WORTH TEN MILLIONS.
Short Sketches of the Life of the
Wealthy Brewer.


Special to the Globe
MILWAUKEE. May 20.-When Valen-
tine Blatz.came to Milwaukee in 1851 as
a lOwly Bayarian brewer with a cash
capital of $500, he did not expect to die
worth Sl0,000,000. which is the value
put upon his Milwaukee properties by
conservative estimate. The great concern
now known as the Blatz brewery, occu-
pying nearly two squar es OH either side
of Juneau avenue on Broadway, was
established in 1S45 by John Brown, and
until Blatz purchased it used to pro-
duce as much as dozen barrels of beer
daily. Blatz seized the venture in a
plucky spirit and determined to
build up big business. He
originated the bottling and export
ing business in Milwaukee, and
thereby first. gave the city its name as a
beer town. Ghe trade grew until it
surpassed that of any other rival. but
about ten years ago the Schltz and
Pabst concerns had extended their ram
ifications until their annual product
exceeded that of the BlatZ company,
though in 1898 the output of the Blatz
brewery was $4,000 barrels. Mr..
Blatz. during the years that he
successfully operated the big brewery,
amassed so much wealth that he lent
ready ear to the proposition of the
British capitalists who came here in the
summer OF 1891. After vain attempts
had been made to get Capt. Pabst
and the UiehIens interested in
the syndicate, on Nov. 80. 1891,
the brewery was transferred to the
Milwaukee Il Chicago Breweries dim
lted) nominally capitalized for sl0,0OO,-
600. Mr.. Blatz thereafter ceased to take
an active interest in the business,
though he held stock in the syn
dicate, the brewery management being
left to two sons, Valentine e. and
Albert c. Blatz. Mr.. Blatz, while he
has always been respected, never fig
ured much in public life. and held only
one office, that of alderman. He lived
in conservative German fashion in a
mansion on Van Buren street, but was
otherwise quite democratic in his ways.
Mr.. Blatz was born Oct. /, 1928, at Nit
tenberg-On-the-M Main. Bavaria.

me Twin City GastrOnOmiC Club
Enjoys Dinner.
Last night there occurred at the Hotel
Metropolitan the inaugural banquet OF

particularly marked by the absence of
aud defense stated that no sensations
are to be brought out. nothing beyond
the mere facts as already male public
through the former trial. Interest GEN.
tiers now on the proceedings to be, had
in the United States circuit court on
Monday morning, and the entire court
will attend the hearing of the applica-
tion for the writ of prohibition. AS a
consequence, when court adjourned
yesterday evening. it did so until Tues.
day morning. "I-
The greater part of the morning ses-
sion was taken up with the reading of
Private Johnson's testimony as given
the day before. He added nothing new
or of interest to the case.
Lieut.. Newgarden, the assistant sur
geon OF Fort Sheridan was the next
witness called. He had been called
from his quarters ON the information
that man had been shot near the sta.
bles. and hastened there. He found
Capt. Hedberg lying on the ground, his
clothing was open and disarranged ami
q WOuuo was SlolOlC III lIC lSlt StOlls
He sent for the ambulance and hospital
corps. after having first applied a tenn
porary bandage to stop the flow of
blood. He had examined the clothing
of the deceased, and found that the
bullet had entered at the lett side of the
overcoat, and, passing through the body
without striking any obstructlons. had
come out at the right coat tail of the
overcoat. Mr.. Blair asked witness
where the ball would have likely passed
out had the coat been hanging in its
natural position.
As Surgeon Newgarden is needed at
his post, permission was given the de-
fense to make him their witness at this
time. The overcoat was brought in and
an orderly asked to put it on. Witness
stated that he had taken a 3S-caliber
revolver from the pockets of Capt. He'd
berg, and turned it over to the hospital
steward. When the orderly had put on
the coat he was asked to put his hand
to the hip pocket as if attempting to
draw a pistol, and in so doing the place
where the ball had passed out came in
direct line with the place of entry. No
objections were interposed by the prose-
cution to this proceeding, and the i'm
preston was at once conveyed that the
deceased was in the act of drawing a
weapon when the fatal shot was fred.
Witness stated that Hedberg was a
man of splendid physique and great
vitality, and much a superior man to the
defendant.
Private William Edwards, trumpet
er, who was also present when the
tragedy took place, was called as a wit
ness. His testimony was practically the
same as that of the other soldiers who
testified the day before. He was posi-
tive that but few seconds intervened
from the time that Capt. Hedberg
dropped his hand to his side until the
fatal shot was fired.
Mr.. Blair was asked how many wit
nesses he had to bring before the court.
and stated that there were but three and
the defendant himself. 1t is probable,
therefore, that all OF the evidence will
be before the court by the beginning of
next week.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 26.-The Cam

Telegraph, under date of April 25, says:
An epidemic which has already
wrought considerable havoc in the
different parts OF the city claimed
its first victim about a fortnight ago,
and since then has carried off thou.
sands Of natives. The. symptoms of
this disease are somewhat similar to
those observed in patients who sue
cumbed to the ravages OF a plague
that decimated the population of
Hocow ten years ago. The
first indication is high fever, speedily
followed by an enlargement of the
glands situated in the region of the arm
pits and groin. Death usualey ensues
about twenty-fonr hours after the first
symptoms have developed. The cause
of the malady is undoubtedly foul
water and bad drainage.
