Before BRIGHT, ROSS and ARNOLD, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM.


1
This appeal involves a dispute between two insurance carriers over which one is liable for damages arising from a hunting accident.  The accident occurred when a shotgun being held by James Bergerud, Jr., an insured under a farm liability policy issued by Farm Bureau, discharged and injured another member of a deer hunting party.  At the time of the accident, the hunting party was in the box of a pickup truck operated by Gary Jacobson, an insured under an automobile liability policy issued by Crum & Forster.  The injured hunter filed suit against both Bergerud and Jacobson.  A settlement was negotiated, with Farm Bureau paying its policy limits of $25,000, and Crum & Forster contributing $5,000.


2
Farm Bureau then filed suit for indemnity against Crum & Forster.  The facts were stipulated.  The District Court,* applying Minnesota law, concluded that the hunting accident had not arisen out of the ownership, maintenance, or use of the motor vehicle insured by Crum & Forster, and judgment was entered dismissing the complaint.  This appeal followed.


3
The judgment is affirmed on the basis of Judge Devitt's well-reasoned opinion.  See 8th Cir. Rule 14.

Affirmed.

 The Honorable Edward J. Devitt, Chief Judge, United States District Court for the District of Minnesota
