a Goose on Him

Mr.. Odds, of st. Paul, who travels
for an elevator supply house, was in
this city Monday. Heis quite hunter
and of course was asked about the
shooting. He said he had been out
but few times but the night before
at Bite Lake" near Waubay he had
succeeded in killing Canadian goose.
Mr.. Odds was going out on the after
noon train and some of the boys went
over to see his goose. When they
looked at the bird they saw the eyes
were sunken in and that it had been
shot for many days and had been
(probably) hanging up on some farm
ers barn. Of course we cannot say
Mr.. Odds did not shoot the goose but
that he bought it from farmer lad.
But that is what his friends intimate.
Any how he got the goose.

John Seay, one of Dawson's popu-
lar travelling statesmen, came in Sat

While en- route in Clay county he

and Mr.. Seay is positive that they
were the most snakes he has ever
seen at one time.
/ 1t seems to have been family oil
rattlers-two old ones and their nu-
merous offspring, which had also
grown to be some size. The old ones
each had thirteen rattles and but
ton and it was also said that they
carried a tin horn, but the Dawson
drummer did not investigate suffi-
GENTLY to personally verify that re-
port.

say that he had not mad dram in

TWO DAYS TO PULL AN ACRE
OF BRIDGES PRIZE
CORN BEGUN THIS MORNING.

Being Done Under Supervision of a
Government Demonstration Agent
and Three Well Known Citizens.
The gathering of the prize acre of
corn of Walter Bridges, one of the
Terrell County Corn Club boys and
the eleven-year-old son of Mr.. H. T.
Bridges, was begun this morning un-
der the supervision of Messrs. w. L.
Pace, S. D. Hatcher and j. 2. Turner
of Dawson. Mr.. G. V. Cunningham,
the government farm demonstrator
for this district, is also present, and
will remain until the corn has been
gathered and measured.
Mr.. Bridges, father of the young
contestant, informs The News that
he expects that two days of hard
work will be required to pull the
corn that has grown on this acre.
In arriving at the yield 200 pounds
of corn in the shuck, 100 pounds on
each side of the field, will be gather
ed, shelled, measured and weighed,
and the total yield then ascertained
by weighing the corn in bulk.
The acre of land on which this
corn grew was dynamited and fertil-
lied heavily and while it was growing
hundreds of people of this and ad-
joining counties went to the Bridges
farm to see it. The yield has been
variously estimated at from $50 to
500 bushels.
