son he is anxious to show his strength in
the municipal election next week. It
Is an admitted fact, however, that he
has mlscalculated the popularity and
vote-getting qualities Of his opponent
and the non-partisan movement. The
latter, as can be noticed by even the
most casual observer, is progressing
nicely all ever the city and there is no
longer any doubt that the citizens
ticket will be elected from top to bot
tom. It is necessary, however, that
all the voters should get out on election
day and register their ballots and make
the endorsement of the popular move
ment as unanimous as possible. Good
men can only be interested in work
that is unrenumerative by strong and
general demand that makes their SER
vice seem duty.
In another column will be found a
sample ballot. Good judgment will be
shown if an overwhelming majority are
marked tnat way next Tuesday.

WE ARE TO rBE Accommodated
A Special Passenger will Run Daily Be
tween New Ulm and La Crosse.

A streak of good sense seems to have
struck the Northwestern officials last
week for in the new time card which is
to be issued this week, New Ulm gets
accommodations that were entirely
unlocked for. The favor consists in a
special passenger which will run daily,
including Sunday, between La Crosse
and New Ulm, leaving here 1880 each
morning and returning at II o'clock in
the evening, making close connections
with the Omaha trains, so that our citi-
zens can visit St. Paul and return
the same day. Other changes will
perhaps be made in the card but they
will not be Important.
The addition of this train will neces.
state the building of round house
here and also coal sheds. The switch
engine now stationed in the yards will
be kept here permanently and the extra
train crew will stop iu New Ulm oyer
night.
New Ulm people will certainly, ap-
preciate this step on the part of the
company and all the more so because it
came without any formal request. \

FIVE BURIED IN ONE GRAVE.
Sad Funeral Of the Victims Of the Terrible
Fire near Springfield.

The saddest funeral procession ever
held nthis county was that Of John La
hey and five children, who were crema-
ted the morning OF the 21st. The funeral
was held from St. Raphael's Catholic
church Thursday morning. The pro-
cession was half mile in length. and
consisted of about 100 teams and be-
tween 800 and 400 people. The remains
of the five children were enclosed in two
cofdns and buried in one grave; that of
the father, who after horrible suffering,
expired Tuesday, the 22nd, in another
grave.
The horrible fate which befel them
and is supposed to be the work of an
incendiary, has created a feeling of
compassion for the survivors impossible
to describe. 1t would indeed be hard
to picture the woe of the five surviving
relatives, mother. sister and brothers of
the unfortunate children. Mr.. Lahey
was man respected and loved in the
community and had no enemies, and no
motive except robbery can be assigned
for the horrible deed. He had but late
ly sold his farm and had all the money
in his possession at the time, but no
trace of it has been found.
To make the sad affair sadder, dis
patch was received from ST. James on
the day of the funeral that the son, who
had been SO ill, was dead. He leayes a
young wife to mourn his loss. Thus sew.
en- deaths occurred in one family this
week. All that kind nelghbors could
do has been done to sooth the sorrows of
the survivors.

WILL FIGHT FOR COUNCILLORS.
The City Contest Narrows down to a strug-
gle For Aldermen.

Jacobs has declined to run for may
or, Baasen will not accept the nomina-
ton for clerk, Mueller prefers to join
forces with the citizens and non-partis-
ans and the candidates for justices and
constables refuse to deposit the neces-
sarY five dollars for election tickets.
This leaves the Democratic faction who
longed for q party contest in pretty
poor shape and as a last resort they
have determined to throw their whole
strength towards the election of the
candidates for aldermen in the various
wards.
As Mr.. Eckstein declined to run in
the Third ward, the Democrats were at
a loss to make any further selection un-
til Albert Steinhauser volunteered to
make the race against Mr.. REIN. It is
understood that SteinAauser has polit;-

FOUND DEAD IN HIS BED.
Dietrich Boese is Discovered after being
Dead Several days.

+ -
In an uninviting room not over few
feet square and lying on bed with his
eyes closed and his hands clenched,
Dietrich Boese was found last Saturday
afternoon dead and in a state of morti-
fcation. His position showed that he
had gone through the pangs OF terrible
agony and the covering was twisted as
if by man who had struggled to main
tain the breath of life with frantic exer.
ton. His body had already turned to
color of mingled black and green, he
was bloated and across his face were
streaks of blood, that had oozed from
his mouth and nose from internal rup-
ture.
The coroner was telegraphed for as
soon as the body was discovered and
Sunday morning, with Drs. Striekler
and Fritsche to make the examination,
he held an inquest. A jury of six men,
consisting OF Henry Behnke, Armin
Steinhauser, Jos.Schnoberich Jr., John
Kretsch, John Dingler and G. Filzen,
was chosen, and after deliberation came
to the conclusion that he had died a
natural, although peculiar, death. The
house was then searched, but nothing
of value was found, excepting $11 in
money and nothing to show that he had
committed suicide. A bottle, labeled
strychnia, was found in front of the
house, butth doctors agreed that his
death could not have resulted from poi
son. The last time he was seen was
Wednesday morning. Several par
ties visited his place after that,
but always found the door locked
and windows closed. Saturday af-
ternoon, Baptist Kari called at the
house on business and also found
it locked, but he was greeted with such
a sickening stencil that he was tempted
to investigate. In company with John
Schapekahm he did SO and upon break
ing into the building became aware of
the facts as related above.
Boese was a man of about thirty-fve
years. He was leading bachelors life
and to exc out an existence he conduct
ed the old wind mill which is so well
known to all who live in New Ulm. He
had no relatives near by that anyone
knows of, but a scrap of paper found in
his trunk showed that his parents
live in Germany. Bright and pleas
ant in his ways, it is strange that
he should have led such a life, and
his death is only mysterious in that it
occurred unknown to any one and so
unexpectedly as to arouse suspicion.

hands of the Indians, to be turned up
on those that had vainly sought the fort
to be protected by them-has been told.
The anxiety of those in the garrison can
never be pictured.
About o'clock in the evening, Pri-
vate Dunn and one other Of Marsh's S
command returned to the fort with the
report of the disaster that had befallen
them. While it was not unexpected, it
was hard to realize. A few others re-
turned later to confirm the first report.
The small parties Of Indians that were
raiding the settlements, some already
near to the fort, were drawn to the
agency by the movement OF troops
thither. and celebrating their victory
bv dance and song, gave us valuable
time at the fort, which can only be
measured by the hundreds of lives saved
by the delay.
On the departure of Marsh with his
detachment the command ofthe post and
twenty-five men available for duty de-
volyed upon Lieut. Gere a young man
Of less than twenty years, without mill
tarv or frontier experience, The civil
service rule did not obtain IN the elec-
tion of volunteer officers, neither was
the Australian system OF ballotin vogue.
IF it had been, many worthy names
would have been added to the role OF
the LOYAL Legion. The situation would
have appalled, the most experienced
frontier officer possessing thorough
knowledge of Indian characters.
Fortunately the advice and experience
of sergent Jones was available, -Four
brothers named Reike, who lived five
miles northeast of the fort at Mud Lake

the most. and were at work in the bot

ers and sisters, while Victor, with his
OK team and citizens, employed by the
sutler, started hauling water, and by
evening had filed all the barrels that
could be found and placed in the bar
racks and commissary. All the water
used at the post was hauled from
spring at the foot of the river bluff,
nearly half mile distant, and near the
rayine which the Indians went up two
days later to make their attack.
This supply lasted several days and
New Ulm weekly review. [volume] (New Ulm, Minn.) 1878-1892, 1892-03-30

until the people had got their wind and
courage to renew it after the last hard
days fight with the attacking savages.
Dunn report had but confirmed the
worst fears and nearly paralyzed every
body. ALI told there were not to exceed
forty muskets in the foit. One Sharp's
rife bought by j.. W. DeCamp, and
two by the guard for the Indian money,
one double barrel gun, belonging to
Rev. Sweet, and two of my own, were
the only arms. Not one of the refugees
had gun.
The Indians were expected every me-
ment, and as often announced, and
nearly everyone could see them advanc-
ing in force. Such is imagination.
There were enough men to post senti-
nels, mostly within enclosures under
shelter, to guard the salient points. I
visited some of these posts with an Off
Ger and lantern later in the night, and
no one waslsleeping on them; they were
deserted. We followed to where they
had taken shelter in the barracks among
the refugees, and were ordered from
under iron bed steads, to resume their
guns and duties.
It is not to the disparagement of the
men that they were seized with the
panic that had spread like an epidemic
among all the people. Muster in makes
soldiers only in embryo, and wearing
the blue does not make them veterans
or unlike other men.
The night wore away with vigilance
and eyes that had known no sleep were
watching and waiting for the first streak
of morning dawn.
Wednesday morning opened bright
and clear. The Indians that had been
gathered in groups the day before were
no where to be seen.
A rise of ground sixty rods northwest
on the agency road chat backed the tar

their muskets for years, Commanded a

A BIT OF MINNESOTA HISTORY.
The Siege Oft. Ridgely by Infuriated Saw
ages in 1862.
Mai. Randalls Narrative of one Of the most
Thrilling events in Minnesota
History.

The narrative of Mai. Randall re-
garding the attack on Ft. Ridgely IN
1862 concluded in the last issue of the
Review with the report of the outbreak
of the Indians at the Lower Agency on
the 18th of August and the promise of
Capt. Marsh, who was in command of
the fort, to remain and protect the sett-
lers, 1t continues as follows: 1t was a
surprise to the community then, when
about II o'clock, with detachment of
forty-six men on foot, himself and In
terpreter Peter QuinnS mounted on
mules, left the garrison for the scene of
the uprising. Without experience with
Indians, but, no doubt, actuated by the
highest sense of duty, after proceeding
short distance, Quinn and men to
drive, returned, and taking two four
mule trains, ammunition, and rations,
were soon on their way to join the COM
mand.
1t was sorry time for Peter Quinn,
whose loyalty to his oath compelled him
to accompany the detachment and heleft
the suffers store with brimming eyes,
and sachoked ''Good-by,'' mounting his
mule impressed with the fate that eVid-
emily awaited him.
If the captain had been skeptical as
to the report of q formidable uprising,
abundant evidence was furnished before
he had proceeded many miles in the

charred bodies-and dead lying by the
road side. The story of the anbuscade

of the bluffs, for observation, with or
ders to fire and rally upon the fort in
case the Indians were seen advancing.
The ravine was between my house and
the garrison, where my family had TAX
Ell shelter. About - o'clock I was at
the house, with horse and buggy, when
guns were discharged and sentinels

and had been there but short time,
when flames shot up from my dwelling
and the ravine I had just crossed

was obeyed by all not on duty, where

sion of the statue, and when chunks of
lead, from his point of the compass,

sitive ear, it has a depressing effect.
Two of the party were shot in the
head-one dead, the other mortally
wounded. There is great satisfaction,
sometimes, in being able to see and not
be seen. This seemed an occasion when
an exhibition Of personal attraction was
not desirable, and all took post in build
ings, behind fences, or some shelter.
The firing was incessant for a short
time; when it ceased all was quiet. The
howitzers brought to position were
found to have been stuffed with old
clothes by some half breeds belonging
to the Renville Rangers, six of whom
deserted on the first appearance of the
Indians to join their kindred. They
took with them their guns and the news
that $4,000 of their deferred payment
was in the commissary, brought there
on the day of the outbreak by c. u
Wykof, clerk of the Indian Snperinten-
dents J.C. Ramsey and r. "A. G. Hatch.
This furnished an additional incentive
to capture the fort.

WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE
Ives Health will not Permit Him to Ac-
cept a Seat in Congress.

A sigh of relief will now be expert
enced among the various congressional
aspirants over the announcement that
G. S. Ives, the able and popular presld-
ing officer of the senate, will not be
candidate to mar their chances or rem
der his oWD selection sure. This an.
nouncement was made through the st.
Peter Herald, published at MIR. Ives
home, and is as follows:
''For several weeks past there has
been q great deal of speculation as to
whether G. S. Ives, of this city would
or would not be candidate for the re-
publican nomination for congresss in
this district, From all parts of the dis.
trict have come strong demands for his
nomination, and from the apparent un-
aminity Of the republican press of the
second district, it has appeared that
MI: Ives was not only the strongest
man available, but that all that was
needed to secure the nomination
was to raise his voice and say he would
accept it. 1t will therefore be a source
OF regret among his friends and admir-
ers, in the district, and annequal source
of JOY to. the other candidates to know
that Mr.. Ives is not candidate for the
nomination, and further thathe will not
permit his name to be used in that con
nection. He so informed Herald re-
porter yesterday. His principal reason
as given is his health. It is assumed
however, although no expression could
be secured from him, that the chief rea-
son is the prominence his name has a
chieved as one of the gubernatorial pos.
sibilities. Developments are expected
LATER
Ever since the publication of the
above, the papers here placed Mr.. Ives
in the field as an active contestant for
the gubernatorial nomination, but thus
farthe lieutenant governor has remained
discreetly quiet. He has said nothing
to anyone to indicate the object Of his
ambitions.

THIS SETTLES IT FOR GROVER
Brown County Democrats are not Swal-
lowed up by the Tammany Tiger.

The Democratic convention held at
Springfield on Saturday was not large
ly attended, but what there was of it
was for Grover CleYeland for president.
The delegates from New Ulm, Sleepy
Eye, Springfield and one or TWO country
towns occupied seats in the convention
hall and business was transacted with
dispatch, E. e. Pahi acting as
chairman and Geo. Grimm as secretary
Before any delegates were chosen, ,reso
lutions were adopted indorsing Mr..
Cleveland and instructing the Brown
county representatives at st, Paul to
vote for delegates Chicago who would
also be favorable to the arch enemy OF
David B. Hill. The latter gentleman
by the way, distinguished Democrat
that he is, was entirely ignored anu not
once during the convention was his
name even mentioned. From this, of
course, it would look as if the man who
never knew political defeat and who has
been several times governor of New
York, and is now United States Sena-
tor, dictator to the Speaker of the house
and general boss, was about to be con-
signed to the shadows of a close-itting
and well-sodded political grave.
The delegates to St. Paul are as fol-
lows: M. Mullen, 3. G. PAIL, ,F. Baasen
A. A. Bogen, E. P. Bertrand and John
B. Schmid.

accompanied by request for publica-
tion, from ]. Runk of North Star, this
