Street FAIR FOR 1904
WI|lmar Citizens Decide to Inaueu,
rate Movement for Fair on
Bigger Scale than Ever.

About twenty representative citizens
met at the Commercial Club rooms
last Friday evening in response to the
call for meeting for the purpose of
taking up the matter of holding an
other street fair in this city. The meet
ing was presided over by President
Wellin of the Willmar Street Fair AS
ISOLATION.
1t was the unanimous sentiment tn at
another fair should be held and the
dates chosen for the fair of 1904 were
Sept. IA, Is, Is and II, making it a
four days event. The old board of
directors of the Willmar Street Fair
Association is succeeded by the follow
ing who were elected at this meeting:
F. c. Wellin, o. r. Berkness, Russell
Spicer, Ole Rogen, W. J. Pinney, W.
T. Markhus, W. A. Lindquist, John
Williams and S. E. Stansberry. The
officers selected are as follows Russell
Spicer, president; Ole Rogen, vice
president; w. T. Markhns, secretary;
and W. J. Pinney, treasurer.
1t is proposed to make this years
fair banner one over all it's pre-
decessors, and with that end in view
the association asks for the hearty
cooperation of all citizens of the
county. The matter of furnishing the
required amount to properly finance
theaffair is up to the Willmar people
and as all previous fairs have proven
profitable to the business men it is
thought there will be no trouble in
raising enough funds.
Last years street fair was one ol
the most successful held in this state
and Secretary Markhus states that i,
ranked next to the Winona fair, which
is indeed quite hattering. With such
a reputation established, there ough
not to be any trouble in sustaining i
and looking toward an even higher
mark. Another meeting will be called
by the directors inside of a couple o
weeks, when further plans will be for
mulated and the work of pushing TO
the big fair of 1904 will be commence
in earnest.

SlUGGED AND ROBBED
Laborer is Assaulted by Highway.
men and Robbed Of Money
and Valuables.

August Kueter, laboring man who
halls here from Breckenridge, was the
victim Of dastardly assault last
Friday night at the hands of q couple
of highwaymen. He was relieved of
all the money Oh his person, amount
ing to about nine dollars, and a gold
watch valued at $50. A pair of s2
gloves we're also taken. The robbers,
however, overlooked q nickel, or per-
haps were considerate enough to leave
that much for their victims street car
fare into Willmar. The robbery was
committed about mile west of the
city, near the big railroad cut.
According to Kueter's story he was
first attacked by receiving q hard
blow back OF his left ear, the weapon
used being a rock, after which he was
choked by his assailants. While one
Of them held him by the throat, the
other went through his pockets and
secured the valuables. He was left In
an unconscious condition, but soon
recovered and made haste to report
the affair to the police in this city.
The robbery was committed about IL
O'Clock, and it was near the midni ght
hour when he arrived here and told
his story to Night Marshal Stephens.
All efforts to trace the men we're futile.
In response to q telegram from Clara
City, Sheriff Lundquist, accompanied
by Kueter, went there on Saturday
night to identify COUPE OF suspects
who were held by the police, but they
were not the parties wanted.
| Kueter described his assailants as
follows: One was about ) feet, 9 in
ches in height, had light moustache,
and wore q light summer coat. The
other is described as being trifle
shorter. He had a sandy complexion
and his face was smooth shaven. He
wore duck coat. Another thing the
victim had noticed on one of the men
was an ugly knife cut drawn across
the breast, which made it appear as if
he had been in some encounter quite
recently. Kueter had learned these
facts at Kerkhoven, where he had met
the men in a restaurant and where al
three took dinner on Friday. They
had und GU btedly planned the attack
upon him when it was learned that he
was about to take tie pass to Will
, mar and were only waiting for q fav-
orable opportunity and place to per-
petrate the deed. Possessed of the
knowledge that he had some money
they had watched his movements anG
the opportunity came at An hour wher
> they could easily make their escape
Kueter is q German laborer anG
claims that he was in search Of rail
? road work. He says that he owns
property at Breckenridge and has a
brother residing on farm south o1
that city. His destitute conditior
. forced him to telegraph for assistance
and he was in the meantime given the
. necessary aid here.
e No clue to the robbers has yet been
found and they are still At large a
