Death Of Albert Stuebe.

It is not often that the death, from
natural causes, of a young man, not
in public life, causes the feeling of
deep regret that was experienced in
New Ulm this week by the passing
away of Albert Stuebe.
The boy, although he had suffered
from kidney troubles for years, had
been critically i'll only a week, and
when the end came it came like a
shock, not only to his Immediate rela-
tives, but to people all over town.
Albert was born on the Doth OF Feb
ruary, 1887, the son of those we'll
known townspeople, Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Stuebe. He had but little
schooling, his health not permitting,
but he was naturally bright. AS he
grew older he developed many of his
fathers well-known characters
and he was popular with all whom he
met. Good-hearted, kind, and jov-
ial in spite Of sickness, he was the
friend OF all ssthe boys
When he died these boys knew they
had lost a 'chum. =
When he was buried his funeral was
one of the largest, if not the largest.
ever held in New Ulm. It just seemed
as if everybody in the city wanted to
pay one little last tribute to that Boy
Stuebe, whom they had learned to
know and to love.

The Hikers' club of the ST. Paul
Central high school, composed of
fourteen young men, started on Mon
day of last week to walk to New Ulm,
a distance of ninety-eight miles. Four
of the boys forseok the party at Belle
PLANE, four more fell by the wayside
or, in other words, had to give up the
strenuous undertaking at LIE Sueur,
and the remaining six stuck it out
until they reached Courtland. There
they were compelled by the intense
wind and high water to take the train
for New Ulm, arriving here Thursday
noon. In the party that landed here
were Lloyd Helmes, Gus. Stamm, L..
Repke, Knox Reeves, John Townsend
and W. W. Freshley. On the first
day out from St. Paul the boys
separated, some following the east
bank of the Minnesota until opposite
Shakopee where they were ferried over
in a row boat, the high waters having
submerged the road for mile and a
half. The others had crossed at
Nicols and we're forced to wade in icy
water up to their waists.
Senator Wright's Indianwar pension
bill has now passed both houses. It
is different from the law of 1905 in
that the Wright measure provides for
pensions for all citizen soldiers VINO
did worthy service and are in need,
whereas the 1905 law only provided
for those who were injured or con-
tracted lasting illness. The Wright
measure also cares for the needy
widows OF citizens who participated in
the struggle. Its friends claim it is SO
carefully drawn that it will not meet
with the governors approval as did
the bill introduced two years ago.
Albert J. Ross, who was the assis-
tant cashier of bank at Devils Lake,
North Dakota for number of years
past, was recently made cashier of a
bank at Stanley. The rising young
fnancier is a son of Judge of Probate
Ross of this city.

GETS SPANISH SWlNDLE LETTER
One OF the Madrid Fraud EpistleS
Now Being Mailed Throughout
America Reaches c. FilZen Sr.

G. Filzen Sr. of this city is in re-
ceipt of one of the numerous Spanish
fraud letters which are known to have
been mailed to parties in all parts Of
the country.
The writer Of the letter, which came
to Mr.. Filzen, claims to be a son OF
the famous LIE Lesseps Of Panama
canal fame. He represents that he is
confined in prison at Madrid and that
he has an immense amount of money
deposited in the Bank of England.
For this money he has drafts, payable
to bearer, which are hidden in a
secret drawer in his baggage.
He also says that he has daughter
for whom he wants Mr.. Filzen to
furnish home, he to receive a fourth
of the money deposited in the Bank OF
England in due course of time and on
the carrying out of certain agreements.
In the letter he refers to certain
supposed relatives of Mr.. Filzen, but
it so happens that no such persons
exist.
The scheme, it seems, is to get the
recipients of the letters to agree to
take charge of the child. Then a
second letter will reach them calling
upon them to send to Madrid suffi.
cient amount of money to provide for
her transportation to this country.

Justice Henningsen Binds Them
Over to the Grand Jury in Bail
of ST 900 Each.
Woman is Charged With Grand
Larceny and Man With Receiv-
ing Stolen Goods.
Eckstein T. Funk, Their Attor-
neys, Put up Stubborn Fight
in Their Defense.
May Invoke Habeas Corpus Pro-
ceedings to Get Them Out of
Jail.

The fortune telling case, in which
the curiously inclined of New Ulm
have been so deeply interested and in
which Ida Taylor and the two Rays,
with their attorneys, are the star
actors: had its preliminary airing in
court before Justice Henningsen at
the court house Friday afternoon and
evening and Saturday morning-at the
court house, because there was no
other available building at the JUS
tees disposal large enough to acco-
modate the crowds anxious to keep
track Of the developments, ...
The proceedings opened with the
dismissal of the larceny charge against
Mr.. Ray, or Cornelius Carmody as he
Yprefers to be called, and the substitu-
ton of the charge of receiving stolen
money. 1.....
Then followed the case against Mrs.
Ray, not Carmody, Ray being the
only name by which she cared, for
present purposes, to be known, accord
ing to her attorney.
Beyond what has already appeared
in these columns the testimony devel-
oped nothing new save this, that the
prosecution seems to be in pOsitiol
to identify the money found in the
shoes of Mrs. Rays companion in
Minneapolis as the same that Mrs.
Taylor received from the Citizens
State bank a few moments before she
paid her fateful visit to the dealer in
things occult.
The Identification will be made by
the officers of the bank and by Johr
H. Langmack, bookkeeper for Crone
Bros. by whom the money was depo'
sited.
The sensational feature of the hear
ing was the strenuous fight put up by
Jos. A. Eckstein of counsel for TIT
defense. Joe really fought like {
tiger. His objections were fired at thu
county attorney with the regularity O
clock working over time, and the
words incompetent, irrelevant an6
immaterial" rang out in the cour
room like reverberating echo among
the cliffs of great mountain.
In his closing address, too, Mr.
Eckstein hurled satire, eloquence an6
ridicule at the prosecution in big
chunks, but it was all in vain. Justice
Henningsen denied the motion to dis
miss and bound Mrs. Ray over to til.
grand jury. Her bal: was fixed a
50 900.
The Carmody case came up the mex
morning and ended ia the same way
The evidence was substantially tn
same as that adduced at the hearing
of his female companion.
Both defendants are still in jail, blu
it is limited that their attorneys ar,
preparing to spring habeas CORPUS
proceedings in order to effect thei
release.
