Ulm Men at Tracy.
i The Tracy Trumpet of this week re-
cords peculiar move on the part o1
the Northwestern officials at Tracy,
which will be read with interest here as
it effects New Ulm interests to consio
cradle extent. The Trumpet says:
/. \ bomb shell of large proportion has
been exploded among those Tracy cit.
liens doing business on the railroad re-
serve south of Front street in the shape
of twenty day order from the compa.
panp to vacate. Like all orders emf
mating from railroad corporations no
reason for such an action are given. and
probably none are expected. This strip
of land has been occupied since the
birth of Tracy by those who require
track privileges, and any other location
has never been thought of, and much
less dreamed of, and the suddenness of
it upsets the nerves when thinking of it.

freeze Out the very men who have con-
tributed largely to TracY's growth, and
who live here and spend their money

sheds, David II. Evans elevator and
grain warehouse, and on tie south side
of the track the Wino'.a Lumber Co, 3
office and yards. All but the three last of
these have pre-emptory orders to move,
within twenty days, while the New Ulm
Eleyator Go. and Winona Lumber Co.,
are allowed to remain. Mr.. Evans has
been requested to remove his warehouse
| to make room for the New Ulm Eleva-
tor Co.'s coal sheds, and to also increase
the capacity of his elevator. Had clean
sweep OF these business places been
made and room furnished on the south
side of the tracks for them, the railroad
company would have received the hear
ty commentator of the business men
directly interested, as we'll as the citi-
zens OF the whole town, but we are sor-
ry to say such Is not the case, nor is any
provision to be made on the railroad
lands, where switchage can be obtained
for the vacated business men.
The Governor very properly declines
to bring his clemency to bear upon the
Rose case. It is a matter fully adjudi-
Gated. The man has had every facility
to prove himself innocent and has failed
