New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1889-03-06

On the 24th two men with two young girls
arrived in ST. Cloud, Mimi, and registered al
the ST. Oh aries hotel as j. c. Bell and William
Bleiter, Mary Bell and Kate Better of Brain
erd. The man Bleiter said the girls were sis
tiers OF his and Bells; that he was a cheese
factory agent and had some collections to
make here. The party were at the hotel all
night but had separate rooms and their con
duct was perfectly exemplary Next day a
man named Gray, the step-father of the girl
registered as Bell, appeared, and with the
assistance of the authorities took possession
otthe girls and took them back home The
men escaped through q second story rear
window of the hotel. Gray is proprietor OF
the Nlcollet hotel, Brainered, and SAYS the
girl is hayward, while she says she is cruelty
treated. She is but fourteen years old, but
quick and bright, and said she expected to
go to relatives in St. Paul. while her com
panlon, who worked in The hotel and was a
couple of years older, was going into vari-
ETY. show.
Great excitement prev rails at West Superior,
over the attempted murder of Miss Maggie
Welter, a highly respected and popular young
lady The particulars are as follows: Miss
Welter occupies a room in the Wedough
Block as dressmaking establishments.
One evening she left the room with the in
tentlons OF going to supper She had got
ten half way down the stairs leading to the
street when a masked man approached her
from from the street and greeted her with
the remark "Now will have revenge" He
then struck at her with large dagger. She
warded off the blow, but he struck again,
this time making deep cash in her shoulder
The perpetrator fed, and the young lady
was picked up soon after in an unconscious
condition, and cared for by her parents. The
greatest indignation is expressed upon all
sides. Rumor, of Jack the Ripper are heard
on the streets, and if the would-be assassin
is taken it is liable to go hard with him
Later suspicion has rested upon nan who
formerly boarded with the WeltertSiniy and
with whom Miss Welter had some disagree
ment heretofore.
William Davis, patient at the insane
asylum at Pontiac, Mich, was killed by P
r. Taylor, an attendant. The coroner's
jury rendered a verdict that the killing was
done IN self defense. The circumstances are
these: AS Taylor passed Davis in the hall
with another imbecile, Davis, who was out of
humor about something, struck Taylor in
the neck. Taylor left the other man, aud
grabbed Davis about,,the waist. They strug-
gled for five minutes, first one then the other
getting the best. When about three feetfrom
bench Taylor gave Davis violent wrench,
throwing him across the arm of the bench
His body was twisted over it and held there
until assistance arrived. An examination of
the body revealed the fact that Davis must
have been handled in a terrible manner The
breast bone was broken in two, and every
RIB on one side was broken except two, and
three were broken twice. The ragged edge
OF the ribs sawed off the veins and artries SO
that the internal cavities were filed with
blood After the fight the patient was taken
out for walk and dragged around the
grounds until he said he could go no further
He was then taken back, put to bed and
died in few minutes.
