IO3 BALLOTS WITHOUT AVAIL
New Council fails to Organize at its
Meeting Last Night.
Deadlocked, They Take 1913 Bal,
lots Without Result.
Former President Pfaender and
Alderman Graft Tied for
the HOnors.

AS was generally anticipated by
= those who had inside information, the
council last night after hours of voting
failed to organize.
John p. Graf of the 1st ward and
Fred Pfaender of the 3rd ward were
pat ia nomination for President of the
council. With an intermission Of only
Is minutes the aalloting for president
of the council kept up for three solid
hours when at l1:30 p. m. the l03d bal
lot had been taken without securing a
choice.
Buenger and Meyer stood by Graft
and Wicherski and Nagel by Pfaender.
Owing to the necessity of approving
y the liquor license bonds and granting
the licenses, the council after some
more wrangling succeeded in perfect
ing a temporary organization elect
ing councillor Graft as temporary
chairman. After disposing of this
business under suspension Of the rules,
the council adjourned subject to the
call of the Mayor.
AS several members of the city
council will be absent from the city
for the next few days, the next meet
ing of the council will hardly be called
before Friday or Saturday.
1t is to be hoped that in the mean
time the members of the council will
realize that it is not just to the tax
T payers to prolong this certainly un-
necessary contest.
The voters at the last election in nc
uncertain terms registered their pre-.
ferences and the wishes of the citizens
should certainly be needed.

COURT DECLARES HIN DEAD
August Patsche, Missing Heir, is
Dead in Eyes of Law.
Judge Ross SO DEGREES and Admits
His Estate to Probate.
Mrs. Minnie Patsche Will Receive
Legacy Left to Her Husband.

An unusual case came up in the pro-
bate court last Friday morning, when
Attorney Geo. T. Olsen of st. peter
appeared before Juage Ross and asked
that August Patsche, a former resident
OF New Ulm, be declared legally dead.
He asked that letters of administra-
ton be issued on Patsche's estate. and
his petition was granted by the court.
The Patsche case came into promi-
hence some time ago, and it had a
number of unusual features. When
Henry Patsche, father of August Pat
sche, died at his home in ST. Peter he
left several heirs. All of these were
located with the exception of August
Patsche, and when the elder mans es-
tate came up for settlement he could
not be found.
He was traced to Crookston and then
to Superior, Wis, where it was ascer-
tanned that he shipped as sailer on
a lake vessel. His ship sailed from
the port in December, 1898, and since
that time all trace of him has been lost.
On learning of his disappearance
| his wife, Mrs, Minnie Patsche of this
city, advanced a claim to the legacy
left him by his father. She retained a
lawyer and based her case on the state
law that, after person has been alb.
sent for seven years, he is assumed tc
be dead. This point was argued be.
fore Judge Ross Friday morning, an6
he ordered the estate admitted to pro
bate, naming Mrs. Minnie Patsche as
administrators.
Her husbands inheritance, amount
ing to some 81, 200, is in the hands O
Philip Dick of ST. Peter, administra
tor Of the estate of Henry Patsche
and the money will doubtless be paie
over to her in short time.

AGED men COMMIT SUICIDE
Gottlieb Schrodt and Martin Re
niger Resort to Self
Destruction.
In Fit of Dependency Schrodt
Fired Bullet Through
His Brain.
While Temporarily Insane Re-
niger Gashed Throat With
Fatal Result.

Finding life uncomfortable, two aged
men, Gottlieb Schrodt and Martin
Remiger, committed suicide last week.
The former sent a bullet crashing
through his brain, and Remiger
gashed his throat with razor. It
is supposed that both men ended their
lives on the same day.
Mr.. Schrodt who rented a room
from Fred Schwartz, residing on
North Payne street, committed his act
of self-destruction in ftof despon-
dency. His life had not been happy
one, and when he recently received
word from Germany that his brother
had been drowned in boating acct
dent the news caused him to become
melancholy and morose. For more
an week he had been loW-spirited,
and statements he made to various
persons indicate that he carefully
planned the rash deed.
He was last seen alive on Monday
afternoon, when he sat on the porch
of the Schwartz home and appeared
very discouraged and detected. Late
in the afternoon he retired to his
room, and it was there that his life
less body was found by VIM. Bier
baum, Sr., another ledger.
The latter did not grow suspicious
until Wednesday, but when he entered
Schrodt's room that afternoon he
found the mans body lying on the
bed. It was fully clothed, and there
was bullet hole just behind the left
ear. Clenched in his left hand was
the weapon, 32-calibre revolver, with
five cartridges still in the chamber.
Mr.. Bierbaum promptly notified
Sheriff VIM. j. Julius and Coroner u
| A. Fritsche, and when they had in.

LOSES LIFE UNDER WHEELS
Alfred Wellner, Son of Fred Well
ner, is Accidentally Killed.
Falls Under Wheels OF Heavy
Wagon and Is Crushed to
Death.
Terrible Tragedy Occurredat Four
O'clock Last Saturday After
noon.

A shocking accident occurred late
last Saturday afternoon, when Alfred
Wellner, the l0-year-old son OF Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Wellner of Lafayette
township, met with almost instant
death. The unfortunate little boy was
crushed under the wheels Of heavy
wagon, and expired within few
seconds after he was hurt.
When the terrible tragedy occurred
Mr.. Wellner was hauling cement for
new house which he intends to erect on
his farm about two miles from the
city. He used three teams. the first
being driven by a hired man in his
employ, the second by his two sons,
Harvey, aged u, and Alfred, aged 10,
and the third by Mr.. Wellner, himself
They were making their last trip for
the day and about four O'Clock they
reached the foot of the Mueller hill.
At that point Alfred Wellner, who
was driving the second team, descend
ed from the wagon to Tighten the load,
j .
aud a moment later the accident oc-
CURED. Exactly how it happened is
not known, but it is supposed that the
boy slipped and fell and that, retain
ing his hold on the reins, he was
ierked under the wagon. Its weight
of nearly two tons passed over his
body, crushing his left knee and thigh
and fracturing his right shoulder.
Although some distance in the rear,
Mr.. Wellner heard his sons Shrek of
agony, but before he could reach the
injured boys side the latter was be-
yond human help. AS soon as posi-
BILE the boy was carried to the home
Of Martin Mueller, and summons
was sent for DR.. o. G. Stricken, but
the victim of the accident gasped but
few times and died.
Alfred Wellner was ten years OF
age, and an unusually bright little
fellow for his years. Naturally his
terrible death is cruel blow for his
parents. and his mother has been fair
i y Frustrated with grief. In addition
to his sorrowing father and mother,
he is survived by his older brother,
who was at his side when he was
killed
The funeral was held from the Luth-
eran church on Tuesday afternoon.
Rev. C. j.. Albrecht conducted the
services, and the remains were laid to
rest IN the Lutheran cemetery.

NEW ULM PIANIST HlGHLY HONORED
Miss Maude Hasberg Given a Rous--
ing Welcome bya Large
Audience.

The following clipping from an Ann
Arbor daily paper will be of great in
terest to the host of friends of Miss
Maude Hagberg, senior student of the
School of Music of that city. There,
are none but who congratulate her up
on her brilliant success.
''The first of the series of graduation
recitals by the senior pupils of the
School of Music, was given last night
in Frieze Memorial hall by Miss
Maude Hagberg, a pupil of Prof. Al
bert Lockwood. 1t was probably one
OF the most brilliant graduation re-
citals ever given in the school and,
one of the most appreciated. The hall.
was crowded and the audience was.
carried away by the wonderful powers.
of this young pianist.
"Miss Hagberg is only nineteen
1 years of age and much of her training
has been under Prof. Lockwood. Her
execution last night demonstrated her
as a product accreditlng much to both
teacher and school. The program rem
dered was most difficult one. The
selections were from Beethoven, Bach
Chopin, Leschetizky, List and Greige
and the rendition of the full program
was marvellous. Not only was the
technique brilliant, but the self-pos-
session and assurance with which she
j played was most unusual and the
whole atmosphere of the player was
that of the artist. Miss Hagberg' S
home is in New Ulm, MINI. She is a
member of Sigma Alpha Iota soro rity.

SILVER WEDDING ANNIVERSARY.
MIR. and Mrs. Henry Engel Surprised
by a Host of Friends.

1t was certainly a happy and enthu-
siastic gathering that assembled at
Turner Hall last evening to celebrate
the silver wedding of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry Engel.
The members of the New Ulm Turn
verein and of the ladies' society had
arranged this celebration without
consulting the guests of honor and it
was certainly surprise to them when
they were summoned to leave their
coy little home where they had
planned to spend the evening in a
quiet way and repair to Turner Hall.
Shortly after nine o'clock the or
chestra struck up a wedding march
and the bridal party entered the hall
where they were enthusiastically re-
ceived by their friends.
After having been escorted to the
place of honor, Miss Alice Haeberle
with few happy and appropriate re-
marks decorated the bride and groom
with the customary silver decorations.
The most inspiring part of the cere-
mony proved the appearance of our
| respected citizen, John G. Rudolph,
father Of the bride, who presented the
couple with a beautiful boquet and his
best wishes. Everyone present was
visibly affected by this inspiring
scene.
| Then Capt. Steinhauser the presi-
dent of the New Ulm Turnverein was
called upon to oficiate at the wedding
ceremony and he did SO in a semie
humorous vein which waswell received.
| After all the guests had offered their
congratulations, Mrs. Frank Burg Sr.
on behalf of the ladies' society pre-
sented the bridal couple with beauti-
full silver present.
The wedding repast which was served
at IL O'Clock was a most elaborate one
and the table decorations were certain
ly beautiful.
After some speeches, singing and
physical culture exercises, the wedding
party repaired to the large hall where
they resumed dancing. It was certain
! ly a very enjoyable affair.
