AUGUST BAUMAN COMMITTED SUI.
eide; DRINK CURSE.
Brutality; Not Much Regret
Over His Demise.

Elysian, March 5.-August Bauman,
a farmer, who moved from Waterville
on to the Waber farm east of town
last fall, committed suicide Tuesday
afternoon, by hanging. He had been
in the village during the forenoon, and
his wife said that when he reached
home he was intoxicated and quarrel
some. He threatened to kill her and
the two children, but she paid no heed
TO his threats as he had frequently
| abused her and the children and threat
ened to kill them all when he vas in
la rage. About four o'clock he step
ped out to. the barn and got a rope
which he fastened to the stair banister
and fitted a moose around his neck.
He then dropped down to a sitting
posture on the stairs and s%trangled.
When his wife heard him struggling
she ran to him but he kicked her away,
and taking the two children she ran
to a neighbours and then came to town
TO tell her story. Coroner Burnett
was notified and reached the scene
dDOuU nine clOck.
After hearing the woman's story he
cut down the body and decided that
no inquest was necessary. The woman
told a pitiful story OF how her hus-
band had repeatedly beat her, and at
the time showed bruises on her face
where she had been struck by the hus-
band while he was in a drunken rage.
She felt no grief over the death of her
husband. because he had terrorized her
while he lived. Little is known here
of the man. who moved on to the place
last fall. He had just returned from
the county Jail where he had been SEN
fenced from Waterville for forty days.
While he was in Jail his wife found
it necessary to sell of some of the
stock to buy provisions for the family,
and this had aroused his anger. Last
Tuesday before starting for home he
made arrangements TO get some grain
seed and at that time said that he
was without mean and appeared de-
spondent. The man was forty-fOur
years old and a native of Germany. lie
was living with his second wife, and
the two little children. When it be-
came known that he had abused the
defenseless woman and children there
was no expression of regret that he
had taken his own life.

WILLING TO NEGOTIATE WITH THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT.
an Interview With Members
of the Commission.

From Saturdays Daily.
Evan Hughes, of the school board, re-
turned last night from st. Paul, where
he went 20 consult with the officials in
regard to the proposed loan by the
school district from the state for the
purpose of getting funds to erect a
new high school building. He saw Gov
ernor Eberhart and State Auditor liver
son of the board that loans the state
funds, and they said that the district
could have Il loan of $75 900 or 100000,
ii desired, although as large an amount
as the latter was seldom called for.
The money can be had as wanted, in
installments, and no interest will be
charged until the money is actually
turned over. The third member of the
board is State Treasurer Dinehart, who
was out of the city. hut it is not
thought that he will offer any obiec-
tions TO making the loan.
Mr.. Hughes called at the office of
Attorney General Simpson, but that Of
fetal is in the east, and he therefore
consulted with Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Hinton in regard toDthe manner of
holding the special election to vote on
the bonds. 1t was thought best by Mr..
Hinton 10 hold Il ward election, hut it
will not be necessary to 90 to an eX-
pense Of more than about $50. and no
new poll lists need he prepared or re-
gistratiOn day had, and clerks of elec-
ton can be dispensed with. The
school board will have to hold a special
meeting to set another day for holding
the election, in order that the notices
can be posted and other preliminary
work done.

NO OFFENSE IN NEW ULM.
SalOOnkeeper's License There Suspend
ed for Ten Days.

ed for Ten Days.
From Tuesdays Daily.
a most unusual thing occurred at
New Ulm Yesterday afternoon. 1t ap-
pears that two men, William Block
and Anton Kraus, were found drank
and fighting on the street Sunday and
were before the court yesterday morn
ing. Block was fined $40 and costs
and kraus, being unable To pay Il sim
liar fine, was sent TO Jail for fifteen
days. 1t appears that they claimed
to have gotten liquor in Joseph G.
Wech's saloon OH the Sabbath, which
caused the New Ulm officials to sit
up and take notice, as such a thing
as getting liquor on Sunday in that
city is not to be tolerated, and never
has, maybe.
His honor, Mayor j. p. Graft, hastily
summoned a special meeting of the
council late yesterday afternoon, and
Wech was brought before the fathers,
trembling in every joint. He admitted
having sold liquor on Sunday, but
pleaded in defense that it was in New
Vim, and he didn't know that il was
locked upon as offense there.
Mayor Graft recommended that
Wech's license be revoked or suspended
for the term of ten days, and the coun-
ell took the hint and suspended it for
ten whole days and nights, including
Sundays.
New Ulm is surely getting good, if
none of the saloons are open on Sun
day, but it has been runlOred down
thirst there on Sunday, even if Wech's
saloon was closed. There are other
thirst parlors in that city.
