President Carpenter Writes Letter Set
ting Forth Present and Future
Plans.

The editor of the St. James Journal
has received from President Carpenter
of Des Moines letter, which throws
some light on railroad matters of inter-
est to the people of New Ulm. In this
letter Mr.. Carpenter says:
You are correct as to our having con-
tracted to build 500 miles of railway in
Iowa and Minnesota to connect with the
Gulf Railway systems and the Mime
apolis s. St. Louis and Northern Pacific
railways. When the jackson Southern
became identified in 1895 with the Gulf
& Manitoba interests, we made arrange
ments for an extension north and a
branch northeast to make short line
from Minneapolis southwest toward Sioux
City and Omaha, shorter than the Chica-
60, St. Paul, Minneapolis s. Omaha line.
Jackson was anxious that the branch
should start just north of their town and
meet the proposed New Ulm extension
of the M. s. St. L. 70 do this We could
pass through St. James and your county
nearly from corner to corner and open
up new channel or artery of trade.
We are not working up Minnesota
yet, as we desire to get the Iowa and
Missouri lines we'll under way. In Iowa
we are getting many pledges to vote and
make up the AID We require.
The letter is accompanied by circu-
lar covering the agreement between the
Gulf & Manitoba and jackson Southern
Company to build FRO n the Missouri
line near Enod to Brainerd in Minnesota

A HOT TIME IN CAMBRIA
Several Young Men Get into A Quarrel
in Which Pistols are Used.

According to the Mankato Review, a
row occurred at the home of the Wagon
er boys in Cambria recently, which might
have resulted seriously; and all because
they would not invite lot of fellows
to join them at supper. Joe Wagoner's
story is to the effect that the Walters
boys and Walter Reese stopped at their
place on the way home from Ccurtland.
They had been drinking and were in
clined to he 9uarrelscme.
Wagner boys if he could eat supper
with them. To this the brothers offered
no objection. At the same time the
Wagoners invited John Walters, son of
Dave, to partake of their hospitality.
This caused John, of the house of Steve,
to get angry because the Wagoners
sighted his brothers. Tom Walters did
not wait until an invitation was extend
ed. He was bound to eat, invitation or
no invitation. This did not receive the
sanction of Joe Wagner, who took Tom
by the shoulder and was hustling the
young fellow out of the house. John
Walters, scion of Steve, did not like this
treatment of his brother, and proceeded
to dance around like Sioux Indian.
Grabbing saucer he let it fly in the di-
rection of Joe Wagner. The missile
struck the latter, but did not nurt him.
Then John reached for revolver and
told Wagner to ssclear cut or he would
kill him. Joe took to the tall timber
as fast as his legs would carry him.
Walters followed ard shotat the fleeing
man twice. Wagner got into the woods
north of his house and Walters prowled
around trying to locate him. Failing
in this he retreated and, gathering about
him his brothers and his cousin, pro-
ceeded homeward.
The next day Wagner went to rIan.
kato and got out a warrant for the ar
rest of Walters, charging him with as
sault IN the first degree.
After the arrest, however, it developed
that Wagner was a good deal to blame
for the trouble himself, and he was not
Eanxibus to prosecute. When the matter
came up IN the munich pal court, com.
Iplete reconciliation was effected and the
charge was reduced to assault il the
third degree. Walters pleaded guilty
and Wagner helped pay the fne. Judge
Ishissler lectured the boys severely
