Champion Corn Sells High at South
"a eastern Iowa Short Course.
Special 10 Times Republican
Mount Pleasant, Dec. 23.-John Kopp,
who raised it, paid $15.25 for the grand
championship single ear of corn, at
the second division Of the southeastern
Iowa short course, which closed at
Mount Pleasant Saturday. The session
was a success in every way, and a
great benefit to the farmers in the sur
rounding country.
The prize corn sold for over $500,

state being broken. The grand cham
pionship ten ears of corn We're bought
by w. A. Hook of Packwood for $4,000,
the same man that raised them. He
declared he would have bought them
back if it had cost him 500. This
is the highest price ever paid for ten
ears of corn in the state. Joe Fry Of
Lee county brought back his ten ears
of grand championship white corn at
$35.
These men, who raised the corn, de-
clared they knew better it's value than
anyone else. Fifteen dollars and twen-
ty-five cents is the highest price, with
one exception, ever paid for single
ear within the state.
The whole exhibit Of corn was the
finest ever seen in southeastern Iowa
and it was a noticeable fact that there
was not prize winning corn that was
accident corn. 1t had all been care
fully raised and bred for the past three
or four years.

Tama, Dec 23.--His efforts to save
the price of a ride between Marshall
town and Tama cost Joseph Minor, a
young man of this place, his life early
Sunday morning. He was riding be-
tween the vestibules on the night pas
senger train, and it is presumed thai
he was crushed by the train backing
up after it stopped at LeGrand. The
accident was not discovered, however,
until the train reached Tama, when
the body was found. His chest was
completely crushed.
Eight dollars was found in Minors
pocket. This sum is far more than the
fare between MarshalltoWn and Tama,
which is the trip which he took, the
latter part of it being in death, because
of his unwillingness to pay the fare.
The reason for his stealing the ride Is
unknown, as he was a young man OF
exemplary habits
The exact manner of his death is a
mystery. 1t Is supposed that 1t occurred
at LeGrand, where the train stopped
and backed up. 1t Is thought that the
cars caught and crushed him there.

that there are SO many Johnsons in
the county, he prefers to take the
name of Edwins. His children also
prefer the name of Edwins Mr..
Johnson Edwins says that his ances-
tors gained the name Edwins in mill
tary service for their country and that
he desires to perpetuate this name.
