Williston, N. d. June 9.-William
Brownlee a young. man of % was
drowned in the slough on the river
flat west of town. He had gone to
the place to battle with Boyd Cormody
a boy about ,16. w. f. Cormody, the
latter's father, followed soon after
word. Brownlee told the others that
he could not swim but waded out be-
yond his depth, nevertheless. When
it became evident he was in distress
the elder Cormody went to his relief.
The drowning man clutched his
father and dragged him to the bottom
and there was a close call to two
deaths. Mr.. Cormody was so. near ex-
hausted that he was obliged to make
for the bank. A canoe was secured
and the body gotten out and a physi-
clan brought from town. All efforts
at resusitation were in vain. The re-
mains were shipped to Boscobel, Wis,
his former home.
Brownlee was single and a black
smiths helper employed by Coulter &
Cormody and had been in IWilliston
but two weeks.

Chicago, June 9. 49, government
crop report showing condition of
winter wheat and rye and acreage and
condition for spring wheat and oats
will be given out today at 1:15 p. m.
Chicago time. 1t is said that the con-
dition of winter wheat will be lowered
materially, the general expectation is
for a loss Of six points or more from
that of 91.9 last month and will COM
pare with a loss Of 5.4 points in May
last a when the June condition was
made 74.3. ..-
Government figures on spring wheat
are expected to be around 80 to SO and
will compare with 96.6 last year. Oats
condition estimated to be 81 to 80
against Gil last year. A reduction of
700, 900 acres is expected. 1t is notice
able that there are a number of good
traders who are bullish on July wheat
and believe in buying it on all dips to
90c. They figure that there Is a good
short interest Inc there will be little
wheat in store here, by the end, of the
month. Bears take, the position that
inasmuch as harvest is on and the
winter GRO of wheat is almost made
and the bulls are not getting outside
help, the market should be a sale on
bulges. Cash sales were rs, 900
bushels wheat; no. 900 bushels corn
and 10000 bushels oats.
