NEW ULM, Aug, 22.-At all early hour
this morning all was bustie and activity
in New Ulm. The first peep of the
morning sun saw the entire city ar
rayed in gala attire. Every business
house, residence and public building
was bedecked with creeping vines and
flowers, and even the broad avenues
were not spared the hand of the artistic
decorator. Here and there were tri-
umphal arches, as beautiful and elab-
orate as time, taste and expense could
make them. Across Minnesota street
at frequent intervals hung feStoOns
bearing the hospitable word"W Welcome,"
which seems to mean more in
New UIm than almost anywhere else.
This word, so conspicuous everywhere.
yielded in one place to the inscription,
''TO the Guardians of the Frontier in
1862" which expressed both the object
of all the preparations aud the respect
and love of the city for those who rallied
to the defense of New Ulm in her time
of need.
New Ulm never does anything by
halves, and the elaborate preparations
made for the dedication of the monu-
ment erected by the state to commemo-
rate the battles of New Ulm, fought
twenty-nine years ago, are being adj
mired by a crowd that has its rep
resentatives from all parts of the
state. From the time the special
car bearing Gov. Merriam and a dis
tinguished party of ladies and gentle
men from ST. Paul arrived, at { O'Clock

enrolled in the volunteers.
lie Sueur was not behind, and Editor
j. j. Green, of the Sentinel, headed a
party of the old Indian fighters of that
county that were equaled only by the
number sent over from st. Peter. In
this number were ex-Judge E. St.
Julien Cox, who was Capt; Cox,
the daring leader Of st. Peters
citizens so many years ago; Lieut.. Gov.
Ives and family, Editors johnson and
Fichthorn, j, 3. Sackett and wife, and
many more Maj. B. H. Randall, the
the old sutIer at Fort Ridgely, too, came
all the way from Winona to be present.
From Cottonwood, SigeI, Lafayette,
Newton, Milford and every other town
and village far aud near came the sell
diers who feared not to do battle with
the renowned Little Crow at the head
of his great band OF savages.
The local defenders were almost Om-
nipresent. so anxious were they to eX-
tend every honor to their guests. There
was Dr.Charles WeSchke, the only ply
sician in New Ulm at the time of the
outbreak, smiling and handsome as he
was during ali the years he filled the
Office of mayor. Capt. Jacob Nix, who

and host of others.
The first break in the wave of CONVEX

New Ulm battery. under Capt. Burg,
thundered salute In honor of the ar
rival of special trains from east and
west bearing the bulk of the outside de-

to Turner hall at once. and Mayor
Charles Wagner welcomed them to the

THE MONUMENT.

Description Of the Memorial
Erected by the State.
Two blocks away from the business
center, and in commanding position.
at the intersection of State and Center
streets, stands the monument. 1t is
plainly visible from all parts of the
city, and fiue view of the valley can
be seen from its location. 1t is of white
bronze and rests on base seven feet
square and two feet in height. The
pIinth is five feet eight inches square,
and two feet eight inches in height.
The spur and cap give total height of
south plinths show in base relief, battle
scenes; and the seast and west plinths,
with four tablets. give a life-siZed me-
dallion of Judge Charles E. Flandrau,
and the following Inscriptions: This
monument Is erected by the state of
Minnesota to commemorate the battles
and incidents of the Sioux Indian war
in 1862. which particularly relate to the
town of New Ulm, erected 1890.
"HOnored be the memory ofthe citizens
of Blue Earth. NicOllet, LIE Sueur and
adjacent counties, who so gallantly
came to the rescue of their neighborS
of Brown county, and by their prompt
action and bravery aided the inhabi-
tants in defeating the enemy in the two
battles of New UlIn, whereby the depre
datiOns of the savages were confined to
the border, which would otherwise have
extended into the heart of the state"
Then follows the historic inscription:
The Sioux Indians, located at the Redwood
and Yellow Medicine agencies on the upper
waters of the Minnesota river, broke into
open ops rebel rebellion on the 18th day Of August
in and about the agencies Under the leader

the 18th, open hostilities were at once
commenced, and the traders and whites
were indiscriminately massaered. The

and their people, with a few others.
were notified in time by friendly
disposed Indians, and, to the number of
RbOutfOTty, made their escape to Hutch
lnsOn. Similar events occurred at the
Lower agency on the same day. where
nearly all the traders and whites were
butchered. and several who got away
before the general massacre commenced
were killed before reaching Fort Ridg-
ley, thirteen miles below. or other
places Of safety, to which points they
were fleeing. Nearly all the buildings
at both agencies were destroyed. and
such property as vas valuable to the
Indians was carried off and approprI-
Rted by them. The

| st. Peter defenders. James Shoe
maker, Hon. John F. Meagher and
| Capt. William Bier5auer were promi-
! nent in the Mankato veterans. Capt.
f. Weile, of the Milford company, and
Herman H. BeusmanE made an interest
! ing pair, venerable and erect as though
| the SHOWS of nearly thirty winters had
not whitened their locks since they
drove off and made secure the cattle Of
Milford and surrounding towns.
The monument reached, Hon.John F.
Meagher, Of Mankato. who, on behalf of
the state monument committee, formally
turned over the monument to Gov. Mer-
riam as the representative of the state.
Mr.. Meagher's well-known features
were a signal for little applause, which
was increased at the close of his neat
and taking address. Mr.. Meagher is
not a man to waste words, but he
is an effective speaker, and
all the vast assemblage heard
by Gov. Merriam, the popular chief
magistrate Of the state, who yesterday
appeared at his best, in a speech as
felicitous as the governors efforts
always are in these later days, turning
the monument over to the local authori-
ties.
The procession next moved on to
Turner Hall park, where the speech
making was again renewed. Maj. San
ders, formerly the captain of the re-
doubtabIe LIE Sueur Tigers, was intro
duced as the orator of the day, deliver
ing a speech filled with history and eX-
perience. He was followed by Peter
Scherer, one of the New Ulm defenders
in German. Both of these will be found
in another column. Ex-Gov. Ramsey
spoke but a few words, expressing
his delight at being present, but
asking to be excused. Judge Flan-
drau. the ''savior of New Ulm," was
received with tumultous applause. He
was not a little affected by this greet
ing, which did not, however. prevent
HIM from delivering an eloquent ad-
dress. Capt. Cox concluded the speech
making.
In the evening both the large halls of
Turner hall were crowded, a concert
and tableau being followed by dancing
until late hour, many OF the guests
remaining over until Monday. The

and the noble monument which this
morning cuts the crisp air is the only
mementO of that thrilling scene twenty
nine years ago. OF all Of the accounts
of the famous fights, none is more inter
esting than that written by Hon.
Charles f. Flandrau. who was in com
mand of the defenders. 1t is his account
which is here given.
Everything about the agencies. up to
the 18th day of August, 1862, presented
the usual appearance of quiet and Sc
curity. On the nth of August small
party of Indians appeared at Acton and
murdered several settlers. Whether
these Indians had previously left the
agencies with this intention is doubtful.

after l O'Clock one of the events longest
to be remembered took place at Turner

of beautiful design and workmanship
were given to all defenders. The FORM

Your Excellency, Ladies and Gentle
men: Three years ago the legislature of
our state made an appropriation for the
erection of a monument 10 commemor-
ate the great struggle of defense against
the most warlike tribe of Indians Of
modern times, which took place on this
beautiful plain twenty-nine years ago.
In the absence of our chairman, who
was Minnesota's most distinguished cit
izen-the late Gen. Henry H. Sibley-it
becomes my duty and pleasure to pre-
sent for your keeping this gift of a
grateful people to the memory of the
gallant defenders who laid down their
lives in our states defense.
New Ulm, its battles and defenders,
as time rolls OH, become as inseparably
part of our great state as the mighty
Minnesota, whose waters received the
life blood of the brave men slam by saw
age hands while defending their dear
ones and homes.
A conflict with savage tribe, such as
took place here, will never occur again
among our people, and hence it is we'll

Although l had not heard of Capt.
Marsh's disaster. declined to allow so
small command to attempt the reoccu-
patton of New Ulm. My staff stood by me
in this effort, and a gentleman from LIE

to the men to induce them to return.
