A NARROW ESCAPE
E. c. Dirks Hurled From Express
Wagon and Escapes Injury.
Horse Killed by Northwes,
tern Way Freight.

When 3. G. Dirks, delivery man Of
the local American ex press Co. Tues
day noon endeavored to cross the
Northwestern tracks on 1st north ST..
he escaped frightful death by a
hairs breadth.
He was at the point of crossing the
track unaware of any approaching
danger when the way freight from the
west came speeding down the hill. On
account of the curtains Of the express
wagon being down, he could not hear
the approaching train. The horse had
just stepped on the tracks when the
locomotive hit the animal and dragged
it over a block. Mr.. Dirks was
thrown out of the wagon, but fortu-
nately landed on his feet, thus escap-
ing serious injury. When the train
was stopped the horse was still alive,
but owing to the severe injuries, had
to be killed. We are not in position
at the time of this writing to state
whether there is any neglect on the.
part of the engineer to be attached
to this accident. At any rate it would
be we'll for the railroad Co. to estab-
lish an alarm.

MAENNERCHOR INSPECTED
Successful Rehearsal By Bundles.
Director Prof. KeIbe Of
Milwaukee.

Prof. Theodore Kelbe of Milwaukee,
grand chorus director of the North
Western Saenger Bund, which latter
will hold it's bienniel Saengerfest in
Omaha OF July 81, % and 23rd was in
our city last Thursday on, what might
properly be called, an inspection tour
OF the may local singing societies
constituting that organization. His
purpose was to give the local Maen-
nerchor a thorough drill with respect
to the Interpretation of the several
songs to be sung in grand chorus of
some 1000 voices. The local Maenner-
Choir under the leadership of Win.
Pfaender Jr. had been rehearsing the
listed songs for some months past and
Prof. Kelbe was visibly pleased with
their work. He was able to go thru
the entire program of songs in practi-
cally one hours time thus leaving him
and the singers liberal portion of the
evening for social intercourse.
Prof. Kelbe is very eminent musi-
clan, a man of great personal magne-
tism and therefore an excellent direc-
tor. He is withal very congenial
person to meet and naturally has
strong hold on the Association. BY
visiting and drilling the singing So
cieties individually, he effects unifor-
nifty of Interpretation and insures sue
cessful rendering of songs when in
grand chorus. The New Ulm Maen-
nerchor is enthusiastic over their pros
pective trip to Omaha ond are bent on
further close study and drilling of
their songs.

Poultry.

Incubators. Unless farmer in
tends to raise poultry on a large scale
the Experiment station believes it is
more practical for him to use the
natural method of Matching instead of
the artificial. If the natural method
is used, and the hens are given fair
chance, they will produce large Aocks
and pay the farmer in proportion to
the care and work he devotes to the
industry. With proper care and at
tentlon to feed, water and exercise. a
hen may be kept at work for from six
to nine weeks and her broods may be
given to. other hens to care for.
People who use an incubator, says
the Minnesota Experiment station,
should not remove chicks from the
machine until they are thoroughly
dry. Colds at this time are likely to
result in pneumonia and death: The
brooder should be heated to ninety or
a hundred degrees before the chicks
are placed in it, and kept at about
that temperature for week at least,
when the temperature may be gradu-
ally lowered to degree that barely
renders comfort.
The Minnesota Experiment station
does not advocate the spending of
money for an incubator unless one is
prepared to devote enough time and
study to the Matching of eggs to make
it profitable investment. If an in
cubator is used it should be placed in
a room specially prepared for it,
where it can be the least disturbed by
the changing temperature.
The Minnesota Experiment station
has found through a brief experiment
tation that pullets Matched in April
and May:will develop into best winter
layers. = It is easier to get strong,
fertile eggs during those months than
later in the summer.

of Brown county.

of Brown county.
Upon the arrival of Mr.. Peterson,
he and Mr.. Gislason went at once be-
fore Judge Olsen with Attorney
General Simpsons order, and pre-
sented it to the judge, who became
excited and indignant and refused
point blank to allow Mr.. Gislason to
appear before the Grand Jury.
On the face of the attitude o. the
County Attorney and the temper of the
Court in general, it was very evident
that there would be no use to go before
the Grand Jury under such circum-
stances and expect an honest interpre-
tation of the law, consequently Sykes
and his attorney went home and Mr..
Peterson returned to st. Paul.
What the next move in the matter
will be is not as yet fully determined
{ It would seem that this incident
raises the question of authority. If
the Judge was in the right in ignoring
and defying the Attorney Generals
appointments of Mr.. Gislason then was
it not an insult to the Judge on the,
part of Atty. Gen. Simpson, and, on
the other hand if Mr.. Simpson is right,
and is honestly and fearlessly trying
to enforce the law, is it not direct
slap in his face on the part of Judge
Olsen.
There is one thing sure, and that is
that perjury crime has been COM
m:tted by Marcus Lauritsen. If not,
why then this scrap between the exc
cutive and judicial parts of our
government.
The case wherein the perjury was
alleged to have been committed was
tried before Judge I. M. Olsen at
Ivanhoe at the regular spring term of
court in March 1908, with G. w.

Shirt Factory to Be Established in
Former Park School House.
Will be in Operation by June
18th. Five Year Lease
Granted by City Council
to St. Peter Concern.
Home People To Be Employed.

The establishment of shirt and
overall factory in New Ulm is now an
assured fact. The negotiations be-
tween Johnson & Co. of St. Peter and
the City Council of this city have been
closed, resulting in satisfactory in
ducements to the gentlemen from st.
Peter. The City Council agrees to
furnish the four room Park School
House building for period of five
years and Johnson & Co. have the pri-
vilege of extending the time to ten
years. 1t will be completely remodel
led so as to be we'll adapted for the
purposes ..of the factory, and thirty
machines will be installed. A man to
take charge of the factory and a fore
lady for the sewing room will be sent
from St. Peter, and the remainder OF
the employees will be engaged at New
Ulm. Operations will be commenced
by June 18th.
A clause in the contract provides a
payment of $500 to the city of New
Ulm, should Johnson & Co. abandon
the building before the fve-year lease
expires and fail to comply with the
other provisions of the contract. The
contemplated changes and repairs to
be made in the building will cost in
the nei5hborhood of $500.
The thirty girls which will be en-
ployed in the factory will receive free
instruction from experienced opera
tors. The former can earn from IS cts
to $500 a day, according to fheir skill.

District Court.

Wednesday morning the District
Court of Brown Co. was adjourned by
Judge Olsen. On that morning the
jury returned verdict in the SANDER
suit of 81. L. Cbaffee against b. +.
Berkner of $500 in favor OF the plain
tiff. The suit which was of more than
ordinary interest and which had crea-
ted quite a sens alton throughout the
county is the outgrowth of a dispute
over a bill for rental in the sum of So.
The presentation of this bill by Mr..
Chaffee to Mr.. Berkner seemed to have
brought on a strained relation between
the two men.
This situation was by no means i'm
proved by the fact that Chaffee, a new
conner to Sleepy Eye, had embarked in
business in the hometown of Berkner
and had evidently come to stay. Thus
the whole matter resolved itself into a
question of whether q man who is
otherwise a desirable character has
theprivilege to start a business against
the wish and approval of a so-called
competitor, who is already established
for number of years. This is the
only conclusion fair minded people
must draw from the evidence produced
in court and on this conclusion the
verdict OF the jury seems to have been
based and the verdict rendered accor-
dinghy.
Mr.. Berkner favored Mr.. Chaffee
with such endeavoring names as ''Tin
Horn Sport "Cheap-skate'' etc.
In the opinion of Judge Pau who
presided these terms were not action
able in court The following express
sion, however, made by Mr.. Berkner,
s'I'll show some of these broken down
travelling men, who cannot make a
success on the road that they can not
come here and bunco the people with
a lot of rotten chunk" was held action
able and This expression, no doubt,
was considered sufficiently damaging
in the deliberations Of the jury as to
return verdict in favor of Mr.. Chat.
fee.
In the suit of John Johnson against
J. B. Augustine, ct al supervisors, the
jury returned a verdict for the plain
tiff to the amount of S15. The action
was against the town of Burnstown
and was to determine whether the town
supervisors were justified in tearing
down a fence, constructed by the
plaintiff on land which he claimed
belonged to him, but which was held
to be part of the public road by the
supervisors. The contention of the
plaintiff seemed to have been the cor
rect one according to the iurys ver-

PROBE OF PERJURY CHARGE
REFUSED
Brown Co. District Court Asked to
Take up Lincoln Co. Case.
Attorney General Simpsons
Request Ignored.
Brown Co. Parties Said to be In
vOlved.

'Blockading the law" is what editor
Sykes of the Tyler Journal calls the
refusal of Judge Olsen to allow
perjury case to be brought before the
Brown Co. Grand Jury during the
May term. We confess that we are
not familiar enough with the details of
the case as to form an impartial
opinion and must therefore entirely
RELY upon the history of the case as
given by the Tyler Journal in it's
issue OF May Goth. All we know is
that Assistant Attorney General,
Peterson, was in the city during the
Grand Jury was in session with in
structions from Attorney General
Simpson to secure an Indictment from
the Brown Co. Grand Jury. From
the following statements of Mr.. Sykes
our readers can form their own
opinion. We quote:
III. Sykes, with his Attorney B. B.
Gislason of Minneota. were in New
Ulm Wednesday to submit evidence
before the Grand Jury in the matter of
a case of perjury which was committed
by Marcus Lauritsen in civil action
brought by b. Sykes, wherein the
former was defendent and the latter
was plaintiff.
The pleadings in this case were
sworn to before Geo. W. Somerville.
of Sleepy Eye, hence an indictment
would have to be brought in Brown
County. Somerville, it will be re-
membered, was law partner of Judge
I. M. Olsen at the time the Judge was
elected to the bench.
Sykes was before the county attor-
ney of Brown county, Gus. Erickson
last summer, and demanded of Mr..
Erickson that he proceed according to
law in the matter of this charge OF
perjury. But, Mr.. Erickson refused,
giving as his reason that he "didn' 4
think it policy" Now recently, within
the last few days Mr. Erickson op:
posed the idea of having the matter
presented to the Brown county grand
jury, giving as his reasons that ''he
thought the case was one of spite work
and that it was not matter for Brown
county to consider -....
Since it was very evident that the
county attorney would oppose the pre-
sentation of the evidence to the Crane
Jury. Mr.. Gislason Immediately go
in touch with Atty. General Simpson
by wire. The Attorney Generals De
partment having previously reviewed
the evidence, as to the nature of The
crime, phoned Mr.. Gislason Tuesday
evening that Asst. Atty. Gen. Peter
son would be in New Ulm Wednesday
noon with a commission appointing
Mr.. Gislason Special Assistant At
torney General to present the above
alleged charge of perjury agains
