STRIKE. A BAD DISCORD
Members Of Little German Band"
Have Trouble.

There has been friction in the ranks
OF the little German band'' that has
made its headquarters in New Ulm for
the past ten days and yesterday the
trouble took the travelling musicians
into Judge Henningsen' court in a
body. One of their number, August
Dick, was arrested for beating Wilhelm
Kuster, a 16-year-old boy who accom-
panies the organization, and the court
listened patiently to their stories.
Dick was taken on complaint of Henry
Kappel, a third player, and as none
OF the parties could talk English the
trial was conducted in the tongue OF
the Fatherland.
The trouble which came to a head
yesterday is of long standing. Four
months ago Kappel and Kuster, aged
% and 16 respectively, came over from
Germany to join the band and tour
| the United States. The understanding
was that they were to receive $3.50 pei
week as wages but they claim that the
older members were paid all the money
and they were sighted, until now they
have due about S75. Kuster, it seems.
| was wont to demonstrate but this only
aroused the ire of Dick and on the
stand the boy said that he was given
daily beatings, claim which was
born out by marks on his body.
Dick pleaded not guilty but admitted
striking the boy, saying inextenuatior
that Kuster irritated him by "cutting
faces The leader of the banc
declared that the parents of the two
boys had given him instructions not
to give them any money but to senc
the cash back to Germany After &
tedious examination Judge Henning
sen fined Dick SIS and costs, amount
ing to 1896, which he paid.

STORY HARD TO VERIFY
Is This Some of c. VI. Higgins Funny
Work?

We all know that F. Fl. Behnke is
one of the most original men in this
city and that he is equal to almost any
emergency, but he has surprised us all
in this last attempt which appears in
the Friday issue of the Minneapolis
Times and we are inclined to believe
that he ran up against G. W. Higgins
who spent several months in this city
and knows Mr.. Behnke's failing. The
Times has the following:
If the rainy season continues any
great length of time it may be that
much of the haying may not be done
until winter.
This, at least, is the opinion of the
rotund and genial Frank II. Behnke,
registered at the Nicollet hotel from
New Ulm.
81 remember distinctly how it was
down in my country last year." said
Mr.. Behnke, putting his cigar and
beaming broadly as the humor of the
idea struck him.
''The spring and summer were ex-
tremely wet as you remember, and
much of the very best meadow land in
Brown county was under water all the
time and it was impossible to get onto
it with a machine or on foot.
'"There was only one thing for the
farmers to do. They waited until the
wet places were frozen over and then
went out armed with clubs and actually
moved the hay in this manner. Yes,
sir, that's fact. The grass was Of
course, dry and cold and brittle, and
it broke off with a pretty snap wher
the clubs went crashing through it.
''Tons upon tons of hay were put W
in this way in my county and [ sup
pose in other places besides.

Clergy Object to Sunday Carnival.

The advertising Of the street fair and
carnival company that has been dis
played in this city calls for seven days,
including Sunday, July "a. This has
attracted the attention of the ministers
of the city and they held a council Of
war and decided to wait on the mayor
of the city in body and see if there
was not some way in which the matter
could be adjusted SO as to prevent the
Dissertation of the Sabbath.
Accordingly on Thursday number
of the ministers, representing the views
of all, called upon the mayor and ask
ed him to see that the state law was
not violated in this instance. There
was such unanimity among the minis
tiers that there was no reason for hest
fancy upon the part of the mayor and
he gave them his word that no license
would be issued to the managers for
that day.
The argument that they used was
that it was for the good name of the
city, claiming that New Ulm has a re-
putation for violating the Sabbath
that does not belong to it; that there
were no more violators of the law here
than in any of the other cities, in fact
not as many, and that because of the
reputation the city had these men had
singled it out as good place in which
to put in an extra day. They felt tina
this was unjust to the city and ap
pealed to him to have it stopped, with
the above result.
