OBERG WINS CORN HUSKING CONTEST CARLTON MAN LEADS FIELD OF FOURTEEN HUSKERS Attempt MITCHELL BUTTE — Brooding over the fact that his wife and two children had left him two weeks ago, George Wilson, who has a farm on the Owyhee project near Mitchell Butte, 14 miles southwest of Nyssa, cut his throat with a straight-edge razor at his farm home early Sunday morning. His windpipe was severed, but fortun ately the juglar veins were missed by the razor. After bleeding for a few hours. Wilson got out of bed about daybreak Sunday morning, dressed and drove his car to Don Lindville's place a quarter of a mile away Lindvllle, after being aroused, bound up Wilson's wound and drove him to Ontario where he is now be ing treated in the Holy Rosary hos pital. He will recover, physicians be- lelve. Chief of Police A V. Cook of Nyssa, accompanied by State Po liceman Ted Chambers, drove to the Wilson place Sunday afternoon to investigate the case. They found the razor lying covered with blood on the dresser near the bed. The bed clothing was also soaked. "We found that it was a self-in flicted wound,” Chief of Police Cook said Tuesday. "Wilson looked me up when in town a week ago and told me about the breaking up of his family the week previous. He asked me if there was anything he could do to make his wife and children return to him and I told him no, that I believed and hoped they would return to him upon their vol ition. Where they have gone to no body appears to know,” Cook said. Upsetting the dope, that Tommy Montag, of Walla Walla, Wash would be the man to beat, Walter Oberg of Carlton, Ore., took the northwest corn husking contest honors, last Saturday held at the H, E. Noah farm, north of Nyssa. Oberg husked Just half as much more com as his nearest competitor, A. R Koschmeir, of Vale, husking 1517 pounds to Koschmeler's 1007 pounds. Roy Kellar of Fruitland, Idaho, was third with 1001 pounds, Frank Wilbur placing fourth with 982 pounds. Ten other entrants were in the field against these four. Thursday and Friday saw the ori ginal list of 22 contestants whittled down to the final 14, and it was dur ing these elimination trials that Tommy Montag was pioked by those that know their corn husking to win . Oberg’s win in the final came despite the fact that he suffered the largest penalties for leaving the greatest number of ears for his gleaners, being penalised 3 for 1 of every pound of com left on the stalks. This is the first com husking con test ever to be held in the Pacific A. A. A.
