DIES WITHOUT 18th WARNING a RI 'lIl:i
Henry Behnke Passes Away Suddenly
in St. Paul.

Henry Behnke, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Albert Behnke, passed away very
suddenly in St. Paul last Thursday
night. The deceased had been staying
at the home of his brother-in-law,
Robert Hartman, and when he retired
Thursday evening he appeared to be
in his usual robust health. Friday
morning, however, he did not arise
and when his room was entered he was
found dead in bed. His demise was
due to heart trouble.
Henry Behnke was 46 years of age
and unmarried. He was born in New
Ulm July 8, 1857, and the greater
portion of his life was spent in this
city. At an early age he entered Mr..
Behnke's store as clerk and, with
the exception of two years spent as
bookkeeper for the New Ulm Roller
Mill company, he was identified with
the business for nearly thirty years.
When a small boy the deceased ex-
hibited great interest in matters per-
tanning to the profession of medicine
and he thirsted for knowledge of the
human system and the ills to which it
is heir. Much of his leisure time was
spent in study along these lines and
there are many poor and needy persons
who have profted by his proficiency
in healing. About a year ago: upon
the advice of friends, he went to
Arkansas to practice osteopathy and
remained there until few months
ago. This summer he went to St. Paul
and atthe time Ofhis deathwas planning
upon locating in Seattle, Wash.
Besides his parents he is survived
by two brothers, Albert Behnke of
Milwaukee, and Fred Behnke of this
city; and three sisters. Mrs. Robt.
Hartman, St. Paul; Mrs. L. G. Vogel
and Mrs. Ida Schoregge,. New Ulm.
The remains were brought here from
St. Paul Saturday night and at 2
o'clock Monday afternoon funeral
services were held from Turner Hall.
Interment in the city cemetery.

VIM, BUGGERT BEHIND BARS.
Was Arrested Yesterday in Town
of Sigel.
Sheriff Julius Drove Out and Made
Capture. .~. j
Has Been Wanted For Five Years
For Assault.

After having evaded the law for five
years, VIM. Buggert was arrested yes
terday at his home in Sigel township.
Sheriff Julius drove out to his home
and apprehended the man who has
been wanted so long. He was brought
to New Ulm and is now in the county
Jail.
The crime which Buggert is alleged
to have been committed was that of
criminally assaulting Barbara Schla-
gel in 1898. June 21st of that year he
was indicted by the grand jury but as
soon as the Indictment was returned
Buggert deserted his wife and family
and fled from his home.
He enlisted in Co. E, Thirteenth
Minnesota, and went with thatregiment
to the Philippines, serving three years
in the army and spending the remainder
Of his time as a civilian employe of
the government. Recently he returned
from Manila and last Thursday even
ing made his appearance at his farm.
When placed in custody by Sheriff
Julius Buggert exhibited no surprise
and took his arrest stoically. He is
greatly broken in health as a result of
a servere attack ofmalaria during his
stay in the islands but refuses utterly
to discuss his case. If he can raise
81, 500 bail he will be released from
Jail and he expects his wife in this
morning with bondsmen. Buggert will
have his trial at the December term
of court.

DID HE POISON
HIS YOUNG WIFE?
Grand Jury Indicts Well Known
Citizen of Charleston, Ill.,,
for Murder.
Had Been Forced into a Midnight
Marriage-His Wife Died
Suddenly.
New York Sun Special Service.

New York Sun Special Service.
Charleston, I'LL, Nov. Enlarged
with poisoning his young wife, nearly
a year ago, William K. Honn, a men,
Der Of one Of the wealthiest and best
known families in Coles county, has
been placed under arrest here. The
arrest has created a sensation, as Honn
was widely known and respected until
ugly stories regarding the sudden
death of his wife were spread about
several months ago. Honn's bond was
fixed at $1,000 and his trial set for
next week.
Honn was indicted by the grand jury
yesterday, and is charged with the
murder of his wife, who died under
suspicious circumstances last Febru-
airy. Since the death of his wife Honn
has been living with his parents.
Last January Honn was brought to
Charleston by constable and the
father of Miss Mahala GaIbraith, and
Young Honn and Miss Ga1braith had
been playmates from youth. Both
families are we'll connected and wide
ly known.
The young couple made their home
in this city. The wife died suddenly,
and under circumstances that excited
much gossip in the neighborhood at
the time. Honn returned to the home
Of his parents, and the story of Miss
Galbraith's Inflated life was forgotten,
but the grand jury got hold of the
rumors, and found true bill',
against her husband.
Honn's family wealth will be spent
freely to save him, but public opinion
is deeply stirred, and sympathy for
Miss Galbraith's stricken parents will
make strong case against him.

be man who was and is in synpa-
thy with the republican state plat
form of 1902 in it's declaration for the
enforcement of the law against the
merger Of parallel and competing rail-
way lines. No man who was not in
state campaign should have the as
surance to aspire to the governor
ship. The antimerger fight involves
the welfare of the state, and men who
have expressed sympathy for those
who organized the merger and who
have attempted at crucial times to
hamper and ridicule state officers in
their endeavor to enforce the law,
should not now be placed in position
where they might connive at viola
tons of the law and to be helpful in
undoing that which has already been
accomplished. This fight has been
waged in the interests of our people,
and will be continued until the law
has been vindicated and every inter-
est thoroly safeguarded. All the in
genuity and skill of able counsel will
be employed to maintain the merger
in some form and to carry out in some
manner the purposes Of it's organiza-
as having said in New York: The
existence of the company (the North
ern Securities of New Jersey) does
not depend upon the decision of the
supreme court in the federal suit
No corporation or individual should
be permitted to evade the mandates
of the highest court in the land.
No Defensive Nominee.
"Our nominee should not be on the
defensive and required to explain
Promises and explanations which are
made necessary by ones candidacy,
and which are inconsistent with for
mer words and actions, will not suf-
flee.
'.No man who desires the DONNA
| ton of interests inimical to the peo-
pie, and who has not stood squarely
upon the antimerger platform, should
ask, under existing conditions, eleva-
ton to this responsible office; and to
prevent the nomination of such man,
a most determined effort should be
imade.

Ibeen pronounced against the merger,

ment would our. party be in if it NOM

Governor Van SAINT spoke his mind
on state politics this morning. He
declared forcibly against the candi-
dacy of Robert G. Dunn for governor,
in the course of an interview on the
election of Tuesday. No names were
mentioned in the interview, but in a.
most unmistakable way the governor
declares his disapproval of the Dunn
candidacy. He does not say whether
he himself will be candidate, or
whom he favors, but he declares that
the party must not name a, man who
is not in accord with President Roose-
welt on the merger question.

STEEL REACHES
NEW LOW POINT
Trade Conditions Lead to Renewal
of the Bear Assault upon
- Stocks.

New York, Nov. 5.-New low rec
ords were established by the United
States Steel securities on the stock ex-
change to-day. The common stock
sold down to 11B, the preferred to
56M and the per cent bonds to 671s
Trading in these securities was quite
heavy during the first hour.
The remainder of the list, especially
the Standard Railway shares, was not
affected by the decline in steel stocks
In fact, number of railway shares
advanced above yesterdays closing.
There is little doubt that the weak
ness of the steel issues results direct
ly from trade conditions. 1t was
learned to-day that a cut in steel bill
lets had been agreed upon yesterday
aItho it was decided to maintain the
present prices for steel rails 1t il
generally believed that the price Of
certain finished products will be re.
adjusted" which means that they will
be reduced.

RULERS MEETING
A PEACE PLEDGE
Russian Press So Regards Meeting
Of the Gar and Emperor
\ William.
They Kissed Each Other Affection
ately When They Met at
Railway Station

st. Petersburg, Nov. 5.-The meet
ing Of the car and Emperor William
at Wiesbaden yesterday is commented
on by the newspapers here as being
a fresh pledge Of the preservation OF
general peace.
The Novosti's remarks attract espe-
cial attention, as they reiterate the
suggestion of an Anglo Russian rap
procurement, which has been recently
mooted by some Russian publicists
The Novosti contends that the idea
that Russia and Great Britain must
remain rivals is nonsense, and says
the clearest proof Of this is found in
Britain's absolutely peaceful policy
and the influence she has exercised OIL
Japan in the present Russian Japan
csc differences.
The paper sees no reason why 8
more frequent exchange of views, Civ.
ing more intimate knowledge of each
other, should not lead to, an entente
similar to that effected between Grea
Britain and France.

Mr.. Nixon said he began the Cres-
cent shipyard in 1895, and had little
capital except his own ability. He
then objected to the questioning, say
ing: ct don't see why you should go
back eight years. If you can snow
that this inquiry has any bearing on
the proceedings, shall be pleased to
answer, but I see no reason for going
back"
Mr.. Nixon said that his salary was
guaranteed him by William Cramp &
Son and he regarded this as part OF
his capital. Continuing, he said he
organized the Crescent company with
a CAPITAL of s1,200,00O, of which ST.
1877, 900 of the stock was issued on the
property, only $4,000 being paid in
cash.
s.Do you know that the books of the
Crescent company on July 81, 1912.
showed a balance of $215 PIG 2" asked
Mr.. Guthrie.
| .sThe record will show; don't re-
member now" replied the witness.
| ''Do you know that in fact the
books on that date should have shown
| a deficit of over $500,OOO?
| Mr.. Untermeyer here interrupted
with 1--WE are willing to admit that.
Mr.. Nixon said he was willing to an
swer.
.sWait,', exclaimed Mr.. Untermeyer,
eve will admit that if the purpose of
this examination is to show that the
United States Shipbuilding company
was hopelessly insolvent when 1t was
started. We are willing to admit it,
and thus curtail the examination. The
| insolvency of the company is one of
our allegations.
Mr.. Guthrie said that the company
might or might not have been insolv-
ent, but he was not willing to discon-
tinue the present line of questioning.
| Mr.. Guthrie asked when the witness
discovered shrinkage of 100000 in
! the current assets of the United States
Shipbuilding company.
.Isdon't remember that there was
such a shrinkage in the current as
/ SETS replied Mr.. Nixon, there was a
shrinkage of $1,000,000, but do not
remember how it was divided
Mr. Nixon declared that what Mr..
Guthrie termed erroneous entries in
4 the books were not erroneous.
There was difference in the meth
DDS of bookkeeping, said he.
