SICK MANS CALL SAVES SON


It was the voice of his sick father
calling him in the night that aroused
Peter Kitzberger, an employee of the
State bank, from a stupor caused by
es :aping coal gas and doubtless saved
him from death by asphyxiation.
The occurance was on Wednesday
night. Anton Kitzberger, the young
mans father, is an invalid and that
he might be handy to give assistance
in case the aged parent should require
help of any kind during the sleeping
hours, it has been the custom lately
for the son to make his bed on couch
in the sitting room Immediately adj
joining his fathers bedroom.
This room is connected with the
sleeping room by a door which is
closed at night. and in it is a stove
burning soft coal.
On Wednesday evening young kitz-
berger attended an orchestry practice

gas at that time and went to bed in the
room where the stove was with never
a thought of danger.
About O'Clock he heard his father
repeatedly calling hisname and spring
ing out of bed grasped the lamp and
went into the sick mans room. He
had hardly reached the bedside when
he sank to the floor in a stupor and
lay there helpless while his father call
ed for help.
The young man says he could hear
his fathers voice plainly enough but
that he could not have moved muscle
to save his life.
In a few minutes his brother, who
sleeps upstairs, came rushing down
and soon had the poisoned man in the
fresh air, where he rapidly recovered.
He was pretty sick, but was at work

THINKS HAMMER is kOCH'S
Mrs. Kaess, Scrub Woman, Says
1t Is Koch's.
VIII Swear She Used Fatal Ham
mar In Koch's Office.
State Secures New Evidence for
the Mankato Case.

New evidence connecting DR.. Koch
introduced at the next trial is the
testimony of Mrs. Andrew KaeSs, a
scrub woman, who claims to be able
TO identify the hammer which has
played such an important part in thu
mystery, as the property of the accused
young man.
She claims she once saw and used
the hammer in DR.. KOch'S office and
says that the handle, rough and home
made, is familiar to her, as is also the
broken claw and the broken face.
Mrs. Kaess used to scrub the offices
10 the Stricken block and shortly be-
fore the murder cleaned D.. Koch's
offices. She took off one of the win
d0ws, she says, to clean it, and in
doing so used this hammer, which was
hanging against the wall close at
hand. After the murder, she claims
she was again in the Office and failed
TO see the hammer.
The value of this testimony to the
state lies in the fact that all the MEM
bers of the Koch family admitted that
there had been an old hammer closely
resembling the one in question, but
differing from it in certain details, but
that they could not produce it in evil
dence, as 1t had disappeared six
months before. The state will argue
Ghat this hammer disappeared because
DR.. Koch took it down to his Office.
DR., Koch's attorneys are not wor-
ried over this new testimony, as they
are prepared to prove that the woman
is not q reliable witness. She was
shown the hammer for Identification
before the first trial, they claim, and
say that they can prove that at that
time she stated that she knew nothing
whatever about DR.. Koch's tools, and
had no idea whether she had seen the
hammer in his Office or not @-#
They deny enphatically that DR..
Koch had the hammer or any hammer
in his office. .s,~

CITIZENS BANK FIGHTS BILL
Measure Would Force Private
Banks to Reorganize.
National or State Restrictions Are
Not Wanted.
Would Mean Big Loss of Business
to Local Institution.

Ii bill now before the Minnesota
legislature becomes d law the Citizens
Bank of New Ulm will be forced to re-
organize and become either national
or a state bank. For excellent bust
ness reasons the local institution does
not wish to do this and is lighting the
proposed law in common with other
private banking interests all over the
state
The bill known as the Eberhardt bill,
provides that all private banks shall
either organize under the state or ma
tional laws or cease to do business UNI
der the name Of banks.
The Citizens Bank is one of the
strongest institutions in the state of
Minnesota, with a capital of SSO.00O,
resources of 100000 and individual
responsibility of S3,O0O,O00 and there
is not the slightest reason why it
should be forced to organize under
state or national laws AS far as
making reports TO state or national
examiners is concerned it has no
Objection. says President NJ. Mullen,
in fact it would gladly do SO, but it
does not wish to come under either OF
these laws because of the limitations
imposed by them.
For instance the national law pro-
videS that no national bank shalllOa
more than ten per cent Of its capitol
to any one person or corporation
under any circumstances, and no
matter what the securities: while the
state bank is restrained from loaning
more than fifteen per cent of it's capital
to any one person Or corporation.
There are certain institutions in New
Ulm which at times require large sums
of money to transact their business,
and if they are prevented from borrow
ing at the home bank they will be
forced into eastern money markets for
loans. This would means a loss to the
local bank and great Inconvenience to
the borrowers.
Mr.. Mullen spent several days in the
capital last week, and yesterday e
left on second trip to ST. Paul. He
with the others is working for a COM
promise measure which he has hopes
will pass.

The man had with him a poor, bag

children of whom he had spoken, al

was still in arms. He gave his name
to Chief Klause as Burt Parry and
said he had come from Waseea and
was on his way to Gary, S. D., where
it seems his wife's folks live. He had
no money and by his own confession
was depending on each town he came
to to furnish him transportation to a
farther point, and in this way he ex-
pected to reach his destination, and
probably will.

Last week the Review said that the
Interstate Accident & Relief associa-
ton had received it's license to write
insurance in Wisconsin for 1905 and
more along that line. There was moth
ing in the item to intimate that the
company was to write insurance in
the neighboring state for the first time.
and as a matter of fact this is the Sec
ond year the Inter- State has been do
ing business there. But what must
the dear, stupid Journal do but take it
for granted that because the license
was issued for 1905 there had not been
one one issued for 1904 and comment
on the addition of another state to
the Interstate territory" Perhaps
in charity to its contemporary the
Review should be a little more ex-
plicit in explaining things.
