of the whole country extending to Fort

ment of the Atlantic region of our country.
But the battle of New Ulm has never re-
ceived more than a passing notice from the
newspapers of the state, and n record i'm two
books that are about as well known among
our fellow contrymen at the present day
as the Koran or the new version of the holy
scriptures-nOt from any defect of the
books. but because people will read the his

assert without fear of contradiction that
THE BATTLE OF NEW ULM,
and the massacre that Immediately pre-
ceded it, were two events that are UNI
equaled, the one in the superlative magni-
tude of its horrors and the other
in its phenomenal success and inn
pOrtant consequences, since the settlement
of the American continent. Had not the
Sioux met with the stubborn resistance
they received at New Ulm, and been batiied
as they were in their murderous assaults
upon the settlements of the state. the whole
valley of the Minnesota would have fallen
a prey to their ravageS, and St Paul and
Minneapolis would have been sternly
menaced, ifnot overthrown. After twenty
three years of progress and advancement,
i'm which time the state has been populated
with multitudes of people. and railroads
have penetrated the uttemOst ends of the
land, 1t seems little like eXaggeratlOn 10
say that a savage tribe could sweep down
upon our capital city and lay it i'm ashes.
But those who know the situation as it
existed twenty-three years ago, will agree
with me that the consequences L suggest
are not without the strongest probabilities
to rest upon.

THE ATTACK on FORT RIDGELEY.


Aug. 10 a company OF United States
volunteers. numbering about forty-five, who
were at Fort Ridgeley, started to Redwood
under Capt. Marsh to find out what The
matter was. The Indians ambushed them
and killed every man as they were crossing
the river at the ferry. The Indians then
marched on Fort Ridgeley and made de-
termined attack. lasting from the 10th TO
the 22d. 1t was gallantly defended, how
ever, and the attack repulsed by the little
garrison, Sergt. Jones handling the artil-
lery with great effectiveness.
Meanwhile, on the 18th of August. the
news of the outbreak reached St. Peter.
Maj. Thomas Galbraith was there with
company of volunteers he had enlisted for
the war. and Immediately marched with
them TO Fort Ridgeley, arriving in time to
participate i'll IFS defense. leaving St. Peter
almost without arms of any description.
With these particulars, Judge Flandreau
then proceeded with the account of the at
tack and defense of New Ulm. with which
he was so intimately connected, speaking as
follows:

The Procession.

Special to the Globe.
New ULM, Aug. 22.-At 10 o'clock a.
m. the procession was to start from Tur-
ner Hall park. There was the usual delay,
however. and it was fully 1890 when the
column was ready to march. The weather
early in the day was threatening, but it
cleared before the procession started.
The order of the procession was the
same as given in tO-day's GLOBE.
The procession started on a signal from a
battery gun and passed through the prin-
cipaI streets of the town, and was lwit-
messed by crowds of people. who thronged
the windows and crowded the edges of the
streets. As the defenders passed they were
everywhere received by great applause,
both of hand and mouth.

continued until at least LOCO people We're
murdered in cold blood without gun being
fired in defense so far as can be learned. OF
course the alarm was given by various peO-
pie who escaped and many of the settlers
fled to Fort Ridgele, New Ulm and other
points that promised safety.

THE SPEECHES.

On returning TO the park, where
temporary stand had been
erected, the entire incloSure was
packed with people who had gathered to
listen to the speeches. After a selection by
the band Col. Bobleter opened the proceed
ings by a few well-chcsen remarks, and
introduced DIR. C.Weschlle. the mayor of
the city, who made an address in German,
of which the following is a translation:

Ladies and Gentlemen: l greet YOU
heartily in the name of the city of New
Jlm, and wish that you may enjoy your
selves to your hearts content, so that when
you leave us we shall part as friends. | am
convinced that our ladies and gentlemen
will endeavor to please you so that in fu-
ture days you will remember that we claim
you as welcome guests.
. Ladies. l now beg your pardon for adj
dressing the gentlemen only, but inasmuch
as man and wife are one, and man alone
would be naught without woman, the fol-
lowing words concern you {. lally well.
Gentlemen, L extend to you a welcome
with all my heart, and thank you, however
late. for the good will shown our
CITY twenty-three years ago. i thank you
heartily for the self-denial which caused
you TO appear in our midst, which induced
you t, ID in the rescue of the town, be-
sieged on every side by the cruel
savage. Gentlemen, you came not to
receive a reward for your noble deter
mination, but because, impelled by
the holiest and grandest motives, and
out of love for the despairing be-
leagured. you came of your own
free will to aid the doomed
neigh6or, and your hearts felt and should
still feel the most precious reward, when
you reflect that many of us who stand by
you now, as then, owe our lives to your
timely aid. 1t is grand cause for emotion
10 dwell in thrifty town, which. had it
not been for your nobleness of purpose
twenty-three years ago, would never be
what IL now is. Gentlemen. again thank
you heartlly in the name of our city and
nope tlat to-day you will renew acquaint-
anceS ana form eternal friendships for
which there was. in those days. fit occasion
but no time.
The welcome was received with cheers

Maj. Sanders was next introduced. and
alluded to the immense Importance of the
battle OF New Um TO Minnesota and the
country, saying that the intentions of the
Winnebagos at that time were to
join the Sioux i'll the event of the
destruction of New Ulm. He hoped the
time would come when impartial Justice
would be done those who rushed to the

around which, reassured, they again began
the work of rebuilding their ruined homes
and renewed anew the battle of life. All
are aware what trouble and calamitIes
New Ulm has endured since the outbreak,
but nothing has been able to destroy it.
GraSShoppers, storms, etc., have impaired
its prosperity and Tetarted its progress, but
the indomitable perseverance of its citizens,
as well as the unceasing diligence of our
farmer population, has enabled us to show
you to-day little city of $500
population. with q strong and healthy
growth, good homes, schools, churches and
public buildings which we call our home.
[ hope this memorable day will lead to
many happy reunions in the future, that
our friendship may last for years to come,
and that future generations, long after we
are gone from the face of the earth, will re-
member this day and us.

drive the Indians out of the lower part of
the town.
You must know the ground TO realize the

road; where this road met the high plat
eau, it became cut, and was a sunken road
for about one or two hundred feet. Just at
this point was a grove of trees, and this
point was about quarter of a mile below
our barrieades.
We had seen the Indians eOngregating at
this point, and felt certain that they con-
templated rush upon the town as soon as
they deemed they had sufficient force TO
attempt it. We expected to find the In
dians in the sunken road. The word to
charge was given and we sailed out with
yellS that would do credit to any Indians on
the continent. We had mistaken our cal
culatiOns. however, and found the Indians
in swail about half way between our
point of starting and the place where we
expected TO find them. They had crawled
around the edge OF lhe bluff and gained
this point without our being able to see
them. When we uncovered them 1 think
