late to be OF any assistance. They
found him wedged in between the log
and the vhifietree and the chain had
choked out his life. The log did not
roll upon him and his body was in no
wise bruised or crushed.
Deceased was the eldest son of Mr..
and Mrs. Chas. Dietz. Until year
ago they lived at Mapleton but in 1902
moved onto the farm in Cottonwood
which Mr.. Dietz had owned for some
years. Here the family has since re-
sided and the young man is spoken of
as an industrious and devoted son.
He had relatives in New Ulm, B. Juni
being his uncle.
: When the accident was reported here
Coroner L. A. Fritsche drove out to
the Dietz place and viewed the re-
mains. He found that an inquest was
not necessary.
Late yesterday afternoon the remains
were brought to this city and placed
in L. J. Buenger's undertaking estab-
lishment. They will be shipped to
Mapleton for interment.

RETURNS FROM VIENNA
Or, ReiHeke Studied Special Surgery
in Austria.

DIR. and Mrs Reineke are home from
their extended stay in Europe. The
former returned to New Ulm Friday
and Mrs. Reineke came Monday. They
were absent about I months and dur
ing that time travelled through France,
Switzerland, Austria and Germany,
making trip up the river Rhine and
spending several days in Berlin.
The greater portion of their time
abroad was spent at Vienna, Austria,
where DR.. Reineke specialized in
diseases of the eye, ear, nose, throat
and skin. He devoted particular at
tention to the eye and had all the
clinical advantages of the great hos
pitfalls at Vienna.
Returning to America they made the
voyage across the Atlantic in the
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse and en-
countered very stormy weather. They
landed at New York about a fortnight
ago but have visited with Waseca re-
latives in the interval.
Now that DIR. Reineke is back in New
Ulm he will resume his general prac.
tice and will make speciality OF the
subjects he studied last summer. Early

Office into the business section of the
city and will probably locate in the

native city demand his attention and

father, who is now in his 73rd year,
at the latter's home in Edinburgh,
Scotland.
Should he decide to go he will leave

TESTAMENT HELD INVALID
Plaintiffs Succeed IN Breakup
Sperl Will.
Most Important Case Tried Her,
For Many Years.
Property Valued at sac, 600 In
volved in Litigation.

After trial lasting three days the
jury in the SperI will case decided that
the last will and testament OF Anton
Sperl, late of Cottonwood township,
was invalid. They were out but four
hours and then returned a verdict
giving the four heirs the rights which
they claimed were theirs underline Law.
The case is one of the most important
ever tried in Brown county, involving
real and personal property valued at
s20, 600, and the results a great victory
for the local law firm of Hoidale &.
Somsen.
Details of the case are interesting.
When Anton Sperl died on July 4,
1903, he was survived by five children:
four sons, Joseph, Otto, George and
Stanis, and one daughter, Mrs. Peter
Fischer. He left $50 acres of land and
personal property worth $500, the
aggregate value of his estate being
approximately $50, 900.
In a will which he had drawn he
bequeathed all of his property to his
eldest son, Joseph Sperl, with the
exception of an insurance policy for
81. ZOO in st. Joseph's Unterstuetzungs
Verein, which was to be divided
equally among all the children, giving
them $500 apiece.
| Two case were settled out of court
Monday and dismissed. They were:
Herman R. Mueller, plaintiff, vs.. A.
M. Roos, defendant, and Chas. Bal
trusch, Jr., plaintiff, VS.. Henry Hamann
and Albert Pfaender, defendants. The
case of Tape & Co., plaintiffs, VS.,
Pfeiffer & Co., defendants, was con
tinued and will probably be settled.
| When the estate was filed for pro
bate Messrs. Hoidale & Somsen, or
behalf of Otto Sperl and Mrs. Anna
Fischer, made formal contest of tht
will on three grounds: First, that i
was not properly executed according
to law; second, that Anton Sperl wa:
not of sound mind when the instrumen
was drawn; third, that undue infuenc,
was exercised by Joseph Sperl over hi!
father. .-.
The case went to trial Thursday ant
Monday morning Judge Webber reat
the charge to the jury. When th,
jurors returned into court they report
ed having answered the three ques
tions propounded to them, and CAV
as their verdict that the will was du1,
executed and that Anton Sperl was o
sound mind when its provisions wer
made. They held, however, that Jos
Sperl did exercise undue influence an,
for that reason favored the cause O
the plaintiffs.
Their verdict means much to th
appellants. It will allow them t.
share equally with the other heirs an,
will alter the title to almost the entir
tract of land. Jos. A. Eckstein Q
this city, and Somerville & Olsen Q
, Sleepy Eye, were attorneys for Jos
Sperl and they will doubtless appea
to the supreme court.
In the case of Sleeper & Eddington
plaintiffs, VS.. Peter Christensen, de
fendant, the jury returned verdic
Thursday in favor of the former. Th'
plaintiffs brought suit to recovel
s154.32, the value of gasoline light
ing plant which they installed in Mr.
Christensen's store at Sleepy Eye

BROWN IN RAGING CIRCUIT.
Talk of Horse Races For This
County Next Year.
Agricultural Society Directors to
Meet Tonight.
Il Action IS Favorable Delegates
Will Go to St. Paul.

Directors OF the Brown County Agri-
cultural society will meet in the Office
Of Secretary VIM. Pfaender, Jr., this
evening to discuss the advisability of
joining the Minnesota Valley Fair and
Racing circuit. Lastweek Mr.. Pfaender
received letter from Geo. L. Evans
of Redwood Falls. secretary of the
racing association, approaching him
upon the subject and asking that the
local society send delegates to meet
ing to be held at the Merchants hotel
in st. Paul about January 18th or 18th.
The Minnesota Valley Fair and
Racing circuit now includes the county
fairs of Redwood, Yellow Medicine,
Lac qui Parle, Renville and Chippewa
counties. They offer inducements to
horse owners to enter animals in q
series OF races at all the fairs and
thus are able to book racing pro-
gram at less expense than is the case
where the separate societies act in
dependently. In addition to Brown,
Secretary Evans writes that they
expect to take in Nicollet and Lyon
counties this winter.
Experiments with horse racing, which
have been conducted in the past by the
Brown County Agricultural society,
have not brought the results expected,
| and for this reason it is expected
that some of the directors will oppose
joining the circuit. However, the re
duced expense may make it possible te
list the racing attraction and if sucf
is the case the board will send dele,
| gates to the st. Paul meeting
I Whether this is done or not Brown
county is assured of good fair mex
year. The society Is now in good con
dition and the men who have charg,
of its affairs intend giving goot
show. Nothing will be done abou
the 1904 fair, however, until after th,
annual meeting of the society, whicl
is to be held in January. =

tary Pfaender will submit the follow
