BODY FOUND FROZEN IN ICE.
Going out of the Ice Brings to Ligh
a Gruesome Find.

Fntombed in a cake of ice, an un-
known man Of mature age was found
floating down the Mississippi river
two miles below Brownsville, Mimi.
last Tuesday afternoon. Nothing has
thus far been learned as to his ident-
ity.
Farmers in that vicinity upon find
ing the body Immediately notified the
Houston county coroner at Caledonia
and the body was removed to
Brownsville, where it will be held,
pending an investigation as to the
manner in which the unknown met
his death. All possible efforts are
being made to establish the identity
of the body.
The body was discovered lying face
downward in a large cake OF ice
which had drifted toward the Mime
sofa shore, by farmer living in that
vicinity. 1t being impossible to re-
move the ice without further dis
figuring the body, the cake contain
ing the BODY was taken to Browns
Vile. where it was removed by thaW-
ing the ice.
The body was cloaked in a heavy
black overcoat of common material
but this contained no clues. From
general appearance it is thought that
the man was about sixty-fiye years
old. The body being kept in good
condition it is impossible to make
an estimate as to the length of time
the body was in the ice. No valu-
ables of any kind were found upon
the body 1t is thought death was
accidental.-La Crosse Tribune.

Early
Champion
Seed Oats

Recommended by Henry Wallace
of Wallace's Farmer as the best va
riety raised in Iowa.
The seed we have was grown for
seed purposes. Early Champion Oats
are small i'm size but yield splendidly,
especially on poor land.
Early Champion are the earliest
variety grown in Iowa and mature
before the extreme hot midsummer
weather, thus escaping rust. The
straw is short and they will stand
up where big-strawed oats go down.
The Early Champion is the safe and
sure variety. We have other varieties
also.

LARRY PULLING
FOR HIS new BOSS

Cleveland o. Jan. 20.-'T want to
See the Maps succeed under Harry
Davis. In fact, nothing would please
me more than to see Davis win the
pennant this year asia big league man
ager. I will give my all to bring about
this. result
The speaker was none other thar
Napoleon Lajoie, one Of the greatest
b3llp1ayers of all time; one who is
even bigger and greater as a man than
as a player. Few and far between are
the stars of the type of Napoleon La
joie, who having managed a major
league club, can gracefully retire TO
the ranks nj then put forth efforts
in keeping with those while he was
manager to bring about the success of
a new leader.
It has eve been thus with Larry,
however. Back in 1909, when Lajoie
retired rs leader of the Maps and jim
Mcclure succeeded him, the big
Frenchman said he wished Jim well as
his successor. N Larry meant every
word he said. Again in 1910 when
Mcclure was ( at the head of the
Cleveland cluhsno player tried harder
or more earnestly than Larry.
With George Stovall as boss of the
Maps the past season. the same con-
ditions prevailed as far as Larry is
concerned. He was in every game that
It was possible for him to play, and
was hustling for brother George every
minute OF the time. Had Dame For
tune smiled on Stovall and had he pi-
loted the Maps home in front none
would have rejoiced more than Larry.

MAJOR BOSSES
MAKE PREDICTIONS

supreme confidence is generally
manifested in the opinions of the vari-
Gus managers and presidents of the
National and American league teams
regarding then outlook for the coming
baseball season. Here you have what
they all say. You may take you pick:
Mack-The athletics won in 1910
and 1911. Next years team will be
stronger than those of the past two
seasons. Infer what you like.
McGraw-The giants were the best
team in 1911. We proved it after one
Of the hottest fights on record, and we
will repeat it for good in 1912,
Jennings--Detroit was second in 1911
despite poor pitching. / believe / have
picked up the necessary pitching
strength to land the team first.
Chance-The giants were mighty
lucky. Our pitching will be better in
1912 and we will beat out the giants.
With good pitching we would have
won easily.
Dayis-The maps finished third with
a bunch of youngsters. This year they
will be better. I believe the improve
ment makes Cleveland a big factor.
Clarke-The injury to Hans Wagner
beat US out of the pennant. With any
thing like an even break this season
we viii win another pennant beyond
doubt.
Callahan-Chicago just hit its gait
when the season closed. The city SER
les showed our possibilities. AT this
gait this ear there's nothing to 1t.
O'Day-There is a lot in the reds
that will come out with the right kind
Of handling. I believe the team has
a first-rate chance to land first.
Wolverton-New York is a strong
team, and if the pitchers show their
real form the highlanders will be the
most troublesome team in the league.
Bresnahan-The cardinals proved to
be the National league surprise last
year, and they will be a sensation
this season. The winner must beat us,
believe me.
Washington a surprise. They'll forget
the r. First in war, first in peace,
and last in the American league"
Dahlen-Brooklyn has just about
reached the point in it's development
where it will demonstrate its real abil-
ity. Supporters viii be content.
McAleer-Boston is too good a base
ball town not to have the very best.
The fans here want to be shown, and
we intend to deliver the real goods.
Dooin-The phillies viii be the Ma
tional leagues representatives in the
worlds series this year, We will play
the championship off in Philadelphia
Wallace-The st. Louis browns win
not win the cellar championship this
year. Fans who expect them to occupy
that place will be disappointed.
Ward-As president of the Boston
team, l believe we have a better club
than most people believe. / am not
claiming a pennant, but watch for a
surprise.
