Henry johnson, farmer near Brook
Ign, received letter last Saturday. from
Lewis Ottesen, who mysteriously disap-
peared about the middle of March, In
the letter, which was written May 18th
in a hotel at Tacoma, Wash, Ottesen
sends greetings to his friends and writes
that he is we'll and went to Washington
a month ago, having since been in var
ious parts of the state.
Miss Title Kaupanger suffered a
broken rib and also sustained severe
bruises by being thrown from buggy
last Saturday evening while on the way
to her home near Utica in company with
two cousins. Another rig driving up be-
hind them and attempting to pass them
caused their horse to run away, with the
result that Miss Kaupanger was thrown
violently from the buggy. One of the
cousins also received a number of
bruises.
Quite a number of people from this
city and the neighboring towns left Sat
urday and Sunday on a summer visit to
Norway, going from New York Wednes-
day on the Oceanic" The delegation
of excursionists from the west was so
large that special train was required to
take them from Chicago to New York.
Those who went from here were: CLAUS
Peterson, G Ell Mugaas, Severt Larson,
Amin Hoyum, Mrs Bertha LOTUS, Miss
Hannah Amble, Andrew Ell Nordness,
Lars Christensen, Miss Amanda Ander-
son, Andrew Anderson, Mrs Tina Ander-
son, Martin w jacobson, Arne Anderson.
The death of Rev G w Pratt last Fri
day evening came as a painful shock to
many Of his friends here who had not
yet realized that his end was so near
For about two weeks, however, he had
been rapidly failing, and he himself had
given up all hopes of recovery after hav-
ing heroically struggled for life
for period of eight weeks Mr. Pratt's
death was caused by an internal abscess,
resulting from I'M uries received in slip
ping and falling on the porch of his resi-
dence about the middle of March. Some
weeks ago it was thought that the alb
scess was healing and that he was on
the road to recovery, but his improve
ment was but temporary.
The basement to the grocery store of
Wettleson, Fosdahl & Stevens became
filled with gas Thursday morning, sup
posed from reflling the oil tank a short
time before, some of which had been
scattered around the tank and evapo-
rated forming the gas. Mr. Ole Wettle-
son, one of the proprietors, went to the
basement with lantern for basket of
potatoes when the explosion occurred
A loud report and the entire room was
one solid mass of blaze. Every window
and the glass panel door was blown out
and the plaster torn from the wall Mr.
Wettleson was enveloped in flames but
strange to relate is not seriously burned.
While his face is considerably scorched,
one hand is the worst burned. Mr. Wet
tleson is confined to his bed but the doc
tors hope to have him around again in
few days. 1t was, however, a narrow
escape. The fire company was called
out and soon all danger to the building
was past.

Adolf Lund tried the cooling propen-
stiles of the mill race Wednesday night.
He went down to the end of the piping
of the artesian we'll for drink, and in
doing so, got step too far and loosing
his balance took a plunge A good soak
iEg was the result.
A very serious if not fatal accident be-
fel Mrs John Holiness at her home, one
and one-half mile southwest of this vii
lafie, last Wednesday evening about s
o'clock. She climped into the top of a
tobacco shed to chase out some turkeys
that were roosting there, and in some
manner she slipped and fell to the
ground, distance of about twenty feet,
breaking one leg in two places and bad
ly spraining an ankle. She was carried
into the house and DR. Amundson imme-
diately summoned. He set the fracture
and made the sufferer as comfortable as
possible. Aside from the fractured limb
her back is badly hurt, and grave fears
are entertained that she may possibly
have sustained internal injuries which
will prove fatal.
Into each life some ruins must fall.

A bull made furious at the sight Of a
stranger, attacked G B Mackey while at
his farm Tuesday,. Mr. Mackey climbed
a tree, and luckily the tenant heard the
believing of the animal and hurried to
Mr. Mackey's relief. The fact that the
tree had only one small limb within Mr.
Mackey's reach made his position most
perilous and only for the prompt assist
ance he would have had to drop to the
ground, and in that event one can easily
imagine the result.
The little daughter of Herman Tess,
who resides in the Six Corners neigh

the responsibility of the household.
Monday she was washing clothes and in
the work had taken two pals of water
from the boiler on the stove. 1t is sup
posed the little one not noticing the
pals, stepped backward and fell into
the boiling water. The injuries result
ing proved fatal few hours later.

THE TANKES IN JAIL.

The following is taken from the St
Peter Herald of Friday:
A Herald reporter sought to interview
the accused at the county jail. Tanke
seemed to be cool and collected. He
was smoking cob pipe and between the
puffs of smoke said he declined to talk
for publication or discuss the affair. He
said he was born in Germany, came to
New Ulm 10 years ago and was 25 years
of age. He said he had worked for john
Wellner about four weeks and for some
time prior had been employed about the
town of Lafayette.
Mrs. Tanke was reclining on a couch
along the upper tier of cells. She seemed
somewhat careworn and more nervous
than her husband. She also refused to
talk. Mr.. Tanke is rather good looking
and does not have the appearance of
having her hands stained with the blood
ol uCl duhC anu Ills WlIS
have retained J. A. Eckstein of New UIm
as their attorney.
Several of the daily papers enhanced
the interest of their accounts with the
suggestion of confession. As near as
we can learn neither Tanke or the wom-
an have made confession. They deny
the crime, and the evidence upon which
they will be convicted, if at all, will be
not upon their confession but on other
testimony. The murder was one of the
most foul ever committed in the county,
and it is hoped that if the accused are
guilty. the proof will not be found wait
ing.

Quick ~ffted.

Tt was simply an exhibition OF nerve
and quick w.t. said the old banker
who was dining at his club with a
number Of friends. ''No one but the
paying teller knew what was happen
ing at the time, and what might have
been tragedy was turned into a COM
edy by his quick wit.
During the noon hour one day an
old man approached the paying teller
and presented check for $1,000, 900.
With it was badly written letter to
the effect that If the immediate pay
ment Of the check was not forthcoming
the teller would have his head blown
OF. He was nothing but crank, but
he had come armed for business, and if
the wit Of the paying teller had failed
him for an instant there might have
been tragedy. But the paying teller
coolly took up the check, glanced at it
and then handed it back with the re-
mark that the crank had neglected to
put stamp upon it In an instant the
crank was full Of apologies at his over
sight and departed to get a stamp. It
took but moment to notify the police,
and the crank was put where there is
no danger of his demanding the pay
ment Of any more $1,OOO,OOO checks at
the point Of a gun."-Detroit Free

AFTER MORE EVIDENCE.

Sheriff Mcmillan and detective Cole
man were in the city on Saturday on
their way out to the Wellner farm in
search of more evidence relating to the
Tanke case. The detective claims that
he has proof positive that Wellner was
killed before Tanke left the farm on that
fateful night, and that instead of walk
ing to the city as he claims he did, the
detective can prove that he used other
and faster means. If all these allega-
tions can be proven and the parties now
IN Jail be convicted of the crime it will
furnish criminal record of most revolt
ing horror, but if mistake has been
made and the parties are innocent it is
terrible mistake that no amount of ex-
planning can set right. Character once
smlrched bears always the yellow stain
and no amount of washing will totally
obliterate it. The fact that someone
should suffer for this terrible crime is
not sufficient to warrant an arrest on
suspicion, of which the sheriff of Nicol-
let county is undoubtedly cognisant, bat
if the right parties are under arrest they
should not be shown mercy because the
lagse of few years has tempered the
horror of the crime.

SUMMER Is OVER

but we feel it's after-effect. The continu-
Gus heat parched our bodies. The pores of
our skin, consequent upon the accelerat-
ed circulation and the increased pressure
of our blood, were so overworked that the
perspiration literally ran from us in
streams. This overtax so weakened the
pores that finally they were unable to re-
tain water contained in the blood. This
made the blood thicken, and since the
ma1treated pores were incapable of prop
erly performing their motions, it became
impossible for them to eliminate the poi
sonous matters the blood had accumulat-
ed. The body, therefore, has become sur
charged with contaminations which only
the celebrated "St. Bernard Vegetable
Pills can remove. When troubled with
lassitude. indigestion and kidney trouble,
dizziness, pa1pitation of the heart ,costive-
ness or distorted vision, then you will be
that the excessive heat of the past sum-
mer has charged your system with blood
poison.

GAME WAS FAIR.

The game of fost ball at New Ulln on
Saturday between the high school teams
was another one of those disgraceful
sporting events that ought not to have
occurred. The bias of the referee, New
Ulm man, lost touchdown for Sleepy
Eye and the score stood to O.-Dis-
patch.
What delight the Dispatch can find in
so palpably misrepresentlng things is
hard to see. There was absolute fairness
in the game of foot ball, and it was the
general expression that all who witness
ed the game would like to see the same
teams play again. The faculty OF max
