any severe damage by hail in this

James NJ Wilson, an old railroad
man and for awhile landlord of the
Nlcollet House in St. Peter, was killed |
at Mankato last week Tuesday. Mr..
Wilson was conductor OH the spur rail
road of the G. e. N. w., and while |
coupling cars his foot caught in frog
and he was run over and almost instant |
ly killed. Mr. Wilson was very popular |
wherever known and his death has cast |
a deep gloom over railroad circles. He
leaves a wife and six children to mourn
his loss.
The New Ulm REvIw is poking fun
at Sleepy Eye Lake and intimates that |
there wasn't water enough in it to !
drown the man who tried to commit !
suicide last week. The next time the |
REVIEW man comes up here he will be |
ducked in the lake unless no promises
to be more respectful in speaking of !
it.-Gaeete.
Now, Tom. don't. We will try and |
speak OF the great unsaltod sea in !
more respectful terms hereafter.
The Governors Guards pic mic and
hop 1T the New Ulm House, (IIenle's)
in Milford, last Sunday, was a grand
success both socially and financially.
Besides the large number of people in |
attendance from New Ulm, a number |
were present from Golden Gate and
Sleepy Eye. Fred. Schleuder and VIM.
Hesser, of Sleepy Eye, carried off the !
first and second prizes at the target,
and j. X. Rosskopf and j. Dingler of
New Ulm were awarded the third and
fourth prizes. L. Weyhe and Mike
Lehrer were the winners Of the bowl
ing alley prizes.
Horatio Werring informs lis that y
huge liberty pole has been raised 1T
Golden Gate, and the stars and stripes
now float over that head village
on all festive days. Mr.. Werring has
also built a large and commodious
dance hall, and the young people Of
that vicinity can now tip their fantas-
tic toe to their hearts content. y good
! time is expected 1T "POdunk' on the
Fourth, and don't you forget it.
A. Palmer, of West Newton, was
run over and badly bruised up by a
team on Center street, last Wednesday.
He was walking down the hill, when
the harness of 4 following team gave
way and the horses commenced to run,
and before the word of warning reach
ed his ear he was knocked down and
run over. A lady in the wagon at
tached to the runaway team, terror
stricken at the sight, tainted and fell
out of the wagon, but strange to say
was very little injured. Dr.. Null
Ter was summoned to attend to MI
Palmer's injuries. No blame attaches
to anyone for the accident, so far as
we were able to ascertain.
| a seventeen year old son of Henry
Sperhaas met with what came near
proving fatal accident last Thursday.
He was seated on the front part of a
load Of brick, and while crossing one
of those beautiful little bitches on
Broadway near the City Garden the
front end gate came out and he fell
headlong to the ground. Some brick
fellionto hisneck and shoulder and only
for the team making a sharp turn and
breaking off the wagon tongue he
would have been crushed to death IN
der the heavy load. He was consider
ably injured and was picked up more
dead than alive. Blood was DOSING
from his mouth and nose and it was
, feared that he had sustained fatal in
ternal injuries. DR.. Berry has the
boy in charge and he is getting along
very nicely.
Not having been present at the
citizens meeting last ednesday
night, we are unable to give a full re-
port of the proceedings, but we are
informed that quite an animated dis
cussion was INDUCED in and the pres
ent ''ditching' mania Of the city
. council was severely criticised.
, Whether the council was justly cen.
! sured or not we are unable tc
' say, but to a man up a tree it
a, does look just a ''leedle' like
! this ditching business was overdone,
;, and we rather guess that the council
' has come to the same conclusion. as
some of the bitches have been filled
e up again. After considerable sparring
j. the netting finally decided that the
t council should be authorized to issue
: city bonds in the sum of "a 900 for the
t purpose of making all needed improve
d ments, and a special election will be
). held on July 18th to vote the bonds
