WILD PLUNG DOWN SHAFT
Sleepy Eye Miller Falls Four Stories,
But Lives.

After fall of four stories down the
elevator shaft at the Sleepy Eye mill
last Wednesday Jacob Schmidt lies in
the hospital in this city with a broken
thigh bone and several minor bruises.
That he escaped instant death is a
great wonder.
The elevator in the mill consists of
platforms on a broad leather belt
which runs over wheel at the top of
the building. On reaching the top the
platforms go over the wheel and are
reversed, coming down on the other
side. Schmidt forgot to jump when
he reached the top and when he saw
he was going to be carried over the
wheel fell backward and struck the
bottom floor four stories down.
Schmidt was "a years old had been
in the employ of the Sleepy Eye com
pany only few weeks, having resided
in New Ulm before going there. His
mother, an aged woman, is making
her home at the St. Alexanderhospit

VICTIM OF GUN ACCIDENT
A. w. Case of Sleepy Eye Shot in
Head Sunday.
Expected to Recover, But May Lose
Use of One Eye.
Case an Onlooker-Hunters Were
Casting Off in Launch.

Shot in the head by the accidental
discharge of a shot gun, A. w. Case
of Sleepy Eye, now and for many years
agent for the Standard Oil company,
lies at his home in a dangerous condi-
ton. although his physician expresses
hope for his recovery.
The accident happened Sunday and
the gun was held in the hands of George
A. Genres, employed in the jewelry
store of Christ Arveson. Genres,
Arveson and mannamed Christensen
were going hunting on Sleepy Eye
Such talk was a breach of the peace
and he was promptly arrested and
taken into the presence of Justice Peter
Geschwind, who fined him $50 and
costs, amounting in all to S25.2 20.
Arves had no money and was promptly
sent to jail. He had no money but he
had a pony, and sending for his en-
ployer. Peterson, he made a bargain
by which Peterson was to pay the fine
duu receive Ullo HOISS dllu IAifCo w eto
! to go back to work at his old job.
Then followed two days of quiet in
which Arves was doing a lot of think
ing on the swiftness of justice in Brown
county and the pony he had lost.
Thinking led to action and Wednesday
night it is claimed he went stealthily
to the barn where the horses were
kept, saddled the pony which had been
his, took an overcoat from the wagon,
as the night air was chilly, and then
being of musical turn of mind tucked
an ACCORDION under his arm and rode
away.
The next day the loss was discovered
and the Sleepy Eye police notified.
Thursday afternoon Sheriff Julius was
called up and asked to take the affair
in charge, and telephone messages
were sent in every direction, but with
out result. The man seems to have
made good his escape.

PAYS ASSAULTER'S fine
Man Thrashed and Enemy ReCOnCiled
in Court.

Rather a remarkable reconciliation
between enemies occurred in Justice OF
the Peace Brandt's Offices last Wed
nesday when two young men from
Sigel, one of them in court charged
with assault and battery by the other,
shook hands and made up. More than
this the fine imposed was paid by the
complaining witness.
Lorenz Kral was the youth under
arrest and the man who charged him
with doing him bodily harm was Henry
Krambeer. The fight took place sever
al days before. Kral made no defense
and pleaded guilty.
It did not seem right to Justice
Brandt that these young men, both
manly fellows, should remain enemies
and he persuaded them to make up.
They clasped hands and vowed to be
friends hereafter.
Then the rub came. Kral had nc
money to pay his fine of S. and $3.50
costs, and to prove that he nc
longer bore any malice Krambeer dug
into his own pocket and produced the

taught and many colud not teach that

taught and many colud not teach that
branch.
Another very agreeable feature is
that most of the teaching force of
Brown county this year has had more
or less normal training, thus making
their work more acceptable as we'll as
more profitable to the district they
teach.
In the total of eighty-six teachers in
the county there are twenty first-grade
and the remainder second-grade
teachers.
One noticeable feature is the small
number of male teachers in the county.
Three years ago Supt. Cutting had in
his corps, thirty-nine male teachers,
last year twenty-seven and this year
only eleven. The steady decrease
shows that male teachers are steadily
leaving the profession and going into
other lines of business.
Another very gratifying thing is that
the districts pay better salaries. Many
districts pay $50 a month. Five years
ago salaries were as low as 1926 and
very few as much as $50. Better
scholarship has compelled the dis
tricts to pay better salaries and at
least a dozen schools in the county
pay $50 a month.

The Reward of a Charitable Act
Done at Sleepy Eye.

''This. country isn't good enough
for me, [ don't like the way they treat

but recently released from jail through
the kindness Of his employer whom he
had threatened to shoot, and taking
his employers overcoat and several
other articles, it is alleged, he skipped
out in the night to parts unknown.
Sheriff Julius is now looking for him.
Peter Peterson is the victim. Peter
son, Or "Swede Pete" as he is called,
is a horse trader who for several
years has operated in New Ulm,
Sleepy Eye and in Brown county gener-
ally, and he has in his employ most
OF the time a hired man. With the
last batch of horses he received there
came along as a kind of shoot" the
hired man Arves. This was only a
few days before the finishing act.
Arves is a big, strapping fellow
much addicted to the stein, and it hap
pened that Monday of last week when
he was feeling particularly savage he
strutted into one of the livery barns
in Sleepy Eye.
'I'll fix that blankty blank Pete, :"
he shouted, pulling out 44-calibre
revolver and fourishing it around his
head, just wait until [ get him out on
the prairie alone some time and I'll
plug him so full of holes that people
will take him for a bullet factory"

 sWas it the same old pain you had the last time you were hereT asked Prosecutor McAfahon in the city court to-day.
 .sNo, indeed, sir" replied Casey, very mildly.
 Were you drunk yesterday?" asked the prosecutor.
 "Indeed, sir, was and wasn't" was Casey's paradoxical answer.
 Oficer Cassin testified he found Car sey on West Main street at 1 o'clock, plainly under the influence of strong drink, and being unable to take care of himself, the officer deemed 1t prudent to sstake him in.' Casey stated that he was seized with a pain in his side and took some drug which he bought in drug store in the west end. His story would have served his purpose had he not been before the court q month ago. He was fined by Judge Burpee $5 and costs and put on thirty days probation.

MONEY ALL GONE.
And Board of Public Works Has
 Much Work Ahead.

Notwithstanding the size of the ap- propriations made for the present ad- ministration for the current year, it seems the money is all gone and now they are looking for money and of course they'll have to get it. The preliminary step to an additional ap- propriation was taken last week by the department of public works when attention was called to the need of re- pairing the old sewer on North Willow street. The necessity of this was re- cognized last year and the work done from Johnson street to Hillside avenue, the understanding being that the bal ance of the job would be taken up the first thing in the spring. But it seems nobody gave it thought while there was anything at the disposal of the sewer board, but curiously enough a big sensation was made over 1t as soon as all the money on hand had been disposed of In other places. To fur ther the project, two meetings were held this afternoon, one by the board of public works and the other by the commissioners of finance. The mayor presided at both sessions. All hands wore very anxious faces and one would think that it was by the merest chance and the closest watching that the con- dition of the old ditch on North Will low street was discovered, although ev- erybody has been talking about it since it was converted into a sewer sixteen or seventeen years ago. Or course, this is a matter of repairs and all the aldermen will have to do with it will be to furnish the sinews of war. The board of public. works re- commended that a short strip of sew- CT be constructed in Bishop street, from the present termination of the sewer in that street to Pine street, and also recommended favorable action on.special appropriat tons, one of s$7,r GOO for storm water drainage, and an- other of $3,OOO for sewers, new work. Then the question arose as to whether the money was available or not and nobody could tell anything about thds until the board of finance got together, a feat which was accomplished before the seats vacated by the board of pub lie works had time to cool off. Great anxiety existed regarding the report which Comptroller Goodrich was to make relative to unappropriated reven- ues and when it was announced thar the munificent sum of $14,924.96 un- appropriated revenues had been found in the office a sigh of relief went up from every breast and all breathed cas- fer, Nobody asked the comptroller where he found 1t, under his desk or in the waste basket, it being sufficient to know that 1t was within reach. It brought out something which every body knew long ago, although 1t was stubbornly denied in certain quarters that the receipts from liquor licenses amounted to more than was figured upon when the annual estimates were being made out Anyway, statement of the why and the wherefore of the
 money and the need of removing Sl,- GOO of the pile was read and passed along to the aldermen with a very pressing request to authorize the ex- penditure of the amount mentioned, S1OOOO.
