The dance at Turner Hall on Sunday
evening received only a small attend
ance, but those present enjoyed pleas
ant social time. The only comment
necessary is that the orchestra, under
whose auspices the dance was given,
deserved a better patronage.
The five best scores at the last rifle
club shoot were made in the following
order by E. Brandt, G. Hauenstein,
Gustave Goetsch, e. Brust and John
Lila. The standing for three success.
sive weeks gives Chas. Hauenstein the

Brust, Gustave Goetch, E. Brandt, and

Some papers have the easiest way in
the world of falling into mistakes. For
instance the St. Peter Journal SAYS that
the New Ulm electric light plant has
proved a total failure, that the council
have refused to accept the system, and
that New Ulm is again in the dark.
In not one of these statements is there a
gram of truth.
Before inspecting Company A, Gen
eral Bunker reviewed Capt Burg's bat
terry, and expressed himself as not only
pleased but surprised at its apparent
proficiency and ease in drill. Consider
ing that the battery has only drilled
two or three weeks, it is doing remark.
ably we'll and constitutes a troop that
New Ulm can take pride in.,
Through the efforts of certain citizens
the Milwaukee City Theatre Company
have been induced to play in New Ulln.
Last night they presented one OF their
favorite pieces to crowded house, and
tonight they will render one OF equal
merit. fhe troupe is, without doubt,
the best German company in the United
States. Hearing 50 much of New Ulm,
they were easily induced to. spend a
couple of evenings with our citizens.
and the treat is one that is appreciated.
The attorneys of Clifton Holden, the
Redwood Falls murderer. now under
.
sentence of death, will apply to the
United States Supreme Court fol- his
release on writ of habeas corpus. 1t
is claimed that the John Day Smith law
was passed since the alledged murder
by Holden, and that it inf1icts addition
al penalty and therefore is in violation
of the United States constitution. There
is said to be a similar Supreme court
case on record, and it is expected that
the case will be remaDded to the state
courts and that the result will be The
release of Holden.
The suicide of Miss Grace Lufkin by
cutting her throat is said to have oc.
Cured ut Chicago last week, mt the
home of her married sister. who is a
resident Of that city. The young wo-
man was q daughter Of Moses Lufkin,
for whose murder William Rose now
stsnds convicted. She was probably
the main subject Of the feud that ex.
isted so long between the Rose and
!.1ufkin families. It is claimed that her
hand and heart were sought by Rose,
but his love was not returned and her
father demanded discontinuance of
his attentions. The fire of hatred was
here kindled and from time to time the
families engaged in bitter quarrels and
lawsuits. The romance will close with
the assassination Of the father, the sui
eide Of the daughter and probably BY
the execution of the lover. MURRAY Pi.
