memorandum is attached to the or

tions has run against the appellant
claim. The deceased was once resi-
dent of this state, and | think there
was no substantial evidence introduced
that he had acquired a residence else
where prior to his death, and hence it
seems to me that the statute of liml-
tations once having begun to run that
it has not been tolled."
The plaintiff sued for some $4,000
for board and lodging of Whitman
and the probate court disallowed this
An appeal was taken to the district

a verdict for $500. This is what the
court now sets aside.

voted to put $500 at the disposal
of the acting mayor to be used in
the murder. Last night
a special guard of two men was
placed over the premises, and the place
will be kept as it was when the crime
was discovered until the officers from
outside have had an opportunity to ex-
anime it.
Examined the Premises.
County Attorney Erickson, A. j.
Eckstein, chairman of the board of
county commissioners Coroner Fritsche,
Sheriff Julius and Chief of Police
Klause this morning inspected the
premises where the murder was COM
mitted. At the rear of the house
they discovered an opera glass in a
leather case, also box of 81 calibre
cartridges, box containing eleven
80 calibre cartridges and one 42-calibre
cartridge, one blank 32-calibre cart
ridges. All these were the property of
Mr.. "Walther and had been taken from
the house by the murderers and
thieves and dropped in the yard, they
being of no value to the perpetra-
tors of the crime.
Coroner Fritsche expressed the opin-
ion that Walther may have been shot,
but this will be determined at the
autopsy this afternoon.
Walther's brother arrived from
Cottonwood this morning. He stated
that his brother had accumulated
enough money to live on, but did not
know how much. He thought his
brother kept his valuables buried in
the cellar.
Premises Not Searched Carefully.
The premises has not been searched
with a view to locating money and
valuables. Last June Walther drew
some money from the State bank at
New Ulm. and during the first week
in November drew $50 i'll gold from
the Citizens bank. He attempted. to
dispose of 800 note at the bank,
but that institution would not accept
the paper He might have sold the
note to another party.
Pinkerton detectives are on the
ground and making an investigation of
the murder.
The police are of the opinion that
the murder was committed by local
toughs who were acquainted with the
old gentleman's manner of living.
Walther was sixty-nine years old
and had lived in New Ulm since 1881.
For number of years prior to that
he lived on a farm. He settled in
Brown county in 1868. He was ma
tive of Germany. He was weaver by
trade. For the past ten years he had
not been EMPLOYED.

A special meeting, of the school
board was held at 80 o'clock this
afternoon at the high school to con-
slider the case of young man who
had been suspended from the high
school, The suspension was first made
several weeks ago, but upon the young
mans signing an agreement that his
conduct should be above reproach if
he was reinstated, he was allowed to
return. His conduct was such that
it was thought by the faculty and
superintendent that it would be for
the best interests of the school If he
no longer attended it, and he was
again suspended.
The father of the boy and an older
brother appeared before the board this
afternoon and made plea, for rein
statement, but the matter was con-
sidered at some length yesterday by
members of the board and faculty in
conference, and a motion to sustain
the superintendent !, action was car
ried, six voting aye, and one declln'
ing to vote. ~ ..,l.sl
The reasons for, the suspension were
stated in detail in. lengthy report
upon the subject submitted to the
board by Mr.. Mcconnell, and the lads
father made an excellent presentation
of his side of the case, but the dis
cussion that followed was brief.
No other business was transacted
except the allowing of bills.
