New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1896-03-11

On Monday Werner Boesch who vas
one of the artill erists at III. Rilgely dur-
ing the siege By Little Grow, received
from Secretary Holcomb Of the s.. Ridge
II monument commission two bullets
fired by Indians, two that we're apparent
|ly discharged by the boys Of CoMpan
B and q fragment Of z shell, which was
evidently fred BY Mr.. Boeseh from q
mountain howitzer. The latter relic IS
Of particular interest and there can hard
II be any doubt as to its having been
sent on its destructive errand by our own
veteran townsmen. The following let
ter from Mr.. Holcomb substantiates this
assertion In August, 1895, while en-
gagged in surveying the site Of 1t. Ridge
II under the direction Of County Survey
or A. ]. Anderson Of Nicollet county,
found a piece of bombshell on the sur.
face Of the ground a few yards from the
rayine northeast Of DIT. Ridgely and.
northeast of the snortheast corner of the
old fort. There we're present on this oc-
casion Mess1s. Anderson, Hopkins, Smith
and two or three others whose names I
do not now recall. It was the unani-
nous opinion Of all present that this
piece Of iron bombshell had been fired
from the howitzer served by ]. G. Whip
! pie and Werner Boesch during the as
sault upon Fl. Ridgely by the Sioux In
dams in August, 1862, and it is there
fore presented by me to Mr.. Boesch, the
artillerist aforesaid. The Historical So
ciety made an effort to secure the relic,
but Holcomb was OF the opinion that it
should go to the only man now living
who was instrumental in making it the
relic that it is. Mr.. Boesch naturally
prizes it highly, and well he may, after
the lapse Of nearly forty years, for it was
a few such shells that had much to do in
/ putting a damper on the awful outbreak.
