TRAVELLING MAN CAUGHT,
And With Him Was May Jones--Wife
Causes Their Arrest.

Saturday morning May Jones and W.
L. Seelye appeared before Judge Hen
nlngsen on warrant sworn out by Mrs.
Ada G. Seelye, charging them with in
timacy, to which they pleaded guilty and
were fined $50 each. They paid the
fines and were released. The parties
were from Mankato and were followed
there by the wife of Seelye, who had
him arrested at midnight at the Grand
hotel, where they had taken Il room,
They were together when arrested. From
the hotel they were taken to the county
Jail, where they spent the remainder of
the night. Mrs. Seelye appeared in
person against her husband, who is a
travelling man.
Seelye Is the travelling representative
of the Mankato Citizens Fire Insurance
company, and has resided in Mankato
for a number of years. He is said to
have been enamored by the woman.
Seelye is we'll known in the state, and
IN Mankato, where he was always we'll
thought of. His family is very respect
able
The Miss Jones claims she is from
Winona, but those who know say she is
from Lake Crystal, town twelve miles
from Mankato, They say Jones is not
her right name.
An attempt was made to keep this
disgraceful affair out of the papers and
the REVIEW has no desire to give it un-
due publicity, but when man occupy
ing the position of Mr.. See1ye SO far
forgets his duty to his wife and family
he certainly is beyond the sting of criti-
cism. A young man may fall, aHd for
his sake and the sake of his family the
REVIEW is willing to shield him, but it
can find no excuse for the above crime
and offer no apology flor its publica
tion.

TWO MEN INJURED. !.
Chicago & Northwestern Train Crashes
Into Wagon at the Depot
Crossing.
JOHN RINGsD0RF AND VIM. GINGEL
In Hospital, the Former with both Feet
Cut off and the Latter Injured
Internally.

Monday afternoon as the east bound
passenger train was pulling iEto the city
passengers at the depot were horrlfied to
see two men in wagon drive onto the
track just in front Of the engine. The
horses passed the train but the wagon
was struck mid way and the men thrown
into the air. John Ringsdorf who was
driving was thrown and dragged so that
he fell under the wheels of the cars and
both of his feet were crushed and his
face lacerated and bruised. The other
man VIM. Gingel fell onto the cowcatch-
er and was knocked insenslble and may
be internally injured he bled from the
ears and nose and had great difficulty IN
breathing but was not injured outward
ly. The wagon was literally smashed
into kindllng and the harness torn from
one of the horses. Both men live near
Ceurtland and were on their way home.
The drove up from the west side of the
mill which entirely obscures the view of
the track and passing Rapidly around the
place came onto the track just in time
to allow the horses to pass before the
engine struck the wagon.
DR.. Stricken was Immediately sent for
and gave what attention was necessary
before taking them to the hospital where
Ringsdorf's feet were amputated and the
best possible care given to both men.
The crossing where the accident took
place is particularly dangerous and
has been so regarded for many years so
that the city passed an ordinance at one
time providing for protection of some
kind at that point but the ordinance was
never made effective. The mill, and cars
that are run in there for the use Of the
mill entirely prevents view of the track
and it is wonder that accidents have
not been more frequent than they have.
There should be an automatic lifting
gate or flag man stationed there as
there is large amount of travel over
hat road.

FORTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY.
New Ulm Turnverein Celebrates 45th
Anniversary of Founding of Turn

tClS lSlus
Monday night Turner hall was scene
of gayety and good will, it being the
date of the anniversary both of the
Turnverein and the Ladies' society.
The attendance at the anniversary was
good. The meeting was called to order
by the president, Capt. Albert Stein
hauser, who delivered short ADDRESS,
followed by Col. Pfaender, who spoke on
the historical part of the Turnverein.
Ben Stockman confined his address to
the Sunday school. Frank Berg and Ed
Petry were the humorists of the evening.
Other speeches were delivered by Ar
mand Petry and Aug. Setter. Mrs.sC.
A. Hagberg spoke for the Ladies' society.
The banquet was served at 10 O'Clock
and lasted until 1890. At the breaking
up of the banquet the floor was cleared
and those who cared to were given the
privilege of dancing, which was kept up
until late hour.
The organization of this society took
place on the 11th of November, 1855 in
small log cabin in the edge OF the
woods near what afterwards became the
farm Of VIM. Pfaender, on the bank of
the river. The organization was effected
by the enrolment of twelve members.
VIM. Pfaender was made president, E.
Ge1stenhauer, secretary, A. Setter, treas,
urer, w. Hummel, instructor aud J. C.
foberer, trustee. Of these original
founders all have gone to their rest
save only VIM. Pfaender, Aug. Setter,
VIM. Hummel, J. c. Toberer and Eugene
Gerstenhauer, the latter being at this
time a resident of Winona.
From this humble beginning has
grown strong organization the srong-
est of its kind in the state. Through
Its influence the city of New UIm he
came one of the centers of social ard
political interest throughout the state
and the effect of the society, particularly
Ithat part of it which commands such
thorough training in gymnastics, will
be shown In the character and develop
ment of the people of this city for years
to come.
