From Mondays Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
The city council, at it's regular
meeting this morning, approved the
plans and specifications for the paw
ing of the streets heretofore ordered
paved, and set the date for the
hearing on May Is at 10 a. m. At
that time interested property owners
are invited to appear and speak for
or against the paving.
Two more blocks were added to
the paving district. 1t was voted
that public necessity requires that
Liberty street be paved with creo-
sOted blocks from Broad to Second
street, and that Lincoln street be
paved with creosoted blocks or with
tar or asphalt macadam from the
east side Of Center street to the
east side of Second street
Change in Material.
The action heretofore taken call
ing for the paving of South Broad
street between Grove and Lincoln
streets was changed SO as to pro-
vide for the paving of that block
either with creosoted blocks or tar
or asphalt macadam The reason
why macadam is included in the two
blocks on Broad and Lincoln is that
there is some fear that the grade
may be too steep for satisfactory
creosoted wood block pavement, as
1T may prove to be slippery. If
this is found OH investigation to be
the case the macadam will be laid
instead Of the blocks.
The action of the council also pro-
vldes for putting in curling and
gutterinS wherever necessary.
South Second Street Sewer.
1t was decided to go ahead with
the proposed change in the size of
the sanitary sewer on South Second
street from Cherry to Liberty and
secure bids on May Is for putting
down fifteen inch sewer to take
the place of the present eight inch
sewer. 1t was thought last week
that this might not be necessary, but
upon investigating the matter more
closely it was thought that the
change ought to be made now, as
otherwise it will have to be made
some time when the pavement is
down.
Gas Mains Will BE Laid.
The Consumers Power company
proposes to lay some gas mains on
South Second street, also, it was
stated. and one or two of the
councilmen questioned the advisable.
ity of paving the street this year.
suggesting that all pipe laying be
done this year and the pavement
lad next year. To rebut this, it was
stated that where this is done ex-
perience showed that the pipe laying
is always put off until just before
the paving is done, and hence moth
ing would be gained by the delay.
The Consumers Power company
made proposition to the council
this afternoon to pump the water

They Were Taken From the Barber
Shop of Louis HuettI.

From Thursdays Daily.
Three weeks ago last night Louis
Huettls barber shop, under Kruse
Bros. clothing store, was entered
and twenty-five razors were stolen.
Yesterday afternoon the razors were
found in an old storage room in the
rear of the basement. This room is
dark, but Henry and Albert Kruse
had occasion to look into it and
lighted match for the purpose.
They were astonished to find the
razors lying on the ground, scattered
about loosely. They picked them
up and found that they were in per-
feet condition, not even rusted in
the least The raZorS were restored
to their owners.
About half of the razors were the
property of Mr.. Huettl and the other
half the property of his barber, Wal
ter Klages. The value Of the razors
was about $3.50.
The finding of the razors has given
rise to considerable speculation as
to the object of the burglar in leav-
ing them where they were found.
1t appears that the janitor of the
building left rear entrance open the
night of the burglary, and it is sup
posed that the thief entered the base
ment in that way and made his way
forward into the barber shop. He
may have been frightened and thrown
the razors into the dark room, hop
ing to get them later.
Former Martin County Boy Is in
Trouble in Iowa.
Loren Bailey, late of Granada, was
sentenced by Judge Doyle at Emmets-
burg, Iowa, to five years in the Iowa
penitentiary for the theft of $40.
There were also several offenses of a
lesser nature charged against him.
1t is said the young man was
rather shady before leaving Martin
county and few months ago was
arraigned in justice court at this
place charged with having stolen
money from the cash drawer in one
of the stores at Granada, but the
matter was settled up by his moth
er's paying the loss and all costs.
The young man is about twenty
years of age. His parents are di-
vorced and the father departed from
here several months ago for the
state of Washington and his mother
went to Minneapolis. The boy has
been of very irregular habits for a
year or two.
Sentence for Man Who Robbed One
Who Befriended Him.
c. II. Stickles, who yesterday aft
ernoon pleaded guilty to the charge
Iof having robbed Herman Schmidt's
residence while spending night
there as guest, was this forenoon
sentenced to serve thirty days in the
county Jail. R. f. Hunt spoke a few

else as much as possible Then the
two men would leave, never to re
turn, and in few days the check
would come back protested and the
farmer would have to reimburse the
bank, as he had endorsed the check
The defendants who are under ar
rest have pleaded not guilty to the
charge and will fight the case to the
end. 1t will be up to the government
to prove it's charge. but it claims to
have numerous witnesses, some OF
whom claim to have been swindled
by the defendants.
Judge Willard overruled the tie
murrer to the complaint in the case
of the government against A. o. Eber-
hart and others.
From Thursdays Daily.
Disappointed over his failure to
find girl that would marry him, heart
sick and weary of the world, Frank
Jaworski, aged siXty-one. ended his
life at New Ulm by sending bullet
into his brain. The rash act of Self.
destruction was committed Saturday
afternoon, but was not discovered un
til last night when Nj. Hippert and
Max Reinhart went to the aged mans
room and found his lifeless body
lying on the bed. An old-fashioned
revolver lay by his side. The bed
clothes were saturated with blood
that had oozed from wound behind
the right ear.
Was a Queer Old Man.
Frank Jaworski was regarded as a
queer old man. He was filled with
eccentricities and whenever he dis
appeared for a few days nothing was
thought of his strange freak. No at
tention was paid to his actions. The
last seen of Jaworski alive was on
Saturday noon when he went to his
room on South Minnesota street He
had partaken of the monday meal at
his boarding house, kept by Max
Reinhart. He appeared to be in his
usual frame of mind, reticent and un,
mindful of his fellow boarders.
The lower rooms of the Jaworski
house were occupied by Mr.. and Mrs
Hippert. During Saturday afternoon
they were absent from the house and
it was during this time that Jaworski
put an end to his life.
Last evening Messrs. Hippert and
Reinhart visited Jaworski's room and
were Mortified to find his dead body
lying on the bed. Indications pointed
to the fact that he had seated him,
self on the bed and then shot him.

Death must have been instantaneous
Was Anxious to Marry.
1t is known that Jaworski was
anxious to marry, but he could find
no girl that would accept his hand
He brooded over his lonely condi.
ton and all efforts of his few friends
to make him happy were in vain.
Jaworski was a cooper by trade
and had lived in New UIm about
twenty years. He had accumulated
considerable property. Those who
searched his rooms located 100 in
certificates of deposit on a local bank
1t is believed that sums of money
are yet to be found in his room.
The coroner has charge of the re
mains.
The dead man is survived by sis
ter, Mrs. Maria Lowaski, who lives in
New Ulm.
