Z
his death by being struck and killed BY
large and heavy stick Of cordwood in
the hands of and feloniouslv and inten.
tionally used by Herman Kopp and
VIM. Trautmuller; that they fellonious-
" and intentionally killed tine said
Martin with said stick of cordwood."
On MONDAY evening Kopp and Traut-
muller had an examination before
Justice Fischer which resulted in their
being remanded to jail to await the
action of the grand jury at the spring
term of court.
But little is known of the murdered
man beyond what has already been
stated. Mr.. Bender is of opinion that
he came to New Ulm from Courtland
where he had been at work for a far
mer. The revolver he is said to have
had is an old rusty weapon, it was not
loaded, is out of order and has not been
fired off for a long time. In fact,
man with murderous intent would not
carry such weapon about him. Mr..
Cordes, Mr.. Globes and others who saw
Martin previous to his deadly encounter
near the brewery say that he was not
under the influence of liquor, as far as
outward appearances went to show. He
was man of about 80 years of age. but
he had no papers about him that gave
any clew as to who he is or where he
came from.
Herman Kopp is 25 years old, mar
ried and has two children. He is a
carpenter by trade. VIM. Trautmuller
is AZ years old and the father of eight
small children. He, too, is carpen-
ter. Although much sympathy is ex-
pressed for the families, there is a
general feeling that the men should re-
ceive the full penalty of the law.
There is question in the minds of
NANNY as to how Martin got up into
the hay-loft after receiving his injuries.
and some believe that he was put there
after his death was discovered. His
position when found would give reasons
for this believe. Considerable feeling
is also expressed against those who wit
messed the row and made no attempt to
prevent the murder. Altogether it is
one of the most brutal and unprovoked
murders that has been perpetrated in
this vicinity since the Indian massacre.

Up to this writing no nomination for
postmaster at New Ulm has been sent
to the U. S. Senate. One of our demo-
Gratis we have his name but do not
care to make it public at this time-in
his desperation to bring about the ap-
pointment of our successor, made com.
plant to the department at Washing
ton that we ''did not hang out oar flag
at ha!t-nsast' on the receipt Of the news
of Hendricks death, and for this chen
ious'' crime we should be bounced
forthwith. The joke was too good for
even Democratic officials to keep and
it is now common property in Washing
ton. When the name is sent to the
Senate it will no doubt be accompanied
by a postscript which will read about
as follows: '.To succeed Jos. Bobleter,
removed for not hanging ont his flag at
@half-mast on the receipt Of the news Of
Vice President Hendricks death" And
yet of the 394 voters in New Ulm that
cast their ballots for Cleveland and
Hendricks, not one thought it worth
the while to half-mast his flag in honor
Of the dead Vice President.
r. S.-Should the Hendricks busi-
ness not be instrumental in bringing a
bout the much desired change, the re-
cent deaf b Of Gen. Robert Toombs, the
unrepentant rebel, might answer for
another pretext for reporting our short
comings to the postodice department.

and went out. He was spoken to as he
passed out but he did not seem to hear
and endeavored to make no reply.
When he left Cordes' hotel Martin went
into Bender's stable and layed down.
This was about 10 clock and as far as
has yet been demonstrated was the last
time he was seen alive. One witness
who testified that he went home at
IL 80 o. clock said he saw Martin lying
outside near some barrels when he
went home, but he did not 60 near him
and could not tell whether at that time
he was alive or dead. This witness
also testified that Kopp and Trautmul-
Ter were yet in the saloon when he left.
At the inquest Drs. Berry and Ran
dali made a thorough examination of
the body of the deceased. They testi-
fed that the causl II his death was an
extensive fracture of the skull, at a
point to the left of the base of the
brain, which caused a large fusion of
blood upon the brain and consequent
compression Of the brain. A second ex-
tensive fracture to the base of the skull,
besides other injuries to the scalp, two
bruises on the right thigh; that either

Oranpe Manifesto.

DUBLIN, Dec. 2l.-The grand lodge
of Orangemen of Ireland held a meeting
to-day to devise means for opposing home
rule for Ireland. A large number Of
peers and several Loyalist members Of the
house OF commons were present. A man
ifesto addressed to the Orangemen of
Great Britain was drafted and will be
posted throughout Great Britain and Ire
land to morrow. The manifesto declares
that protestanism in three of the four
provinces of ireland is at the mercy of
ayowed cUnspirators who are endeavoring
to overthrow the rule of imperial govern
ment. 1t claims that the Loyalists repre-
ent the industry and intelligence of Ire
land, and says that one of the first points
which the Parnellites will seek to obtain,
will be the complete control Of educational
matters. This would give them control
over the rising generation, while command
of the police force would make them
masters of the present generation. The
slightest relaxation of the ties of the
union, the manifesto says, will eventuate
in separation and the ultimate ruin of the
country, as it will establish a drill ground
for hostile armies; and dock yards for for
eign fleets in the most vulnerable part of
