New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1906-01-31

While hauling ice from the river
Friday John Schons felt his load Slip
ping from under him and before he
could recover himself the ice had
slipped to the ground and he along
with it. He was thrown on his face

as to unfit him for work. He is of the
opinion that ice is about as slippery
as some of the reported tax dodgers.
Henry j. Berg Of Sleepy Eye. who
asplres to the Office of treasurer of this
county, was in the city last week keep
ing in touch with the conditions poll
teal. If he found out anything more
than that he was a candidate he did
better than most people have been able
to do. Ambitious politicians in this
county have a very good faculty of
keeping their ambitions to themselves
until near the time for action, which is
the difference between them and those
of Redwood county.
According to the Sleepy Eye Herald
one of the reporters for that paper had
an Interview with Sheriff julius who
made trip to that place recently, and
learned from him that he would be a
candidate to succeed himself as sheriff,
1t is the opinion OF most of the people
OF this part of the county that Mr..
Julius can have the Office as long as
he wants it. So far we have heard of
no person who has been bold. enough
to even suggest that he would like to
oppose the good natured sheriff for
the Office.

i had brief visit with Senator Nelson.
Congressman Tawney and other mem
| bers OF the Minnesota delegation. On
his way home, Mr.. Somerville stopped
in Ohio on business, visiting several
points in the southern part OF the
state. The contrast between the con-
sentative and easy-going residents of
the Buckeye state whom he met, and
the gophers, SO struck him that on his
return he expressed the belief that we
are living in the "best country on
earth. right here in Southern Mime
