUNG is PRAISED
Attorney General is Congratulated
Because of Lid" Decision.

st. Paul, June l2-Because of his
part in establishing the lid" Attorney
General Young says congratulatory
letters are pouring in upon him, but he
admits he has not heard from the
knocking" end yet. The latter, how
ever, he declares is the least of his
troubles.
II do not think any further activity
on my part will be necessary in this
matter" said Mr. Young today 1T
will work itself out. Officers of NUM-
cipalities over the state know the law
is there and what will be the results If
they fail to enforce it, so | have lit
tie fear of being compelled to resort to
any drastic measures. While | did not
make. the law, | am glad it is on the
statute books, and that / am able to
enforce 1t. People will soon come to
see the good that is in it. If the saloons
cannot make living on week of six
days they had better quit.
As expected, letters complaining of
violations of the liquor law are pour
ing in on Mr.. Young. Many of them
are unsigned, and some writer's ask for
business reasons, that their names be
not used. One business men from up
the state, in writing, says: Il wish you
would prod our mayor up bit. He is
allowing the saloons to violate the
laws" ..,
Those unsigned are given no atten-
ton whatever, while bona tide COM
plants are sent to the county attorneys.
The attorney general has been in
formed that South st. Paul will be dry
after hours and on Sunday after this.
