of Big Stone about 10 minutes before
the storm struck town. Upon arriv-
ing on the bluff Engineer Starr saw
the danger and stopped his train to
see which way the storm was travel

he put on steam, making fast run
to Milbank, just pulling his cargo of

One of the peculiar feats of the

Their Home Invaded.

When Mr.. and Mrs. Guy Ewing ar
rived home on Wednesday evening
they discovered that their house had
been taken possession of by the fac
ulty OF the summer school, who had
prepared fve-course supper for
them in honor of their eleventh
wedding anniversary. Miss Lynch,
who accompanied Mr.. and Mrs. Ewing
to supper, and who was one of the
conspirators, had detained the county
superintendent and his wife in the
store while the others were preparing
the feast. Guy says be was SO sur
prised that be would have forgotten
to offer up thanks before eating had
not Mrs. Ewing nudged him. The
occasion was greatly enjoyed and Mr..
and Mrs. Ewing were presented with a
solid silver spoon as a token of
friendship and esteem.

It must not be forgotten that, in
addition to the splendid victory
achieved by Company G at Duluth on
Sunday, our boys also won the team
shoot at Camp Lakeview, at that time
surprising the famous field staff and
band by IS points. Thus in one year
the boys have carried off all honors
worth having for craftsmanship two
silver trophies.
The Princeton people should appre-
ciate to a high degree their militia
organization, for the boys have kept
their promise made good. In fact
they have made doubly good-de-
feated not only the crack shots OF
Minnesota but of Wisconsin. Such
craftsmanship as they accomplished
would be credit even to experts OF
the regular army.
Then let the citizens do something
in appreciation of this glorious
victory-this bringing home OF
trophies in silver and gold. Let a
banquet, or something of that kind be
given in honor of the boys at which
their achievements may be glori6ed.
The trophies have been placed on
exhibition in the window of Henry
Avery's clothing store.

been declared unconstitutional by the
Ramsey county district court. The
law prohibited any oil company from
selling its products lower at one
station than at another for the pur-
pose Of freezing out smaller competing
companies. Evidence was offered that
the Standard had violated the law,
but opinion was based only on the
statement that the law is unconstitu-
tional. Judge Bum says that be does
not decide that general law applying
to all commodities in common use
would not be valid, but fails to see
any greater or different evil in
destroying competition in the steel,
lumber, coal, meat or -four business.
It therefore follows that the act is
void as special or class legislation.
The case will probably be appealed.

Seven Killed by Cyclone.

On Sunday afternoon at 4 O'Clock
a twister struck Big Stone City and
Ortonville, killing one man at the
former place and six at the latter.
The storm descended on the western
bank of Big Stone lake, where it
killed John de frees, a hack driver,
and, crossing to Ortonville, it struck
the depot, ripping off shingles and
also demolished the roundhouse.
Near the roundhouse were several
bunk cars containing Italians. They
were tossed in all directions, four of
the occupants being killed outright
and Is injured. Two more died later.

He Predicts Good Average Crops and
Farmers Will Obtain Fair Prices for Same.
New York, July 13.-Optimism is
the keynote of James J. Hills opinion
OF business conditions in the United
States, and especially in the north
west, expressed here upon his return,
tanned and ruddy, from a months
fishing trip in Labrador.
After the chairman of the board of
directors of the Great Northern Rail-
way company had recounted his pis-
catorial luck, be answered a direct
question regarding crop conditions,
upon which he has proved himself the
best authority for years. He said:
"We are going to have good, big
average crop. Not a bumper crop,
but good round yield, comparing
we'll with the average. The money
value will be larger than usual for
prices will be higher. Corn is now
selling around IS cents in Nebraska
and wheat about sl.SO in Minneapolis.
The time of low prices for grain has
passed. A great deal of wealth will
be added to the farmers store by the
sale of crops this year.
"As for the business outlook there
is no menace ahead. Good crops,
bringing high prices, will help the
manufacturing industries. There
should be a steady expansion in that
line. Probably it will receive some
additional stimulus after congress
adjourns.''

WINS AN0THER PRIZE
Company G's Rifle Team Captures the
Martin Smith Trophy, Tag
nificent Silver Bowl.
Defeats Famous Field Staff and Band
of Duluth and Crack Riflemen
of the Badger State.

Company G has again crowned
itself with glory. On Monday the rife
team of the company arrived home
from Duluth with the much-coveted
Martin Smith trophy-a silver gold
lined punch bowl with twelve cups
which it won in the annual competi-
ton of the Northwestern Interstate
Military Rife association shoot upon
the previous day.
Seven of the crack rifle teams of
Minnesota competed for the prize, but
even the field staff and band of Du-
luth, noted for their superior marks
manship, fell behind the Princeton
boys by 2l points. Company G's
score was So6, against 1855 by the field
staff and band. The Martin Smith
trophy is shot for annually and has
to be won three times before it be-
comes the absolute property of any
company. This is the third time it
has been competed for, having been
won once each by Company A of the
Tenth separate battalion of Wisconsin
by a score of III, and the field staff
and band of Duluth by sos.
In the individual scores for the
entire shoot our boys we're right to
the front, Lieutenant Marshall having
made the highest score at the 500-yard
range,-34 out of a possible 35,-
Lieutenant Sellhorn 81 at the 200
yard range and Corporal Moore 81 at
the 300-yard target. This is in itself
a remarkable showing.
In addition to the seven members of
Company G comprising the shooting
team which went to Duluth were
Captain Galley: Privates Smith and
Byers, alternates; and Ralph Carr,
,commissary sergeant. Following is
Company G's score:
