WILL HUNT BIG GAME.
One Hundred and One Non-Resi-
dents Take Out Licenses.
From Tuesdays Daily.

One hundred and one nOn-residents
have forwarded to S. f. Fullerton, state
game and fish commissioner, the $25
required by law for a permit to hunt
big game in the state during the season
which commences. Thursday and lasts
until the end of the month.
A perusal of the list shows that the
majority come from Illinois, while Ohio
is close second. Iowa and Indiana al
so send in goodly number and a party
of six Pennsylvanians have secured per-
mits to spend ten days in the search
for deer and ten more in looking for
a stray moose or caribou.
The party arrived in st. Paul yes
terday, leaving last night for Itasca
county. The members expect to be out
in the woods in camp by tonight, so
that the hunt can be taken up prompt
ly with the coming of the morning of
the 10th. They will spend ten days in
Itasca county and from there will go
into Roseau and Red Lake for moose
A day or two may be spent in Beltrami
county, where the chances of securing
caribou are reported to be the best.
Reports from county auditors all
over the state show more licenses pur-
chased than ever before and with the
woods full of amateur gunners, as well
as those more experienced, there seems
to be fair possibility of more fatali--
ties than usual unless unusual precau-
lions are taken to guard against the mis-
taking of a fellow huntsman for a deer.

HOSPITAL SOLD.
TourteIIotte Hospital Goes to German
Lutheran Church.
From Saturdays Daily.

The Tourtellotte heirs have sold the
hospital of that name, located in the
north part of the city, to the German
Lutheran church of this city. The
church acquired the property at very
reasonable price, and its purpose is to
fit the building up and conduct hos
pital there. 1t may not be able to carry
out its plans at once. The church would
like to buy the other half block from
the city if it can do so at a reasonable
price, and has already opened negotia-
tions with the council with this in view.
The Tourtellotte heirs have been en-
deavoring to sell the building for some
time, and it has been their desire that 1T
should be used for hospital purposes.

would be her first choice, and DR.. Koch
her second. She also said her husband
had chided her about her fondness for
dentists. As DIR. Gerhard was known
to have been frequent caller at this
home some Importance was attached to
the tale.
There is an important bit of informa-
tion in County Attorney Hoidale's hands.
1t is letter from Robert c. Gerhard,
brother of the murdered man, and it con-
tains these significant words: "Be care
full and look out for Ed" The letter then
proceeds to state that "he," the Ed
referred to, secured money from the
writer by fraudulent means. The tone of
the letter throughout is one of warning.
1t is said that after today Attorney
Pfaender, who is candidate for the leg
islature, will have time to devote to the
Gerhard case. DIR. Gerhard was his
particular friend. 1t is limited that MIR.

working on quietly, but when through
with the campaign he will enter into
the matter with good deal of vigor.
The photographs of the eyeballs of the
dead man have been developed, and now
that. the brother of DR.. Gerhard is here
the photographs were to be subjected to
examination this afternoon to prove
whether or not there is photographed
within the photograph picture of the
man who did the murder. 1t is not ex
pected that the novel scheme will develop
anything.
1t has just been learned that on the
night of the murder young man accom-
panying two ladies home passed the Of
flee of Gerhard and they heard terrifying
screams issuing from the rooms. They
did not stop to investigate, and said
nothing of the occurrence until within
a day or two. The two girls were so
nervous during the balance of the night
that they could not sleep.
The detectives do not take stock in the
dope iend story, but are combining their
work to other channels. The detectives
are of the opinion that there sis a
woman in the case," but they will not
say whether this woman is married or
single. The detectives have been unable
to find anyone who can identify the
hammer There is difference of opin-
ion among Gebhard's friends as to
whether the hammer belonged to him.
Rev. z. R. Dow, an evangelist, has
been preaching on the lawlessness of the
city more or less during his stay here,
and last night gave a discourse on the
tragedy and his reasons for supposing
that such crime could be committed
in New Ulm and 60 unpublished. He dis
cussed the violation of law. 1t was in

The thirteenth Minnesota state confer

held at Faribault, Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday of next week, November Is,
IL and Is, is attracting unusual atten-
ton. This is due to several causes. One
of these is that the Importance of the
