Wounded at the Front.

When Major Louis e.. Vogel, of
Gen. Bobleter's staff, returned from
camp Sunday evening he looked as
though he had survived disastrous
experience on the firing line. He car
ried his arm in a sling and had all
the earmarks of a battle-scarred war
rior. Major Vogel's badly disfgured
appearance was due to- a broken arm
which he received during his brief
absence from New Ulm. Enroute to
Lake City Friday afternoon he had
the misfortune to fall in the train, sus-
tanning a painful injury to the arm.
Atfrst it was thought that his wrist
was sprained and upon his arriv al
at camp he was relieved from all
duty and placed on hospital fare.
But upon returning home Monday
morning he had the member examined
by the X-ray and it was then discov-
cred that one of the bones was frac-
tured. He will be able to supervise
the work about the auditors Office but
his injury will interfere with his duties
for some time to come.

Friday from his eastern trip, where he
went to select his fall stock Of cloth
ing. While absent he visited New
York City and Boston and informs
the Review that he encountered very
warm weather. In both cities the
suffering from heat is intensified by
reason OF the great humidity Of the
atmosphere, the moisture from the sea
breezes tending to produce a very
murky condition. Mr.. Hummel states
that no where did he see finer crops
than in Minnesota. The far eastern
states have. suffered from lack Of

FOR WIDOWS
Soldiers Wives to File on Land III
South Dakota.
Clever Devise of Cattlemen to Pro.
tect Interests.
They Pay Expenses OF Ladies Who
:. Take up Claims.

Widows of soldiers who fought in
the great civil war of 1876 are to
profit by the efforts Of, large cattle
companies in South Dakota to stem
the tide of colonization and keep their
grazing preserves free from settlement.
These ladies will be taken to Pierre,
S. D., at the expense Of the cattle
men, be given assistance in filing upon
homesteads and after proving up may
dispose Of their holdings or secure a
clear title to the property. =
The situation in South Dakota at
the present time is peculiar. For years
the breeding of cattle for the market
has been one of the principal industries
of the state and its wonderful growth
and development to gigantic pro-
portions is due solely to the fact that
the cost of grazing has been prac-
tically infnitesimal. Millions of acres
of government land have been used as
ranges: over which the cattle roamed
at will and put on fat during the
summer months; but now the live stock
interests are confronted with a con-
dition which threatens to disrupt their
business. - .-~.:E
Settlers have been thronging into
the country and filing upon the land,
gradually forcing the cattlemen west
ward. Naturally each newcomer selects
|, a claim on the banks of some river or
other waterway and in this manner
the ranges are being encroached upon
with great rapidity. Water for the
vast herds is indispensable and as the
fences of the colonists bar their animals
from the streams, the cattle owners
are compelled to relinquish the use of
large tracts of land lying between the
rivers and retreat to more unsettled
localities where the water supply is
not interrupted. Each year there is an
increase in the number Of pioneers
who desire to take up claims and at
last, in desperation, the cattlemen set
about for method OF removing the
menace. ...@s &
1t was found that under an old act
of congress the widows of veterans of
the civil war were entitled to home
steads of 100 acres each. They might
file upon any land belonging to the
United States but were not required to
reside thereon Or improve their claims
in any way. At the expiration of five
years they could proven and obtain
title, except that the length of enlist
ment served by the husband was de-
Quoted from the period stipulated
that woman whose husband had been
in the army for three years might
prove up two years after fling.

pany of Pierre, but while here repre-
sented the cattlemen. His first step
was to inquire for Jacob Klossner,
Jr., commander of Hecker Post, g. A.
r., and with that gentle he called
upon number of widows.
The proposition he made to the ladies
was that his principals would agree to
pay their travelling expenses to the
United States land Office at Pierre, and
keep them without cost to themselves
while absent from their homes. In
South Dakota they would be helped to
file upon a homestead, but is desired
that these be located along streams.
At the proper time they would assume

Pierre for proving up. In return they
asked for a lease of the land for five
years and also agreed to pay each
widow 5000 for her homestead when
the title was securely vested. This
last, however, is optional with the
owner and she is not obliged to sell
unless she so desires.
Mr.. Wallace's offer appealed to a
number Of ladies residing in this city
and yesterday a party Of ten left for
Pierre over the Northwestern. The
party was composed of Mesdames
Pelzel, Neemann, Schwerr, Meile,
Mowery ,Classen, Exner. Glass, Baasen
and Julius and they will avail them
selves of the arrangement which
promises returns to them without in

CLAIM TITLE is GL0UDED.
Suit Against Local Merchant By
Mankato Women.
They Would Set Aside Deed
Given to the Former.
Controversy is Over Valuable Pro
perty on State Street.

Z
Papers were served here Saturday
by Attorney J. 81. Long of Mankato,
in an ejectment suit brought by Mrs.
Anna Hofer and her daughters, Bertha,
Amelia, Caroline and Pauline Goede,
against William Durbahn, proprietor
of the State street grocery. The action
is a very complicated one and is in
stituted by Mrs. Hofer and her
daughters for the purpose Of recover
ing possession of valuable property on
Third North street.
In the complaint served upon Mr..
Durbahn the plaintiffs allege that
Henry sGoede, the former husband of
Mrs. Hofer and father of her children,
was at one timethe owner of a lot and a
half at the corner of State and Third
North streets, containing store build
ing and a dwelling, their homestead.
The exact description on the property
is lot and the southeastly half of lot
y, block, 100, North New Ulm. In 1890
Goede borrowed 81, 900 from Mr. acob
Pfenninger, giving the latter a deed to
the premises as security for the loan.
| Within year afterwards, plaintiffs
claim, Chas. Grussendorf and VIM.
Durbahn approached Goede with a
view to purchasing his store. When
he declined they intimated that it was
their intention to open for business
across the street and fearing this com
petition Goede at length disposed OF
his holdings for 2,4O0, "a sum which
they designate as trihing and below
the actual value of the real estate.
Goede, however, agreed to let them
have the property but his wife refused
to sign the deed. They then informed
her that her signature was not neces-
sary and the transfer was effected by
having Mr.. Pfenningerg ivea warranty
deed directly to the buyers without
signing it back to the Goodies and then
to Grussendorf and Durbahn.
This, the complaint. says, is an
irregularity and leaves cloud on the
title. No convey ance made by Goede
is Of record and if one had been made
it would be absolutely void under the
law without the wife's signature, since
| it was theirhomestead. The contention
of the plaintiffs is that the deed held
by Mr.. Pfenninger amounted to
nothing more than a mortgage and
that they are still the owners of the
property, subject to the 81, 200
mortgage. AS the present owner and
occupant has not lived on the premises
for fifteen years he does not come into
4 the property through adverse posses
sion and the plaintiffs are not barred
out by the statute of limitations; there
fore they will ask that the transfer be
set aside
Since the original purchase was
made Mr.. Durbahn has bought Mr..
Grussendorf's interest and is now the
sole possessor. He has improved the
| property in various ways and its value
is now estimated at about $40, 900. He
has not yet retained counsel but will
do so before the case comes up at the
December term.
