A GOOD STATE FOR, OATS
Minnesota Received High Awards al
Omaha Corn Exposition.

That Minnesota as an oats-pro-
ducing state stands at the very fore,
is again proven by the awards
which have just been made in the
milling oats contest conducted at
the Omaha corn exposition. The
oats in the milling class are used
in the manufacture of breakfast
foods and are of the very highest
class.
Washington won first prize in the
contest, but Minnesota is ahead of
it and other states in the number of
prizes and honored positions. There
were only twenty premiums offered
in the milling class but the judges
reported on 80 entries out of the 81
offered. Nine competitors in the
so-called James J. Hill territory won
premiums and fourteen ranked for
positions from one to thirty.
The Minnesotans who won in the
roll of honor are as follows: 10th:
A. E. Van Sickle, Warren; 18th: Law

A Gun and Shoots Bruin
Pelt Worth $40.

Spokane, Wash. July II. Floyd
Wilson, a telegraph operator for the
Chicago, Milwaukee & Puget Sound

days ago by bagging a 400-pound

story. s.
Wilson was freed by a big bear
while hunting in the woods near his
station, the middle of June, and
remained perched on the limb of a
tall pine until the dispatcher sent a
relief party to release him. Mr..
Bruin escaped in the thicket when
the searchers came upon the scene.
Wilson was chagrined none the less
and he bought big. red apples at war
time prices to square himself with
his colleagues, vowing meanwhile he
would be avenged.
He revisited the scene. accom-
panied by a trained dog, the after.
noon of July 2. Soon the shaggy
form skulked in sight, and the
dog made the attack. Wilson ended
the combat by hitting the bear under
the left ear with heavy ball of
lead, killing it instantly. The pelt
is worth $40. r.
