possible with thousand and one mos

AS we were about giving up all hope
OF getting any rest that night, happy
thought struck our friend Hagberg. He
pulled off his boots and in Just min.
ute and half there wasn't a MOSQUITO
within half mile of the camp, and
the balance of the night was passed in
peaceful repose.
Sunday morning opened out clear
and Dalmy and Camp Grow was astir
bright and early. Our friend Haebere
was the first to see the light of day, and
before the others had completed their
toilets he brought in a rabbit and a
pigeon, dead witnesses of his excellent
craftsmanship with q rifle. Mr.. Nix
and r.Fischer soon busted themselves
with getting breakfast, while Mr.. Hag-
berg and ye editor went off in quest Of
berries. About a. m. we sat down to
a breakfast that would have done cred
it to the West or Ryan. The bill OF
fare consisted of five kinds of meats,
fish, chow-chow, two kinds of bread,
cake, cheese, butter, milk, coffee, can,
ned peaches, three kinds of berries,

joyed ourselves in various ways until
dinner time, when another sumptuous re.

ers. In the afternoon we took a boa,
ride on the river and plunge over the
dam. We also had very pleasant Wis.
its from Ernst Brandt of New Ulm and
John c. Zieske and son from Sleepy
Eye. At Z o'clock, and:after hearty
supper, Mr.. Hagberg and We editor bid
adieu to Camp Crow and took Foot
and Walkers line to Sleepy Eye, where
we arrived in time to take The 9 O..
clock train for home.
Both Mr.. Nix and Mr.. Fischer are
making careful examinations of the for.
nations of the Cottonwood and sur.
rounding country, and they expect to
put in at least ten days between Iberia
and the mouth of the Cottonwood.
They have already gathered and sent
home very large number of fine spe-
cimens of rocks, and anticipate some
valuable discoveries. They have stood
the trip remarkably we'll and are in the
best of spirits.

Re-Union Of New Ulm's Defenders.

1t has been suggested by some of
those who defended New Ulm during
the Indian outbreak in 1862, that re-
union be held here in commemoration
of the battle. That the men who came
to our aid from neighboring towns are
DESTROYS of participating in reunion
of this kind. the following letter is

LIE Sueur, Mimi, July1l, 1888.
Jos. Bobleter, Esq.

Dear Sir:-Some of us who defended
New Ulm against the Indians in 1862,
think it would be appropriate to com.
memorate the day of the battle q think
itzwas the 25th), or two days, if you
choose, by Il general reunion at New
Um. | have been appointed to confer
with a few gentlemen of your city in
regard to the matter, and to find out
whether the people of New Ulm
would be pleased to have such
4 gathering take place there. I
have also written to Mr.. Pfaen-
der, MIR. Rosskopf, Mr.. Brust and
Mr.. Nix, who, learned, lived in New
Ulm during the outbreak. Please let
me hear from you, and inform me how
the people there feel about it. There
is not much time to spare. If the
gathering, is to take place, 1 shall have
to correspond with several towns be-
fore final arrangements can be made.
Yours truly,
A. R. DEsCHEH.
If it is not too late to make the ne
cessary arrangements for the reunion,
the REVIEW votes aye on Mr.. Doesch-
cr's proposition. If the brave defend
ers OF New Ulm desire to congregate
here and talk over old times, it be-
hooves us to give them Il hearty well

The sub-contractor on the New Ulm.
Lone Tree Lake and Fort Ridgely mail
route is again in the sulks. The GOV
eminent perpetrates q great injustice
upon the people by letting out the CON
tracts on these mail routes to men who
know nothing at all about the routes,
and generally bid them in for about
half what it costs to operate them, only
to throw them up without moments
notice when they find it don't pay. If
the government paid what the service
is worth the people would get their
mail with regularity; but there always
will be trouble as long as the present
course is pursued.

A couple of discharged circus en-
ployees were detected last Wednesday,
in the brush on the west bank of the
Minnesota river near Bender's brewery.
The men were first detected by some
children bathing in the river AS some
beer had been stolen from the cellar of
Bender's bcwery the night before, and
the children noticing that the men had
heavy cargo of beer on board, notice
was sent up to Mr.. Bender and Mar
shall Winkleman. One of the men had
in the mean time gone to sleep. The
other, noticing that something was up.
took to the woods and so completely
hid himself that the marshal's eaoie
eye failed to detect his hiding place.
Number two, when arrested, asked to
be allowed to wash his face in the
river; but on arriving at the edge of the
water he surprised the natives by Jump
ing into the river and wading and swim
ing to the Nicollet side, despite the re-.
monstrances of the crowd which had
by this time congrega,ed. The chaps left
behind them two empty and one partly
empty beer kegs, two rain coats, some
children's clothing and other traps. all
OF which had been stolen bv them in
the neighborhood. Bender recognized
the kegs rs the ones which had mys-
terlously disappeared from his cellar:
Heidemann claimed ownership of the
rubber coats, while numerous matrons
were still busy asserting the children's
clothing when the reporter left.

When the days labor is DER and the
people betake themselves to rest, there
is a young man who makes his home
not hundred miles from the Union
Hotel who night after night plants
himself on the sidewalk and sends forth
upon the Silly night the most harrow
ing and ''soul stirring" strains that can
be ground out of a clap-trap accordion.
For time the neighbors regarded the
deluded young man pityingly, but final
ly a delegation of ladies armed with
kazoos volunteered to interview him.
He tumbled in short order, and now
the distant sounding of kazoo sends
him scampering around the first street
corner. Although he still occasionally
forgets himself and takes up his old
position on the sidewalk, his concerts
are always cut short in the middle of
the first tune.

On Monday evening, about $3.50 o.
clock, when deputy sheriff Gales went
into the Jail to lock the prisoners in
their cells for the night, he noticed that
two OF the prisoners acted rather queer.
while the third, A. Craft, was not in
sight. Suspicioning some deviltry.
Gales at once locked the two prisoners
in their cells and then began the search
for the third. He was soon convinced
that a jail delivery had been affected.
and going into the privy he found a
hole in the wall, under the window.
large enough to admit the passage of the
body of man Every thing Indicated that
young Craft had but q few minutes be-
fore been helped through the hole by
his contederates on the inside, and that
in five or ten minutes more all three
would have escaped. The wall ut the
place where an exit was effected is Is
inches thick; but as an iron rod from
the stove and q stove-lid handle had
been brought into requisition, it is
quite probable that not to exceed thirty
minutes was consumed in removing the
brick and mortar. Sheriff Schmidt
was in the upper part of the county ut
the time. Craft is the first prisoner to
escape from the present county Jail, but
it is not probable that his liberty will
be of long duration.
