JUDGE LIGHTENED FINE
Thought ProYoCation Sufficient for a
Few Cuss Words.

Otto Sperl, a threshing engineer,
was fined $40 and costs, or S18. 40, last
Saturday afternoon in the municipal
court, having confessed to charge
of abusive language.
Sperl, although he admitted the
charge, pleaded extenuating circum-
stances. Last Wednesday, he related,
as he was standing beside his thresh-
ing engine on the farm OF John Rees
in Cambria township, Ben Z. Evans,
another workman, came up behind him
and play fully grasped his knees. Sperl
barely saved himself from falling
against the running engine. In his
fright and anger be broke into a storm
of epithets at Evans, who lost no time
in causing Sperl's arrest.
Judge Plymat said, in recognition Of
Sperps uncontradicted story, that be
would make the fine lighter than he
would ordinarily in such cases.

Kunz Case Submitted.

Testimony in the case of the State of
Minnesot VS.. Jno. Kunz was submitted
on briefs to the justices of the supreme
court Thursday. Kunz is the young
man who was arrested last spring for
an alleged criminal assault upon a
little girl. At the June term of the
district court he was indicted by the
grand jury but when his case was call
ed it was taken to the supreme court
without a trial in the lower tribunal.
The supreme court decision will not be
handed down for a fortnight or more.
Halloween passed off very quietly in
New Ulm. Few youngsters were abroad
on the night which is dedicated to
pranks, a great respect for the curfew
having been instilled into them. A few
gates were spirited away but there were
no serious depreda tions.

SHEEP EXTRA IS DITCHED
Rails Spread and Throw Freight
From Track. ,-: :
Wreck Occurred Near JudsOn Sun
~ day Afternoon.
Causes Suspension of Traffic Over
New Line.

Traffic was suspended for nearly
twenty-four hours over the short line
between this city and Mankato because
of a wreck which occurred east of Jud-
son Sunday afternoon. A freight
engine and eight box cars left the rails
and completely blockaded the road
and the wrecking crew which was hur-
ried in could not reopen it until Mon
day noon.
The train which was ditched was a
''sheep extra,'' the engine pulling ten
empty box cars and fifteen stock cars
loaded with sheep. It was in charge
of Conductor Clark and Engineer
Uonsien and was east bound. Four
miles east of Judson and when it was
running at comparatively low speed
the rails spread and threw the engine
and eight box cars from the track,
the tender and three cars rolling
down 10-foot embankment. O.
None of the members of the train
crew were injured and not a single
sheep was killed, the stock cars not
leaving the rails. The three cars
which rolled down the grade was total
ly demolished but the balance of the
rolling stock was not greatly injured.
Railroad men are at loss to account
for the mishap, as the grade is not
soft at the point where the wreck oc-
CURED and the rails appeared to be in
good condition. s~ =. :
It was about / o'clock when the train
was derailed and within three hours a
wrecking crew had been sent to the
scene from Waseca. They worked
without rest throughout all of Sunday
might and at noon Monday had cleared
away the broken cars and repaired the
track. In the meantime all trains were
sent around over the old line, by way
of st. Peter. t$4s 49, .sas sssss
An odd thing in connection with the
affair is that only a few moments be-
fore the freigh train was wrecked the
westbound passenger passed over the
spot in safety. It met the extra at
Judson and before it reached it's next
stop the latter had been piled up in
the ditch. Had the rails spread with
the passenger the result can only be
conjectured. It carried an unusually
large number of passengers and there
would doubtless have been loss of life.

DESCRIBED POT OF GOLD
LoeffelmaCher Had Detectives Chas-
ing RainboNs.

A ''clue" which Detectives Coleman
and Whitney followed and which they
fondly imagined was to lead them to
a pot of gold, furnishes one anus
ing incident in the Loefelmacher case.
The tale is sent out by John Loeffel-
macher and he describes the search OF
| the sleuths for fabulous treasure which
he had informed them was buried near
his fathers barn.
According to Johns story he hand
ed out the tip to the detectives after
his escape from the Nicollet county
jail. On the night of the escape he
says that Coleman drove about ST..
Peter in the carriage which was to take
him to liberty but that the sleuth was
unable to locate him (Loeffelma cher),
and subsequently he was recaptured.
Then Coleman called upon him in his
cell and he told the Minneapolis man
| of some money that was buried near
his fathers barn. s@@sz5 =
Following this Coleman was absent
for day OF, two but upon his return
he told the prisoner that he and Whit
ney had dug for the treasure but could
not find it. Loeffelmacher informed
Coleman that they had not searched
in the right place and wanted them to
make another trial but the detective
suspected hoax and instead of fall
ing in with Johns idea submitted the
proposition to help him escape for
$3.50. ~ = .-. ~ IL $50. ~.
Then, John alleges, Coleman asked
him if he had any money and he gave
the detective the last $40 he possessed,
with the understanding that he was to
receive $500 more when the prisoner
was safely out of the country. The
letter to August Loeffelmacher was
written later but it was not productive
kof results. $500 4.
Regarding the probable outcome of
the affair, it is not known whether or
not the detectives will be prosecuted.
The attorneys for the defense will look
up the evidence against Coleman and
Whitney carefully and if conviction
can possibly be obtained they will
swear to a complaint. In that event
! County Attorney A. A.. Stone of St.
Peter will be asked to prosecute the
case. ~

DR.. O. C. Strickler Receives Letter
From President Beecher.
Railroad Official Asks Local Men to
\ Meet Him in Minneapolis.

An effort will be made by the board
of directors of the Minnesota Central
Railroad company to float the bonds
of the concern in the cities through
which the road passes, at least that is
the course which is being pursued
here. Last week DR.. 0. G. Stricken
received communication from David
n. Beecher of Grand Forks, N. D.,
president of the road, asking that
local parties come forward and assist
in financing the company. His letter
was as follows: ~...
GRAND FORKS, N. D., Oct. 20, 1908.
DR.. o. G. STRICKLER,
New Ulm, MINI.
DEAR SIR a--
I am advised by Mr.. William S..
Lambert that at the time of the visit to
your city of the Board of Directors of
the Minnesota Central Railroad com
pany that it was the desire of your
people to meet the representatives of
our company IN few days to accept
the proposition from the residents of
your city for subscriptions to first
mortgage bonds of the Minnesota Cen
trail Railroad company to be taken on
terms to be arranged with your repre-
sentatives who came before our board
at the West Hotel last week.
q Will you kindly give me date be-
tween the 4th aud 9Th of November
that you desire to meet us at the West
Hotel, Minneapolis, Mimi, and go
over such matters as may come up in
connection with this work.
Mr.. Geo. r. Van Reed, chief engi-
neer, will accompany me on this trip
and it will be desirable to receive at
your hands any aid and information
that you have and become possessed
of in connection with our work at or
near New Ulm. Very truly yours,
DAVID III. BEECHER,
President.
DR.. Stricken handed the above let
ter 10 Jacob Klossner, Jr., president
of the New Ulm Commercial Union,
and after consultation with other of
ficers OF that organization Mr.. Kloss-
ner replied to President Beecher. He
informed the Grand Forks man that,
although New Ulm people would like
to see the road come in here, they
were not prepared at this time to make
an offer. H.
The position he has taken is un-
doubtedly correct. AS yet the propo.
sition submitted by the promoters is
very indefinite and it is extremely
doubtful whether individuals could be
found here who would subscribe to-
ward the bonds, let alone having them
voted by the city. At best New Ulm
will get nothing more than a branch
line from New Sweden and there is a
feeling that the company should buil6
this in here without assistance.

Sent to Training School.

On charge of incorrlgibillty pre-
ferred by his parents, Joseph Arbes,
Jr., an 11-year-old boy, was taken
before Judge Henningsen at 10 O'Clock
Monday morning. The boys parents
swore that he had been disobedient and
refused to attend school or carry out
their wishes, they attributing his con-
duct to the influence of evil associates.
After listening to the evidence Justice
Henningsen ordered him committed to
the state training school at Red Wing
and Monday evening Judge Weber
approved the findings. He will be
taken to theinstitution by Sheriff VIM.

General Bobleter Cigar.

A new cigar made its appearance in
New Ulm this week. It is made by
Theo. Mueller and. is called the Cen
eral Bobleter. The colored design for
the boxes is very attractive, consist
ing of a handsome photograph of
Gen. Joseph Bobleter, with two battle
scenes in the background and the cut
surrounded with q fresco work of
shields, standards and arms. And the
cigar is better than the design. It is
a handmade, clear Havana, retailing
at 10 cents and will doubtless become
great favorite.

Colonel "Bill" Phelps Establishes
Himself at His Old Head
quarters.
NOT WORKING WITH CARROLL.
Latter Has Not Appeared on the
Scene-In1uence of the Pass
Is Already Being
Felt.

SPECIAL.
Jefferson City. Mo, Jan. 6.-Colonel BIZ
Phelps is in his old Headquarters at the
McCarty House. Colonel John II. Carroll
has not yet appeared. And thereby hangs
q tale.
1t is freely rumored that the two noted
lobbyists will not work together as in the
! past. Phelps probably will be here as much
as ever. if his early presence may be taken
to. mean anything. Carroll will be missed.
| according to the same rumors. In school
boy parlance. he has been promoted and
will do most of his work in Washington.
Where he formerly occupied the best suite
in the Madison House, according to the
transportation wants of men whose prom
inence. in the majority of instances, was
bounded by county lines. and was satisfied
TO protect and advance the interest of the
railroads, he will now exercise his beneficent
legerdemain upon Congressman and United
States Senators.
At that, it Is expected that Carroll will
spend a short time in Jefferson City during
/, the session. During the last session he and
Phelps did not work in entire harmony.
Phelps's activity has been felt in many
ways. He is working with might and
main for the election OF Cornelius Roach,
his felfow-townsman. for Secretary of the
Senate. His pass book. as in the PAST. is
at the service of his friends.
Republicans are also feeling the effects
of the Phelps pass book. Nagelites IRE

What is the Use of getting transporta-
ton secondhand? If Phelps grants the
| request, we don't know what may lie de-
manded in the future. The railroads are
glad enough to grant any requests direct,
| Then there is no club over our heads"
All of which is taken to mean that the
lobby is here both in the person of Phelps
and in the hearts of more than enc willy
member. who likes to play with fire.
