SUICIDE OF MARGARET FRAAS
Middle Aged Woman Takes Her
Own Life With the Aid
of Revolver.

Margaret Fraas, a single woman Of
forty-two years, who lived alone with
her father, John Fraas, on North JET
ferson street, committed suicide We'd
nesday forenoon by firing a revolver
bullet into her left temple.
The rash act was performed in an
clubhouse about an hour before noon
and with such little noise that neither
the father in the honse nor the neigh
bors only short distance away had
any idea that anything amiss had hap
pened. Her lifeless body was discov.
cred at noon by her father.
Coroner Fritsche was at once mott
fed, but decided after a brief inspec
ton of the awful scene that an inques
was entirely unnecessary.
1t was simply case of suicide com
Tag as the climax to long period o
suffering and dependency.

pFAENDER INTRODUCED LAST BILL
CompeIs Railroads to Carry Militia
at the Rate of One Cent a Mile.

Representative Pfaender Of this
county had the honor of introducing
the last bill of the thirty sixth legisla
tive session, and, Notwithstanding the
bills belated arrival, it passed both
houses.
Late Wednesday night it was dis
covered that insufficient provision had
been made for the expense of trans
porting the national guard to the sum-
mer camps. The mistake was not &C.
cidental, either, according to the state
ment of several legislators. To rene.
dy the situation, Mr.. Pfaender was
permitted by the governor and the
house to introduce bill requiring the
railways in Minnesota to carry the
national guard and naval reserves al
the rate of one cent mile. The house
passed the bill within five minutes OF
its Introduction and it was the las
bill passed by the senate, where Sena
tor Hardy took it in charge.

relatives and the authorities, and.
finally, the collapse of the whole story
by the introduction of indisputable
contradictory evidence.
The trouble with the girls story was
that it wouldn't stand investigation.
Against her kidnapping tale, the po-
lice put the statement of half dozen
reputable witnesses that they saw the
girl on this side of the river shortly
after eight a'clock.
Two persons saw her at the Eagle
mill, two Or more saw her walking
along Front street in the direction OF
the CORTLAND bridge, and two or more
saw her trudging along the Courtland
road near the farm of Chas. Grussen-
dorf.
Thus the story goes to pieces, and
the only reasonable explanation for
it's ever having been told is in the sup.
position that the girl wanted to 'take
day Off" from school and concluded
that the best way to do it was to pay a
visit to her sister. After walking q
good part of the way, she became
scared of herself, that is, realized thai
she had undertaken to do something she
had no right to do. Hence the inven'
ton of the story to be used in her owl
defense when she came to face the re
Dukes Of her teacher and relatives.

Fl. RIDGELY PARK SCHEME
It Suffers at the Hands of Cover
nor johnson.
He Vetoes the Appropriation OF
$4,000 for the Purchase of
Additional Land.

In the omnibus appropriation bill
passed by the late legislature there APP
peared an item of 81, 500 to be used in
the purchase of additional land for
park purposes in the neighborhood of
the state monument on the site OF old
Fort Ridgely.
This item, when it came to the atten-
ton of the governor, was vetoed, the
governor giving as his reason for such
action that many people had appeared
before him and maintained that the
state already had all the land in that
vicinity that It needed.
AS matter of fact the state owns
only a few acres, few acres immedi-
ately surrounding the monument. The
rest of the old fort site is used for
farming purposes and is owned by c.
W. Heimann of Fairfax. 1t consists
of seventy three acres and is offered
to the state by Mr.. lehman for S., 600.
Two years ago the legislature ap-
propriated So, 800 towards carrying out
the scheme of purchasing the land and
converting it into military park, but
none of this amount was expended, the
promoters of the scheme figuring or
| additional aid from the legislature Of
| 1909. This they received to the extern
of 900, but now comes the governor
and puts damper on the whole pro
ject by exercising the executive veto
| What the commissioners. appointed
last fall by General Bobleter, will dc
now the Review is unable to say, bu
the chances are that they will get busy
and make the very best use of thu
money they already have on hand.
And $500 ought to go long way
at that, towards making the improve
ments that are actually needed.

Little Esther Mueller Throws New
U1m Into Fit OF Excitement
by Story of Alleged
Kidnapping.
Says Strange Man Made Attempt
to Abduct Her While She Was
on Her Way to School.
Police, However, are Firmly Con.
WINGED that Her Story is Made
Out OF Whole Cloth.

New Ulm had another touch of the
sensational Monday and the person
who brought it all about was only
fourteen-year-old girl.
Here's the story that set the town by
the ears for fully day.
Esther Mueller, youngest daughter
of Martin Mueller, who resides in
CORTLAND township just across the
river from New Ulm, started for town
somewheres around eight O'Clock in
the morning to go to school.
Just before reaching the Wiesenthal
bridge, according to the girls strange
ly concocted story, she was overtaken
by stranger who was riding in a top
buggy drawn by white horse. This
stranger told her that he had been sent
to take her to her sister, Mrs. Dan
Williams in Cambria, who was quite
sick. The girl, SO she says, declined
to accompany him, but remarked that
she would return home and make ar
rangements to leave for Cambria on
the ten O'Clock train.
Thereupon the stranger, who was
man of about thirty years Of age,
jumped from his buggy, grabbed the
girl, bound her about the waist and
arms with rope, placed her in the
buggy and started his horse in the di-
rection of the Diepolder hill.
Once, the girl affrms, she cried for
help, but the stranger paid no atten-
ton to her screams and continued his
journey.
Arrived at the top of the bluff, or
somewhere on the hill, he turned south
and drove in the direction of Court
land. Just where he got onto the New
Ulm- CORTLAND road Esther did not
say, but her story runs on to the effect
that when within two miles of Court.
land village the man seemed to fal
into DOGGY condition, and, taking
advantage of this fact, she managed
to unloosen the cord that bound he
arms to her body and make good he
escape.
Then. according to the strangel.
concocted story, remember, the CIR
hurried on towards the first farr
house this side of CORTLAND, while tn
strange driver and his skinny whit
horse journeyed eastward.
Uponreaching the farm house Esthe
1unched and told her strangely sense
tional tale. The farmer, she says
after learning who she was, advise
her, instead of returning to her home
to keep on the way to her sister;
This she did, arriving there abol
noon.
There she repeated the story to NJ
and Mrs. Williams and then followe
