NEW ULM'S CANDIDATE.

The Minneapolis. Tribune has in.
augurated popular voting contest
whereby at least one Of the winners
will secure an automobile and several
of them will be given free trips to the
Jamestown exposition and Niagara
Falls. This state has been divided
into several districts and the person
receiving the largest number of votes
in each district will be entitled to a
trip. The one receiving the greatest
number of votes, in the entire state,
outside OF Minneapolis, will be given
the automobile.
Mrs. F. w. Johnson of this city has
been selected as one Of the candidate
and by her numerous friends it is con-
idently expected that she will be able
to land the grand prize.
Every person making a payment to
the Tribune, on either an old or new
subscription, is entitled to a certain
number of votes. These votes, as far
as New Ulm and the surrounding
country is concerned, should certainly
go to Mrs. Johnson.

O'Clock, started for his room at the
Grace Hotel. He was alone at the
time and there was nothing about his
appearance or actions to arouse sus-
picion. A few seconds after he had
started up the stairway, however,
people in the hotel bar below
heard someone fall. Several men ran
out into the hall and found Lehrer ~
ing on the floor at the foot of the
stairs. He was bleeding from a wound
on the head and was unconscious.
Heart trouble had caused him to fall
and the fall resulted in the fracture of
his skull. He died while in the patrol
wagon on the way to the city hospital.
Mr.. Lehrer was about forty five
years of age and had led a rowing
career nearly all his life.

CASPAR OLSTAD SUCCEEDS KOHN
Hanska Man Selected to Manage
Minnesota CentraI'S Business
in This City.

The vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of Otto Kohn as local mana ger
for the Minnesota Central Telephone
Company has been filed by the selec-
ton Of Caspar Olstad Of Hanska, and
it goes, almost without saying that
the selection is good one.
Mr.. Olstad has been manager for
the Hanska Rural Telephone Company
for over year and in that time he
has proved to be valuable man
whose services the company hates to
lose. Mr.. Olstad realizes however
that the New Ulm job affords him
greater opportunities for experience,
and in accepting it he will meet with a
cordial reception from business men
generally.
His place in Hanska is being filled
by Einar Toenberg with Morris Will
Jams of Mankato as assistant.

WHAT HAS BECOMEOF TOWNE
Former HoteIkeeper and Game
Warden Disappears from
MankatO.
Used to Run Hotel in Springfield
and was Prominent in Sport
ing Circles.
Debts Amounting to Many Hun
dred Dollars Stand Against
Him in Mankato.

What has become of G. G. Towne?
That is a question that,is bothering a
number of creditors in Mankato.
Towne used to be the proprietor Of
a hotel in Springfield, which still goes
by his name, and for a number of
years he was game warden for Brown
county under a Republican admins
tration.
OF late years he has had charge of
the City Hotel in Mankato, but all of
a sudden it seems he became tired of
his job and now the Mankato papers
are inquiring as to his whereabouts.
The latest information is that he and
his family are in Spokane, but as to
this there is nothing certain.
The reason for the interest in his
sudden departure from Mankato arises
from the fact that he leaves number
OF creditors who are wondering where
they are at.
One Of these creditors is Henry Him
melman, owner of the City hotel. His
claim is for rent and he has some
thing like S1lO coming.
Another creditor is e. j. Himmel-
man who asserts that Towne owes him
a balance of $3.50 on bar fixtures.
Still another is the owner of the
hotel furniture who claims balance of
1868.
The original purchase price of the
furniture was $500 and to cover this
ToWne gave a chattel mortgage.
Shortly before leaving he sold out to
J. E. Southwick and secured $500
from him on the pretext that he would
use it to square up his rent balances
and apply the remainder on the mort
gage. Now that Towne is gone South
wick finds that no part of the agree
ment was carried out and that his $500
are as good to him as if they had been

FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE
Disastrous Wreck Occurs on North.
western Road in this City
Monday Evening.
RearEnd Collision Results in Prop.
erty Loss of $4,000.
Fortunately no Lives Were Lost
and no One was Injured.

A shattered locomotive, shoulder
ing caboose and the splindered frag-
ments of two or three box cars, all
scattered along the Northwestern track
just below the place where it crosses
the St. Louis, told the story yesterday
morning of terrible rear-end COLI
sion that occurred about nine O'Clock
the evening before.
The loss caused by the wreck is
figured at something like $4,000, but
fortunately no lives were lost and no
one was injured.
The disaster happened in this way.
Conductor Towne brought specia
freight in from the west shortly
before nine O'Clock. He left part
of the train standing on the main line
on the steep grade few blocks west
Of the depot and sent the engine and
it's crew to the water tank in the yards
for water.
While this was being done Conductor
Anderson was bringing the regular
east-bound freight down the grade
from Milford at high rate of speed.
Anderson was riding in the cab with
Engineer Riley and the fireman and
all saw the danger ahead of them the
moment they rounded the curve.
But it was too late. Airbrakes were
applied to the full extent without e.
feet. Disaster was inevitable, and the
crew knew it. Accordingly they all
jumped and all escaped with their lives
and without injury

Then came the crash. The engine
caboose and two cars rolled over the
steep embankment and a third car was
thrown lengthwise across the track
Fire soon started in the caboose, but
prompt work on the part of the New
U]m fire department prevented the
flames from spreading to the rest O.
the train.
One of thecar demolished contained
barley and another wheat. Immediate
ly back Of the ones which were
wrecked were cars containing stock
one of them from the Minnesota-Ca attic
company's ranch near Everett.
AS luck would have it the caboost
OF the special train was empty at the
time the collision occurred.

GUTTERSON STILL A CANDIDATE
European Trip Failed to Cure Him
Of the Congressional Itch.

Returning from a three months trip
through the European countries Gill
bert Gutterson in Washington the
other day announced that he intended
to file again for the republican nomi-
ton for congress in the Second Dis
trict of Minnesota. He also said that
he proposed making a thorough can
vass of the district.
A year ago Gutterson came within
few votes of winning out over Nc
Cleary. It was a fight then against
great odds, but, now that Hammond
has driven McCleary from congress
sional life, it is figured that Gutter
son S chances, EVENT. McCleary should
again be his opponent, have greatly
improved.
In Washington it is thought that it
will be the old fight over again. Nc
Cleary, although relegated to place
in the postoffice department, is said to
be availing himself of all possible OPP
portunities to keep himself before the
people of the district which he served
so long. He still retains his congress
sional frank and he keeps on sending
out stream of correspondence with
his whilom managers and hackers.
In contest between the two the SEN
timent of thedistrictis unquestionably
in favor of Gutterson, but a third can
didate, like Ward of Fairmont, might
work wonders in favor of McCleary.
In that event, Hammond is sure to
be returned for another term, not
withstanding his natural inaptitude
for politics and his well-known aca-
demic notions of public service.

st. Peter have been visiting here since

Man Without a Home Meets U)nex
pected Death in Minneapolis.

Joseph Lehrer, a former New Ulm-
tie, fell down a stairway in Minneapo-

Joseph is a brother of M. Lehrer,
the well-known Springfield capitalist,
and it was in response to a letter from
the latter, urging him to come to
Springfield and settle down to steady
employment, that Joseph had left the
harvest fields of North Dakota and
travelled as far as Minneapolis. Here
he decided to see the sights before
leaving for Springfield.
Thursday evening he seemed to be

COULDN'T SAVE CHILD's LIFE
Midnight Fire in a Farmhouse Cau-
SeS a Pitiful Death.

In Comfrey special to the Mime
apolis Journal of Monday the parti-
culars relative to the burning of Axel
Stork's farmhouse in the southwest
end of the county and the terrible
leath of his little daughter are given
as follows:
At midnight Mr.. Stork was awak-
ened by the cracking of flames ana
the odor of smoke. Presenting the
fire to be upstairs and bent upon warn
ing his children, three girls and two
boys, he FASTENED to the stairway, but
found that it was obstructed by mass
of flames. He then hurried to the barn
for ladder and quickly broke in an
upstairs window. The children. al
most overcome with smoke and heat.
were rescued with the exception of one
girl years old. She evidently had
wandered from the room in which she
had slept with her sisters, for on re-
turning to take her from the burning
building her father, almost overcome
by heat and smoke, was unable to find
her.
| Neighbors FASTENED to the rescue,
when the flames were noticed, but all
help arrived too late to be of any
practical benefit.
| A. G. Hickel is Comfrey's new mar
shall and street commissioner. He
succeeds Jos. Schumacher, who re-
signed in order to become wheat buyer
for Bingham Bros.
A well-known after-dinner speaker
| in New York said the other day:
'Choosing husband is like choosing
mushrooms-if it is mushroom, you
live; if it is toadstool, you die.''

thrown into FIRE. Mr.. Zimmerman,
owner OF the hotel, absolutely refuses
to give Mr.. Seuthwick a lease until
ToWne's obligations have been liqui-
dated, either by voluntary payment or
foreclosure.
And it was this same Mr.. Towne
who objected to the appointment of
Democratic successor by Gov. john
son on the ground that he was dead
beat.

YESTERDAYS RACES.

Three thousand people witnessed the
racing events at the fair or ounds yes
terday.
The track was slow, owing to the

was plenty of excitement and general
satisfaction with the attractions.
In the 2:lO trot and 2:17 pace, only
three horses started. Lee W won three
straight heats, Alice Medium came in
second each time and Fred G finished
third. The best time made in this race
was 2:35.
In the 2:27 trot or 2:35 pace Dan
LETTERS won first money, Kal G second,
Mildred third and Gray Boy fourth.
The time made in the three heats, all
of which were won easily by Dan JEFF
fers, was 2:37, 1891 and 2:4O.
Five horses started in the half-mile
