DEFENDERS OF NEW ULM

Invited to Attend COmmemoration
Exercises of Memorable Bat
ties.
To the Defenders of New Ulm: In
commemoration of the critical condition
INTO which the state was thrown in con-
sequence of the Sioux outbreak of Au-
gust, 1862, and in just appreciation of
the important services rendered by the
stubborn defenders of New Ulm against
the repeated attacks of the hostiles, the
state of Minnesota has caused the cree
ton of a monument at New Ulm to per-
petIate the memory of the battles at
this place, and as the monument will be
turned over to the city by the proper
authorities on the twenty-ninth anniver-
sary of the historic events, Saturday,
Aug. %, 1891, the citizens of New Ulm
hereby extend cordial invitation to
the heroic defenders to honor this city
with their presence on that occasion.
The men of those dark days are fast
passing away, and as this will probably
be the last occasion for a general re-
union of those who stood ready to sacri-
fee their lives in repelling the attacks

Coroner's Inquiry Into the
Circumstances OF Morris
Weisser's Death.
Lawyer Erwin Is Suddenly
Stopped by DR.. Darling in
Cross Examination.
Jury Return a Verdict Find
ing Koran the Slayer
Of WeiSSer.
Appellants Given a Chill by
the Decisions of the Su-
preme Court.

The inquest on the body of Moritz L.
Weisser, shot Saturday by Chris Koran,
was held Yesterday by Deputy Coroner
Darling at the rooms of Gross & Dohm,
undertakers, on West Third street. The
jurymen were WIN. O'Keefe, NJ. O'Neill,
William Zoos, Matthias Koch, f. d. Alb
hey and L. II. Reeves. Attorney w.
W. Erwin appeared on behalf of Koran,
who is under arrest. The autopsy on
the body showed that the bullet en-
tered in front of the stomach on the left
side. pierced the liver, and lodged in
the back. The wound was one which
would cause death in few minutes.
Mrs. Koran was the first witness.
She was entirely calm and col
lected, and did not show the
slightest concern over the fact that
her husband was under arrest on
charge of murder, and that the proceed
ings of an inquest resulted from causes
in which she was principal actor. Her
testimony of the shooting was in detail
identical with the statement she made
Saturday evening to the GLOBE re-
porter, and which was published Sun
day. She told with perfect GOODNESS
the story of her sitting in the kitchen
peeling potatoes; that WelSser was
showing her some receipts, when her
husband entered and fired at him as he
was going up stairs at her request. She
testified that she found Weisser IN his
room dead after Koran left the house.
Rosie Koran, the eight-year-old
daughter, cOrroboraGed her mothers
evidence.
Attorney Erwin cross-examined the
child and endeavored to make her admit
that her mother had toll her what to
say at the inquest.
Deputy Coroner Darling after time
refused to allow Mr.. Erwin TO continue
his line of examination.
Mrs. Koran was recalled and Mr.. En-
win tried to make her admit that she
coached the child, but the coroner
stopped the attorney after the first ques-
ton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cook, boarderS, testified
to entering the kitchen after the shoot
ing and the struggle withKoran for the
possession of the revolver. Mrs. Cook
further testified that she saw WeiSSer
coming up stairs with his hand held to
his side. In cross-eXaminatlon AttOr-
ney Erwin brought out most import
ant fact. The witness stated that she
saw no receipts in Weisser's hands.
nor could she find any in the kitchen or
on the person of the dead man.
This completed the testimony, and
the jury, after brief deliberation,
brought in the following verdict:
We, the jury in the above entitled case,
find that Moritz L. Weisser received his death
wound by bullet from a pistol in the hands,
of Chris Koran.
Koran was arraigned in the municipal
court yesterday before Judge Twohyi
on a charge of murder, and was re-
manded until tomorrow.

A SUCCESS.

Another success has been
scored in the Silk Depart

a red-hot day did not pre-
vent hundreds of customers
from taking advantage of
the wonderful prices and
qualities. Each mail brought
orders from our country Gus
toners. AS we had a large
quantity, the assortment is
still as good as ever.
They are the best Silks
we ever sold at SO Cents.
Best for style and best for
qualities. We bought them
for less than the importer
paid for them, and we are
selling them for reputation,
and not for profit.

The strangers from New York and
other Eastern states who were in the
city yesterday were more than aston
ished when they came before the paint
ing 1.-The Death of Cesar" and saw
how, in many respects, il surpassed
anything that had been exhibited in st.
Paul before. The art room OF the Cali
fornia was crowded from morning until
night. The famous landscapes were
not without their devotees, especially
the Aujou piece, which. by its very size,
is bound to attract attention. A Singu-
lar occurrence yesterdaywas the appear
ance of an old countryman, who came
in and asked one of the attendants as to
where the death of Cesar" was. He
was shown to the rear end of the art
room and placed before the gem.

| didn't come to see a dead lion. L

He was gently carried away, aud the
throng resumed its place about the
painting, which has attracted more
attention than any other work of art
ever hung here.

Gen. Merritt Notes Out Justice
to a Poor Private.
Gen. Merritt has refused to confirm
the report of general court-martial at
Fort Keogh, Mont, in the case OF Private
James Nimmo, of the Sixth cavalry.
Nimmo was convicted by the court of
deliberately and maliclously'' shooting
a horse, the property of Fred South
wort, of Fort Yellowstone, WyO., July
8. He was sentenced by the court to be
dishonorably discharged and confined at
hard labor for two years. Gen. Merritt,
in passing upon the case, says:
The general commanding is constrained to
regard the submitted proofs as insufficient to
Justify the conviction of the accused. 1t is
not shown beyond reasonable doubt that
the animal was shot by either of the two men
concerned in the firing. Assuming that he
was shot by one of them. it is left by no
means clear by which The proceedings are
approved The findings and sentence are
disaDproved, and the accused will be restored
to duty.

claim to the lands. After such abandon

ten years, and until patents issued to

of the certificates, the equity of the
holder of the certificate to the patents
is not superior to that of one who, under

This is going to be big fair, but we will
excuse you. If you insist on going TO fair

bad jail within block of our grounds which
