here and the success of the city as a
manufacturing town in all lines.

cally all men with families, who are
paid good wages and make the best of

The site for the buildings has not

Fine High School Building Destroyed

The city of Corunna is again exceed

the contents, with an insurance OF $685.
600. The building was the pride of
the citizens Of Corunna and the people
of the county sympathize with them in
| their loss. The fire started in the night
Monday and was not discovered until
it had made saving the building an I'M
possibility. John Newell discovered
smoke issuing from the windows and
doors while driving by the building at
o'clock Tuesday morning and gave an
alarm to which every one in Corunna
responded. The fire department soon
had three streams of water on the build
ing, but this was of little effect, the
whole under floor being then on fire
and in short time the inside of the
building was consumed and the roof
fell in. People in the neighborhood
had smelled smoke for couple of hours
but as no flames broke out did not To-
cate the fire.
The building was practically three
stories high, the basement floor extend
ing above ground to the height of an or
binary first floor and was built in 1881
to replace three story building burned
at that time. The building was well
constructed, except as to exits, and was
equipped with an $1,000 library, ex-
cellent chemical labratory, first class
furniture. The books of 400 pupils
were burned entailing loss of from s2
to SO each.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
but was probably caused by combus-
tion in the laboratory.
A small building on the south end of
the high school lot was not injured and
is used by the primary grades. The
school board will make arrangements
to build Immediately and the scholars
will be quartered in the old Presbyte-
rian church and other buildings and the
years work completed without inter-
| ruption for more than few days.

Tragedy Occurred Sunday After.
noon on Crone Farm at
Swan Lake.
Victim was Daughter of John Ubl
a Former Resident of
New Ulm.

Emily, the three-year-old daughter
of John Ubl, a former resident of New
Ulm, who is at present a renter on
Ferdinand Crone's farm adjoining
Swan Lake in Nicollet county, was
burned to death Sunday afternoon.
Early in the afternoon, it seems, r.
Walter, the aged Swan Lake trapper,
started fire in some slough grass on
Ubl's premises, thinking to do Ubl a
favor. The slough was not more than
a hundred feet from the Ubl home and
the three children of the renter were
attracted by the flames and played in
the neighborhood.
The clothes of the youngest became
ignited, and before her older brother
could run to the house to summon Mrs,
Ubl the little one was enveloped in
flames. When Mrs. Ubl arrived on
the scene, the child was unconscious
and in spite of every effort to save her
life she died within half an hour.
Mr.. Ubl, the father, used to be a
carpenter in New Ulm and the news OF
the terrible misfortune that had be.
fallen him and his wife was terrible
shock to all his friends.

BRINGS SUIT AGAINST ERIE ROAD
Eagle Roller Mill Co. Of this City
Asks DAMAGES in the Sum
Of $500.

The Eagle Roller Mill Co. of this
city brought suit in Chicago last week
against the Erie Railroad company to
recover on a claim of $500.
The company's claim is based on the
loss of flour destroyed by fire in the
warehouse of the railroad in Buffalo.
New York, in 1906. As will be recalled
the Star & Crescent Milling Company
Of Chicago obtained final decision in
the United States supreme court two
weeks ago on -four owned by that COM
pany and destroyed in the same fire,
and the Eagle Roller Mill Company
believes it has even stronger case
against the railroad thar did the Star
& Crescent people.
The two cases are of decided interest
to several milling firms and likewise
to certain insurance companies.

this play she has brought one OF the
most facile talents and one of the most
surprising dramatic temperaments that
the modern stage has known. Her
impersonation of "Du Barry, follow
ing that of her memorable triumph as
s'Zaza," was a cause for general
amazement, for it is only at rare in
tervals that successes such as these
follow each other. But it should not
be overlooked, when this achievement
is considered, that Mrs. Carter is an
actress of surprising talents. She
has been able to mount higher and
higher, to follow triumph after tri-
umph, because she has genius for
acting; because she has mobile artis-
try and, as one writer has phrased it,
an incompatible temperament .
Mrs. Carter as Du Barry set new
mark, the highest mark that has yet
been reached by an emotional actress
in this country. Like her tempera-
ment, her impersonation OF this role
is Incompatible. Besides "Du Bar
ry" is a great play, one OF the very
best that our stage has known.

Siegfried Flygare of Bernadotte
Plays Joke With Terribly
Fatal Effect.
Points Shotgun at Frank Ander.
sons Head, Not Knowing 1t
Was Loaded.
Contents are Discharged and Tear
Off One Whole Side of
Victims Face.
COroner's Inquest May Result in
Holding Flygare Criminally
Responsible.

Sunday afternoon in the town of
Bernadotte in Nicollet county, Sieg-
fried Flygare, son of Chas. Flygare,
pointed shotgun at his friend, Frank
W. Anderson of Lafayette, pulled the
trigger and blew off one side of An
derson's head.
OF course it was the old, old story
Flygare was only joking. he did not
know the gun was loaded and he did
not intend to do Anderson any harm
but the damage was done just the
same. Anderson is dead and Flygare
is heart-broken youth facing the
charge Of criminal responsibility for
a foolish act.
The accident took place GA the farm
Of John Flygare, an uncle of Sieg-
fried's who lives not far from the
Bernadotte Lutheran church.
Anderson, who was hired man on
farm near Lafayette, had come there
early in the afternoon to play ball
with Siegfried and his cousins, Arthur
and Harry.
Siegfried and Anderson went into
the house for some reason Or other,
and when Siegfried espied an old shot
gun standing in the corner he picked
it up and in a Joking way pointed it
at his companion and told him to hold
up his hands or he would shoot. At
the same time he cooked the gun, and
when Anderson failed to do as he was
ordered he pulled the trigger, never
thinking, he says. that the gun might
be loaded. Unexpectedly there was a
disch arge, the contents struck Ander-
son full in the face, and killed him in
stantly. So close were the men that
one whole side of Anderson's head
was shot away and the rest of his face
was disfgured beyond recognition.
=, Reports are in circulation to the ef-
feet that young Flygare felt SO badly
over the results of his folly that he
attempted to take his own life, first by
ha nging and afterwards by drowning,

the authorities as having no founda-
ton in fact. 1t is admitted, however,
that the young man fully appreciates
the enormity of his deed and is com
pletely overcome with fear and re-
morse. He is only nineteen years old
while his companion was twenty-four.
Early Monday morning Sheriff OF.
sen and Coroner Merritt of Nicollet
county drove out to the Flygare farm
and after q few preliminary inquiries
decided to hold an inquest. A jury
was sworn in, composed of William
Gustafson, Alex. Hall, John Erickson,
E. F. Wallin, r, Lindquist and j. F.
Carlson, and as soon as the county
attorney is able to leave his court
duties at ST. Peter a thorough inves-
tigation will be made into the nature
of the tragedy. This will probably be
on Monday, the 18th.
