A large and enthusiastic meeting of
representative business men was held
in Turner Hall last Monday evening to
make the final arrangements for the
reunion of the defenders of New.Ulm in
1862, to be held in this city next Satur-
day and Sunday.
The meeting was presided over by
Chas. Wagner, and Peter Scherer act
ed in the capacity of scribe. Mr.. Sche-
rer read letter from DR.. Daniels of
St. Peter saying that from 80 to 60
members of the St. Peter company that
came to the rescue of New Ulm in 1862
would participate in the reunion next
Saturday. Mr.. Doescher writes that
40 to 50 members of the lie Sueur COM
pany will come up. The report from
Mankato is not quite so favorable, but
Mr.. Bierbauer writes that fair repre-
sentation of the Mankato company
will be in attendance. Many of the
old Indian fighters will be accompa.
MED by their families, and many more
will come as interested spectators
Special invitations have been extended
to E. St. Julien Cox, Sergt. Jones and
Werner Boesch, and through the latter
to the defenders of Fort Kidgely. In
view of the fact that many of the de-
tenders will be accompanied by their
ladies, and many having signiied their
intentions of remaining over Sunday,
it was decided to provide quarters for
them. as much as possible, in private
families, as the crowd will be too great
for our hotel accommodations.

pointed to make all necessary arrange
ments for the reception and entertain
ment of our guests:
