The St. Peter Tribune is simply mis-
taken when it says that the stores have
always been kept running in New Ulm
on Sunday the same as on week days.
No attempt has ever been made by our
merchants to encourage trade on Sun
day. 1t is true the front doors of the
stores have been kept open, part of the
day. but no goods are displayed on
sidewalk in front of stores as is done on
week days. 1t has always been the
custom to close up the stores in the af-
ternoon. They now propose to close
up entirely on Spnday-provided all
will join IT. the movement.

to us that if we were opposed to the

PEELED to levy tariff for its support, and
not because we would not prefer free

A Romantic story.
ALBANY Argus.l

William Dunn, well known and re-
spected by all who know him in West
Troy, has returned to that village after
serving out two-and-a-half years SEN
tence for a crime of which he was al
ways believed to be guiltlcss. Quite
romance is connected with Dunn's ar
rest, which occurred in West Troy
nearly three years ago. AT Kingston
some four years since, companion Of
Dunn's stole watch and a small
amount Of money from man at that
place. The young man feared arrest,
and the money and watch were handed
to Dunn to keep, but nothing was said of
therobbery to him. The wstchwas found
on Dunn's person by an officer, and he
was locked up, tried, and sentenced to
prison for a term of two and half
years. The man who committed the
robbery skipped out and Dunn's plea of
innocence was doubted. While Dunn
was being taken to prison he made his
escape from an officer and came to West
Troy. He strove hard to forget the
past and lead an honest life, and for
long time worked diligently in barber
shop. Dunn made friends by his affa-
bic ways, and among them young lady
whomhe soon learned to love, which was
reciprocated. He did not wish to keep
any of his past life from the young
lady, and informed her Of his arrest
and sentence. but declared his inno-
cence. The mother of Dunn's sweet
heart was displeased with the company
her daughter was keeping. and upon be-
ing informed of the sentence that hung
over Damn she informed the Kingston
authorities. who came to West Troy
and rearrested him. Sympathy for
Dunn ran high, and many were the good
wishes bestowed upon him when being
taken back TO prison, and it was hoped
that the girl would remain true to her
lover. Dunn is now in West Troy, and
is receiving a warm reception from his
friends. The young lady was married
in West Troy two weeks ago.
