New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1894-01-31
MYSTERIOUS THIEVES.
One of them Lodged in the New Ulm Jail

Under a special order from Judge
Webber, one U. S. Grant was brought
down from Redwood Falls by Sheriff
Blethen and lodged in the local Jail to
await hearing before Judge French, Of
the Redwood municipal court. Two
others, evidently his partners in theft,
were taken to St. Peter, while fouth
is out on bail. U. s. Grant was at first
released on bail, but his leaving for New
Ulm to attend the Madigan trial aroused
the suspicious of his bondsmen and the
Sheriff was ordered to once more take
him into custody.
The crime for which these men stand
accused is that of stealing. Their thefts
date back to the early part of the fall
and include the taking of wheat from
farmers in Renville county, potatoes
from farms in Redwood county, farm
machinery, harness and saddles, turkeys,
chickens and other articles of more or less
Importance. In their eseapades they al
ways eluded apprehension, and it was
not until one of the gang let fall clew
in conversation with an acquaintance
while on the way to the cities, that otfic-
ers were putlonto their tracks and enabled
to place tie four in the keeping of the
Sheriff.
1t has recently developed that the gang
have also been guilty Of sowing several
acres of wild mustard on the farm of J.
H. Bowers.
The St. Paul Daily News of January
26th contained the following of interest
to Brown county readers and particular
Il to holders of New York Life Insur-
ance policies: Several days ago The
Daily News received a. communication,
which was published at the time, from
John Tori of Springfield, Minn., asking
for the probable value of his policy in
the New York Life at date of maturity
in 1898. In reply to Mr.. Tori we inform
him that his policy being for 81, 500 on
the fifteen year endowment plan he is
likely to realize about 81 800 or less than
a per cent investment, whereas the
company probably estimated to him at
the time he took the policy, that it
would amount to over $2,1OO or per
cent investment. Considering that Mr.
Tori must pay to the company at least
$1,559.5O besides taking the risk Of the
company being wrecked before 1898,
$1,000 is a,small equivalent for fifteen
years faithfullness in paying $1,55S.5O.
However The Daily News will congratu-
late MIR. Tori if he is fortunate enough
tc receive $1,S00 of which $l,5OO is the
lawful guarantee, the policy being an
endowment.
1gnatius Donnelly has once more at
tracted the attention of the sarcastic
editor of the New York Sun and in an
editorial printed on the Goth we find the
following:
"It would be unjust to American elo-
quence and Ignatius Donnelly, sage OF
Nininger, not to record this, his most
affecting uuterance: This alliance may
desert me; the Peoples party may de-
sert me; but there is no power on this
earth, less than God himself, that can
shake me from my pedestal.f everything
else should fail me, I am still Ignatius
Donnelly.' Donnelly shows noble con-
fdence in the firmness of his
attachment to his pedestal; but
how can he he so certain that he is
Ignatius Donnelly? We are prepared to
prove by Donnelly's own unrivaled KEY
neutrality-suspicious. that,just as sure
ly as Bacon was Shakespeare, just so
surely Ig Donnelly is Doc. Fish. The
sage may know who, and yet not know
who he isl
