WELL KNOWN YOUNG
POPLAR RANCHER
FOUND DEAD IN BARN
AT BARN NORTH OF POPLAR Az
TER SHE HEARS SHOT FIRED
HEAD BLOWN OFF ABOVE
EYES - WHETHER ACCIDENT
Or SUICIDE IS NOT KNOWN.
Special to Producers News.

Special TO Producers News.
Poplar, Sept. 29.-The people Oh
Poplar vicinity We're shocked last Sat
urday morning when the news was re-
ported that Frank Ell. Corbin, a well
known and respected farmer and
rancher Of the north country had been
found dead in the barn shortly after
his sister Miss Bess Corbin had heard
shot fired, presumably suicide.
Corbin who had been living on the
Tyler ranch about 20 miles northwest
Of Poplar, with his sister got ND in
the morning as usual In the hest of
humor, and started for the barn with
the milk pail, to do the chores and
was gone but short time when his
sister VINO was in the house heard a
shot, and Immediately going to the
barn found her brother dead with the
top of his head blow off, the shot hav-
ing entered just below the chin.
Along side of his dead body laid a
Winchester Box Magazine 80 calibre
army rife.
Whether Corbin came to his death
by accidental discharge of the rife or
whether it was suicide will never be
known, but there is no reason to be-
Heve that it was case of suicide as
Corbin was respected by all who knew
him and had no financial difficulties
and no theory can justify suicide.
However if an accident, no one
knows how it occurred.
Frank Il. Corbin was Al years of
age and was born in Ames, Iowa, and
came to this country about four years
ago.
His relatives are father and moth
er, DIR. and Mrs. Fl. C. Corbin, two
brothers and one sister, A. C. Corbin,
Ray Corbin and Miss Bess Corbin all

The funeral was held in this city
Sunday afternoon, Rev. Hawkins of

Cantata to be Repeated.

In response to many requests the
choir has kindly consented to repeat
the cantata rendered in the Congrega-
tional church last Sunday evening. It
will again be presented at the church

regular meeting Of the Masonic lodge,

mission charged but collection will
be taken to defray expenses.
It is seldom that the residents of

The Firemen's Easter Ball.

The firemen's annual Easter ball at
the armory on Monday was more
largely attended than any event of it's
kind in the history Of the department
and it was enjoyable throughout. The
hall was artistically decorated with
purple and white streamers and first
class orchestra from st. Cloud played
stirring, up-to-date music. Some
thing like $3.50 was realized on tick
cts and the Dorcas society served an
excellent supper.
The people Of Princeton appreciate
the work of the fire laddies and in
variably accord them generous pat
ronage, but it is no more than they
deserve when the good work per-
formed by them is taken into consid-
Grafton.

GREENHOUSE UNIT MEETS.
Farm Bureau Unit Holds
Meeting in Town Hall on
Thursday Afternoon


Last Thursday afternoon the mem
bers of the Greenbush farm bureau
unit, for the first time in many months,
assembled in the town hall.
A musical program, which opened
with community singing, preceded the
business session. This unit is par
ticularly fortunate in having so much
musical talent included in it's member
ship. Greenbush also has the largest
unit in the county, los members.
The question of ordering Paris green
in large quantities for all the members
of the unit was discussed. It was felt
there were not enough members pres
ent to permit the unit to come to any
decision on the matter.
A committee, consisting of O. Erick-
son, L. ROCKFORD and F. E. Wesloh,
was appointed to confer with the
threshers and ascertain their rates for
the coming season.
The clothing project was discussed
and arrangements were made for a
class of eight to meet at the home of
Mrs. L. w. Normandin on Thursday,
April 20. Any ladies who wish to take
up this interesting work should call on
either Mrs. Jos. Mallotte, Mrs. Henry
Sager or Miss jeanette ROCKFORD, the
representatives of the Greenbush unit.
Any one Of these ladies will most
cheerfully render all possible assis-
lance to her friends.
The next meeting Of the unit will be
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Gus
Stark on the evening of May H.,

TRACTORS AVAILABLE.
Highway Department Offers Use of
Powerful Machines and Other
Equipment to Counties.

The state highway department has
sent a circular letter, of which the
following is a copy, to the engineers
Of the various counties of Minnesota.
The proposition speaks for itself:
"The highway department finds that
at this time it has surplus of trucks
and tractors. If your county or any
town or village in your county desires
to rent one or more Holt tractors for
road work it can be rented at $21 per
day, which includes depreciation, spare
parts and oil; the county, town or~vil-
lage to pay one operator at the rate of
$3.50 per month and to furnish the
gasoline.
effects of gravel trucks, equipped
with dump bodies and hoists, can be
rented on a per diem basis, depending
on the size and kind Of equipment.
This rate will include depreciation,
spare parts, tires and oil. The drivers
and mechanics with the fleets will be
paid by the party renting the trucks.
Gasoline will also be an extra.
"In addition to the above we have
available a considerable number of
trucks not equipped with dump bodies
and hoists. These can be loaned to
counties, towns and villages the same
as equipment was loaned few years
ago for the cost of loading and hand
ling charges and freight. These
trucks can be equipped at the expense
of the party to whom they are loaned.
There is a limited amount of this
equipment, and We will distribute it in
the order in which applications are
received"
The cost incurred in securing the
Holt tractor and other expenses in
volved are not excessive, and it seems
that the offer of the highway depart
ment should be readily accepted. The
Holt tractor is a powerful machine
similar to that recently used by the
big snowplows which opened up the
roads between here. and Minneapolis.
The cost Of one of these machines is
about $4,000.

pessimistic. At the same time they
expressed qualification that President
Harding had decided to keep this
country out of the conference.
President Harding, in his first pub
lie utterance on the 1923 naval bill, de-
clared in a letter presented Friday to
the house that, while the decision must
lie with congress, he would be greatly
disappointed, as he believed the coun-
try would be, if the enlisted force was
cut below $4,000.

A Narrow Escape.

Mr.. and Mrs. John Hamann barely
escaped being seriously injured in
runaway last Saturday afternoon
They were driving a team in single
buggy and had just reached the foot
Of the hill by the Zion Lutheran church
when the horses became frightened
by an automobile that passed them.
The team became manageable and
after running short distance upset
the buggy throwing Mr.. and Mrs.
Hamann to the ground with considera-
BILE force. The horses were finally
caught in nearby field.
The buggy was much damaged but
fortunately neither Mr.. nor Mrs.
Hamann suffered any severe injuries:
