What might have been fire of some
proportions broke out at the depot
MONDAY evening andhad it not been
for athe efforts of some of the en-
ployees the new improvements on
the building would have been just SO
much thrown away. The night operat-
or was filling a lamp from the oil box
IN the freight room and when lighting
it the match accidentally fell into 10
OF shavings saturated with oil. 1t at
once became a big bonfire and it was
only through hard work of Mr.. Grimm
and the night man that the OF, box was
removed and the flames extinguished in
time to prevent the destruction of the
building. The latter burned his hands
quite badly.
Joseph Reinhard, one Of the Oldest
residents in the town of CORTLAND, died
at his home Monday morning at 10
O'Clock of paralysis. For nearly three
years Mr.. Reinhard has been a sufferer
from the disease bat he stood up well
under it all until about two months aoo.
he then sustained a very severe attack
and on that occasion was taken to the
hospital at this place where he re-
NAMED till within a few days. He was
66 years of age and came to this count
ry in 1854 settling in Nicollet County
three years later. His long residence
there has made him welIknown and re.
spected OF everybody and his death will
be a.loss to the community in which he
resided. The funeral occurred yesterday
morning from the Catholic church Of
this city and was largely attended by
friends and relatives.

attractive programme was presented,

from the start. The eight, who are the
possessors of youth, beauty and vivac-

The native songs were sung with a vim
that was as refreshing as they were
novel, and elected rounds upon rounds
OF applause. During the evening Ed
mund I. Phelan gave limitations of
Stuart Robson, Dion Boucicault and
other familiar stage notables which won
much desired applause.
The special session of the county CON-
missioners for the examination of the
various petitions for and against remov-
al OF the county seat was ended last
Wednesday and the work of revision
concluded. The result was, as expected
in our last issue, favorable to New Ulm
and virtually settles the matter. After
thoroughly revising and correcting the
petition for removal the. number of its
signatures, 1923, was reduced to to 1922,
putting it below majority of the vote
at the last general election whereas it
should have held 60 per cent. The
New Ulm remonstrance has a clear
