SIugging and Fighting.

The news of the governors action
followed reports of serious fight be-
tween factions of miners near the
Superior mine on the south range and
of sluggings in various locations on
the northern end of the strike zone.
The initial arrests of the strike re-
suited from the Superior fight In
which two men of q party of ten men
were so badly beaten that there is
little chance for their recovery.
Fears of Superior mine strikers
that men from Atlantic were seeking
to replace them caused the outbreak.
Ten men from the latter location had
walked the three miles to Superior
and inquired about the prospects of
a resumption of underground work.
On their way back they were set up
on by three converging parties of
Superior men and a free for all fight
with clubs, stones and fists resumed.
Seven of the visitors escaped, but
two of the others were seriously cut
and the third was beaten into insen-
Sibility.

MINNESOTA CROPS

SUFFICIENT MOISTURE FOR
CORN AND POTATOES AND
GRAINS EXCELLENT.
RYE AND BARLEY HARVESTED
Wheat Threshins Begins in Some
Sections = Rochester Reports
Prospects for Bumper Corn
Crop-Fields on "Jump."

Minneapolis reports from
Minnesota indicate an abundance OF
moisture and the feeling prevails that
more rain now will do harm rather
than good, as it will damage the ripe
grain more than it will benefit pota-
toes and corn for the next few weeks.
Weather conditions have been IA
vOrable for proper maturing of the
grain, and only one section reports a
need of more rainfall in order to see
the crops through, the reports say.
Mankato Threshing Wheat.
Misunderstanding has been COM
menced and the first report to be re-
ceived is from Madison Lake, where
Frank Fasnacht marketed some new
winter wheat. 1t went twenty-seven
bushels to the acre and was of bet
ter quality than last years product.
Wheat Turning Color.
Fergus Falls.-The rye and barley
harvest is now well in hand, and
wheat is beginning to turn color to
great extent. The present outlook
is that the crop will be very much
UClICl IAoA IL appears GU III JuhC, cSAiu
that there will be a very fair yield
Corn continues to make great prog
ress and some of it is now tasselled
out. The hay crop has suffered Sc
riously from rain, much of the tame
hay being seriously damaged as there
has been no weather to dry it after
it was cut, and it has spoiled in the
fields.
Pipestone Crop Good.
Pipestone.-The harvest of barley
and rye has been commenced in Pipe
stone county and proves that the crop
will be one. of the heaviest ever gath
cred here. Weather conditions have
been very favorable for all small
grains as we'll as for corn the past
few days.
Bumper Corn Crop Expected.
ochester.-Farmers in this section
bumper corn crop this year, many pre-
dieting the largest yield and the best
grade of corn ever raised in the his
tory of corn growing in the state. The
hot weather and the rains at oppor-
tune times have made the corn grow
by jumps.
Grain Is Well Filled.
Albert Lea.-Harvest progressed
finely in Freeborn, Mower and Steele
counties, all the rye, most of the
barley and considerable part of the
oats being cut at this time, while
most of the rye and much of the bar
ley is already stacked.
All reports are that the grain has
filed exceptionally well this year and
q few days of favorable weather will
make an excellent quality as well as
quantity of the wheat in this part of
the state. Wheat cutting this week
and the next fortnight will see all the
small grain in this vicinity cut and
most of it stacked and very likely
some of IT threshed. Corn continues
to boom ard most of the hill corn
is tasselled and very much of it
silked with every promise of an ex-
cellent yield.
