Paul Fire and Marine to the extent Of
1920, his receipt for which is now in the
hands of Mr.. Pfaender. After receiy-
ing this amount, he went about among
his neighbors, and asked for assistance,
claiming that he lost his insurance by
failure to renew his policy, when, as a

have opened up to commerce an empire
which is imperial, equal in area to the
thirteen original States of the Union.
The city has been honored the past

of LIE Sueur County, to whom more
than all others, New Ulm is indebted
