DEATH OF ARCH FIEND
Gusa Godfrey Who Assisted In.
dians in Massacre.
He was a Full-Blooded Negro;
Turned States Evidence; Was
Permitted to Live.

Morton, Mimi, July 25.-Gusa God
frey, the negro whose name struck
terror to the stout hearts of old plo-
neers in this region died at the STAN
tee Indian servation in Nebraska,
about seventy years old, hated and
despised by redskin and paleface
alike for his part in the Sioux massa-
ere and it's aftermath. @,. -..
Godfrey was a full-blooded negro,
who lived near the Sioux agency with
an Indian woman. He joined the In
dians when they took the warpath
and by his cunning and bravery be-
came the most atrocious murderer
among them. He knew personally
every settler along the valley, every
child in each family, all the officers
and nearly all privates in Fort Ridge
ly. Godfrey was present at the kill
ing of the Zimmerman family, looked
with glee on the headless body of DR..
Humphrey in hog pen, and per-
sonally directed the ambuscade of the
party west of Beaver Creek. He drove
wagon containing three prisoners,
Mary Anderson, Mary Swandt and
Mary Schwartz, and permitted the In
dians to torture them into insensibili-
ty. Then he left the unfortunate Mary
Anderson to die on the roadside from
a bullet from his own rifle while he
pretended to 60 for assistance. He
was the prime mover in the massacre
of Captain Marsh and his men at the
ferry.
Godfrey knew the location of every
building in Fort Ridgely and New
Ulm, just where to shoot through
them or the most expedient way to
destroy them. At New Ulm he dis
carded all rules of modern warfare
and boasted afterward that he killed
more German babies than it was pos
sible for him to count.
Finally when the great drama was
ended, he turned states evidence, and
by his vivid and CHASTITY narrative OF
horrors, sent thirty-nine of his COM
rades to die on the gallows at Man
kato. For this he was given lease
of life, lease no donbt which would
have certainly been broken it he ever
visited Minnesota or left the Santee
reserv alton, where he lived for forty
seven years.-Mankato Daily Free

Germany is a Model in the Prac-
tice of Forestry.

Forest experts of all nationalities
agree that Germany is in an enviable
position as regards her lumber sup
ply. No nation in the world makes
more thorough utilization of it's forest
resources.
The German. Empire has approx
mately 35,00O,00O acres of forest, OF
which 3l.9 per cent belongs to the
state. Many years ago that country
awakened to the necessity of applying
the same methods of business economy
to tie management of its forest lands
that are applied to its operations in,
trade, and the result is that Germany's.
practice of forestry has served as a
model for all other countries.
German forestry is remarkable in
three ways-it has always led in scien-
tific thoroughness and now it is work
ing out results with an exactness al
most equal to that Of the laboratory;
it has applied this scientific knowledge
with the greatest technical success;
and it has solved the problem of Sc
curing through long series of years
an increasing forest output and in
creasing profits at the same time.
Starting with forests which are in
as bad shape as many of our own cut
over areas, Germany raised the aver
age yield of wood per acre from
twenty cubic feet in 1880 to seventy
five cubic feet in 1908. During the
same period it .rebled the proportion
of saw timber secured from the aver
age cut, which means, in other words.
that through the practice of forestry
the timber lands of Germany are of
three times better quality today than,
when no system was used. In little
over half century it increased the
money returns from an average acre
of forest seven fold, and today the
forests are in better condition than
ever before.

HOME AGAIN
Co. "A'' Returns after Ten Days
Work in Camp. The Boys are
Met by Large Crowd and
Band at Depot.
Good Work on the Range.

Co. IA" returned home from camp
Lakeview last Saturday evening and
the boys were rendered hearty well
come and reception by large num-
ber of citizens who with an improvised
band of AZ pieces went to the depot to
meet them. They arrived at about 10
o'clock on a special train and were es-
corted up town to the armory, march
ing on Minnesota street, which was
splendidly illuminated. The process
sion was headed by Joe. Martinka on
horseback and carriage in which
rode Nick Andring and Frank Schnei-
der. The vehicle was nicely decorated
with bunting and the national flag.
The boys report having had a. fine
time. OF the work in camp Capt. A.
Pfaender says:
Co. "a" is the largest company in
Camp Lakeview, as it has been for the
last six years. The boys have done
good work on the range, 20 having
qualified SO far as sharp shooters,
which is the best showing of any in
camp. The men qualified are: Capt
Pfaender, Lieut.. Hubbard, 1t. Groeb-
ner, Sgt. Klause, Sgt. Schlender, Sgt
Sackl, Cor. Henry Grussendorf, Cor.
Clarence Grussendorf, Pfeiffer, Ros-
aer, Englebert; Privates Hubbard,
Herbert Grussendorf, Theo. Globes,
Dorm, Carl Englebert, Roland Neu-
mann, Victor Neumann, Schmid and
Zschunke.
All these men have the chance of
shooting on the 800 and 1000 yard
ranges. They must make 40 on the
former and IS on the latter to qualify
as experts. It is safe to say that the
number will be larger than in any pre-
vious year. Capt. Pfaender was di-
rected to dishonorsbly discharge Ben
Frank and John F. Gollnast for alb
sence from camp without the Colonel's
leave.

SPECIAL RATES TO STATE FAIR
Western Passenger Association
Grants a Rate of One and One
Half on Round.Trip Busi-
ness.

Special rates will again be in order
for the Minnesota State Fair, Sept. 3
to IL, as was the case last year. At a
recent meeting of the Western Passen-
ger Association it was decided to
grant a one and one-half rate on
reund-trip business to the State Fair
from all points in Minnesota anu also
from all points in Wisconsin within
radius of $50 miles.
This special rate to the Minnesota
State Fair will therefore be good on
the Chicago & Northwestern, the Chi
cago, St. Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha,
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul,
the Chicago & Great Western, the
Minneapolis & st. Louis, and the
Chicago, Rock Island Pacific, from
all points in Minnesota, as these
roads all belong to tho Western Pas
senger Association. These special
rates will also be good on the Chlca-
go North W estern, the Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha, the Chi
cago, Milwaukee & st. Paul and the
Wisconsin line from all points in
Wisconsin within $50 miles Of the
Twin Cities.
The special-rate tickets sold to the
Minnesota State Fair this year will
be good from Sept. 5. to 10, inclusive,
returning Sept. 13, and the granting
of the special rate once more should
have considerable to do with making
the Twin Cities more than ever con-
yention point for Minnesotans during
State Fair week.
This matter of special rates is OF
Importance to all those who propose
to visit the fair, and it will be seen
that visitors can take advantage OF
these rates the day before the fair
opens and can remain throughout
State Fair week and return on the
same ticket during the Sunday or
Monday following the fair.
AS the two-cent rate now prevails in
this state and the special State Fair
rates are good for all points in the
state, the item of expense in attending
the State Fair is materially reduced
over that of two or more years ago.

My Comrades:--We assemble in this
service with feeling of profound sad
ness and sorrow. One, our friend and
our Comrade who for twenty-five sue
eessive encampments has never missed
an encampment of the Second Regi-
ment of the State Guard, is absent this
morning. But little more than a
| week ago there came the startling in
telligence that Gen. Joseph Bobleter
was dead. His death is national, a
state, civic and a personal loss.
There are many here who have been
associated with him as friend and com
rade for more than a quarter of CEN
tury and it is no more than eminently
fitting that the Regiment which he
commanded for so many years should
for few moments recall his splendid
services to Nation and State, his pa
triotism and loyalty, his allegiance to
friend and comrade in this Memorial
| Service.
He is now numbered among our
| Heroic Dead. In the long list of these
heroes who in the long years of oar
Country's history have devoted them
selves to it's service, his name must be
forever placed. His record Of patri-
otlc and loyal service is splendid and
honorable. Coming to this country
fdom a foreign shore, he Immediately
became identified with the land that he
had chosen to be his abiding home.
His patriotism was shown in enlistine
under his adopted Country's banner
and fighting in its defense. He loved
his Country. He believed in the tri.
lumphant destiny of America. His pa.
triotism has been shown by his long
and honorable service. He was loyal
Loyal distinguishes itself from patri.
