Will Bring More Money.
After turning the matter over in hi
mind and consulting many of hi
friends in this city Dr. G. r. Koch ha
decided that the best thing for him t.
do is to go to Minneapolis aud opel
dental parlors, having been assure,
oy many OF his friends living in tina
city that there is field there. whicl
Will open up road to wealth that cal
not be secured in a city of this size.
When seen by the Review the young
dentist expressed himself as very re
luctant to leave the city of his birth anc
the place in which he has been accused
OF crime which he hopes will in time
be etfectually cleared up, but he feels
it is due to those who have advanced
him money to fight for his life that they
be satisfied and the money returned, al
the earliest possible date, and for this
reason he is of the opinion that there
IS a better opportunity in the larger
field that Minneapolis will offer.
1T is not so much that I hate to
leave,' he said, 'but that don't want
people to think that I have to leave. I
have good practice here and it is
getting better every day, but it will be
many years if [ stay here before | will
be able to make enough to pay what
has been spent in the three trials, so I
believe that the best thing is to go
where there are more people and more
work to be done"
DR.. Koch is confident that when he is
once established and his work becomes
known he will have no trouble in hold
ing his practice. The work that he has
done in the four years he has had an
Office here has given the best of salts
faction and the field as good as far as
1t goes. His home is here and his
friends are here and there are other
inducements that would hold him, but
he has decided that sometime during
the next month he will make the change
and will take the first step in that
direction by visiting Minneapolis to-
day.
A story that seems to have been
more or less what is known in news
paper parlance as pipe has gain
ed circulation through the Owatonna
papers, and is as follows:
The Owatonna Journal says that
rumor has gained considera BILE cir
culatlon in that city to the effect that
owing to the fact that he knew Koch
was not the murderer of Dir. Gebhardt.
but did know who the real murderer
was and therefore did not want to see
the wrong man hung, and yetcould not
reveal the name eff the real murderer, /
a prominent resident of New Ulm, who
has relatives in Steele county, some of {
whom are well to do farmers, raised '
several thousand dollars here with
which to defend Koch IN the third trial
Tor his life.
What ground there is for the circu-
alton OF such a report is not known. :

extent that it has reached the ears of
most of the officials in this county. who ;.
although they do not commit them =
selves have heard the rumors manv
