1.-THE GIRL OVER THERE y

"The Girl Over There new wes-
tern play with music, in which Mabel
McCane and an unexcelled company
Of forty artists will appear at the Tur-
ner Theatre next Sunday evening, has
more developed plot, story and action
than anything of the kind yet offered
the amusement loving public. The
story from a dramatic standpoint
alone would make an exceptional eve
ning's entertainment without note of
music, but when there is added thereto
a dozen of the most charming melodies,
set off with lyrics that mean some-
thing and with reason for every
thing, "The Cir. Over There makes
a new mark for musical attractions.
| Then besides there is a chorus une-
qualed from both vocal and beauty
| standpoint. In fact the chorus is one
of the sensations of the production.
The scenic and costume equipment,
too, is said to be the equal in elabor-
ate and startling effects of anything
placed on the road this season.
Early in March New Ulm theatre
goers will have an opportunity to see
that captivating musical fantasy,
1.-THE Gingerbread Man." which is be-
| ing presented this year in a manner
| that fairly makes former presentations
of the play look like the proverbial
fairy ticket or thirty cents half spent.
Scores Of travelling men who visit
New Ulm have witnessed the elaborate
production of the new musical play
which comes to the Turner Theatre
next Sunday evening and all Of them
agree in pronouncing ''The Girl Over
There" one of the hits of the year.

Reese and William Thomas Meet
Horrible Death in Burn
ing Cottage.
Former Stripped by Flames of
Everything Save Shoes
and Mittens.
Latter, in Running to Spring, is
Burned Almost Beyond
Recognition.
Catastrophe Caused by Explosion
Of Kerosene Early Mon
day Morning.
Victims Were Well-Known Bache.
lors Who Had Lived Near
Cambria Many Years.

Monday forenoon DIR. L. A. Fritsche
Of this city received a professional
sail from the neighbors of Reese and
William Thomas, whose home for
year or more past has been in a
small farm building in the Minnesota
E bottoms two miles east of Cambria.
On arriving there he was confronted
with the evidences of catastrophe the
like of which has few parallels in the
eventful history of this vicinity.
The house Itself was framework of
eharred embers.
Just outside the door was Reese
Thomas, his clothes stripped from
his body and his flesh terribly burned,
Forty rods away at the home of
Richard Williams, were the almost
unrecognizable remains of the younger
brother, William. William had es-
capped from the flames to spring
near the Williams place and into this
he had thrown himself with the hope
of saving his life. The Williams
family found him there and took him
to their home, but in spite OF heroic
efforts to relieve his sufferings he
lived barely long enough to tell his
awful story.
Shortly after seven O'Clock, he said,
Reese Thomas got up from the bed in
which they both slept and started a
FIRE in the stove.
He then went out to do the chores.
Returning in half an hour, he found
the fire nearly extinguished.
A large kerosene can stood in one
corner of the room and taking this to
the stove he started to pour some OF
Z the contents onto the dying embers.
In an instant there was an explosion
and the interior Of the little shack en-
tirely enveloped in flames.
Reese, in trying to escape, got as
far as the door and fell just outside.
AS stated above the flames had
stripped him of all wearing apparel,
save his mittens and shoes, and his
body was singed from head to foot.
William, on the other hand, man
aged to reach the open air and in his
burning night clothes ran as far as
the spring near the Williams place,
little over forty rods away. Throw
' ing himself into the water he succeeded
in extinguishing the flames, but not
until his entire body had been terribly
burned.
Reese and William were aged re-
spectively thirty-seven and thirty
three years. They were both born in
Cambria and had lived there all their
lives.
After the death of their parents, Mr..
and Mrs. e. j. Thomas, they con-
tinued to live for a time on the old
homestead, but in 1906 they left the
cid farm in charge of their brothers
and moved into the bottoms along the
river about two miles east Of Cambria.
, Although neither Of them had ever
married, they were known as indus
trious and thrifty farmers and the
probabilities are that each was
possessed of considerable means.
La New Ulm where they did much Of
their trading, they had many &C
auaintances among the business men
and likewise many friends who were
panied to hear OF their unnatural
and frightful death.
