PIERCE J is PACEMAKER.

Larsen nad the mount on Pierce j
and cut out the pace for about seven
eighths of a mile. Then Hildebrand sat
down on his mount and Bill Massie
simply rolled home first. G. W. Ira
hern ran third behind the favorite.
Oliphant distinguished himself
again in the five and a half furlong
sprint, for which selection Rustic
Girl, Glendenning, The Pride, Aunt
Polly, Titus and Fort Wayne declined
the issue. This made Lady Bimbo
look the most eligible of those left in
and the filly opened a to 1 chance.
Despite the play on her the odds re-
ceded to 4, the most play being on
Brennus, which was backed from 6 to
4. Brennus won galloping from
Flyer, with Goddess of Night third.
OIiphant got left at the post almost
with Lady Bimbo and was never in
the running.
Scherzo opened equal favorite with
Creole Jim for the final mile selling
run In a previous race ScherZo had
shown a dislike for sloppy going and
Tommy Burns was fortunate to finish
third. By a close turn into the
stretch Hildebrand on Bombardier
shook off the bunch and at the wire
finished more than three lengths in
front of Creole Jim, the post favorite.
NOTES OF THE TRACK.
The stable of Charley McCafferty
was restored to good standing by the
stewards yesterday.
For assaulting H. Magill in the pad
deck on Wednesday, Hiram Pierce
was suspended and denied all privi-
leges of the track until May l by the
stewards.
Schwalbe pulled up lame yesterday
morning after a workout. and Barney
Schrefber said his mare would not
go to the post for the Burns handi-
cap tomorrow.
Sacredus, from the Jennings stable,
is a. shifty mudlark and will undoubt-
edly be a starter in the big race to-
morrow. His weight is 100 pounds,
and Charley Connell has the mount.
Mike DAILY welcomed the downpour
of rain as the maiden lady does leap
year. Claude is a notorious mudlark
and had he not lost a plate might
have captured "the Burns" last year.
Hildebrand rode three winners. Joe
Yeager's lightweight had but four
mounts, which makes the feat very
creditable one.

FELL AND BROKE A LEG.
Peter Druckenbrodt, an Aged Carpen-
ter, Injured This Morning.
From Saturdays Daily.

Peter Druckenbrodt, carpenter, aged
about fifty years, was at work on the
roof of John A. Lulsdorf's house on
South Second street this morning about
seven o'clock, when he slipped on the
frost and fell to a metallic roof below.
His right leg was caught under him
in such way as to cause serious
fracture of both bones n two different
places. The large bone was split up in
to the knee joint. In two or three places
the bones protruded through the skin.
A blood vessel of considerable size was
cut through by fragment of bone
The man now lies at the St. Joseph's
hospital. 1t is feared that he may not
recover from the shock and loss of
blood. At his earnest request an effort
is being made to save the limb. The
broken fragments have been wired to-
gether with silver.

WINTER WILL BE MILD.
Muskrats Are Building Their Houses
Very Poorly This Fall.
From TUESDAYS Daily

from tuesdays Daily.
Muskrats, the long tailed denizens of
the streams, lakes and ponds of Min
nesota, are building very poorly this fall
and Indian weather prophets have pre-
dicted very decisively, an open winter,
filled with much sunshine, little snow
and very few billiards. The muskrat
houses this fall are very shallow and the
little creatures themselves are at the
present time daily basking in the warm
rays of the November sun rather than
following up their usual vocation at this
time of the year, that of piling brush,
sticks and mud upon their houses and
getting things Struggled up for the win
ter.
The only thing which this unusual
state of muskrat affairs stand for, ac-
cording to old settlers and weather
prophets, both of Indian and white va
riety, is an open Inter and people
who have followed the actions of the
little animals in the past, are GER
tain that they do not foretell in vain,
and are resting easy on the fuel score
They say Minnesota will enjoy one of
the clearest, warmest and most open
winters in a number of years and that
the coal dealers will not find the season
anywhere near as profitable as the one
a year ago.-Fairmont Sentinel.

Another Crop of Rumors Is
Set AfIoat Today.
New UIm Is Filled With Detec-

Especial to The Free Press.l

New Ulm, Nov. DR. L. A. Gebhard's
murderer is not yet in the tolls of the
law, although twenty detectives and
several Twin City newspaper men are
working hard on the mysterious case.
Up to date no Sherlock Holmes has made
his appearance and succeeded in throw
ing the limelight on the fiend who cut off
the young dentists life. An unusually
large crop of new rumors are afloat.
Billie Baxter, the irrepressible Mic
Carter, who came to town Saturday, is
of the opinion that the SLAYER of the den
fist is woman who disguised herself
as man, but few people are inclined to
take much stock in "Billie's" deduction.
Mr.. Brooks, who saw the murderer, does
not believe he was gazing into the eyes
of a woman when he looked over the
transom. By the by, Editor Brooks has
almost given way under the nervous
strain. He feels his position most keen
ly, and is aware of the suspicion that
rests upon him that he is not telling all
he knows. Were it not for the fact that
more suspicion would be cast in his di-
rection, he would leave the city and 90

Assistant Superintendent Callahan of
the Pinkerton Detective agency reached
New Ulm Saturday evening and he i'm

81 800 reward hung up for the murderer's
capture has brought to the city a
number of ''fy-bobs", and each one has

William Snider, Stranger, Found
With Skull Crushed.
Before Dying StartIes Nurses
With Exclamation.
Was Thought That a Train Had
Struck the Man.
Especial to The Free Press.]

New Ulm, Nov Has another muir
der been committed under the shadow of
New Ulm? This is the question that the
residents of this place are asking them
selves today? The excitement over the
Gerhard murder is at fever heat, and
what appears to be second tragedy has
added fuel to the flames.
Sunday morning about day light
William Snider, stranger, was picked
up alongside of the Northwestern rail
road track, about mile and half
east of this city. His skull was frac-
twed, and it was thought that he had
been struck by a train; but the con-
had been struck by fast moving train
his death would have been almost in
slant. Snider was discovered by the
crew of an incoming train and brought
to the city. He was removed to the hos
pital where he fingered in an unconscious
condition until last night. Just before he
died he partially came to himself and
cried out twice OF three times, Murder.
Murder" The nurses in attendance
heard the dying mans exclamation and
reported it to the police.
An inquest was in progress this after
noon.
Snider was about fifty-fve years of
age and from papers in his possession
he is suspected of having come from

Council Votes to Return Bonds,
Furnished TardiIy.
New Bids May Be Called for
Next Spring.
New Location for Pest House,
Lights Ordered.
From Saturdays Daily.

The council meeting last night was
not long one, nor was great deal
of business transacted The most i'm
portant action taken was the refusal of
the council to approve the bonds of the
Mccarthy Improvement company. This
virtually throws the whole paving mat
ter overheard, for the bonds are to be
returned to the company. The latter
has itself to blame for this action, for
the council stood ready to close the
contract with it had it acted promptly
in the matter of furnishing bonds, in
stead of allowing the best part of the
fall to go by in what appeared to be
series of intentional delays.
1t may be that the council will ask
for new bids in the spring, and if
there is any general sentiment on the
street for brick pavement in preference
to asphalt it should be made known to
the council However, if a reactionary
council is elected next spring, further
street Improvement may be delayed for
several years.
President Porter presented the letter
which he had received from the Me-
earthly Improvement company, relating
to its street paving contract, asking
that the contracts be signed or the
bonds returned. This letter has already
been published by The Free Press. The
letter was accepted and placed on file.
| Aid. Jorgensen moved that the bonds
furnished by the company be approved,
the contracts approved, and the city
recorder directed to sign the contracts.
The motion was lost, only Aids. Jorgen
sen and Schroeder voting 'aye." The
other four aldermen voted "no."
Aid. Kleinschmidt moved that the
bonds be returned to the company, as
requested in the letter.
Aid. Jorgensen asked whether this
would not leave the city liable to the
coHupdHy lOI udlildSeS. ne Sdlu tHtC
the company has been to great deal of
expense, bid in good faith, and it would
be wrong to turn it down now.
AID Mckinley was in favor of throw
ing the whole matter over and advertis-
ing for bids on brick pavement, as the
people seem to want that kind of paving.
Aid. Roemer stated that the company
would be liable to penalty of $50 day
for non-fullfillment of the contract in
the time limit. 1t would be better for
the company to lose the contract, as it
could not pay such forfeit.
AID Kleinschmidt explained that it
was his idea in making the motion that
lower bids could be secured in the
spring.
The motion was carried, four to two.
An agreement was received from some
of the property owners, that they would
pay certain sums toward grading the
extension of Liberty street across the
railway track, if the city would have
the work done and pay the balance.

SUGGESTS A FISH CAR.
Statement Made by Fullerton as to the
Moving OF Fish.
From Tuesdays Daily.

According to reports received by S.
F. Fullerton, executive agent of the
state game and fish commission, there
are few northern duck this season. He
has received reports from several of the
wardens in the northwestern part of the
state and they all write that the hunt
ers are still waiting for the northern
ducks and geese.
''The weather has been too warm for
good duck hunting this season." said
Mr.. Fullerton "1he ducks do not fly in
this weather and all that the hunter
can do it to lie in ambush and wait.
There are large number of camps near
the lakes in the northern and western
part of the state and but few hunters
report good luck"
Mr. Fullerton said, in speaking of the
increased demand each year for stock
ING the lakes of Minnesota with fish,
that he will ask in his report for fish
car.
at is very unfortunate that this state
with its 10000 lakes has not more ade
quate means for transporting fish from
one lake to another. Under the present
system of moving the fish in cans from
the hatcheries to the different lakes it
is wonderful that we get the results that
we do. If Minnesota had only fish
car equipped with aquaria and other
proper apparatus for moving fish the
results would be much better
NEARLY every state which makes any
pretense at stocking its lakes has fish
car Even Pennsylvania, which when
compared to Minnesota has very little
need for fish car, has an elegantly
equipped car. 1t would cost the state
more than $1,000 TO equip such car
and it would pay for itself in the re-
suits achieved.
'Now that we have two fish hatch
cries in the state it will be almost neces-
sary for the state TO carry on the work
of the department properly. Under the
present system of moving the fish in
cans much time and many fish are lost"

Captain Fred Day states that Com

where it can have indoor target practice

reduced strength will be used. 1t is too
late to build an armory, and the captain
feels that the company will never be on

building. He has received about thir
ty replies from letters which he sent to
businessmen in regard to the armory
question. These men as rule do not
approve of the attitude of the firemen

SERIOUS RUNAWAY.
MIR. and Mrs. James Hcdson and Boy
Injured Yesterday.
Er0rra MAnda We nniln


A serious runaway occurred yester-
day afternoon, resulting in Mr.. and Mrs.
James Hodson and their nine veac old
son, Jay, sustaining injuries. With an
other son, the family were driving in the
country, and when in the ravine near
Ed. Ores farm, about three miles south
east of the city, the bolt that holds
the tongue to the buggy came out, let
ting the tongue fall at the horses heels
This startled them, and they overturned
the buggy and pulled Mr.. Hodson over
the dashboard. They then broke away
and dashed back to the city. They were
caught near the Odd Fellows block.
Mrs. Hodson received the most serious
injuries. Two ribs on her left side were
broken. Mr.. Hodson received some
scratches upon his forehead, and his left
shoulder was badly famed by falling
upon it. Jay got his knee and nose
bumped but he was able to be about to-
day. The other boy escaped without in
jury.
The family were taken to their home,
S23 South Second street, and their in
juries were attended to by a physician.
1t is very fortunate that they escaped
as easily as they did.
