vent it from moulding. if it has not
already done so.
Our understanding Of the matter.
is that in all of the territory farm
er will find by careful selection a few
ears in each wagon load that may be
suitable for seed, but the only way
that he can possibly protect himself
against loss from poor seed is to
make selection of these ears and then
test number of kernels from each
one of these ears.

Tells History
Former Resident Recalls Days Of Ex-
element Terminating in Shoot
ing OF Geo. Wingett
(By julius A. Schmahl)

A copy of the Gazette of October
q was found in the State Auditors
Office day or two after it's publica-
ton. and it was while it's columns
were being perused by O. L. Dorm
berg, for long time resident of
Redwood Falls, having been the jun
Tor member of the firm of Laird &
Dornberg of that city, and now one
of the most valuable and trusted
clerks in the Office of the State Audi
tor, that his eyes fell upon the story
of the death of George Wingett in
Auburn, California, few weeks ago,
as the probable result Of a bullet
wound received in 1880, under the pc
culiar circumstances related in that
article. The story brought to Mr..
Dornberg's mind the thrilling expert
ences of the particular day and night
in question when the wound was re-
ceived, and having been one of the
prominent figures engaged in the
work Of hunting down two robbers,
his narrative given to the writer of
this article is Of exceptional interest
at this time.
1t appears that it was on bridge
crossing the Minnesota river at Gran
tie Falls two highway men held up
an aged man and relieved him of his
roll, containing large sum Of mon
ey. They made their getaway, by
turning towards the river and under
cover of the timber skirting the river,
made their way in southeasterly di-
rection.
Emerging from the strip of timber
going north, they reached the resi-
dence of Kolbent Knutson in Swedes
Forest, and they engaged him to take
them to Redwood Falls. Knutson, not
having heard anything pertaining to
the robbery, and believing the men OF
good character took them to Red
wood Falls, where he left them at the
saloon of F. M. O'Hara, then located
at the corner of Washington and Sec
ond streets. 1t was about the noon
hour when the party arrived in the
city, and some two hours later some
officers arrived from Granite Falls in
search of the men, hoping by captur-
ing them, to get good reward which
was offered for their apprehension, in
addition to seeing that justice was
melted out. They were informed that
two men, strangers, answering to the
description of the proverbial highway
. man, that is, one being short and
heavy set. and the other very tall,
had been last seen making their way
towards the falls and had not been
seen emerging from the narrow fringe
of timber bordering the Redwood riv-
err following their walk to the falls.
After a fruitless search of several
hours the officers, for the first time
informed the officers at Redwood Falls

a wife and child in Georgia and that his true name-was Charles H.4 Bak- CT.
 What is certain, however, is that his Hyde trait soon cropped out, with the result that he was convict cd on July s, 1916, in Cochise coun- ty, of embezzlement from the Morgan Mercantile company and sent to the Arizona state prison at Florence.
 Worked Under Cole.
 While in the prison Brinkley was ssistant bookkeeper. More particu- arly he had charge of the record books affecting the cash and con- issary accounts, doing this work for o. c. Cole, the prison secretary under Warden R. B. Simms. Many of these records disappeared from the rvison at the same time that Brink ey did.
 This dual disappearance took place on June II, 1917, only two days be ra,e the prison administration was : nsferred from R. B. Simms to Warden A. A. Anderson. Brinkiey's escape is ascTihed as gross care t.ssness, tc say the least"

EscA3F- CONVICT WHO WAS
 IN CHARGE OF PRISON BOOKS S .--.-- FOUND IN U. S. UNlFORM

Ell 4ORFNCE Ariz.. Oct. 9.--After men hs. Of, search, the man who can, it is believed, throw much needed light upon the mHddled transacti0rs and greatly aid in clearing up the rmtilatea books and incomplete rec. cords of the Arizona state prison ha s been apprehended and is once more inside the walls of the state reHiten tiary at Florence. --
 On this occasion, however, c. L.. Tirinkley, by which name he IS known on the prison records. is not a favored inmate of that institution, handling the books and records of the most important departments of the institution, but is occupying a cell and following the daily pro gram of the other ordinary inmates.
 While officers have been securing the country for BTinkley. whose cs- cane from that institution two days before A. A Anderson succeeded R. B Simns as warden, is one of the mysteries it is hoped soon to solve C. P. Lee, auditor And public ac- countant has been meking thor ough examination of such books, ac- counts and records as could he found relating to transactions at the prison for the past five years
 Brinkley. as he is known. slick tongued, well-appearing, educated, has a record during his stay in Ari- .zona that almost excites admiration. He made his first appearance in this state at Wilcox, where he secured employment with H. A. Morgan Mercantile company as bookkeeper He had previously been in the hos pital corps of the United States army serving from May 2. 1914, until July 13. 1915, securing his discharge by purchase.
 At Wilcox he soon secured admis- sion to the best society and was one of the trusted employees of the Nor gan company. Not long after that he married one of the most respect ed women in WillcoX. It is alleged now that Brinkley at that time had

 You can go about as usual with work or play, while "GetS-It," the magic. does all the. work. Then the corn peels right off like a banana skin, and leaves the toe as smooth and corn-free as your palm. Never happened hefore. did it? Guess not
