LEFT FOR DEAD IN PIT
WATCHMAN BEATEN BY INTRUD.
Frs IN BIG PLANT.
Believed to Have Been Set Upon by
Personal Enemies-Found by
Messenger.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Oct. >, 1908
An investigation of the case of Will
liam Nye, Waterman for the Pawling
x Harnischfeger company, who was
found unconscious and bleeding from
several wounds on the head in a molding
pit, q feet in depth. is being made by the
sheriff. The man is now in the Milwau-
kee hospital. where it is believed that
he will recover.
A piece of gas piping feet long was
found near the molding pit, and Nye's
lantern was found standing upright on
the edge, thus disposing of the theory
that he accidentally fell into the hole.
Nye himself has recovered consciousness,
but because of the severity of his
wounds is unable to remember what
happened to him.
1t is believed that personal enemies of
Nye walked into the place and hid them
selves in the dark corners of the build
ing. When he neared the pit on his
rounds, the miscreants dealt him the
blows from behind with the gas pipe
and afterwards threw his unconscious
form into the pit. Deputy Sheriff Dan
The east doors of the foundry were open
but nothing was taken, thus disposing of
the theory of burglary. Nye was discov
cred at 10 o'clock Sunday night by an
A. ID. II runner. When the office failed
to receive a regular report from Nye, an
investigation was made.

ALASKA WHEAT
A FALSE ALARM
REPORT OF R. E. HYSLOP, IDAHO
AGRONOMIST, SAYS STORIES
ARE EXAGGERATED.
CROP CLAIMS ARE FABULOUS.
Expert Declares That 1t Would Be I'm.
possible to Raise 277 Bushels
to the Acre.
MAY BE SAME AS MIRACLE WHEAT

ST. PAUL, MINI, Oct. 1.-"Alaska
wheat" according to the official report
of r. E. Hyslop, agronomist of the Uni
versity Of Idaho, will never become an
important or revolutionary addition 70
American cereals. This verdict follows
much discussion of the new grain and
is at direct variance with the state
ments of T.. II. Hobe. Norwegian consul
at ST. Paul, who was one of the expert
mentors and originators of Alaska wheat.
Big Yield Fable.
Prof. Hyslop's report states that the
huge yields credited to the new grain
are not borne out in fact. He states
that the new grain, he believes, is a
variety of Egyptian wheat, closely re
lated to the seven-headed variety. With
reference to yield, Prof. Hyslop says:
The high yields claimed for this
wheat. in some cases 211 bushels TO the
acre. are fabulous. Mr.. Adams and Mr..
Hobe produced on 3O-acre tract near
Moscow. Ida. this year an average OF
about 80 bushels per acre. Upon our
request the company has promised TO
have milling test made soon. uhtll
this test is completed we must assume
that the new wheat will make no better
flour under the name of ALASKA tham
it did when known aS Miracle W neat,
and | am led to believe that they are
the same
Reports Are Colored.
Other facts secured by Prof. llySlop
indicate that the information given out
hy Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Ilohe as result
of their experiments, was highly c"lored
at least, and based on wrong premises
The grain. Prof. Hyslop states, is yet
of doubtful tiour-making qualities. and
the heavy yields claimed are rrcdcated
on what sample plants have done, ana
not upon actual averages taken from
the results of harvest on Il large tract.
If the same basis of argument were fol-
lowed, Prof. Hyslop indicates that IT
might be proven that ordinary Little
Club wheat would produce 1900 bushels
per acre, purely imaginary rate of
yield.
From the facts given in the official re.
port there is a strong suspicion that the
first announcements with reference to
Alaska wheat" were given out in the
hope of ultimately producing heavy
sale of seed at high prices. and that
many of the statements were not war
