Redwood Falls, Redwood County, Mime
sofa, September II, says that grand jury
has been obtained In that county, after
much labor, and the jury, after long con-
sideration of the New Ulm murder cases,
brought in indictments for murder in the
first degree against thirteen persons, who
are charged with completely in the brutal
killing Of two soldiers, named Liscom and
Campbell, on the 25th day of December,
1896 The circumstances attending the
murder of these two men by a mob from

the men indicted, by means of threats,
bribery, &C., to get them out of the clutch
es of the law; but it is to be hoped that
Justice will not be defeated by such means.
The leading counsel for the murderers is
