The death of Mrs. Caroline Peuser,
a pioneer woman of New Ulm, occur
red at the home of her son in this city
Friday noon, the end coming after an
illness extending over a number of
years. Born in Neuenkirchen, Ger
many, in 1881, Mrs. Peuser came to
this country when comparatively
young and became resident of New
Ulm as early as 1857. With her hus-
band she went through the hardships
attending the Indian outbreak and it
was in that memorable struggle that
her helpmate received injuries from
which he never fully recovered. He
died in 1876, leaving her with seven
children, all of whom are still living.
They are Mrs. Schumacher and Fred
and George Peuser of this city, Otto
Peuser of San Francisco, John G.
Peuser of Vancouver, and Frank
Peuser and Mrs. Winkelmann of
Everett, Washington. Most Of these
will attend the funeral which will be
held tomorrow afternoon at two
O'Clock. To them the deceased was
always faithful and devoted mother
and even at her advanced age they
esteem her taking away as a great
loss.

WHAT Do YOU THINK OF THIS?
Minneapolis Promoter Threatens
to Give Brown County
New City.
New Town to be Located on the
Bier Farm Near the Banks
of the Cottonwood.
Big Pottery Plant to Furnish the
Nucleus for the Thriving
Industrial Center.

There's to be new town in Brown
county, real big city in fact.
At least that's what Henry w. Whit
ing of Minneapolis says.
Mr.. Whiting is the promoter who
tried to interest our people in the clay
products which abound in this v;cini-
ty. Failing in this Mr.. Whiting
caused to be issued on Monday cir
cular bulletin to the people which is
nothing if not sens ational in it's pro-
posals.
The circular sets forth in glowing
language the resources of the Cotton
wood valley as follows:
"Mother nature III preparing for the
advent of man has stored up in vari-
Gus localities throughout the world
great deposits of raw material-coal
to supply heat, rich plains of soil for
vegetation, iron ore for machinery and
other things and clay for building ma
terials, pottery, drainage tile and a
hundred other useful articles. These
form the staples which supply the
wants of mankind. They are neces-
sary and must be had. When owned
in any quantity by individuals they
mean great wealth. From three to six
miles west of the city of New Ulm, on
the Cottonwood river, nature has been
especially muni6cent in leaving per-
haps one of the richest deposits of
clay in the United States. These de-
posits by long series of tests pos
sess, Or have proven to possess, a
quality Of unsurpassed excellence.
Enormous quantities have scientifcal-
ly been proven to exist. It is estima-
ted that there is enough to supply the
wants of the entire northwest for one
hundred years or more. 1t is we'll es-

tablished, that, with the possible ex-
ceptiOn of small and uncertain deposits
found in one or two localities, that
this locality holds the only great guam
tity of clay in the northwest. Its value
is so great, that it cannot be named in
figures and the industrial plants,
which will be erected for the manufac-
ture of this clay, will be the nucleus of
one of the greatest Industrial centers
in southern Minnesota
Then Mr.. Whiting goes on to say
that after careful consideration and
research he has determined to erect a
large plant, capitalized for $500, 900,
on what is known as the Bier farm
about five miles west of New Ulm;
that he is about to commence active
operations and will lay out townsite
adjacent to the central deposits of the
clay which appear at this point.
The plant, he says, will employ in
the neighborhood of 500 men, thus
forming the nucleus for city of $500
to 1900 inhabitants. It will have a
bank, an electric light plant and a
railroad connecting the town with the
Northwestern above Milford station.
The town; he continues, will have
the advantage of lying in the center of
one of the liveliest farming localities
in the state. It will be an open mar
ket for Milford, Sigel, Home, Hanska
and Stark. and will increase the value
of farm property in that eighborhood
one hundred per cent.
Surveyors are to be put to work at
once, so the circular concludes, and
one hundred business lots and five
times as many residence lots will be
placed on the market in the near flu
ture. Their sale, it is estimated, will
net the company 100000.
Then the company will build its
plant, railroads will hustle to get into
connection and banks, breweries, bust.
ness blocks and homes will spring ur
like mushrooms in the nighttime after
warm rain.
Mr.. Whiting affirms in private con.
versation that there is to be no delay
in the proceedings. AS soon as the
frost is out of the ground prospectors
will go to work on the clay beds anC
then people in New Ulm will begin tc
sit up and take notice.

THE LEAvETT BILL IS DOOMED
Republican House Leaders Begin
to Think it Would be Politically
DANGEROUS.

The house republican steering COM
mittee has decided that the Peterson
senate bill, designed to aid S. w.
Leavett in securing a further hold on
his job as a member of the state board
of control. must die. They look upon
it as poor politics.
Accordingly, the bill has been sent
to the judiciary committee where it
will either be shelved or reported out
with the information that it is uncon-
stitutional. That it would be invalid
is generally agreed.
Since looking into the Leavett bill,
the leaders have come to the conclu-
sion that it is a weapon that may
have two edges. Under its terms by,
which the old soldier is given official
preference in the filling of public Of
fee, Gov. Johnson might play mas
terful stroke Of politics. Should he
ever decide to retire from the exc.
cutiveship he could stock up the places
under him to such an extent that his
successor would be helpless. This
fact has been pointed out to the pro-
meters of the bill, with the request
that they cease further lobbying.
There are now engaged in the official
service in Minnesota a score or more
of men who have served their country
in various wars and the majority OF
them are democrats. Several of them
are Spanish-American war veterans
and others have served in the Philip
pine instruction. The leaders are
not anxious to perpetuate these in
office, especially when there is a
chance of numerous additions to the
list.

OFFER MINORITY REPORT
Representatives Pfaendera and Kel-
ly Refuse to Stand for White
washing of Republican
Majority.
Bill to Prevent Secret
Relating by Board of Control
in the Future.

When the house committee on public
accounts and expenditures got ready
to report last Thursday the results of
its investigation into the methods of
the state board of control in accepting
secret rebates from concerns to whom
coal contracts had been awarded, Re-
representatives. Pfaender of New Ulm
and Kelly of Mankato, the democratic
members OF the committee, we're not
satisfied with the conclusions reached
by the republican majority and ac-
cordingly offered minority report.
Both reports were offered at the
same time and the house voted to have
both printed in the journal. Final
action will be taken this week.
The minority report, while it does
not particularly censure the members
of the board of control, alleges that
the practice of rebating is pernicious
in itself and ought to be curtailed for
the best interests of the board.
;sIt appears that such rebates were
asked for and received by the mem
bers of the board in perfect good
faith, and with the intention of saving
money for the state,' says the report.
"However, in view of the require.
ments of the law that all the contracts
Of the board of control shall be in
writing and that the board shall make
rules in regard to supplies and con
tracts, so as to insure competition anc
publicity and prohibit the taking
of gifts or gratuities from dealers ir

Worry and he are evidently entire
strangers. During the long months
before the Indictment was returned, he
exhibited not the least anxiety. He
said he was innocent and he depended
on the grand jury to free him. He got
religion and gave himself over to stu
dying the Bible. He shifted his hope
from the grand jury to the prospective
jury of his peers, before whom he
would be tried, and he never faltered.
During the trial he was just as calm
as he ever was in his life. On the wit
ness stand he told connected story,
and through gruelling cross exami-
nation he stuck to it in every detail
He never missed an opportunity to
declare his innocence and the twists
and turns of the county attorney in
the cross examination failed to shake
him in the slightest.
"Only once during all this time has
he lost his composure. During the two
days the jury held his fate in their
hands, he was not worried in the least.
His supreme confidence held up until
the clerk read out the verdict declar-
ing him guilty of the murder of Frank
Massapust. Then he went into a par
oxysm of grief and disappointment,
weeping bitter tears for about two
hours. When the shock wore off, he
took another hitch in his courage,
shifted his faith once more from the
jury to the judge, and went on as
though the moose we're not hanging
overhead or the prison doors yawn-
ing to take him for the remainder of
his natural life. The strain of wait
ing for the decision of the court on
the motion for new trial has not
visibly affected him.

VIM. SCHRE|BER MUST HANG
Alleged Murderer of Frank Massa.
pust is Denied Second
Hearing.
Judge Says His First Trial was a
Fair One and that the Verdict
of Guilty was Justified.
Duluth Herald Says that Schrei-
Der, as a Character Study,
is an Enigma.

William Schneider, the alleged MUIR
derer OF Frank Massapust, must hang.
He was duly convicted of the crime
by jury of his peers on December
18th last, and the early part of last
week Judge Dibell of the St. Louis
county district court denied the motion
asking for a new trial.
At both the trial and the hearing on
the motion for reopening of the case
Schneider was represented by the best
of attorneys, but the judge in his find
ings says that the trial was fair one
and that the verdict of guilty returned
by the jury was justified by the evil
dence.
AS the convicted man has no further
means and is apparently without
friends it is hardly likely that any
further steps will be taken to stay his
execution.
The crime for which he will atone
was most atrocious one. 1t bore all
the earmarks of a carefully planned
and deliberately carried out shooting
down of a man for his money and the
burning of his cabin to conceal the
crime.
The circumstanial evidence brought
out at the Schneider trial tended TO
show that Massapust, who was for
mer New Ulmite and a brother of Ru-
dolph Massapust OF West Newton, was.
shot through the window of his cabin
on the evening of February 9th, 1908,
and that Immediately thereafter the
murderer obbed him and then set fire
to the cabin in order that the body and
all traces of the crime might be effaced.
| In April Schneider, who was one OF
Massapust's nearest neighbors, turned
up at town in Wisconsin and forged
Massapust's lame to a certificate of
deposit for S325.29.
Then followed Schreiber's arrest for
| forgery and subsequently his indict-
ment on a charge of murder.
The trial commenced on the 1st of
December and continued for eleven
days.
The verdict Of guilty was something
OF a surprise and one of the Duluth
ministers came out in a long statement
in the papers condemning the decision
on the ground that it was not based
on the evidence.
Others, however, upheld the jurors,
contending that they above all Others
were best qualified to judge.
OF the convicted man the Duluth
Herald says:
AS character study, William
Schroeder is an enigma. There is some
thing wonderful in his mental and con
stitutional makeup. Be he innocent,
l.or be he guilty, no normal man could
have stood up under the strain to-
which Schroeder has been subjected.
Yet today, with the exception OF being
a little paler and a little stouter. Will.
