New Ulm Journal: The closing of
the Grand hotel has had the effect
of causing congestion in the hote
business in this city. Several times
travelling men were unable to fine
quarters and prevailed upon Mr.
Moan to give them lodging, which
he did, but says that he will not de
so in the future. The hotel is closec
for good so far as he is concerned
Less knocking and more boosting

commodations in this city. 1t is
