city. These seven men were: David
Heidwinllel, Peter Schultz, Frank Borg
meier, Michael Humid, Philip Hodapp,
Henry Vahle and Leo Lamm.
The first meeting for the purpose of
founding of Catholic church was held
on the Sunday between Christmas and
New Years, Dec. 80, 1854, at Kron's
hotel, simple log house. This was the
foundation of the Catholic congregation
of Mankato. Those present were Frank
Borgmeier, John Bruels, Peter Fraen-
eel, Karl Frohnert, Jacob Guenther,
David Heidwinkel, Philip Hodapp,
Michael Humid, Anton Jacoby, Blasius
Yobst, Clements Kron, Peter Schultz,
Henry Sontag and Henry Vahle.
Similar meetings were held during
the spring and summer of 1855. The
first step to take was to buy a site
for church. The present site was soon
selected, and P. X. johnson generously
donated one half of it. The other MALT
was bought for 5000 with money adj
vanced by Michael Humid. 1t was Mr..
Humid also who donated to the congrega-
tion in the year 1855, for the purpose
of having the same serve as church,
the log house on the claim right owned
by him about one mile east of the pres
ent location of the church, on the
Agency road. This house, built of
hewn logs, twentyfour feet long and
sixteen feet wide, surrounded by for
ests on every side, was the first church
of Blue Earth county.
In the latter part of June, 1855, &C.
CURED a great event in the history of
the congregation. Bishop Joseph Cretin,
the first bishop of Minnesota, came to
look after his little flock at Mankato.
His journey from st. Paul was made in
common wagon drawn by team of
horses, with but one companion, cleri-
cal student. On June "a he celebrated
the first public mass in Blue Earth
county. 1t was attended by all the
Catholics in this vicinity. They came
from far and near in their wagons,
mostly drawn by oxen. In the after
noon of the same day, Bishop Cretin
baptised eleven children, among them

had read it were disqualified.
The article published upon the eve
of the second trial of Koch was the
most villainous and prejudical that it is
possible for the human mind to con-
ceive. 1t contained absolutely false
statements in regard to the relationship
of Sable and Koch. 1t was sought to
draw parallel, showing that two
horrible murders had been committed,
that in both cases there mad been an
effort on the part of the county officials
to hush up the matter, and that the
two murderers were relatives. 1t was
also sought to lead to the inference

! upon it was identified by Mr.. Walter
as one written by him.
Henry NJ. Somsen of New Ulm, broth
en- in-law of DIR. Koch, testified for the
relator that he told Mr.. Walter in his
office that the article in the Minneapo-
lis Journal of April 5th was false.
Witness told him that the man who was
supposed to have committed the Todd
county murder was a step son of half
brother of Koch's grandfather. Told
him that the article was exaggerated in
other respects than thatregardingthe re-
lationship. the conversation occurred
last Thursday forenoon. On cross ex-
animation, witness said that he did not
tell Mr.. Walter that Sable was cousin
of DIR. Koch. Walter said that he was
employed by Mr.. Liesch and had to do
as he was told.
Mr.. Walter was recalled and denied
that he had told Mr.. Sorensen that he
had to do as he was told. Mr.. Walter
said that he considered the relationship
as a distant cousin. Mr.. Abbott asked
whether he thought it fair thing to
publish it as fact that Sable was a
cousin of DIR. Koch, when Mr.. Somsen
had told him the exact relationship.
Witness said that Mrs. Nagel had told
him that Sable was cousin of George
R. Koch's mother. Mrs. Nagle had
claimed to know positively. Mr.. Abbott
asked why ne had not specified in the
article what cousin Sable was to DR..
Koch, instead of leaving the inference
that it was first cousin. Witness re-
/ piled that he had not considered the
matter. He admitted that he had some
thought that the article would bring
disgrace upon Sahle's relatives Mr.
Abbott asked whether he did not intend
to bring disgrace down upon the person
named as a relative of Sable. Witness
replied that he had not thought that it
would disgrace him. MIR. Abbott then
asked whether it was not his purpose in
writing the article in the way that he
did to suggest the idea to those reading
it that Koch had inherited from Sable
a character and disposition that would
induce him to commit murder Mr.
Walter was averse to answering this,
and the question had to be repeated
several times. Finally he answered
that he presumed that this was So An

out. None were ordered.
Mr. Walter was called and said that
he had written, he thought, all of the
articles in the Brown County Journal
relating to the Koch case. He had writ
ten them for the purpose of giving
news to the public and believed them
to be true. On cross examination, Mr..
Walters said that Mr.. Liesch had gem

so long desired, Father Valentine SOM
mereisen, VINO remained here for over
fourteen years, building up not only the
congregation at Mankato, but dozens
of others in southern Minnesota.
In the fall of 1869 the foundation of
the Catholic church as planned by
Father Sommereisen was laid. Owing
to an unfortunate combination of cir
cumstances the building could not be
completed on the magnificent scale he
had planned. The corner stone was laid
with great solemnity on July %, 1871,
in the presense of Bishop Thomas
Grace. On Nov. 23, 1873, the church
was dedicated with impressive cere-
monies by this same bishop. 1t re-
ceived the name of st. Peter and st.
Paul. Prior thereto the parish was
called st. Philips.
Improvements have been made on the
building from time to time and the con-
gregation mas reached out into kindred
fields of usefulness, doing large share
in the upbuilding of the city, establish
ing various other edifces as they have
been needed from time to time ana
continuing to play a large part in the
civilization of this part of the state.
The st. Peter and Paul's congregation
has grown to be the largest institution
of it's kind in southern Minnesota, and
an influence for good far and wide.

swering another question, he said that
he had told Mr. Liescn in substance
what Mr. Somsen had told him to tell
Liesch regarding the relationship.
This closed the relationship in the
case. The court was anxious to have
the arguments made at once, but the at
torneys for the respondent asked for
further time, Mr.. Wilson saying that
the first he knew of the case was that
morning. A recess was declared until
% a. m. today.
A. Z. Clark argued the case for the
relator. He said that the Koch case is
the most important ever coming before
this court. This community and Koch
and his family are vitality interested in
the trial being a perfectly fair one. A
very important matter is whether a
person can with impunity seek to pref
udice the community. He was pleased
to say that the newspaper men of Man.
kato and vicinity have been fair and
impartial in their handling of the case.
Mr. Clark claimed that the respondent
had filled his paper with sensational
matter and ISLANDERS to such an extent
that fair trial could not be had in
Brown county. Now an attempt has
been made to prejudice the public of
Blue Earth county against the defense
by the respondent by means of extra
copies of his paper sent broadcast in
this city, to jurors and even to the
court Five hundred copies were sent
to Mankato people.
1t appears that Mr.. Liesch published
in his paper the substance of the in
structions of the court to the jury, so
that he knew what they were, and he
knew why the instructions We're given.
He also knew how difficult it was to
obtain a jury in Brown county, and
boosted in his paper that the Brown
County Journal was widely read be-

The community has been growing out

radiation plant is more agreeable, if it
does cost more, and if the people want
it, they should have it,
The committee has received some es-
Inmates from Mr.. Wilcox ON the prob
able cost of steam heating plants in
the two schools. In the West Mankato
school it will be a comparatively easy
matter to put in plant. There a els
tern can be constructed between the
walls, as they stand, with little labor
and the present chimney fues can be
used. 1t will cost, according to the re-
ports on Mr.. Wilcox's figures, from ST.
500 to $1,000 to install the plant at
the West Mankato school. In the
Franklin school it will cost about ST.
200.
No estimate could be given last eve-
ming on the cost of extending the sewer
and water systems to the Franklin
school. 1t is uncertain what the most
practicable route will be, as the lay of
the lime stone has not been entirely
determined 1t is desired to make the
improvement with as little blasting as
possible. 1t is not certain what atti-
tude the city will take in regard to the
matter or whether the property owners
along the route that is CHOSEN will pc
tition for or against an improvement
that would cost them something, while
it would benefit their property. All of
these matters must be looked into by

pense.

CATHOLICS WILL HOLD GOLDEN JUBILEE
To Celebrate the Establishment of the St. Peter
and PauI's Church in Mankato
in the Year 1854

1t is expected that the German Cath
olics of Mankato will have a great cele-
bration of the fiftieth anniversary of
the institution of the congregation of
the st. Peter and Paul's church. For
some time the members of the church
nave been talking of concentrating
the beginning of the great church in
manner worthy of its Importance.
Fifty years ago, when the first set
tiers came here to live, there were two
Catholics among them: Jacob Guen-
Their and Peter Franzel. The next year
came the following Catholics: Bernhard
Bruggerman, John Bruels, Joseph FROM
ert, Blasius Yobst, Levi Kotthoff and.
Clements Kron, who opened the first no.
tel here. In the spring and summer of
1854, the list of Catholics was increas
ed by Michael Kaufman, Adam Freundl,
Anton Jacoby with wife and little
daughter tnow Mrs. Sebastian thinner
man of this city, and Henry Sontag.
However it was in the fall of 1854
that strong impetus was given the
Catholic cause in Mankato when seven
men of that faith, who had already
had Mankato and vicinity prospected
through one Anton Ilg, whom they sent
out before them, left their homes at st.
Charles, Mo-, and came to the settle
ment of five log houses and two frame
