New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-11-03

ing Jos. Filzen's, on North Broadway.
The fire was put out before the shed
was wholly destroyed, although there
was danger to other buildings while the
shed was burning.
Joseph Finn, LIE Sueur county boy,
now man of some age, who has farm
in North Dakota near the Canadian
border, where he resides, was passing
through the city Wednesday, and he
made very friendly call at the News
Office in the afternoon. He is near
relative of Mr.. and Mrs. M. Mullen, with
whom he spent the day.
VIM. B. Mather, who did not draw
any chance for land on the South Da-
kota Indian reservation this week, to
obtain surcease of sorrow, has gone to
Chicago to see Minnesota win, if posi-
BILE, the great football game with the
Maroons of that city today H. N.
Somsen and city engineer Blomquist,
two cup football enthusiasts, have also
gone TO ChlcagO.
Postmaster S. D. Peterson returned
Saturday evening from his vacation of a
couple of weeks at Mobridge, S. D., and
short stay at Franklin with his daugh-
ter, and he reports the above Milwaukee
railroad town at the crossing of the
Missouri river as having a great future.
It IS to be or is passenger and freight
division point. Best of all, S. D. P. has
a large land interest there that may
(possibly) make him millionaire if he
concludes to live long enough.
/, Those of New Ulm people who know
Albert Wagner, husband of Tillie Bob
Letter, will regret to learn that he has
been indicted in St. Paul for robbing a
Catholic priest who fell dead in the
depot. in that city three weeks ago, of
$50. Wagner was deputy coroner and
took charge of the dead body, and he
has disappeared. There will be Gym
pathy for his wife, who had an applica-
ton for divorce pending before the act
of Mr.. Wagner for which he was indict-
ed.
There were 1913 cars of range cattle
shipped from LIE Beau, S. D., last week,
through this city to Chicago, over the
NJ. & St. L. and G. Il N. w. railroads:
two trains of SO cars on Monday, two
trains on Wednesday Of Al cars, and two
trains Of A cars on Thursday. Alto
gether 562 cars of cattle have been ship
ped since September from LIE Beau
through New Ulm, containing 1i,24O
head of cattle; and yet there are about
100 car loads to be shipped through here
this season.
The numerous loads of bright yellow
dent corn that have been coming into
the city from day to day from the sur
rounding country are beautiful to look
upon. The ears are generally filled to
the tips, and are large and sound. This
seasons crop except on very dry or very
wet land is one of the largest and best
tie State has produced, and it will en-
courage larger planting next year. As
stated, on very dry soil the hot spell of
weather in early August, when the crop
had just started to ear, cut short the
growth; but the acreage of this is small.
Matthew Marso and daughter arrived
from Candy the first of last week, and
we're guests of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony
on South Broadway. They went to Wi
mona on Monday, but returned to the
city. They intend to remove to New
Ulm IN short time. Mr. Marso in 1890
bought section of land for $40, 900, and
paid down $1,000, and he is now worth
about $4,000. He has raised coarse
feed, including 200 acres of corn, and
has raised and fattened cattle and hogs,
shipping to market by the car load; and
he has also raised horses, some times
having as many as 40, old and young.
Why do not some farmers in this por-

great while ago broom corn jumped
up in price to 500 per ton, and recently
it has gone up to the enormous price OF
1925 per ton. Broom corn can be grown
in this part of Minnesota as successfully
as sugar cane or corn, and it's cultivation
and care for ripening is as simple as that
of any common crop. The making OF
brooms is very easily done with an mex
pensive outfit. We have in mind man
and family of children in the early six
ties, at Kasota, who when down to bed.
rock financially began to raise broom
corn, and in the winter the family made
Fit into brooms. In a comparatively
short time he owned several good farms
near the village. Both corn and brooms
were then very low in price.
