THAT REDWOOD EXTENSION.
The Gazette Discusses the Possibility Of
the Line to Marshall.
1t Fears that it is Only Bluff to Keep the
NJ. & ST. L. out of New Ulm.

..Beforc another year passes away the
Chicago Il Northwestern road will have
been extended from Redwood Falls to
Marshall and the line through Redwood
Falls will be the trunk line from Chica-
20 to Watcrtown and west through South
Dakota,
That was the important announcement
made w officials of the Chicago & North
wc>tcl. railroad at an important meet
inc hc!d IA II private car of the compa-
nv hctwrru here and Winona on Tues
day or Wednesday, Of last week.
With that announcement came the re-
port, fairly we'll verified, that Redwood
Fails, just about 100 miles from Waseca
and 200 miles from Winona, would be
made passenger and freight division Of
the Northwestern railroad.
A surveying party was ordered dis
patched to Redwood and to be here yes
terday Wednesday, the purpose of which
is to Immediately run line from the
present terminus of the road in this city
west to Marshall, probably keeping the
north side of the river So far as possible.
Some ten or fifteen years ago, just when
the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad was
running its survey through Redwood
ockI
western had a bluff surveying party rum
ming line parallel to that company's sur
vev. The Northwestern has profile of
that survey but the same will be aban-
doned for the new line to be run very
close to the river, whether on the north
or south side of the same.
The cause of this sudden action seems
to be the construction by the Minneapo.
lis & st. Louis railroad of its ine from
Winthrop. to New Ulm. By so doing
the St. Louis system will capture great
deal of business which is now gong
over the Northwestern system. As a re-
suit the high officials concluded to build
the line from Redwood Falls to Marshall
and get the business between those two
towns, which is now gong to Delhi, Bel
view, Echo, Wood Lake and so on up to
the South Dakota line. In a measure it
is retaliatory. The Northwestern claims
that the St. Louis has cutit territory at
New Ulm and it is only fair that1tshould
oct its business back by cutting the
st. Louis between here, and Mar
shall. 1t will really cut off all the trade
south of the Redwood river now going
to the ST. Louis towns. ~. 49,.
The st. Louis people expect to get in
to New Ulm this fall yet. If the North.
western carries out its business PROPOSE.
ton the road between here and Marshall
may be constructed this fall, also, al
though there is greater probability that
1t will not be built until next spring,

The Gazette speaks on the highest au-
thority in regard to the above and it al
SO speaks on good authority when it says
that the division for freight and passen-
gers will be located here during the next
year or two. It is we'll known that the
Northwestern road has kindly feeling
towards this city and the location Of the
division will only be public expression
of that feeling. H. G. Garvip, general
agent of the Wlnona s. st. Peter system,
was in the city ON Thursday morning
last, and conservative as ne is, he could
not refrain from speaking in an enthusi-
astic manner over the brilliant future of
this city. "
The extension of the Cannon Valley
system west from Mankato along the
Minnesota river to connect with the
st. Louis road in this city is not among
the improbablities. The Gazette has it
from prominent Mankato man, who is
an intimate friend of Col. Crooks, chief
engineer of the St. Louis system, that
the road will certainly be built although
1t may be two years before the present
intentions are carried out. This will
give the St. Louis people good Chicago
outlet for its western business, which
now has to go around by Minneapolis
and st. Paul, and will consequently be
a great thing for its western patrons.
The Cannon Valley will touch at New
Ulm but will otherwise open new towns
along the Minnesota river. Redwood

Charged With the Murder Of Policeman
Winkelmann on the Night Of July 3rd.
The Arrest is Made at Lamberton on War
rant Issued BY Justice Bran It.
When Lodged in Jail, the Prisoner Breaks
Down and Cries Like a Child.
The Preliminary Hearing Postponed to
Thursday, Nov. Z.
About Thirty Witnesses Have Been Sum
moned to Appear at that time.

| The citizens of New Ulm were startled
last Thursday to learn that DR.. August
Koehne, a veterinarian who is we'll kncwn
in all this region, had been arrested upon
warrant issued by Justice Brandt,
charging him with the murder of Police
man Albert Winkelmann on the night of
July 3rd, last. " ...~.
The warrant was issued at the instance
Of the county attorney and upon the
complaint of VIM. Winkelmann,f father of
the murdered man, who came here short
ly after the murder from Helena, Mon
taxa, and has spent the greater portion of
his time since then in looking up the
case.
twill be remembered that AlbeltsWin-
lkelmann was shot in dark and lonely
part'of the city on the night mentioned
and that his body was not found until
the next morning. There was every evil
dence that some one had laid in wait for
him, knowing his beat, and the tramp
theory did not gain credence. People
naturally looked to other quarters for
the source of the crime, and there were
many rumors duplicating Koehne, as he
was known to have been an enemy of the
policeman and is alleged to have made
threats against him, even on the night
of the murder The fact that even on
the very next day he left town with his
family, pawning revolver before he
left, added to the prevailing suspicion,
and the authorities were strongly Tempt
ed to make the arrest at the time. They
concluded to wait, however, and. keep
him under surveillance. This was evil
IDENTIFY done with some success, for on
"Wednesday County Attorney Davis ad-
vised Mr.. Winkelmann to have the war
rant issued and he did so Immediately.
It was placed IN the hands of Sheriff An
dersoD, who took the night tram for
Lamberton and made the arrest that very
night.
A hearing was to have been given the
prisoner on Thursday but he asked for
time to secure witnesses AID an attorney.
This was granted him and Monday was
fixed as the day for the examination.
When taken to Jail Koehne broke
down and she'd tears. He insists on his in
nocence, of course, but finds it a difficult
matter to keep up courage.
On Monday gcod-sized audience col
lected at the old court house to hear the
examination, but were disappointed when
Attorney Baasen,in behalf of the defend
ant, asked :or stay Of ten days and it
was granted. He alleged that there
were number of witnesses that could
not be reached before that time. The
hearing was accordingly postponed TO
Thursday, Nov. 7. a..
| Koehne is we'll known character in
these parts, having acted as veterinary
surgeon for a number Of years.
He claims 10 have been an alderman
in Chicago at one time, and also says
that he is a son of the noted Low Ger

Thought Alton Sold Whiskey.

The Minneapolis Journal tells the fol-
lowing story on Prof. Geo. B. Alton, who

Geo. B. Alton, of Minneapolis, whose
work as state high school inspector keeps
him on the road good part Of the time,
occasionally runs across funny expert

late to his friends, even though the laugh
is on himself. To those Who know Mr..
Alton, the point of a recent incident in
the western part of the state will be read
lily apparent, but for those who are not
familiar with his face and figure it may
be necessary to state that the former is
full and rud;ly and that the latter is Of
generous girth. Mr.. Alton was waiting
for his tram on the lonely, windswept
platform of small country station. The
solitude of the place seemed to impress

tidavits>trom other people in his neigh

it was the custom of the club to begin
work at p. N. and never let up until
midnight; that during that time there
was one long thunder of wooden balls
across the floor, mingled with the crash
of falling pins and the yells and cheers
and laughter and pounding of beer glas-
ses that are a part of the game. The
Judge said that he would think about the
case six or seven weeks, by which time
the weather would be cold enough to
necessitate the closing of the clubs win

in his opinion, bowling was no nuisance
because it interested good many peo-

versary celebration of the battle Of Sc
dan. This deno onstration, Mr. Roesch
says, was beyond description. Forty
thousand soldiers partici pated IN the pa
race and the illumina ations were simply
marvellous. An interesting feature was
the appearance in the parade of 100 vet
Grams of the battle who had come owe,
expressly from America and who. car
rled at their head the stars and stripes.
Speaking of the soldiers of Germany, he
says they easily excel the military pride
OF all other nations, both as to military
bearing and physical development.
Regarding the condition Of the gener-
al class Of peoplein Europe he said that
1T was fair. While the laborers do not
earn much, it does not cost them much
to live and they seem to be better salts
tied with their lot than the corresnond-
ing class IN America. They are best situ-
ated IN France, but in Switzerland tbev
are the happiest. There they depend al.
most exclusively on tourists for a living.
and go through the world from hand to
mouth, but contented and apparently at
ease. In Italy they are much more. re-
hned and deserving than the representa-
tives which we see in this country. Po-
l1t1cally, he says, the masses in Ger
many are satisfied with their present
ruler and form of government, and there
does not. appear any danger of a change.
The railroads, ht, noticed, afford better
Accommodations and safer travel than thew
do In this country and the tourist is fu,-
nlshed with every safeguard as well as
with lower rates ,than in. America. He
attributes this to government ownership.
Speaking of scenery he does not think
there is another country that: compares
with Switzerland, although the scenery
on the Rhine is grand and interesting.
AS to cities, Berlin, Vienna and Paris
have the preference.
They spent week in the latter place
and week in London just before return

Fin toller Einfall."

The comedy by the above name was
presented at Turner Hall Sunday eve
ming and the customary large audience
| was there to listen to it.
The play is one that is filled with en-
tangling circumstances and errors, that
| furnish material for constant sallies of
wit, and the author has not failei to take
advantage of them. Consequently there
is cause for laughter from beginning to
end
The play opens with the determination
Of the jealous Steinkopf to take trip
with his wife and daughter and leave his
house in Berlin in charge of his nephew,
Ernst. Ernst is induced soon after by
an odd genius by the name of Birnstiel
to rent out the rooms to boarders. The
first to appear in quest of rooms is per-
vous musical director, and then follow in
quick succession an opera singer, an i'm
| portant looking, but worthless, fellow by
the name Of Knoepher, an henpecked
husband, named Bender, his jealous and
| shrewish wife and their beautiful daugh-
| ter, Eva. It doesn't take long before the
musical director is driven out of his wits
| by the noise Of his neighbor roomers and
his condition is really q pitiable one un-
til he is finally rendered happy by hav-
ing his ears stopped up with an anti
| phone. Bender then becomes enamoured
cf the charming opera singer, while Ernst
fails in love with Eva. his starts rrou-
bic and difficulty in all quarters, and it is
only increased when Ernst receives word
that his aunt is to arrive home the next
day. She arrives before he gets rid of
the roomers and then Steinkopf sudden
ly turns up and matters become more
and more complicated as Ernst and his
friends try to unravel tEem. A complete
confession alone brings peace.
This IS the plot and it gains in interest
as the play progresses.
W. E. Koch portrayed Steinkopf, Miss
Ella Setter his wife, Miss Hummel his
daughter, Hugo Fischer his nephew and
Franz Sietzel the Notwithstanding Biern-
stiel. A. J. Alvin enacted the nervous
musical director, Steinhauser the way
ward and henpeckeG Bender, Mrs. Belm
the jealous wife, Meta Setter the daush-
ter, and Annie Neumann the charming
singer. Fred Setter took the role of
Knoepfer and Henry Herian, Robert
Scherer, Robert Brandt and the Misses
Ida and Hedwig Setter roles of minor
