called-for Wrath.
The fact that New Ulm won out in its
effort to have the Twelfth Minnesota
mustered out here has been the means Of
stirring up lot Of Winona people to q
warm pitch Of indignation and one Of
them really got SO mad as to be abusive
Col. Bobleter, of course, came in for the
biggest share Of his denunciation and We
print the interview merely to show what
holy show small-caiibred man can
make Of himself whether the occasion re-
quires it or not. We refer to the state
ment made by Capt. Man as follows:
eff any further proof were needed to
show that the great amount of sickness
and terrible death roll among our friends
now. serving in the Twelfth Minnesota
under Col. Bobleter was largely owing,
if not wholly, to his gross neglect and
shameful abuse of the men, that further
proof is furnished by his present effort
to drag the two companies Of men, re-
cruited here, past this city and on out to
New Ulm, to place them, IN their pres
ent feeble condition, in cattle sheds on
a county fair ground where ice has
formed twice during the past week.
Shame on Winona! Shame on Minneso-
ia! Curse Bobleter to his dying hour
TO place this regiment of our returning
heroes, our dearly beloved sons and
brothers, in cattle sheds in New Ulm,
even one night, instead Of sending them,
by the shortest and quickest route, to
their home and to our waiting arms!''
That this feeling of animosity did not
prevail among the citizens Of Winona
generally is evidenced by the fact that at
a citizens mass meeting Capt. Mans
statements were .disapproved Of, and a
generous offer made to the citizens of
New Ulm to cooperate in the reception
OF the soldiers. A committee, consisting
of Mayor Tarbell, Hon. Frank L. Ran
dali and Capt. Frost, was appointed to
go to New Ulm and in announcing their
coming Mr.. Randall said:
cat our meeting sentiment of great
satisfaction was manifested at the fact
that the boys were to 60 to city so well
equipped for entertainment by means
and experience and whose name through
out the state is synonym for hospitali-
ty. We expect to take with US from
the homes of the soldiers such apparel
as may be understood to be needful in
view of their removal from Kentucky
to the clearer, cooler and better air of the
state which honors them" Il.
The committee arrived here Friday
evening, Mayor Tarbell being accom-
panied by his wife. They met with the
local committee and were cordially re-
ceived, the Great Western band serenad-
ing them at about nine o'clock. Kind
offers of financial assistance were made,
but the local committee didn't think it
necessary to accept of them as the COM
mittee has plenty OF funds at its disposal
and can easily get more it needed.
The fact, however, that the people of
Winona were reconciled to the orders of
the war department in sending the regi-
ment to New Ulm had an excellent eff
feet in spurr,ng the people Of New Ulm
on to greater manifestations of hospttall-
ty..
The Winona committee remained I'M
til yesterday and proved of great aid in
receiving the boys and looking out for
the sick.
&. Their visit was deeply appreciated and
will always be remembered.
They left feeling that the Winona boys
were in good town and in good hands.
