something of banner yield. The
oats and barley crops will be at least
average and some farmers report
them above that point. With the
high prices prevailing and the higher
prices likely to result from the short
age Of the wheat crop, the farmers
will have something to show for their

OATS YIELD
IS SURPRISE
Ward County Farmers Burning
Fields Afflicted With
Rust.

Minot, N. D., Aug. 16.-The first
threshing in this section of the state
was done on the A. c. Erb farm,
three miles north Of Minot, today.
The threshing this morning was on
the oats crop and this proved to be
something Of . surprise. Six bundle
wagon loads threshed 300 bushels of
high grade oats, and the rest of the
crop Is about on an equality with
these six loads.
The rye Is fair and the quality
good. The threshing Of the wheat
on the tErb farm was started this az
ternoon, but too late to get any re-
port Of the yield or the quality Of
the grain.
Crop conditions in this part Of the
state ara not ideal. The wheat yield
will probably be about one-third OF
that Of last year, though that was

READY FOR
REVOLVER MATCH
,eru,,,Ts CHALLENGE OF TONO-
PAH MARKSMAN FOR SUB
STANTIAL WAGER

Clarence A. Sage of Goldfeld, who
has established a record as one OF
the best revolver shots in the coun-
trv and who holds the worlds rec
ord for off = hand shooting
at 200 yards, today author
ized The Tribune to accept for him,
under certain specified conditions, a
challenge issued recently by DR.. a.
Morgan-Owen of Tonopah. Inc
latter challenges any person in Ne
vada to a revolver or pistol con
test-international targets ana
rules-to determine the champion
ship of the state, for a wager OF
$500 a side, and the challenger de-
s~ignates Clarence Sage as his pre-
ferred opponent.
Sage stated to The Tribune today
that ne would accept the chal-
lenge upon the following conditions:
The challenger to deposit with the
Jobn s. Cook bank a certified
check for 5000; the remainder OF
the wager to be posted at any time
nrior to the contest; the contest to
be held at Goldfield, with revolvers
or s~ix-shooters of not more tina I
inch barrel. off-hand shooting and
string measure, at a range distance
of not less than 100 yards. The
match must be refereed by three
men, each of the contestants to
choose one and these to select the
third.
AS no revolver contests have been
held in Nevada which would serve
to determine who is champion OF the
state. it is suggested by Sage that
a revolver tournament be held IN
Goldfield to decide the champion
ship, which could be determined in
connection with this contest. South
ern Nevada contains a number OF
exJerts with the six-shooter and it
is asserted that interest would not
be lacking in such a tournament to
bring together a large number OF
marksmen.
Clarence Gage Has SOuIS Itlldi M

long distance revolver range and
IS said to have nc peer in this line
of craftsmanship. In September
1913, at Shell Mound Park, he
established a mark which was pro-

and which has stood since that time.
Firing at a %200-yard target, out of
a total of 1875 shots he hit the
