ACCIDENTAL DEATH in TOWN sIGEL
August SchuIz's Life Crushed Out
by Gasoline Traction Engine.

While operating a gasoline traction
engine on his brothers. farm in Sigel
early Sunday morning, August Schulz,
a former New Ulmite, was accidentally
killed.
No one saw the accident, but the
supposition is that he stood on a box
on the engine platform as he backed
the machine out of the shed and, the
box slipping, Schulz, who was a man
with two artificial feet lost his bear
ings and was thrown to one side and
struck by the heavy wheels gainst his
hip and ribs. DR.. Weiser was imme-
diately summoned from New Ulm but
found the man dead on his arrival.
He notified Coroner Fritsche, but there
being no evidence of foul play an in
quest was considered unnecessary
Schulz was a man of about forty
years in age and very peculiar and
| shiftless in his habits. At one time
he was married, but his wife secured a
divorce and since then he has lived a
happy-go-lucky life with his brother
and another man on the formers farm
in Sigel.
Eight or nine years ago he lost both
of his feet through having them frozen
during one of his all-day and all-night
revels.

Men Locate Cause Of Flooded
L0WlandS.

A. L. Poehler of Henderson and
John A. Diers of Blakely we're in the
city Saturday on their way back from
an inspection tour of the Minnesota
river from their homes in the lower
valley to the headwaters OF the stream
at Ortonville. Messrs. Poehler and
Diers are members of the Minnesota
River Improvement association, re-
! Gently organized, and the object OF
their inspection tour was to satisfy
themselves accurately as to the amount
of ditching being done tributary to
the river and the consequent pro bablll-
ty of a recurrence of high water and
overlooked lands in the valley with
every heavy rain. They are now GER
tain that the sudden draining OF the
vast area stretching out for miles on
either side of the stream is directly re-
sponsible for the floods, and as soon
as statistics have been compiled their
next step will be to bring suit against
some one OF the ditching companies
now at work in the upper counties IN
. order to test the constitutionality OF
the present drainage law
In talking with a Review reporter
con corning their investig atoms Mr..
Diers said that between Big Stone
Lake and New Ulm only one out of
every twenty-four county bitches con-
tracted for had been completed. All
the rest were yet to be dug.
"When these extra bitches are COM
pleted,' said Mr.. Diers, who, by the
way, is an old civil and mining engi-
neer, sit means but one thing, and that
is the complete and permanent food
ing of the valley all the year round.
b When asked in regard to the much
talked-of dam at the outlet OF Big
Stone lake, Mr.. Diers stated that no
dam exists there. The channel at the
outlet is about thirty feet wide and the
water or stream is very sluggish Tor
four or FIVE miles, the current being
scarcely discernable A small dam
for milling purposes did exist there
once, but that has been taken out
Even if there had been a high dam at
the outlet and this had given away, in
Mr.. Diers' opinion it would have
practically no effect on the lower RI
yer, owing to the sluggishness of the
stream just after it leaves the lake.
No fear need ever be entertained by
the residents of the lower valley from
this source.

HIS SPOUSE PROVES UNFAlTHFUL

Ida Schultz. wife of Carl Schultz.
an employe at the Aufderheide brick
yard, disappeared last week, the sup
position being that she eloped with
another man.
Mrs. Schultz, whose maiden name
was Ida Kroening, has led rather
gay life since her marriage, and the
statement has been frequently made
on the streets the past few days that
without much effort she has managed
to get away with several hundred
dollars Of her husbands savings.
On the day on which she disappeared
she coaxed from him a check for $50,
claiming that she needed part Of the
money for household purposes, and
when he gave it to her, she had it
cashed, bought a trunk and boarded
an outgoing train for the east. People
who are best acquainted with her
habits and associations claim that
she was headed for North Dakota,

NEW ULM TO LOSE SCHAL LER
Popular College Director Receives
Call From School in
Wisconsin.
Unanimously Elected to Fill the
Vacancy Caused by the Death
of DIR. Hoenicke.

At a meeting of the trustees of the
Lutheran seminary at WauWatosa,
Wis, held at Winona last Friday, it
was unanimously voted to offer the
! presidency, held until recently by the
late DR.. Hoenicke, to Rev. Prof. John
Schaller of New Ulm.
At present Prof. Schaller is the pop
ular and satisfying head OF the Luther
an Teachers seminary or so-called
DR.. Martin Luther College in this city,
and while he admits that he is loath
to give up his work and associations
here, he realizes full well that the ten
der of the presidency of the Wauwa-
tosa school comes in the line OF pro-
motion and is therefore persuaded to
accept it.
Before he can do this, however, it
will be necessary for him to secure the
consent of the board of trustees of the
local institution, and while this will
undoubtedly be forthcoming it may be
some DAYS before Prof. Schaller will
be able to announce his decision.
Anent his removal from the city the
Review has heard nothing but express
sions of regret. His relations with the
college faculty and with his church
have been of the best, and his citizen
ship, throughout his entire residence
IN the community, has been OF that
character which affords an example to
others. He will leave feeling that he
enjoys the high regard of all who
% know him.
