New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1893-04-26

CralllnS arDutuS, the JeSSamlne and the
columbine clambering up its outside
walls making the air redolent with thei,
sweet perfume and with, the sunlight
falling in soft, checkered shadows on the
velvety carpet or bathing with mellow
light the golden ringlets of an aesthetic
Thurber? Thurber stayed IN confinement
three months or more; no one will blame
him for wanting freedom. Is there a
Jail in the state of Minnesota or in the
United States that the Gazette man
would not stand in greatest horror Of if
he saw three months of confinement in
it for him? A jail is place of confine-
ment-not parlor, not Utopia, not
an Elysium of rest, but plain Jail, with
out establishment, without conservatory,
lavatory, drawing room or musical de-
partment. One of the prisoners who
has served two months in companionship
with Thurber was asked Friday about
the red-hot lie which the Gazette got off
about the butter business and he said,
"There has not been meal eaten bv us
when we did not return the butter dish
with butter left on it at the close of the
meal" He further said, "Thurber was
the most quarrelsome man in Jail; he
was unruly and wanted to run all of us ;
he wouldn't obey orders, would bully us
around, squirt tobacco juice all over the
stove and walls, scatter strips OF paper
all ever regardless OF the kind remon-
strances of the sheriff and said often
times, 81 will get even with that damned
Swede if ever get out" This species
of man, then, is the one the censor at
the Falls falls in with, when like bird
of evil omen he casts his sinister count
enance Brown county-wards and shifts
around the cess-pools of our county-iail
for news. He might as we'll call up the
manager of the circulation department
of newspaper and ask for his opinion
Oh that much emulated man whose sur
name was Ananias; or rather, if it were
possible, call up denizen of hell and ask
him for an opinion on the successful qua
lifications of Satan as leader in prayer
meetings. 74s@y~s:, -e.>-- q
Thurber's fine physical appearance does
not bear out the cowardly attack on the
jail management made by the Gazette
Had he advanced an emaciated front
athwart the threshold of that office and
with a cadaverous look cast momen-
tary CLEAN of sunlight into the dyspcp-
tic surroundings Of that place; and had
the editor, after an affectionate and Gus
tomary greeting of ''HelloCal, old boy"
learned that said attenuatcd look was
the result of long dallying with bread
anG water diet at the hands of Sheriff
Anderson, then we would not so much
wonder at the alacrity with which he,
in the present instance, springs to cham
pion the cause of his pet and protege,
Calvin Thurber. Editor Schmahl has
implicitly insulted every taxpaying, in
telligent citizen of Brown County, he has
thrust indecent contempt upon our every
grand jury, our county commissioners
and has wantonly maltreated as good a
sheriff as is to be found in the State. Hi:
