Little Rernice Wallace, years OF
age, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Wallace of Shevlin, would in all prob
ability have been devoured by a
ferocious lynx on the morning of Au-
gust % had it not been for the faithful
dog "Nig," which was with her at the
time.
Bernice and Mig were engaged in
herding cattle almost in sight of the
farm house. when a large Canadian
lynx descended from the limb of a
white pine tree and sprang toward the
child. Before it reached her, however,
Mig intercepted the brute and engaged
it in combat: Finding that it had met
it's match, the lynx made no further
effort to approach the child; but
Bernice, seeing her protector being
torn by the wild beast, picked up a
club and tried to assist the dog by
striking at the denizen> of the forest.
Realizing that her assistance counted
for little, she ran to the house and

Abe Welnberg's Dilemma.

Being unable to induce his old chum
George Rice to accompany him on
fishing trip Sunday, Abe Weinberg,
the Galesburg millionaire, went forth
alone. He sought out hole in the
Rum river where the water was about
eight feet deep, sat himself down on
an overhanging bank and cast his
hook, baited with a grasshopper which
had taken him an hour to catch, into
the stream.
Abe sat there in the silence of the
"llds watching his bobber and medi-
tating on his sins until he fell asleep.
He did not realize that he had gone to
sleep, however, until he awoke in the
pool below, where he discovered him
self foundering about with the fish
pole still in his clutches. He also dis
covered that something prodigious
was attached to his hook which pulled
him to and fro in the water and, know
ing full we'll he could not swim, he
was afraid to let go of the pole. He
yelled for help, but this merely had
the effect of attracting a big bull to
the bank, which peered down upon him
with a contemplate cast OF counte-
nance and commenced to amble down
the bank.
At this juncture, luckily for Abe, a
big moss-covered turtle left the water
and ran across a sandbar on the op-
posite side of the river. This was the
monster which had kept Abe ahoat,
and when it left the water it pulled him
up high and dry. It happened not; a
minute too soon, for the big, below
ing bull was close upon him. Abe.
almost scared to death, scrambled
up the bank of the river and climbed a
tree with the rapidity of squirrel
just in time to avoid being hooked.
And there Abe remained, with the
bull keeping watch below, until two
boys came for the COWS in the pasture
at eventide, when he was released.
Speaking of the incident, Abe said:
What made me so blasted mad was
the fact that the bull was not bull
at all-it was just pet steer which
the boys told me was as gentle as
lamb and merely wanted me to drive
the flies off it's back.'' .ls

Her mother and q nei ghbor quickly
responded and ran to the scene of the
conflict armed with rife and an ak,
but by the time they arrived Mig had
treed the lynx. Three shots were fired
before it was brought down, the first
two breaking the hind legs and the
third penetrating the body Upon
measurement being made it was found
that the lynx was 5S inches long and
% inches in height whopper.
Mig, the dog which engaged in battle
with the lynx, received several wounds
from the teeth and claws of the beast
and the poor fellow will be in hospital
for some time, but Mr.. Wallace says
he is a tough proposition and is bound
to come out all right and then look
for more lynx to whip. Mig is half
Gordon setter and half spaniel and
has good record for fighting. He
has upon several occasions fought
wolves, lynx and other wild animals
and invariably came out victorious.
The dog was raised by Mr.. Boyd OF
st. Paul and taken to Shevlin five
years ago by it's present owner.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace and family
formerly lived in Princeton and are
known to number of people here:

Corn Roast.


On Sunday Val Sausser came to
town with big hay rack and carted
the following persons to his farm to
participate in the annual corn roast:
Mr.. and Mrs. J.W. Hartman and dog,
Mr.. and Mrs. Wm. Neely and family,
Mr.. and Mrs. E. M. Chapman and
family, Mr.. and Mrs. G. A. Dickey
and family. .s
Judge Dickey was elected roaster-
in-chief and he made the corn pile
look mighty small before he concluded
his task. At least two bushels of nice
young ears passed through his hands.
But that was not all. He also super
intended the roasting of three dozen
spring chickens, and they were done
to a rich brown turn.
Plates were laid for; twenty-one and
the feast lasted from 2:3O to 5, Jim
Hartman being the last to leave the
table with the skeleton of chicken in
his hands.
At O'Clock the party returned by
the same mode of conveyance-hay
rack. All speak in high praise of Mr..
and Mrs. Sausser's hospitality and if
possible will attend their annual corn
feast next year.

GOOD REPORTS FROM wINDFALL


The Minoletti Brothers on Friday
finished hauling a shipment of 20 tons
Of ore from the Windfsll mine on the
Secret Canyon SUMMIT to the Eureka &
Palisade Railway depot to be shipped to
the smelters at Salt Lake.
The work of extracting ore Is going
steadily forward both In the old work
ings in the Windfall shaft and the new
discovery recently made on the surface
nea the former mine. 1t is reported
the ledge in the bottom of the shaft is
widening as development work pro.
crosses and the values in the ore con.
tiuue. The ore being extracted from
the surface discovery is also improving
as depth is attained.
As soon as a larger force of men can
be worked to advantage the number Of
miners will be increased in the several
claims of the Windfall group. and 1t is
then expected that regular shipments of
ore will continue uninterruptedly.
