MAY SECURE BRAZILIAN LEGACY
George and Herman SchIottman
are Put on Trace Of timex.
pected Fortune.

According to dispatch from the
national capital two Nicollet county
men, Geo. W. Schlottman of Court
land, and Herman Schlottman, for
merly of CORTLAND but now residing
at Ellsworth, figure in romantic
story of lost fortunes and missing
relatives, which is told in report
just received from the American
consular officials in England.
The consular investigation was
made in behalf of the Messrs. Schlott-
man and shows that some time ago the
Nicollet county men we're solicited by
a firm of British attorneys to place IN
their hands the recovery of a fortune
supposed to have been left in one OF
the British provinces by deceased
uncle of the Schlottmans.
Not wishing to be duped by foreign
attorneys. the Minnesota men had the
matter taken up through the Anne rican
consulate. The facts alleged by the
English lawyers were not established
by the investigation, but incidentally
the Schl ottmans learned that an uncle,
Christopher Schlottman, who rar
away from this country during the
Civil war, had died in Brazil. He
left small fortune, and this his heir.
will undertake to recover.
Christopher Schlottman was a Unior
soldier. He was captured by the Con
federate army, but managed to MAKE
his escape and fed to South America
All trace of him has been lost. ST

STARTLING DISCLOSURES
New Phase Put on Arbogast
Murder Mystery by Recent
Developments.
Grand Jury Indicts Widow as
Well as Daughter.
Motive Believed to Haye Been
Sufficient to Excuse the
Terrible Deed.

Startling disclosures are being made
from day to day in the Arbogast
murder mystery in ST. Paul, and,
although the papers are having very
little to say about them, enough has
leaked ont to mike certain that when
full developments come, as it is said
they surely will when witnesses are
placed on the stand in open court, a
sensation will be sprung which will
disclose family skeleton the like OF
which has seldom had an airing be-
fore Minnesota jury.
Both Mrs. Arbogast, the widow OF
the murdered butcher, and Louise, his
eldest and favorite daughter, have
now been indicted by the grand jury.
Louise may or may not have to face
trial, depending all upon the develop
ments of the next two or three weeks,
but that Mrs. Arbogast will have to
there can be no doubt. She is now
under arrest at her home and will be
taken to the county Jail as soon as
her burns have healed sufficiently to
permit of her being moved.
It's believed by many that Louise
will be made to stand trial first. The
prosecuting officials, it is said, are now
convinced that she is not insane, and
probably has not been, and that her
willingness to go through the ordeal
OF arrest and Indictment is explained
by the fact that she expected to be
sent to some asylum for time as an
insane person thus diverting attention
from the real murder. She said
recently to visitor, it is reported:
ST will go to the gallows before I will
say word to harm my mother"
The prosecuting authorities, it is
claimed, no longer regard her as the
perpetrator of the crime but they dc
regard her as the indirect cause and

The highest courts of both Great
Britain and France have recently
passed upon the question of bleaching
flour and their findings are particu-
larly pertinent in view of the conten-
ton between the millers in our winter
wheat belt and the national pure food
commission. In both instances the.
courts decided that the bleaching of
flour produced no deleterious effects.
The French tribunal even held that the
testimony showed the food qualities of
Hour were actually improved by the
process.
In the British case the principal wit
ness to sustain the contention that
bleaching was harmful was Prof. Ladd
OF North Dakota, by whose expert
ments the ruling in this country is to
be largely determined. Two eminent
British scientists followed minutely
Mr.. Ladd's experiments and arrived
at exactly opposite results. British
laws are much more stringent in this
respect than our own, and those of
France are the most exacting in the
world. The enforcement of pure food
laws abroad is also rigid and if.
bleached flour can stand the test there.
but fail here, the American law must.
go further than necessary to insure
purity of the food. Omaha Bee.

they feel that if she is made to go
through the strain of trial she win
tell all. They certainly will resist
every effort to have her adjudged
insane.
When Mrs. Arbogast is brought to.
the bar OF justice it is believed that
she will admit the crime, but that she
will offer in extenuation the plea Of
justifiable homicide the fact that she
committed the deed in frenzy Of fury
when she discovered conditions in her
household that robbed her for the
moment of reason and the further fact
that she attempted to commit suicide
after the murder of her husband bv
throwing herself on the bed which had
been saturated with gasoline and then
set afire.
The character of the burns on her
back is one of the most important
pieces of evidence brought to bear to,
strengthen this theory.
The motive which she is said to
have had for her husbands murder
is such as to make impossible her
conviction before any jury.

League Will Not Neglect Its
Opportunities.

Officers of the Minnesota River I'M
