At the breaking out of the war of the
Rebellion the town had over two hum
dred buildings and 635 inhabitants and
before the winter Of 1861 had set in,
about 80 Of the citizens of New Ulm
had enlisted in the Union Army and
many more would have gone south if it
had not been for the feeling of insecur-
ity that was felt in regard to the Sioux
Indians, whose reservation commenced
but seven miles west of town. These
Indians had frequently threatened to
take possession of the land again and to
kill all the white people, and though no
serious danger was apprehended from
these threats, it was thought best to
keep reserve force of men to look af-
ter the interests of the settlement In
1860, main street contained but q few
rough buildings, the more prominent of
which may be mentioned. There were
the Pennsylvania House, Leibold's barber
shop. Baarsch's store building, Fred
Behnke's saddlery shop, Fuller's store,
Auiann's residence, the Dakota House
and F. Beinhorn's building, used partly
us residence and partly as saloon,
and it may he added that saloon in
those days was an enterprise easily oper-
ated, for there was no license to pay
and as far as stock was concerned, half
barrel was about the size of it, accord
ing to the story told by early settlers.
Loheyde's shoe shop was in the row of
buildings and these constituted the main
business part of town. Across the street
from these, where Crone's and Buess-
mann's stores now stand, there, was a
long row of wooden sheds. There were
many other buildings at the time but
they we're more or less scatter ed over
the town site which was and is yet laid
out for distance extending six miles
east and west.
The population of the city Of New
Ulm, as fixed by the census of 1895, was
4,790, and the percentage of increase
for five years previous was something
over % percent; yearly increase of
nearly six per cent. Figured upon this
basis, which Is certainly very conserva-
tive, the population at the present time
must be not far from $500, possibly
1000. and stands probably at this time
about tenth in size of,the cities of the
state.
The country surrounding and tribu-
tarys to New Ulm is superior to any in
the state. The soil is rich and productive
Of large crops, the farmers are conse-
quently we'll do, and the rolling prai-s
ries are dotted with fine homes, large.
barns filled with well-fatted stock, and

In September 1856 colonists from Chi
cago and Cincinnati arrived, Wm.P Pfaen-
der assuming charge of the affairs of the
city. Among the arrivals was Adolph
Setter, who built q log cabin little
west of what is now New Ulm proper
and established a primitive country
store. This place deserves more than h
passing notice for here it was that on
the 18th day of November 1857 the
"New Ulm Turnvereln" was organized
An organization which has since erect
ed one of the most expensive and i'm
posing public halls in the state and
made the city of its birth prominent in
the Northwest for having developed a
gymnastic school unsurpassed, IF equaled
anywhere. The Setter 'buildlng" was
in size about 12x14 feet and barely high
enough for a good sized man to stand
erect in. 1t served as store, bed room :,
kitchen and assembly room for the set
tiers of the surrounding country.
Others who arrived during the same
year were Lorenz Amann, John Redman,
Joseph Hitz, Andreas Pfaff, Christian
Schaeffer, who built the first street
through the slough on the present Gen.
tre Street, George Kraemer, R. Doeber-

tag and children. Joseph Gebhard, Ul-
itch Lipp, Isidor Luger and John spen-
ner.
Among the first stores build was that
of Mr.. Won Claim, where the Masonic
block stands today. Schalk and Fenske
build a better one than Won Claims on
State street in 1856 and Setter & Koehne
build hardware store IN 1857. II :.
Turner Hall was built in 1853 on the
present site. 1t was built of frame and
was the first public building for the
holding of dances and public parties
build in this town. This building stood
until 1862 when it was destroyed by the
Indians. ~l.:. F.. 80. :. ~. .s@>~.. i. ~

That was a wild day in Manila. Far
over near the Escolta somebody shot al
vagrant dog tapping water from lit
tlepool under one of the many hydrants.
The soldier police essayed an arrest;
the culprit broke and ran; the guard
fired; lot of coolies, taking alarm, fled
jabbering TO the river side. The natives,
looking for trouble any moment, rushed
to their homes. Some soldiers on pass
and unarmed tumbled over the tables
and chairs in the Alhambra in their
dash for the open street. A stampede
sergeant told bugler to sound to
arms, and in the twinlling of an eye
the call was taken up from barrack to
barrack, and the news went flashing
out by wire to the extreme front. The
shopkeepers hastily put up their shut
tiers and bolted their doors. Cabs, carts.
quilez and carromattas-even the street
cars-were instantly seized by the SOL

ized TO take them tearing back to ioin

serted. Chinese covered within their
crowded huts. The natives, men and
women, either hid within the shelter of
thcir homes or fled to the sanctuary of
the many churches. All over the great
city the alarm spread like wildtire. The
battalions formed under arms, those
nearest the outer lines being marched
ut once to their positions in support,
those nearer the walled city waiting for
orders. Foreign residents took mat
tiers more coolly than did the Asiatic;
German phlegm, English impassiveness
and Yankee devil-may-care-ishness pre-
venting a panic. But those who had
families and OwAsd b. could hiss ~.

CHAPTER XVII.

In the fortnight of incessant action
that followed the mad attack of that
starlit Sunday morning, there was no
place for Billy Gray. Sorely wounded,
yet envied by many fellow soldier for
the glowing words in which the brigade
commander praised his conduct and
urged his brevet, the boy had been
carried back to the great reserve hos
pital at Malate. The breezy wards
were filled with sick and wounded, and
certain of the rooms of the old con-
vent once used for study and recita-
There were three cots in the one to
which they bore him, and two were al
ready occupied. Even in his pain and
weakness he could hardly suppress a
cry of dismay; for there, with his arm
bandaged and in splints, his face white
from loss of blood, lay Stanley Arm
strong. Time and again the boys heart
and conscience had rebuked him for
the estrangement that had arisen be-
tween him and this man who had
proved his best friend. Time and again
he had promised himself that he would
strive to win back that friendship; but
well he knew that first he must REIN
state himself in Armstrong; respect;
and how could he hope for that so long
as he surrendered to the destinations
that kept him dangling about the
dainty skirts of Witchie Garrison?
