Water Tank COLLAPSED.

The railroad water tank at the depot
burst shortly after IL o'clock Wednesday
morning and in the fall of the timbers
VIM. Powers, baggageman for the COM
pany, was caught under the debris and
quite seriously injured. A deep gasn
was cut over one eye and when taken
from the wreck was bleeding profusely
and in dazed condition. He was sent
to the office of Dr.. McManus to have
his wounds dressed and then to his home
where his water soaked clothing was re-
moved The express Office. standing al
most under the shadow of the tank,
caught the full force of the falling tim
bers and rush of water which moved the
building slightly from it's foundation,
crushed in the window on the west side
of the building and the flood of water
nearly drowned the occupants of the Of
fee as we'll as water soaking the express

think that second deluge had come.
Had the main frame Of tank fallen
towards the express building instead of
away from it the structure would doubt
less have been crushed like an egg shell
by the weight.
The immediate cause of the collapse
was due to the breaking of the iron hoops
that bound the tank together. One of
these snapped early in the morning and
another broke about ten minutes before
the final crash came. The breaking of
the hoops of course threw greater
strain upon the others which in turn
broke until the heavy volume of water
burst it's confines. The tank held 1900
barrels and was nearly filled at the time
and the releasing of that amour. of
water of course flooded the neighbor-
hood Much of the wood liz the tank
was found to be badly rotted and hoops
rusted and the wonder is that it stayed
together so long as it did.

j Severe Bruises.
While returning from Peters & Sons
Strengthening house with load of meat
Tuesday afternoon the team driven by
Ed Peters and Robt. Attlesey ran away
and both were thrown out and quite
badly injured. The team was hooked so
closely that in descending the Catholic
church hill the sleigh runners struck the
heels of the horses frightening them so
they started to run. As often as the
driver pulled up on the lines the sleigh
would again strike their heels and they
were soon going at a wicked speed.
Near the Heddles lumber Office the
team was turned into large pile of cord
wood where the whole outfit went into a
heap. Both men were thrown in the
collision on top OF the team, one Of the
horses afterwards falling upon Mr.. At
tlesey. Help was soon at hand to
straighten out the mixup. Mr.. Attlesey
was found to be in an unconscious con-
dition when released and was taken to
Wilson Bros. store, physician called
and afterwards taken home. While no
bones appear to have been broken he
was badly shaken up and bruised and
was in a sort Of dazed condition for some
time thereafter. Peters was famed up
and bruised about the hip but is able to
hobble about The sleigh was consider
ably broken up but altogether it is con-
sidered fortunate affair that nothing
more serious resulted from the runaway.

common council has given an electric
line franchise that the promoters of a
Madison GAINESVILLE trolley road cannot
accept. Last year the Clough franchise
was permitted to lapse because of the
Limitation of time to 80 years. This time
the freight carrying privileges asked for
are amended and the promoters say it is
not satisfactory. So another trolley pro-
iect has gone by the boards. Monday
evening the GAINESVILLE council passed by
vote of to 3 an amended franchise
granting the Southern Interurban Co,
an entry into that city for the proposed
Madison-J anesville trolley line. This
amended franchise gives the local com
pany so year franchise and the privi-
lege to carry packages, parcels and bag
gage. Although given by law ninety
days in which 20 file their answer, it is
plain enough to be seen now where the
company stands by the following re-
marks made by Attorney w. G.. Wheeler
for the company, who stated to the coun-
Gil:
1.-The company does not ask for the
passage of the substitute and will not
agree to build the road if the substitute
is passed, on account of restrictions in
the freight carrying clause. The COM
pany had been assured in advance that
substantially the same terms in regard
/ to freight as asked for in the original ap-
plication would be insisted upon by the
parties furnishing the money to build
the road. The substitute materially
abridges the freight carrying privileges
and it is probable that under this sub
stitute it will be impossible to procure
the money with which to build the line"
1t has become matter of record that
this is the third project to reach the
franchise giving stage that has ended in
failure. The field is now open for other
promoters.

were made for still larger feet of

Canadian Sugar Plant Seeks Location a
GAINESVILLE.

According to The Recorder, GAINESVILLE
factory, and it will have no connection
with the firm now contracting for beets
in GAINESVILLE.
This new proposition, which has been
made to Secretary A. E. Bingham Of the
Business Mems association. comes from
Dresden, Canada, which is located about
forty miles from Detroit.
Last Thursday afternoon a meeting
was quietly held in this city to consider
a proposition made in person by August
Hopke of Dresden, Canada.
Mr.. Hopke informed the gentlemen
present that he was sent to the United
States to look for suitable location to
move the plant that is now running at
Dresden and which cost 100000.
He further stated that he had been to
Menomonee Falls, Wis.,, and was there
informed by President Wagner of the
Wisconsin Sugar Company that the Me-
nomonee Falls firm would abandon any
intention in the future of locating beet
sugar plant in GAINESVILLE if the Dresden
company decided to build in GAINESVILLE.
From Menomonee Falls Mr.. Hopke
went to Green Bay and then to Madison,
where he consulted with Prof Henry of
the state university, who highly recon-
| mended GAINESVILLE as most desirable
location for such an extensive plant.
Mr.. Hopke, while in GAINESVILLE, in
formed the committee of business men
here that the factory did not pay his
firm in Canada simply because they
could not secure the desired acreage of
beets there and also because the Cana
dian merchants seemed to be unwilling
to push the sale of the goods.
|. When here, Mr.. Hopke asked for a
cash bonus and also said that about
thirty acres of land we'll located near the
railroad and where good water could be
! secured. would be necessary.
He was taken to Spring Brook and
shown property and was also shown de-
sirable sites on the John Comstock
place in the Second ward and also the
Reddles farm near the brick yard in
the First ward.
Monday Secretary Bingham stated
that he had received a letter from the
Dresden company stating that they
thought we'll enough of GAINESVILLE as a
site to send committee here to investi
gate and report on same, and that said
committee would arrive in GAINESVILLE
within the next few days.
Local business men interested in the
plan of securing the Canadian plant will
do all in their power to bring the same
here when the committee arrives.
The bringing here of a 100000 plant
alreadyin operation would be no small
task, but such factory the citizens of
GAINESVILLE can not afford to let slip
through their hands.
Mr.. Hopke, while in the city, is said to
have stated that President Wagner in
formed him at Menomonee Falls that
the Wisconsin Sugar company has never
at any time seriously considered the
proposition OF erecting beet sugar fac
tory in GAINESVILLE and that they merely
sent here such report so that they
could get the amount of acreage in Rock
county that they wanted for raising
beets and shipping the same to Menomo-
nee Falls.
The Dresden company is spoken well
of in financial way and is said to be
backed by no end of cash.

TO TRY M,CLEhRY'S PLAN
Bill to Amend National Banking Laws
on Tapis.

Washington dispatches say that it
would not be surprising if one Of the
bills reported from the committee on
banking and currency of the house at
this session shall be measure topper
nit national banks to loan a certain
percentage of their funds up to such
named percentage Of their capital upon
real estate security.
A bill for that purpose has received
the favorable report of a subcom-
mittee, and it is not improbable that
the full committee will indorse it. The
plan has been under consideration in
congress for several years. It was first
proposed by Representative McCleary
Of Mankato, but it has made slow
progress on account of the opinion
prevailing that the national banks
should have their assets all in quick
securities to be realized on within the
shortest possible time, just as in the
case of commercial paper.
But the impression is gaining ground
that substantial real estate security,
being perfectly safe, might be awaited
of in small amounts, and this would
be benefit to the banks in the small
towns Of the West, and an accom-
mediation to the people.

Cut Down Clock Wire.

The Western Union Telegraph com
pany had an unusual experience with
the cold snap last week. The wire
regulating their big clocks passes over
the roof of the New Ulm Roller mill,
several feet above an exhaust pipe. In
ordinary weather the steam from this
pipe has no effect upon the wire but in
the biting cold of last week it caused
ice to form and in time this became SO
heavy that there was danger of the
wire breaking. Had this occurred the
wire would have sagged across the
Northwestern tracks and become a
menace to trainmen riding on top of
cars, and rather than assume the risk
Manager P. r. McHale caused the
wire to be cut down. Since it has
been removed there has been no
way of regulating the clocks out
side the telegraph Office but a lineman
is expected to arrive within day or
SO and make the necessary repairs.

MEETS WOMAN DESPERATE
Lawless Female Discharges Re.
volver at Farmer.
Appropriated Silver Watch and Re.
fused to Surrender.
Had Been Expelled From City by
Police Authorities.

A fallen woman with revolver fig
ured in an exciting episode east of the
city last Wednesday. For a short time
she pc sed as sort of female Harry
Treacy but her supply of ammunition
became exhausted and she was forced
to return watch she had stolen. The
farmer from whom the latter was taken
gave the lady a sound tongue flashing
but concluded not to prosecute.
The woman first appeared in the city
Thursday, January 2lst, and was seen
upon the several days thereafter. She
visited the Northwestern station at all
hours of the day and night and upon
one Or two occasions was badly in
toxicated. Sunday morning in the
bitter cold, when the thermometer was
down to 30 degrees below, she was found
asleep in the street near the depot and
barely saved from death by freezing.
AS long as it was possible for them
to ignore her presence the depot en-
ployes paid no attention to her but
on Tuesday she insulted a waiting
passenger aud then complaint was
made to the police. Chief Klause hunt
ed up the woman and to him she stated
that her name was Macklin and that
she lived in Mankato. She said her
husband was section foreman and
that they had two children. Her age
she gave as rs, although her appear
ance indicated that her arithmetic was
incorrect.
After giving her hearing Chief
Klause ordered her to leave town and
she promised readily to do so. The
following day, however, he encounter
ed her on Minnesota street and when
he asked her why she had not pur-
chased q ticket she replied that all her
money was gone. Her tale was given
sympathetically but the officer was in
flexible and told her that she must
quit the city, even if it was necessary
for her to ride on a freight train.
To this she replied that she would
rather walk and the chief then ac-
companied her to the city limits.
Shortly after parting with him the
woman left the railroad tracks and
went to the home of a well-known
farmer. She was admitted to the house
and related a narrowing hard-luck
story. It so moved the farmer's wife
that she hurried her visitor to the fire,
brought out vittals and even produced
a bottle of wine.
Happening to step out of the room
moment, she was astounded to find
upon her return that her guest had de-
parted. The man of the house came
in at that moment and, noticing that a
silver watch was missing, started after

ENGINEER HANEY RESIGNS
Leaves Local Plant to Become Super
intendent at Warren.

Walter r. Haney, who has held the
position of chief engineer at the mu-
nicipal lighting plant since the station
has been in operation, handed in his
resignation Thursday and it took effect
Monday. He relinquishes his position
for one Offering him a wider field, he
having been appointed superintendent
of the lighting plant at Warren, Mar
shall county, MINI.
New Ulm people who have come to
know Mr.. Haney during his residence
here will regret his departure from the
city but at the same time they will find
pleasure in his appointment to more
lucrative position. He is a capable and
efficient engineer and under his super
vision the New Ulm plant has worked
smoothly and without accident. Mr..
Haney will prove a good man for
Warren and the council of that place
will find inshim a distinct acquisition.
He and his wife expect to leave New
Ulm this week, as he is to assume his
new charge on February 18th.
No change will be made at the station
until Friday, when Mr.. Haney's sue
cessor will be appointed. Who this
will be has not been definitely decided
but it is likely that one of the firemen
will be promoted and newman placed

the woman. She was in plain sight on
her way to the tracks but when he came
up to her and called for her to stop,
she whirled about and discharged .
revolver at him.
The bullet missed and she could not
fire again, as the weapon was empty;
seeing which the farmer grappled with
her and recovered his property. He
gave her a severe lecture, which she
accepted meekly, and then allowed her
to depart. Since the tussle with the
farmer she has not been seen in New
Ulm and probably succeeded in reach
ing Mankato.

STATION AGENT
Minneapolis & St. Louis Sends G.
w. Nicholson Here.
Travelling Freight Agent Named to
Succeed R. L. English.
Came to New Ulm And Assumed
Control Monday Morning.

This week q change was made by the
Minneapolis & st. Louis Railroad
company in its agent at this place. r.
L. English, who has been at the station
for upwards of a year, resigned ON
January 3lst and he is succeeded by
Geo. W. Nicholson. Thelatter assumed
control of the Office Monday morning
and is now in charge.
Mr.. Nicholson, the newly appointed
agent, is an experienced railroad man
and has been long in the employ of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis. During his
term of service he has held many i'm
portant positions and prior to coming
here was the travelling freight agent of
the road. which place he resigned to
take the New Ulm depot.
He is not by any means a stranger
in New Ulm. as his duties as travelling
agent brought him here frequently, and
he has personal acquaintance with
nearly all of the merchants and larger
shippers. His wife, who was formerly
Miss Jessie Troupe, lived here for
number of years and her return will be
welcomed by wide circle of friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholson will move
their effects from Minneapolis, where
they have been living, and take up
their home here.
r. L. English, who retires, does not
intend to leave New Ulm. Some months
ago, when he sent in his resignation
as station agent for the ST. Louis, he
was rendered a position by the grain
commission firm of Edwards, Wood d
Co. AT that time they wished him to
take the Office at Chamberlain, S. D.,
but different arrangements have since
been made and last week they offered
him the management of the New Uln
branch. This he has accepted and he
and his family will continue to reside
in the city.

trip complete until he has visited st.

q day or two and then purchase
souvenirs, a practice which has opened

One of the principal points of in
terest, and one which appealed strong
~ to the militia delegates, was old
Fort Marion, whose erection was be-
gun in 1870 and completed in 1865. The
fertilization is built of shell rock and
in its day was a great fortress, although
it would be powerless against the ar
tillery of today. During the Spanish
American war Fort Marion was used
as a military prison but it is now dis
mantled and garrisoned by sergeant
OF the United States engineering corps,

stronghold.
st. Augustine is located on long
