New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1880-02-18

successful search in the Volkszeitung
in the shape of letter purported to
have been written by Mr.. Chopper,
aid kindly requests "the two New Ulm
papers to copy the same and send him
copies for transmission to Mr.. Chopper,
else he would be compelled in the name
of said Chopper to take other steps,
AS the letter is especially affection
ate on US, we are sorry we can not
comply with Mr.. Behr's request in
full. The milk in the cocoa.nut is
about as follows: Chopper wants a
copy of the questionable ''New Ulm
Herald" article; also wants to know if
Jos. Bobleter is yet interested on the
paper, as he could expect such base.
ness from nobody else in New Ulm but
the Bobleter family who, not being
satisfied to ruin him for miserable
sum, now after years endeavors to de.
file his honest name. He says he has
been in Milan county, Texas, for the
past 8 months and has many acquaint.
ances in the vicinity Of so to so miles
and that he was just then on collec.
ton tour and was do ing weN. Hasn't
much time to write as he has to make
fourty miles yet that day; desires
to be informed who the pro.
prietor of the s'New Ulm POST is as
he wants to give him a piece of his
mind on the shank robbery
The article in question and which
has drawn the ire of Peter Chopper, ap-
peared in the Review Of November
10Th, last, and will no doubt be remem.
bered by many of our readers. Sever.
al of our citizens saw mention of the
attempted robbery in other papers
and it was common street talk days
before it appeared in either of the
New Ulm papers. The record left be.
hind by Max Schiele and Peter Crop.
per when they took their departure
from this city, and their checkered
course since then, is such that our ci'
tizens were warranted in believing the
truth of the report, and even now
many are 10th to believe the genuiness
of the Chopper letter which appeared
in the Volkszeitung. It is unnecessary
to go into the details of "Gropper's
ruin by the Bobleter family for mis-
cradle sum of money Suffice it to
say that he was loaned 5000, he giving
a mortgage on his homestead for Sc.
curity; that after securing the loan he
paid neither taxes, interest nor insur.
ance, and before the "Bobleter family
was aware of it the property was sold
to Christ. Stoll for the taxes. That the
''Bobleter family" redeemed the pro.
perty and that when the head of the
'family' called on the "Gropper fam.
lily" to see if some arrangement could
not be made whereby they would re.
tain their homestead he was grossly
insulted and peremptorily ordered
out of the house. That finally after
the "miserable sum- had accumulated
to $40 the mortgage was foreclosed
and the property subsequently sold for
5000, out of which the 'Bobleter fami.
ly" presented Mrs. Chopper with 500.
Does the foregoing look like the "Bob.
Letter family accomplished his ruin!
The shiftless, drunken vagabond had
no one but himself to blame for the
loss of his homestead.
He has the cheek to write that he is
''doing WE'LL" while it is a fact toe
well known here that his family IS liv'
ing in very destitute circumstances in
Milwaukee. But we have already de-
voted too much space upon the lazy
tramp, and in conclusion, upon the soil
