LOCATE SOCIETY'S BIRTH PLACE
Turnyerein Will Place Marker in
Milford Town.

A committee from the Turnverein
consisting of Robert Scherer, Armand
Petry and Fred Pfaender with Oscar
Palmer, city engineer, went out over
the old Milford road to the place
where the, old Setter log store build
ing, the first of the buildings of the
New Ulm settlement, was erected, Sun
day for the purpose of locating the
site of the building and erecting a
tablet perpetuating the location of the
place where the birth and organization
of the first Turner society in the state
took place.
They had no difficulty in finding the
spot where more than fifty years ago
the building was erected, as there is
still evidence of the cellar excavation
amid the growth Of nettles and under
brush that has covered the ground for
many years.
Following the new road that crosses
the Pfaender farm and at a point 200
feet this side of the bridge over the
SIN all creek on the edge of the Pfaen-
der place a stone is to be erected and
in it a bronze tablet giving the parti-
culars of the founding of the society
and stating that the building in which
all of the discussions took place prior
to the organization, was located just
600 feet from that spot due north.
When the tablet is finished and ready
for placing it is the intention of the
society to honor the event Of the mark
ing by having a general celebration at
the spot with appropriate addresses.
This will take place some time before
the general golden jubilee celebration,
and the spot will no doubt be place
of interest to many Of the visitors who
will come to the city during the jubilee.
AS is generally known about the
first of the organizations, if not the
very first, that were effected in this city
was the Turnverein and it had it's birth
place in this present out Of the way
place but moved with the establish
ment Of the city of New Ulm into the
center of the present city where it has
since remained and made name for
itself among the Turner societies Of
the United States.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. time
Husky Team From st. Peter Too
Swift For Them.
Both Teams Give Splendid Exhi.
bition OF Base Ball.
Score at the End of the Ninth In.
ming is Six to Seven.

No cleaner or more interesting and
enjoyable game of ball has been played
on the diamond in this city by the
home team with an outside team than
was played Sunday between New Ulm
and st. Peter. From start to finish
the game was played in good feeling
and the absence of a crowd of boys on
the diamond and a restriction of the
roofing to the use of decent express
sions gave the game a tone that was
gratifying to the spectators and was
so much in contrast with the game
that was played the Sunday before
that it was decided relief.
The st. Peter team is made up of a
variety of lengths and breaths of men
and with the variety of suits worn by
them they had something of the APP
pearance of having come from the
remnant counter, but they played ball
as though they were off the top shelf
and cut from original packages. Twice
they went to pieces and allowed sever
al scores to be run in on errors due
to wild throws but they recovered in
time to win the game.
New Ulm put up good game from
beginning to end, though the team
went to pieces once on a wild throw
which cost them the game. Mueller
took the place Of Emmerich in the
pitchers box and did we'll though he
does not throw as swift ball as En-
merich and for thatreason was pounded
more effectively than Emmerich would
have been but he was up against a set
of good batters and considering this
did well.
Up to the third inning st. Peter was
not allowed to see the home plate but
towards the close of the third they
were able to run in one score and this
was followed in the fourth by another,
two in the fifth and one in the sixth
tied the score with New Ulm and this
gave the visitors courage and they got
! down to business making it impossible
| for the New Ulm team to get a score
for five consecutive innings. while up
to the end OF the eight inning st. Peter
had seven scores. In the last half of
the ninth inning it began to look as
though the score would be at least tied,
one man got home safe and then it was
found to be impossible to get a man at
bat who could hit the curves that were
sent in by the St. Peter pitcher and the
game ended in short order.
The score by innings is as follows:
! st. Peter 90 2 O 2 OF

LAND LEASED + OR new MILL |.
Promoters of " lolen Mill Look
For L alton.
Will Lease Part Of City's Old Pub
lie Land ling.
Manufacture of Wbolen Material
Should Bene fit Many.

The capital stock of the new wooden
mill that has been a part of the specu-
lation of new enterprises for this city
has practically been subscribed to the
amount necessary to assure the pro-
moters that there will be no further
trouble in floating the enterprise.
Sometime ago Edgar Small leased
the WOODEN mill which was owned by
B. Marschner and is located on the
Cottonwood river south of this city.
He is practical manufacturer of
wooden goods, and has spent a number
of years~in some of the largest mills in
Milwaukee where he has acquired
familiarity with the best methods of
the same.
He is a son-in-law OF Mr.. Marschner
and the two have wer ked together in
the mill here for number of years as
long as the seas on lasted, the mill be-
ing operated by water power it was
only possible to operate it in the
months when water was available and
the other months Mr.. Small found en-
ployment in the Milwapk mills.
Since the control has passed into the
hands of the younger man he has been
anxious to increase the output, but
under the circumstances that control
in the present location such thing is
impossible and he has been busy for
some months interesting home capital
in the enterprise with the intention of
moving into the city and operating on
a large scale.
~ There has been no difficulty in in
teresting capital in the Enterprise and
now the work has PROGRESSED to that
extent that a location has been deter
mined upon, which is at the foot OF
Center street at the old boat landing
which is the property of the city, for
which the new company will secure q
long lease.
1t is hardly possible tn at the build.
ings for the mill will be erected this
year but all preparations will be made
to start early in the spring of next
year. The main building Will be about
the size of the Minnesota Seed Com
pany building, three stories high an6
operated by steam power SO that it car
run during the entire year.
There are many herds O.. sheep il
this county and many more will b
placed on the farms if there is evidence
that there is a market for the wool anC
this mill will be an advantage not only
to the people of this city but to the
farmers. It is a good thing and there
is every reason to believe that it viii

He says that in the disaster he lost
all of his personal belongings, his
library and other effects and was COM
PEELED for a time to camp with the rest
of the refugees in the outskirts of the
city. He had rooms at one of the
hotels that were destroyed and says
that the building in which the thar
macy in which he was employed was
damaged but little by the earthquake
but it was in the path of the fire and
went down before that with ease.
It will be years, he says, before the
city can be placed in anything near
the shape it was, and that though the
papers have given very vivid accounts
of the disaster they have not begun to
tell the story as it actually appeals to
those who were made to suffer from it.
He is not inclined to believe the stories
of graft that have found their way into
the newspapers in regard to the work
that is being done by the mayor. He
believes he is above that sort of thing
and is doing all he can possibly do to
make an even distri button of the ma
terials at hand and will eventually
succeed in bringing order out of the
disorder that at present controls the
situation. There are more than SO, 600
people still in tents unable to be shell
tered otherwise.

OLD COURT HOUSE MAY DISAPPEAR
Material May be Used in Building
Of Poor House.

August 10th is the date set by the
commissioners for opening bids for
the erection of the new home for the
poor of the county that is to be located
on the poor farm south of the city.
Architect van Deusen of Winona, has
instructions to prepare plans and spe-
cifcation for the building and the same
will be ready for use in a few days.
It is designed that the material Of
the old courthouse and jail which
stands on the corner of the courthouse
square shall be figured as part of the
material for the new building. The
brick and frame work to be worked
into the interior walls and the stone
into the basement.
In this way the commits ioners will
be able to have the building removed
from the corner where it is an eye sore
to the beauty of the block and secure
a large amount of expensive material
for the construction of the new home
for the poor.
This business as well as the matter
relating to the Sleepy Eye lake was
nsacted at special meeting Of the
commissioners that was held Wednes-
day morning at which time the con.
tract for furnishing the courthouse
with 100 tons of coal was let to Her.

NEW BROWN COUNTY, MINI. WEDNESDAY. JULY Is, 10

Mr.. Marschner has been in the wooden
mill business in this city for many
years, and while he has made only q
few lines of goods he has been able to
dispose of his product readily and
with number of popular lines and
articles such as are turned out in some
of the better mills the new enterprise
should meet with success from the very
start.

The crime of 5'73 seems to have been
revived by the statement said to have
been made by Mr.. Bryan that he stands
just where he did only a little frmer,

discussion of that embalmed corpse
once more.

Santa Fe in Contest With
Other Lines for Mail Contracts

The Santa Fe trains are making
better time these days than they have
since the beginning of winter. OF
course 1t affords abundant satisfac-
ton to many people to be able to
roast so great an institution as the
Santa Fe for not having its trains on
time. Running trains over the mighty
moutains of New Mexico and Ari.
zona during the cold weather Is, how.
ever, no trivial feat, and 1t Is small
wonder II several hours are lost during
the cold and frosty weather.
Despite such drawbacks, however,
the Santa Fe is now making deperate
efYorts to run its trains on time
in view of the fact that very soon the
government mail contracts now held
by the system will be relet for an.
other four years The Rock Island
Is competitor, but It Is believed
to be out Of the running. The
Southern Pacific IL q dangerous
competitor and the Union Pacific and
allied roads are going after the con.
tracts.
Las Vegas daily optic. [volume] (Las Vegas, N.M.) 1880-1908, 1906-01-06

It need not be supposed that the
Santa Fe is the only road that has
trouble in running IT. trains on schcd.
ule in the winter, The same sort Of
talk that Las vegans love to indulge
in about the Santa Fe is INDUCED in
by equally original-minded and fac
etious individuals along the lines Of the
other trans-continental roads. The
Santa Fe has been beating the record
of all the other lines. The northern
lines Of the Southern Pacific on which
the fast mail train was placed the other
day for advertising purposes, have
been blocked with snow and all trains
on all the continental lines have suf-
fered from snow except the southerly
branch Of the Southern Pacific and the
Santa Fe. The southerly Southern
Pacific. however, Is dependent for it's
connection with the east upon the
.bTockaded Rock Island.
The race struggle is going to be an
earnest one, with the odds in favor
Of the Santa Fe.
