The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-09-04

society consisting of sixty men, was IN
command of Capt. Paul DrinkWitz. The
Minneapolis contingent, consisting OF the
same number of men, was COMMANDED
by Capt. John Wiesman, and capt. r.
Reins was in command Of the Waseca
company.
The crowd was so large that the
mounted police assisted by squad OF
cavalry under command Of Lieut.. Otto
Arnold, found it impossible to clear the
field where the military maneuVers were
to be held. For this reason the sham
battle was not as strategic as was In
tended. The Minneapolis company
made a detour through the woods and
attacked the st. Paul company. Skirmish
lines were thrown out on both sides ana
the firing was hot and heavy. Capt.
Drinkwitz ordered the Waseca company,
which acted as reinforcements, to flank
the enemy and with the German flag at
the head of the column this order was
obeyed This movement won the battle,
and as the 1000 rounds Of ammunition
was by this time exhausted the battle
ceased. Capt Drinkwitz marched back
with the American flag flying at the
head of his column, while the 7,ooo spec
tators cheered and the band played the
"tSar-Spangled Banner"
