Effort to Connect Fuchs With
Murder Falls Flat.

New Ulm, Mimi, Jan. Sup to three
o'clock this afternoon eleven men had
been secured to serve on the jury to try
Koch on the charge of the murder of
DR.. Gebhard The eleventh juror selected
is William Berg, of Sigel, Mimi, and the
last man will probably be selected this
afternoon. However, this is problemati-
cal, as the last one may not be chosen
until tomorrow Should the twelfth man
forenoon it is doubtful if evidence will
be taken before Thursday morning.
Nothing new has developed in the
case. One of the attorneys for the de-
Tense is somewhat disappointed in the
delay in securing jury, as he antici-
pated twelve men could be found with
in forty-eight hours who would be ac-
ceptable.
The detectives employed by the de-
| Tense in the Gerhard murder trial have
been the past week attempting to con-
meet the suicide of Michael Fuchs, whose
body was found hanging in smoke
house near his home on German street
last Monday morning, in some way with
the murder of DR.. Gerhard. They have
! searched the premises in the near Vi
cinity of the smokehouse several times
and also scrutinized the interior of this
building. Nothing has been found yet to
indicate that the suicide left anything
| that would identify him with the muir
der. Tbs is but another attempt of the
defense's to attach the crime to another
person.
No motive can be shown, it is believed,
that will in any way connect the suicide
with the crime. No relations existed be-
tween him and the murdered man. He
simply had run against piece of ad-
verse luck in playing the slot machines
and cold not stand the pressure. 1t is
! said by the defense that if Fuchs COM
imitted the murder he had become so
wrought up the past several months that
he gave himself over to dissipation and
the strain was too great and he sue
cumbed to dependency, thinking that he
would sooner or later be confronted with
the fact that he was the murderer and
had therefore come to the conclusion
that the best way would be to end it all.

SPRING ISLAND NOTES.

The Rapidan Literary club held its
fortnightly session Saturday evening
| New officers were elected: Arthur Nit
chell president; Miss Gregg vice presi-
dent; Harry Davis secretary. The usual
debate was postponed owing to the late
ness of the hour. Sadie Holberg, Ella
Anderson, Bertha Holberg and Lee
Schooner each gave interesting recita-
tions. Guitar duets by Mr.. Kramer, and
Mr.. Mcdonald, song by Bessie Weller,
/ piano duet, Ethel Gregg, completed an
excellent musical program. Mrs. Dorm
berg read the "Plaindealer."
The Modern Woodman have purchased
a fine Whitney piano from the Overman
Music company. A box social will be
held in the hall Friday, Jan. 6, and
"nigger minstrels," home talent, Jan.
Goth. The proceeds of both entertain
ments will be used in making piano pay
ments. Don't forget the dates. Come
everybody, and have good time.
Mrs. j. A. Williams is visiting her

Mr.. Roy Cookers Pekin ducks took
first prize at the poultry show.
Seymour Levitt has just put up a new
steel windmill.
Once in a while something really does
happen in this community and this time
| it was a wedding. When this good
news became known, the young folks
promptly gathered bells, whistles, horns,

happy couple an old fashioned chivari,
but sad to tell the house was closed to
all intruders, the bride and groom were
no where to be seen, and afteh shivering

gusted party of young people went sadly

Mrs. Croker is expecting her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Lily West, from Pleasant
Mound tomorrow.
From the Rapidan Plaindealer: 1t is
most kind to have friendly interest in
our neighbours affairs and sincere re-
gard for his welfare. But if our best
and dearest friend were to be found with
his ear at the keyhole of our door, how
quickly our regard for him would cease,
and our respect be changed to contempt
Only thoroughly underlined and vul-
gar person would stoop to do a thing
like that. Yet how many people on the
telephone lines, will do what is exact
ly the same thing and lend a meddle-
some and inquisitive ear, while his
neighbor is talking to his family, his
friend, or his family physician, and per.
haps make scandal and trouble by re.
peating remarks so overheard.
