JUSTICE SHOP At NEW uLM
Disposition Made Of tho Criminal
Cases in Brown County.

New Ulm, Dee. 30.-The criminal
business of the district court has been
disposed of. The grand jury returned
three indictments, two against George
Sweet, charging him with grand larceny
in the second degree, and one against
Albert Guth of Cottonwood township,
charging him with assault in the second
degree upon his wife.
Sweet was charged with the embezzle-
ment of $40 belonging to the Singer
Sewing Machine company, but asserted
he had simply taken the money for
wages due him. The case was tried,
but the jury failed to agree, and
Sweet was held to the next summers
term of court, and was committed to
jail in default of 5000 bail
Guth was allowed to plead guilty to
assault in the third degree, and was
sentenced to serve sixty days in the
county jail. His wife was also granted
divorce from him on the ground of
cruel aud inhuman treatment, and Sc
cured the custody of the three children,
$3.50 as her share of the husbands
farm.

TOWNS AFTER BRECK SCHOOL
Fairmont, Worthingtor, ST. James,
Window. Pipestone, luverne.

Paramount Dec. 30.-The Com
mercial club has appointed a committee
of A. l.. Ward. +. Houghta-
ling, H. W. Sinclair, L. II. Aston and
+. G. Sasse to negotiate the removal
of the Breck school from Wilder to
this city.
The school is an academy connected
with the Episcopal church, and was es-
tablished about twenty years ago, and
has an endowment of 100000 and owns
good buildings and ninety acres of
land.
When the school was first started
it prospered, and at one time nearly
800 pupils were enrolled, but of recent
years the attendance has fallen off.
The trustees have consequently come
to the conclusion that the best interests
of the school demand that it be moved
to some other place Worthington, st.
James, Window, Piperstone and Luv-
erne want it.

Against Mrs. Kaufman.

Sioux Falls, f. d., Dec. 30.--In view
of the fact that a new trial of Mrs.
Emma Kaufman on a charge of hav-
ing murdered her young domestic, Ag
mes Polreis, is expected to take place
at Flandreau in March, the public will
be interested in information received
here from Parkston to the effect that
negotiations are in progress between u
committee of ParkstOn business men,
which provided special counsel for the
prosecution at the first trial. and Con-
gresham Frank NJ. Nye of Minnea-
polls to have him take charge of the
prosecution at the approaching new
trial.
According to information received
from Parkston, the negotiations with
Mr.. Nye have not yet been finished
but the Parkston committee is hopeful
of securing his services. The interest
of Parkston people in the case is due
to Miss Polreis having been a resident
of that place prior to coming to Sioux
Falls.
