TWAS A HOT OLD BLAZE.
That Occasloned bv the Burning Of the
Van Dusen Elevator.

Last Wednesday afternoon the Van
Dusen elevator, located near the Empire
Mill, was completely destroyed by tire
No one knows how the fire originated, but
when first seen 1t was breaking through
the roof. The alarm was 1T once turned
in, but before the department could
reach the scene OF confagration the
flames had extended to every part of
the big building and rendered futile ev-
ery effort to save it. In little while,
the structure was one great mass OF hre
and the heat so intense that people
could hardly bear to stand within three
hundred feet of the burning building.
All efforts of the fire department were
accordingly turned to saving Nagel's
residence and the Fullerton lumber
wards and sheds. TO do this, in the aw-
full heat that surrounded the place, re-
nuired heroic effort, and the members
of the department are certainly entitled
to the strongest praise. Any negligence
on their part would surely have resulted
in the destruction of the places men
toned. The Empire Mill was also con-
stantly in danger, but was saved through
the constant attention of the millers.
The loss cccasioned by the burning of
the elevator probably amounted to 81,
600 or $1,000, and this was undoubted-
" covered by insurance. The building
contained no grain at the time of the tire
and for sometime prior had been used
only as pumping station. ~
During the blaze strong wind was
blowing. AS result, fires were started
in several buildings, including Leary's,
Meyers and Keller's, but all of these
,were promptly extinguished through the
watcbfulness of the department.

REVELLING IN WEALTH.
The Assessors Report Presents Figures Of
Startling Character.

Assessor Graft has turned over bis com.
plete reports to the county auditor and
therein we find that New Ulm citizens
are taxed for ooly $279,466 worth OF
personal property.
Consulting it more closely we find
that the wagons. carriages and othe,
vehicles of the city foot up on the rolls
to only $5,674. This includes the
hundreds of bicycles, and it is but fair
to conclude that our people have had an
eye alert at all times for bargain days.
Of sewing and knitting machines there
is great number, but In value they
come to less than $3,OOO-$2,sOO to be
exact. E.@..-
Almost everybody in New Ulm plides
himself on being the owner of clock
or a watch of some sort, usually gold
one, but the whole raft of them foots up
only $1,o13.
Then there's the matter of organs, on
ly 81 ,220; and pianos, only $500. Still,
it wouldn't be going far out of the way
to say that the homes of New Ulm har-
bor over hundred pianos alone.
But that isn't the most surprising fea.
ture of the report by any means. A
dress occasion in this city usually turns
out good many jewels and ornaments
that are supposed to be diamonds, but
bunchlng them all together-diamonds,
rings, necklaces, eardrops. shirt studs
and brooches $40 on the assessors rolls
covers the whole business. Not SO with
gold and silver plated ware, however.
10 cover this article of earthly possess
ions requires the collosal and astounding
sum of $165 enough to fit out a me-
tropolitan jewelry store.
When it comes to the palmer articles
o. common use, there is evidence of q
little more willingness to tell the truth.
The merchandise of the city for in
stance, amount to $54,6s5, the house
hold and Office furniture is listed
at $56,467, the manufacturers goods
and manufactured material at 500, 80,
manufacturers tools and implements at
$50, ,110 and saloon stock and fixtures at
$4,000.
For real honesty as taxpayers, how
ever, the dogs are to be commended.
They swell the assessment valuation to
the extent Of 1921.
OF money there is an abundance, you
might say. The credits Of banks, ban
kers, brokers and stock jobbers foot up

Honors Go | o
Company a.
The New Ulm Boys Aoqnit Themselves
with Credit at the Lake City
Camp.
Special Praise Given Them by Col. Bob
leter and Inspector Mccoy.

Company A is once more the banner
company of the Second Regiment. AS
soon as the boys got to camp, they set
tied down to hard work and, in spite of
the intense heat, stuck to it. When the
camp closed on Saturday the laurels
were theirs and the praises of all the
commanding officers.
On inspection of quarters and mess
the company showed up with a percent
age of 96.53, nine per cent better than
that of any other company in the regi-
ment. ~. + .-..- ..-#
Col. Bobleter was delighted with the
showing made and requested the COM
pany, under Capt. Steinhauser to give an
exhibition drill on Thursday.
Inspector General Mccoy admitted
frankly that the company was the best
in the regiment and added that their
quarters were perfect. -.... -.
The following are a few interesting
notes of the weeks events at camp:
The company made the trip from New
Ulm, via Owatonna, in six hours.
The quarters were in charge of Corp
oral Scheiderich and to him is due much
of the credit for their admirable appear
ance. 10y" -.
DR.. Haas, a member Of C:nrany A.,
now living at St. Paul, was ;;ss, s,;,ned to
duty as hospital steward of the regi-
ment, but sickness prevented him from
attending to his duties except for one
day.
Private Chas. Anderson was attached
to the hospital corps and acquired the
title of ''Dr." Anderson. III.
The Governors staff came into camp
on train to which was attached an ad.
vertising car, announcing in flaming let
ters the "greatest show on EARTH"
Col. Bobleter offered medal on Sat-
urday for the best company team in tar
get shooting. Company A did not enter
on account of the rain, and as result
the medal went to Co. I of Albert Lea.
Commisary Sergeant Vogel was pro-
noted tc be Sergeant Major of the Sec
ond Battalion.
1t. Buschers was in command of Com
pany G of Austin for two days. The
company came into camp without a
commissioned officer. ~,...:.. :-
Much of the creditable work of the
New Ulm guards is attributed to the
untiring efforts 0: 1st Sergeant Fritsche.
Among the men who did orderly duty
at the Colcnel's headquarters were Rich

Corporals Joern and Bentzin had the
honor of doing similar work at the
headquarters of the Brigadier General.
The kitchen was in charge of Emil

tant. Tony Simmet, Johnny Nenno and
Johnny Eichmann attended to the wants

the company qualified as marksmen.

WARM OVER TIE YOUNGERS
The Village Of Madelia Manlfesting Con-
siderable Interest in Their Fate.

The citizens, of Madelia were the ones
who were chiefly instrumental in the
capture of the notorious Younger BROTH
ers at the time of the Mortified robbery.
Today the little village is all worked
up over the effort to secure their pardon.
On Wednesday a general fight was
precipitated by the circulation of re-
monstrance against the granting Of the
pardon. This Immediately called forth
q counter petition, praying that the par
don be granted. Both were freely cir
culated and both quite generally signed,
each securing about an equal number Of
names. The people are quite equally
divided on the question and their divis-.
ion extends in about the same propor-
tion to all classes. The petition for par.
don, however, contains a majority of the
names Of the professional and busines
men OF the town. In considering the
personnel Of signers. one fact worthy OF
note Is that the three surviving members
OF the historic seven who. were the i'm
mediate captors Of these prisoners are
unanimously in favor Of their pardon
and have all signed the petition praying.
for the same. This fact has considerable
influence, as all three are men whose
character and honor are above reproach.

One of the bills which was passed bv

Mrs. Joseph Kelley, a comeIy mat
ron of about thirty-fve years, entered
the office of District Court Clerk Rog-
ers yesterday afternoon and asked
Deputy Fitzgerald if he would permit
her to look through the marriage rec
ord. He handed her the large book
and seating herself at a desk she pour
ed over the contents for nearly half an
hour. Then she heaved a sigh of dis
appointment and left the office without
giving any explanation of the object
of her visit. She remained closely veil
ed all the while she was at the court
house, but this did not conceal her agi-
tation.
In the corridor of the building she
told her troubles to a G To b e reporter.
She said that she resided in North
Minneapolis and was a grass widow
Her husband had deserted her last
January, and recently she had learned
things which almost convinced her that
he was not only a deserter but a big
amist. Before her husband left her
she said, he was a clerk in a railroad
Office in Minneapolis. He went to Du-
luth after desertihg her, where he re-
manned until about five weeks ago
when he returned to Minneapolis, and
shortly afterwards she claims to have
learned that he secretly married a ST.
Paul young woman, whose home is on
Rice street, but who is employed in a
Minneapolis factory.
When this alleged marriage came to
her notice, she said that she began to
learn the truth, but thus far she had
heeO ma hln tO do 60 She oart il,
that Kelley had not been divorced from
her, and she first went to the records
of Hennepin county to see if there was
any record of his alleged second mar
riage there. She found none, and then
she came to st. Paul to prosecute her
search, and that was why she called
at Clerk Rogers office. She could find
nothing there to indicate a marriag e,
but that had not convinced her that
her truant husband was not married
again.
Mrs. Kelley said that she intended
to learn the truth about the affair, and
for that purpose she intended to visit
the home of the young lady whom she
suspects is her husbands alleged IL
legal wife. She said that she was mar
ried to Kelley in Hudson, Wis, about
| two years ago and that their domestic
| troubles dated almost from the day Of
| the wedding. She has no children.

which crime he was under a five years

is a striking resemblance between the

Thomas Nolan and the photograph and
description of Noonan, but he cannot
say positively that the prisoner is the
right man. The Crookston suspect

MIR. ElmEnd's Demurrer Is Over

County Treasurer Elmund's demurrer

City of West St. Paul from the action
of the assignee of the insolvent West
Side Savings bank in allowing the claim
of Ramsey county in the sum Of SLOTS
SIS on account of personal taxes upon

City Of West St Paul has claim of

III its appeal, that the county is not a
preferred creditor. On this ground it
seeks to retire the county to an ordi-
nary place among the list of creditors.
