New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1909-06-16

LETT the depot and hurried down the
tracks in the direction of the brick
yards and the Cottonwood river. They
were heard by one Of the railroad en-
ployers passing the coal sheds, but the
fact that they were running caused no
suspicion.
AS soon as the robbers were gone
from the depot Operator Wilder noti-
fed the police. Officers Tauer and
Weisenborn got busy at once and by
two O'Clock Sheriff Julius, Deputy
Brust, Chief Klause, Constable Juni
and others were on the grounds max
ing a thorough search of the depot
surroundings. By six O'Clock Essig,
Cambria, CORTLAND, Mankato and the
western townships of Nicollet county
had been visited and aroused and tele-
grams were sent to the authorities of
all the towns in the neighborhood.
By noon the authorities were ready
to rest on their oars, feeling that all
had been done that could be done.
By one O'Clock they were ready to
60 to the circus.
About the same time dispatch was
received from Sanborn to the effect
that suspicious characters had been
held there. Sheriff Julius, accom-
panied by Constable Juni, left at once
in response to the telegram, but re-
turned at four O'Clock without any
prisoners.
In the meantime telephone messages
had been received from Cottonwood,
telling of the presence in the neighbor-
hood of the Fortwengler place of three
mysterious persons, but no attention
was paid to these until Herman Helm,
the Turnverein gymnastic teacher,
came to the police station and said
that while fishing on the Cottonwood
river, he was accostea by a stranger,
who seemed to have no reason for
being SO far away from travelled
road and who was so dressed and so
adorned with rings that he could not
help but attract attention.
This set the police to work again,
and in about three quarters of an h our
posse had been organized ready to
go forth to do battle for the reputation
of New Ulm.
Three automobiles, each bearing
four or five men, armed with revolvers,
Winchesters and (Krag-Jorgensons,
constituted the cavalcade.
The robbers had appeared at two or
three places between here and Searles
during the afternoon and shortly be
fore noon had made raid on the resi-.
dence of Jos. Schnobrich, stealing
| watches, bracelets, rings and trinkets
of various sorts. From there they
journeyed towards Searles.
They were first seen by sections Of
the posse at Schedules pasture. Fire
was opened by some of the party, and
quite number of shots were sen,
whizzing through the air without any
serious effect. The robbers made
good their escape to the river, anc
from there on there was strenuous
chase for two or three hours.
Just what happened the Review can.

commission elected by the Legislature
of 1907 to investigate the acts and
dOings of the Trustees of the Internal
Improvement Fund has made a vOlum-
nous report embracing a large amount
Of testimony as well as documentary
evidence. The research seems to
have been thorough and complete.
There was no difference OF opinion

Of the report that deals with the le-
cal contention OF the trustees gen

as to the law and filed a dissenting
opinion on that point
The commission finds that the trust
was coupled with the obligation to
drain and reclaim the lands: that the
land granted to the railroad cOmpa-
MES was only the residuary interest
therein: That at many times during
the existence Of the trust there was
wasteful mismanagement; that many
