Looks at Plans for Emmanuel.

From Tuesdays Daily.
The Blue Earth County Medical So
ciety held it's regular monthly meeting
at the Saulpaugh last evening, the mem
bers from out of the city being Drs.
III. H. Herring and John Williams of Lake
Crystal, and DR.. Z. c. Kelly of Garden
City.
Drs. Beach and Dahl of this city were
voted into membership, and the appIca-
ton of DR.. William Coon of Elysian
was received.
A considerable part of the evening
was devoted to a consideration of the
plans of the proposed Emanuel hospital.

der to receive suggestions from the
physicians. Many suggestions were Of
fered. 1t was the opinion of the society
that the hospital will be very COM

to be the disposition of the German Lu-
theran Hospital association.
Other business was transacted, and
there was not time to hear the paper.
The next meeting will be held on the
last Monday evening in February at the
board of trade room, and DIR. A. f.

OHIO TURNPIKES
Law Relating to Them to Be Tested BY

Especial to The Free PreSS.1
New York, n. Y, Jan. 26. TWEEN
ty mule borax team manager of the Pa
cifc Coast Borax company, and crew
were arrested in Upper Sandusky, Ohio,
for the alleged violation of the state
road law, which states that wagons and
loads in excess of $500 pounds must not
be driven over the turnpikes." Local
business sentiment and newspapers are
strongly in favor of the twenty mule
team because of it's being a business
creator and because this procedure is an
infringement of business right. The
manager of the team has received offers
of sympathy and assistance from every
source The law has been declared UNI
constitutional by the court of common

Shooting Accident at New Ulm
Late Yesterday.
YOUNG MAN is THE VICTIM.
Gun in the Hands of Carl Piau'z Sen
a Bullet Into Head of Charles
Reine Ike.
From Saturdays Daily.

From Saturdays Daily.
Reports of murder committed in
New Ulm last night were circulated
freely in Mankato today, and it was
said that another dentist had been slain.
An investigation, however, brought the
information to The Free Press that there
had been no foul crime, but that an
accidental shooting had occurred there
yesterday afternoon at three o'clock
which may result in the death of Berth
old Reineke, son of Charles Reineke. The
boy is fifteen years old, and yesterday
was out hunting with companion, Carl
Plautz, of the same age. TIE is the son
of Otto Plautz. The two boys had been
in the vicinity of Herman Pfaender's
farm for some time, but when the ac-
cident happened they were at Eleventh
and Payne streets, in the west end of
town where they had met a number of
lads of their own age. They all en-
gagged in playing about a snow bank.
Finally, Plautz assembled the bank and
taking hold of Reineke's rifle, thirty
two caliber weapon, proceeded to put
it in what he supposed was good repair, as
the gun had been acting balky. Reineke
remained on the ground near Plautz. Sud-
denly Plautz exclaimed: "Now, l have
got it; come on | will show YOU" At
the same time he pulled the trigger and
the ball entered Reineke's forehead just
above the right eye. Taking a down.
ward course it lodged in the neck. The
injured boy walked block before he
fell to the ground. He was removed to
the hospital 1t is thought he will re-
cover, if no complications arise. The po-
lice investigated the affair and reached
the conclusion that it was a case of ac-
cidental shooting. The Plautz boy did
not know the rifle was loaded. 1t would
seem, however, that the youth was very
careless in handling the gun.

NEW FIRE TEAM.
Council Committee Gets ServicabIe
Team at Welcome.

Team at Weicome.
From Thursdays Daily.
Aldermen Atchison and Mahowald, the
special committee of the council which
was appointed to purchase new team
for the fire department, made selection
at Welcome, i'll Martin county, yester-
day. They visited Bagley & Schokeney S
big cattle ranch of $500 acres, and pick
ed out team that they thought was
suitable for the service of the depart
ment. The horses are brown, fairly well
matched, coming six and seven years,
and weigh $50 and l,375 pounds. The
price was $3.50, and the team is to be
delivered at the fire station tomorrow
afternoon
The committee has looked at a num-
Der of teams. but none have suited as
well as the one that they bought. This
team was not perfectly satisfactory in
all respects, butt was considered to be
as nearly perfect as could be obtained
for a reasonable price. 1t has run away
several times, but that is considered an
advantage rather than disadvantage,
for it shows that it can $50 some" to
fires, and the central station boys will
see to it that it gets plenty of exer-

COMPARATIVE COST.
City to Pay More Toward Broad I'm
provement Than on Other Streets.

cIOIn rIlu;ty Daily.
Some statements having been made in
regard to the city having paid for the
street intersections when Front and
Jackson streets were paved, and that
it should do the same in regard to Broad
street, City Attorney Daley has been
looking up the expense which the city
has been at on the three streets.
As to Front street. the city made a
general tax levy to meet the ten per
cent discount for cash of 81 $50, and
took from other funds the sum of ST.
250, making a total of $500 expended
toward the payment of the Front street
contract.
As to Jackson street, the city made a
general tax levy of $3.50 to meet the
ten PER cent discount, and took $1,000
from other funds. The city paid for
the paving in front of the city hall and
the postoffice out of the funds thus Sc
cured, besides the ten per cent dis
count.
As to Broad street, judgment was en-
tered against the city Oct. 25th, 1904,
for $4O,O6595, principal, with interest
amounting to $2,97O.45, and costs $9l.9l,
making a total of $43,l2S.3l. The in
terest on this sum to Feb. 18th, 1906, is
$3,323.SS, making the total amount due
on the judgment $46,452.l0. The coun-
ell has ordered an assessment of $780,
O6595, leaving $G,3S6.24 for the city to
pay, besides the ten per cent discount OF
81 OOc.59. This makes a total for the
city to pay of $lO,392.S3, besides what
it will have to pay for the Improvement
of the public library and the sand well
lots. Thus it will be seen that the city
will be paying more on the Broad street
improvement than on the paving of
Front and jackson streets combined In
addition to all this, the city planted elm
trees on Broad street free of cost to
the property owners.
