RECALLS NEW ULM SIEGE.
August is Was the Forty-Third Ami
versary of the Massacre.

ihoih 4hoiiuoy l1dlly.
The News last week should have men
toned that the day previous to its is
sue, Aug. 18th, was the fortythird an
niversary of the Sioux Indian massacre
near New Ulm and the beginning of the
six days siege of the then village, which
we were reminded of the evening of
the 18th, after The News had been
printed by our old friend, Richard Pfef
ferle, who arrived here the evening or
night of Aug. 18th, 1862, with Judge
Flandrau's company from st. Peter, the
first company to arrive, and who re-
manned here to the close of the siege
on Sunday Aug. 23rd, and the evacua
ton the next morning with the living
and wounded. The old settlers cannot
recall the horrible scenes of that period
save with a shudder. but the scenes then
enacted can not be forgotten. The her.
oism of residents of the town and of
its defenders who rushed here poorly
armed from st. Peter, LIE Sueur, Man
kato, and the intervening country, may
have been equalled at Valley Forge, but
has never been surpassed. The white
people killed in and near New Ulm was
variously estimated at nearly 100, and
is known to have been near seventy,
and the wounded were many more. In
the town of Milford, few miles west
of New Ulm, where the slaughter be-
were thirtysix white persons known to
have been killed-New Ulm News.

MORE CITIES AND TOWNS.
Figures Showing How the Population
Leaves the Country Side.

The number of cities and villages i'll
Minnesota has increased from 1888 to
6l2, nearly 60 per cent in the last ten
years, according to an interesting table
prepared by George F. Wright, super
visor of the census.
This table gives statement made at
the beginning of the enumeration that
people in the country have been hocking
to the cities and villages. The growth
of the cities and villages is one of the
most notable characteristics of the last
decade.
The table shows further an increase
in the number of townships, organized
and unorganized, of from l,722 i'll 1895
to | S67 in 1905. In 1895 there were
l,493 organized townships and 229 I'M
organized townships. On June l, 1905,
there were 1855 organized townships
and 3l2 unorganized townships.
The table showing the cities and vii
lagos and townships by counties for
1895 and 1905 follows:

ALONE IN A BIG TOWN.
Lake Crystal Girl Aged Fourteen, Pick
ed Up in Minneapolis.
From Mondays Daily.

FROM MONDAY Daily.
With her little baby brother in her
arms, Tillie Cook, aged sixteen, poorly
clad and accompanied by Violet Ander-
son, a fourteen year old girl, was picked
up on the streets by a policeman yes
terday afternoon and is now i'll charge
of Police Matron Schaeffer at the Cen
trail station, says The Minneapolis
Times,
The girl left lie Sueur, Mimi, few
days ago, according to her story, but
what her purpose was in coming to
Minneapolis is a mystery to the police
force. She says that her mother died
a week ago in lie SueuT and that her
father has been dead for some time.
She was without any means of support.
and when her little friend, Violet An
derson came from Lake Crystal, Mimi,
TO visit her, the two girls decided that
they could find their fortunes in a
larger city.
Bravely assuming the responsibility
of baby brothers support, Tillie came
to Minneapolis and was in search of
work, she says, when she was taken in
by kind hearted policeman whose at
tention was attracted by her forlorn
appearance.
The police are unable to discover just
what was the motive which led two
young girls to come to a large city
without any means of providing for
their expenses, or without any friends
in the city. The authorities at Lake
Crystal and lie Sueur have been mott
flied but so far no answer has been re-
ceived.

average for us as follows: Wheat six
teen; oats forty, and one piece of barley
forty bushels per acre. Ernest NaSel
says his wheat is not quite as good as
last year, but is a fair crop, and from
all reports it is plain to us that we have
harvested a fair crop, possibly tritle
above the average, but by no means is it
bumper crop. In order to form any
conception of crop one must work for
the average, and not for choice reports
which are sure to come forward first
The grade this year is above the aver
age, but we must say that grain being
tmeshed out of the shock is very
badly bleached and we are uncertain as
to what it will grade, but the majority
think it will grade No. 2.

SUICIDE FOLLOWS SERMON.
Tragic End of An Illinois Man at RELIC
ious Sermon

Minneapolis, Aug. 28.-While DIR. w.
b. Riley, the pastor of the First Bap-
tict church of Minneapolis, last evening
was pronouncing the last words of the
benediction, a addressed man, sup
posed to be Dr. w. r. Owen of Sublette.
ILL.,, arose from a pew near the front of
the church, drew a revolver from his
pocket and fired a bullet through his
own heart. He fell headIong and life
less over the railing of the next pew
while women III the congregation scream
ed Historically. The dead man is be-
lieved to be Dr. Owen, as indicated by
several letters found in his pocket and
a draft on the First National Bank
of Sublette for. 500 He entered the
church with those of the congregation at
the usual hour. He was stranger and
ushered to a seat far to the front of the
church. All through the sermon he sat
quietly, striking an attitude of devotion
at whites, but apparently not moved in
an unusual manner.
The sermon was entitled "Jonah at
Ninevah," and the text was taken from
the third chapter of Jonah, which re-
lates principally to the Ninevites' re-
pentance for their sins and their subse-
quent pardon by God.
The pastor pronounced the benediction
when the stranger arose from his seat
and fired the fatal shot into his heart
For some time his body lay limp across
the pew railing, while all was consterna-
ton in the church Then it was recog-
nized that he was dead and the body
was removed to the county morgue.
DR.. Owen SPENT most of Saturday at
the Nicollet hotel, although he had not
registered. He had valise at the desk.
Apparently he seemed worried over
something and did not care to secure a
room. His grip was opened by an Off
Ger and it is thought from letters found
in it that he had experienced some lit
tie family difficulty.

PROSPECTS FOR THE ROAD.
Captain Reed Confident That Con-
struction Will Go On Unhampered.

FIOlH hoiludy bdiiy.
Capt. A. H. Reed, president of the
Duluth, St. Cloud, Glencoe and Man
kato Railway company, went from Al
bert Lea to ST. Paul Saturday to see
about the placing in escrow of some OF
the bonds issued in aid of his project
by one of the towns between this city
and Mankato. The bonds are to be
placed in bank and delivered when
they are earned by Mr. Reed and his
associates, which evidently will be very
soon. In an interview Mr.. Reed said he
expected the road bed to be completed
north as far as Freeborn within the
next ten days, which certainly indicates
rapid work on the part of the contrac-
tors. Still more men and teams are in
demand and every effort is to be made
to complete the line to Mankato on or
before January lst. The remainder of
the right of way is to be secured at
once and in few days the dirt will be
flying in Blue Earth county, but
of course there will be slower work in
completing the grade after the rough
country around Aankato is reached.
However, no very serious difficulty is
expected and a good road bed will be
completed very easily.
securing ties and as soon as possible the
rails will be laid and supply train
will be put on as far as the road is
prepared. Five carloads of material
have recently been unloaded at Man
chester and that means vast amount
of drayage, which could have been cut
down some had the road been ready to
operate supply train.

CARPENTER ACQUITTED.

His Team.

From Saturdays Daily.
Frank L. Carpenter of Vernon Center
was tried yesterday on the charge of

torney Wilson appeared for the state,
and C. O. Daley for the defendant.
The latter demanded a jury trial, and
a jury of nine was secured, and the trial
took place before Justice A. w. Petrich.
The alleged crime took place July 18th,
and the complaint was made by ID. A.
Brewer. The defendant denied the
charge.
The evidence was gotten in in the
forenoon, and the case went to the jury
Immediately after dinner. The jury was
out twenty minutes and brought in a

RAILWAY GRADING.
Will Be Done In Ten Days As Far As
Freeborn.


Charles O'Connor was in from ST.
Clair today, and said that work on the
new railroad is progressing rapidly. He
said that in ten days more the grading
will be completed as far as Freedom,
and that trestles and bridges along that
section are now being built. The con
tractors are placing the culvert pipe
and trestle timber this side of Freedom.
The company discharged one of its
engineers and has not yet filled his place,
which accounts for the delay in doing
the surveying from Cream to Mankato.
The other engineers are busy on the
first part of the work. When another
engineer has been secured, the work of
locating the line between Cream and
Mankato will be taken up.
Mr.. OConnor thought that if the cars
are not running into Mankota this
winter they will be early in the spring.

CORN IS SAFE.

From Tuesdays Daily.
According to all reports that are COM
ing in from all parts of the county the
corn crop is now beyond the possibility
of damage by frost, except here and
there a field. Some of it is being cut.
and much of it is ready for the sickle.
1t is fine crop.
Threshing is in full progress once
more, and wheat not being threshed is
safely stacked. This has been a great
year for the farmers. Even the pota-
to crop, the last to be harvested, is
said to be abundant and of good quail
ity Who wouldn't like to be a farmer
these days?

SUFFERS A BROKEN NOSE.
George Hartune Claims That Ira Ro-
mack Assaulted Him.

From Tuesdays Daily.
George Hartung, well known citizen
of Eagle Lake, is confined to his bed
with injuries said to have been infiict-
ed by Ira Romack of Tivoli. The story
goes that Hartung and his hired man
were at Tivoli on Saturday gathering
grapes by the roadside. Mr.. Romack is
said to have accused the men with
tresspassing. This was followed up by
an attack, Romack striking Hartung on
the nose, breaking it. Hartung was
rendered unconscious. The hired man
was about to come to his employers
rescue and he, too, was knocked out.
Hartung is an elderly man and his
hired man is about the same age. 1t
is said that Hartung will proceed legally
against his alleged assailant.

DEVORE'S MILKING MACHINE
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
F. Nj. Devore of Thompson, Iowa, was
in Mankato today exhibiting his patent
milking machine. The device is simple
in construction, but it will take as long
to milk by using this machine as it does
by hand, the redeeming feature being
that the machine will do the work while
the farmer is taking his ease. Mr. De-
wore has sold large number of the ma
chimes.

Dr. A. E. Ames, the veteran physician,
of Minneapolis, has associated with him
his son DIR. A. a. Ames, late surgeon
of the Seventh regiment. If the old doc
tor does not look well to his laurels
fresher and greener ones will be won
and worn by the younger Nj. D., for we
hear that in the army he carried off the
palm for surgical operations, when
alongside of older surgeons than his
father. He was regarded in the army as
the most skillful operator in the corps,
and won reputation in his regiment
and brigade as most kind and faith
full physician. We doubt if there was a
surgeon in the army more popular and
beloved in his regiment than Surgeon
Ames.
