HAD A GUN In Her SOCK
Officer Tauer Relieves Garden City
Woman of Weapon.

Officer Jos. Tauer performed a deli
cate mission Friday afternoon. He
placed Garden City woman under
arrest and by exercising the greatest
diplomacy succeeded in inducing her
to produce relvover from her stock
ing and hand the weapon over to him.
| The gun was a wicked-lOOking 49,
calibre and the story surrounding it
is interesting.
The woman, Mrs. Ethel Mason,
called at F. II. Retzlatf's hardware
store Friday afternoon and purchased
the revolver. Her actions were sus-
picious and Fred Wendland telephoned
to Officer Tauer at police headquarters
informing him of the occurrence.
Sighting a case, the minion of the law
started in pursuit of Mrs. Mason,
found that she had bought box of
cartridges of Robt. Fesenmaier and
/, later located her in restaurant
He at once placed her under arrest
and was then confronted with the
problem of securing possession of the
gun. It was situation to daunt the
most fearless but Officer Tauer put on
his most winning smile and requested
the woman to disgorge. She was
loath to part with her artillery but
at length yielded to his solicitations
and, while the blushing policeman
turned his back, she reached beneath
her drapery, brushing aside lace and
lingerie, and produced the weapon
from the meshes of her open-work
hose.
When questioned as to her inten-
tions in purchasing the gun she in
formed the officer that she had been
visiting with a sister in Golden Gate.
The latter's husband had not been
treating his wife as we'll as might have
been expected and her sole object in
buying the revolver was to protect her
sister. The weapon was coniscated
but she was told that it would be re-
turned to her when she passed through
New Ulm on her way to Garden City.
Mrs. Mason is a pretty widow. She
possesses a frank, engaging manner
and was very stylishly dressed. When
first arrested here Friday she assured
the authorities that she had many
friends in Mankato and that it would
not be difficult for her to get bail.

his pipe and he reached around to the
back pocket of his trousers, which re-
ceptacle contained nothing more dan
gerous than match box.
The publisher, however, miscon-
strued the action. Thinking Baltrusch
carried concealed gun and fairly
quaking with terror, Liesch called to
Officer Jos. Tauer, who was across
the street, to search the man for a
weapon. At this Baltrusch grinned
audibly, and then walked quietly away,
leaving the publisher to reflect upon
the utter idiocy of jumping at unwar-
ranted conclusions.
Friday afternoon the four Bait
rusches were summoned into court up
on three separate warrants. Carl
Baltrusch, Sr., Chas. Baltrusch, Jr.,
and Herbert Baltrusch were arrested
on complaint of G. w. Higgins charged
with assault and battery, Carl Bait
rusch, Sr., was declared by P. Liesch
as guilty of making threats of murder
and Alfred Baltrusch was accused of
assault and battery by G. w. Higgins.
The trial of the trio was first taken
up. Higgins took the stand and de-
livered himself of the story outlined
in this article, while the defendants
denied all of his allegations. Judge
Henningsen withheld his decision and
called the Threatened murder' case
for trial. At first Carl Baltrusch, ST.,
entered a plea of not guilty but later
he withdrew this, waived examination
and agreed to give bail in the sum of
$500 to keep the peace for six months.
When the action against Alfred Bait
rusch was called his attorney, Capt.
A. Steinhauser, asked for continual
ton and it was set for Saturday morn
ing at o'clock.
When the action went to trail Alfred
Baltrusch entered plea of not guilty
but after several Witnesses had been
examined he changed this to guilty
and Judge Henningsen then announced.
the fines. Carl Baltrusch, ST., was
assessed $50 and 1881 costs, Charles
Baltrusch, Jr., got 1925 and So. 81 costs,
Alfred Baltrusch was fined $40 and
costs amounting to S16.S7 and Herbert
Baltrusch was discharged. The fines
we're all paid and in addition the elder
Baltrusch deposited $3.50 to defray
the costs of filing his bond for $500,
Jos. Schnobrich and Fred Engelbert
signing the document as sureties.

PLAN TO DOUBLE NUMBER
Pope s Howard Will Feed 10000
Sheep This Winter.

Plans which Messrs. G.. B. Pope and
John Howard of Dodge Center, have
in mind provide for the feeding of
fully twice as many sheep in New Ulm
during the coming winter as were ever
fattened here before. Mr.. Pope was in
the city Sunday and the following day
his partner joined him here. They
were making the final preparations for
the feeding season, which will open
very shortly.
In conversation with Mr.. Pope at
his hotel Sunday evening that gentle
man gave a Review man to understand
that his firm was figuring upon going
into the sheep business upon a far
more extensive scale than in previous
years. During the winter of 1923
about $1,000 animals were fattened at
this point but this season Pope &
Howard intend doubling that number.
They will ship in 1000 in the first lot
and when these have: been made ready
for the market they will fill their yard
across the river with another consign-
ment of 5000. -
Exactly when the first shipment will
arrive is not known, as the owners
have not yet fully decided when they
will load their sheep. In determining
this point they will be governed to a
large extent by the condition of the
market but Mr.. Pope was able to say
that the animals would reach New
Ulm within few weeks. Pope g. How
ard own sheep in North Dakota an6
Montana but it is their intention te
bring the first lot in from the Dakota
ranch. They have been very success
full preparing mutton for the marke
in the past two years and this winter
their profits should be even greater.

ITS DOORS WE'RE CLOSED
Old Bank of St. James Temporarily
Suspended Payment.

On Tuesday forenoon it was an
nounced that the Old Bank of St. J ames
had suspended payment of checks, and
investigation ofthose concerned proved
the announcement true.
For some time Mr. M. K. Armstrong,
proprietor of the Bank, has not felt
we'll, and last week he made arrange
ments with a St. Paul specialist for an
examination of his case on Sunday
afternoon at o'clock in St. Paul, 60
ing down Saturday afternoon to keep
the appointment. The examination de-
veloped symptoms which the doctors
desired to investigate further, conse-
quently Mr.. Armstrong did not come
on Monday, as he expected, and on
Tuesday he was still absent.
In the meantime the sum of about
$4,000 which he had on hand when he
went away was checked out, and the
clerks were compelled to refuse further
payment.
The matter did not cause mnch ex-
element. as the people as rule, have
the utmost faith in Mr.. Armstrong;
probity, and of his resources and
ability to pay all claims, dollar for
dollar, with a large surplus when that
is done.
| Mr.. Armstrong came home on We'd
nesday, and is nowengaged in straight
ening out the tangle which would never
have occurred had he been at home at
the time. The Journal has the utmost
confidence that this will be done to the
entire satisfaction of every one.-St.

got it. Joe Becraft occasionally OBJ
served him with a mingled admira-
ton and wonder, and so the evening
wore on.
Between eleven and midnight re-
freshments were served-new cider
and some of Mrs. Merton's unap-
proachable doughnuts. While the
repast was in progress Rossiter man
aged to absent himself, though when
the music struck up he was again on
hand to be chidden by Miss Mer-
ton for running away. He had danced
twice with Miss Densmore, and now
ventured to ask her to favor him for
third time. Money-musk had just
been called.
'Will you not wait for quadrille
Or the lancers?" she suggested. II
should like to rest a little longer.
I'm not very strong, you know"
He fingered at her side for mo-
ment, not seeming to be inclined to
seek another partner.

she said, perhaps you will take me

like a breath of air.
Just without under the trees rus
tic seats had been placed, and above,
in the branches, Japanese lanterns
hung. They found seat that was I'M
occupied and sat watching the dan
GERS through the open door. There
was singular unreality about the
whole scene The music, softened a
little by distance, lost none of it's
blithesomeness, but took on a mellow
charm that it had not within. The
fitting figures, crossing the space
visible through the doorway, were
like succession of pirouetting pup
pets. Out of the night came the
clearly chorded cricket drumming.
1t was impossible not to be touched
by the subtle combination of light
and sound, and Rossiter let go of
the tense hold he had kept upon him
self. The girl beside him seemed like
a rare exotic in whose presence he
was permitted, by an inscrutable
chance, to inger for a brief space.
Why should he not, he asked him
self, enjoy the exquisite sense of
beauty that her personality exhaled?
Into what surge and plunge of life
he might soon be carried it was idle
to conjecture. At least he would
bear with him one fragrant recollec-
ton, one drop of a precious altar to
sweeten what might be a desert fu-
ture.

The Boy That Was Wanted.

A Philadelphia physician who is
something of a wag, and fair ven.
triloquist BESIDES. recently was in
need of the services of a boy, and
wanted one of nerve. He inserted an
advertisement in the daily papers.
Each applicant was shown to a pri-
vate apartment where there was the
full-sized skeleton of a human frame
and a bowl of boiling porridge. The
doctor explained that one of the
duties of the boy was to feed the
skeleton each day with the porridge.
and he desired him to commence at
once. Some Immediately declined;
others took the spoon in hand and
poured the porridge into the mouth.
whereupon the doctor caused the
skeleton seemingly to gurgle,
"Ugh-h-h, but it's hot!" This, in q
dozen cases, was the signal for a wild
scramble-the doctor having only a
feeting glance at rapidly disappear
ing figure. At last a sturdy little
Irish chap presented himself. Wher
his turn came the performance was
repeated. "Ugh-h-h, but it's hot

THE DEAD PAST.
KANSAS

Why sit and sigh DER things that We're?
Let's look with new, fond hopes ahead;
It's foolish to expect a rose
To grow upon the bush that's dead.
Come. let US put regret away
And face all future winds that blow:
We can't start up the furnace with
The coal We burned a year ago.
The mother of the whooping boy
Can never be a gentle maid
Back where the balmy breezes blew
And heroes through her vision played.
Alas! Why will she sadly sigh,
Since signing may not Quench her woe?
We can't start up the furnace with
The coal We burned a year ago.
Why sit in sorrow, looking back
At things that might have been, or fret
Because Of grevious things that were?
They're only happy who forget!
The past is gone. twill ne'er return.
The withered rose no more may blow
We can't start up the furnace with
The coal we burned a year ago.

not touch them, and with the help OF
two sticks, which she used like a pail
Of tongs, put them on a camel. Then
there was a long dispute about the
hatchet. No one would touch it; it had
been defiled. OF course, this was pure
affectation and playing to the gallery Oh

The northern press thinks it has a

cause of the peonage practice over in

This practice has been condemned by
every southern paper that has ex-

very few papers failed to take up the
matter at once. But il will be noticed
that notwithstanding the frauds in
the postoffice department of the gov

CUT WORMS CONTINUE RAVAGES
On the Cotton Fields of the Delta
Destroying Thousands of Acres
of Young Plants.
Special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
Greenville, June 6.-The cut
worms have continued their ravages
in the cotton fields of the delta dur
ing the past week destroying thousands
of acresofyoung plants, and the out
look has become so gloomy that many
of the farmers are on the verge of
abandoning all hope of raising a crop
this season.
The cut worm epidemic is the most
d isastrous that has visited the state
for many years, and solely on this
account the crop prospects in six of
the largest delta counties have deter
iorated at least fifty per cent. When
the fact is considered that the normal
prospects were none too good, the sea-
son being from four to six weeks late,
the prospects are about as gloomy as
they we'll could get.
In many instances where replanting
was necessary the crop has been des-
troyed by cut worms, and the plague
is steadily spreading until it threatens
to cover the greater portion of the
delta. Thus far very few COM
plants have come from the hill coun-
ties, where the prospects are fairly
good for an average season.

A farmer over in Jasper county

A farmer over in Jasper county is
advertising for negro whom he hired
for the year, paying his wages in ad-
vance, but who has since left him.
What surprises US is that the negro
stopped long enough to get his hat
after he received his wages. There
is not one in thousand that would
have remained the balance of the year
after receiving his wages and it is
quite surprising that this farmer did
not konw the nature of the negro bet
ter than this.

The lower house of the Virginia
legislature did well the other day
when it sat down on the proposition
to make education compulsory SO far
as it applied 10 forcing parents to
send their children to school. But
that should have no opposite effect on
the legislature of Mississippi in es-
tablishing a reformatroy for the way
ward youth of the state. 1t is no
crime to be ignorant, but it is both a
crime and disgrace for young men
and boys to grow up criminals and
have to be sent to the renitentiary-
and they are preparing themselves to
trot there at rapid rate. Education
generally comes from a natural am
bition to study and to learn, and
while the child may be forced to at
lend school, forcing an education
into his mind is different thing.
But criminally-inclined boy scarcely
ever reforms until extreme remedies
are applied at some period of his life
He must be sent to the penitentiary or
to reformatory ana certainly the
latter would be preferable.

At any rate Carrie Nation method
of breaking up saloons with her lit
tie Ratchet is preferable to the way
it was done at Brookshire, Texas, the
other day. There was a local option
election and it seems that the saloon
side was the winner. Two men got
license and opened their places of
business. At an early hour Thursday
morning the anti saloon people rid
died the place with bullets, breaking
the bottles of whiskey and shooting
holes into the barrels, thus letting out
the contents. That may be one way
to prohibit the sale Of whiskey, but
it is very poor way and cannot be
generally adopted When men resort
to such methods it is evident that
they are not in earnest in suppressing
the sale OF lntOXIcants because 1t Is
degrading to man to drink it, but be-
cause of an evil design to injure the
business of a fellow man with cloak
Of excuse thrown over their shoulders.
The suppression should be Legitimate or
not at all. Besides the Legislature is
supposed to pass laws regulating the
traffic of whiskey and not individ-
