. Fire at Winthrop.

The city of Winthrop was the scene
Of a destructive fire Sunday morning
November 23rd which destroyed the
hardware stock and building owned
and occupied by Streseman & Lofthus
and came near costing a number OF
human lives.
The firemen responded promptly to
the alarm and made use of the
chemicals at first, but this proving in.
effective, the water Mas ordered turned
on. Shortly after the men bad taken
their stations at the front and side ol
the building, terrific explosion took
place which wrecked the building, and
hurled millions of fragments of glass
and brick into the air. The fremen
who we're near the building were
thrown back several feet and many
we're cut about face and throat with
flying glass and some of the onlookers
also were hurt in like manner. 1t is
nothing short of q miracle that none
were fatally injured.
1t is thought that a keg partly filled
with gunpowder, and combustion
caused by the compressed air brought
on the explosion, as no gasoline OF
kerosene were kept on the premises
The origin of the fire is unknown.
The owners of the hardware store
estimate their loss at SS, 900 with 81, ,OO(
Insurance.. The building was valued
at $25O0 and was covered by insurance
to the extent of 1920.

hasenpfeffer Dance at Turner Hall.

A "Hasenpfeffer', dance has been
arranged at the Turner Hall Gymna-
sium for Friday evening. December
9th. It will be an invitation affair but
the Committee in charge desires US to
state that if any of the Turner classes
should be overlooked by some mis-
chance in sending the invitations the
secretary, Geo. Hogen, will be only
too glad to remedy the oversight. The
party has been arranged so hurriedly
that there is chance that some of
those who enjoy attending the social
aft airs held at Turner Hall may be
missed in getting out the invitations
and if such should be the case it is
only necessary to notify MIR. Hogan
and the invitation will be promptly
sent. The proceeds of the dance will
be used to defray the expenses OF the
C ass which will participate in the
Turpfest at Denver next June. The
admission price has been set at 35
cents person including lunch. The
dance promises to be one of those
enjoy able informal affairs similar to
the ones given last winter that were so
popular. That there will be good
music goes without saying and the ef-
forts of the twenty-five hunters who
spent last Sunday in soaking rain
were rewarded by net result of a.
rabbits and another party of hunters
will scour the country today to add to
the number so that all who attend tie
dance wiz be sure of generous por-
tiOn of The ''Hasenpfeffer."

Alexander Returns To New
Ulm After Enforced Visit
To Windy City.
Eberhart To Be Asked To
Investigate Chicago Col
lection Methods.

Simon Alexander, the stock buyer
whose arrest caused some stir and
who was taken to Chicago last week,
returned to New Ulm Saturday eve
ming accompanied by his wife. 1t
develops that there was no one to
press the alleged charge of ''conf-
dence game' against him and it
would seem that the entire proceeding
was brought simply for the purpose OF
obtaining the collection of civil
debt, just as had been claimed by Mr.,
Alexander and his attorneys before
his arrest and trip to Chicago.
On their arrival at Chicago, Mr..
and Mrs. Alexander state that they
were taken to hotel where attempts
were made by the attorney of the
complainant, a Mr.. B. E. Page to get
Alexander to settle for the notes held
against him by. Page. He was tolG
that he might go back to New Uln
upon the next train after settling.
Alexander demanded that he be- taken
to court where he might face his
accusers and have his trial. Finally,
be claims, he was taken to Jail and
held in ''durance vile'' instead OF be-
ing taken to court. He saw that there
was no use in standing out any longer
so he "forked over'' some cash and a,
check for $500 and was set at liberty.
the return of the notes beng promised
him, which promise, however, has not
been kept.
Immediately upon the payment of
the money the detectives and officers
disappeared and Mr.. Alexander ap-
piled to the Municipal Court OF
Chicago, where the. complaint is
alleged to have been filed, and was
there told that the case had been dis
missed and he could go home. He.
finally succeeded in getting a So
called discharge" from the Clerk of
Court which looks like a fake tran
script.
Mr.. Alexander's story would sound
almost incredible if it we're not for the
fact that he is in possession OF q
receipt signed by the attorney for Mr..
Page for $500 and also Of the so-called
discharge bearing the seal of the
Municipal Court and the signature o4
the Clerk. The whole affair is ridi-
culous to contemplate because the
payment of the entire debt could un-
doubtedly have been secured through
the usual legal channels.
Mr.. Alexander states that he viii
ask Governor Eberhart to lodge a
complaint with the Governor of IIli-
nOis and ask for q thoro investiga
tion of the whole proceeding.

" The K. c. Bowling team went to
Mankato Monday evening to try a
round with the Mankato K. c. team.
The result was not very gratifying to
the New Ulm players as they lost three
games. The fast condition of the
alleys proved their undoing. The
New Ulm players were R. Pfeferle,
?. Eichten. P. Esser, E. Berg and DR..
A. V. Seifert. The Mankato men
were Landhammer, J. Huettle, Otto
Lamm, L. Huettle and DR.. Weyer.
Otto Lamm had the two highest scores
to his credit, 1856 and 200 pins. Seifert
scored q total of ST. in the three
games, being second high, Lamm
having 566. New Ulm s total for the
three games was 2l62 to Mankato's
1926. The two last games showed q
difference between the teams of only
10 pins in the total scores.

''The Third Degree

Charles Klein, author of 1.-The Third
Degree and other successes, makes
no secret of the manner in which he
endows his characters with virility
and life. He admits frankly that he
takes them from real life. He gra-
ciously acknowledges that 'Mr.
Brewster, the impressive and cagent
constitutional lawyer in his latest
play, 'The Third Degree is none
other than Joseph H. Choate, the vel
known New York lawyer and late
United States minister to England.
Then. too, it is an open secret that
Annie Jeffries. the heroine In the same
play, has her prototype in a young
woman employed in a paper box
factory in Boston, who was discarded
by her wealthy husband because she
was not sufficiently polished for his
set. AS for the gruff, .unrelenting
Police captain, his double can be
found in almost any large city.
Mr.. Klein says that whenever he
sketches character from life, it lends
a ttnge to nature, which a mere
creation of the dramatist's brain can.
not possibly accomplish. .-
The characters in "The Third
Degree stand out as human beings
for the simple reason that they are one
and all transplanted to the drama attic
stage of human existence. 1t would
indeed be difficult to conceive q more
charming, convincing and natural
heroine for any play than Annie
Jeffries, the splendid specimen Of
young American womanhood in Mr..
Klein's justly celebrated masterpiece,
"The Third Degree, - which comes to
the Turner Theatre next Saturday
evening, December 7th.

Play Fair.

Few people know some of the things
the country business man has to con.
tend with. One month is about the
allotted time for him to pay his bills
in, and if not settled then, along comes
a draft that demands immediate pay
ment. On the other hand the mer-
chants customer is often put out when
asked for the small amount he owes,
which sometimes has been carried six
or more months and thinks its funny
that the merchant needs money. The
bank wants seven per cent or more for
all the money it loans, but the mer-
chant is borrowed from, year in and
year out, without thought of an early
settlement. If the local merchant ac-
commodities you, play fair with him if
possible.

TO ELECT TEACHERS

Out Call to Trustees.

Miss Jennie West. County School
Superintendent, has sent out notices
to the trustees of all county schools,
as follows:
Pursuant to a late ruling of the
state superintendent, and that the
new law as to salary. etc., may be
explained, you are notified to meet
your board at my Office at p. M,
June Is, 1912, to elect teachers. All
prior notices you may have as to
meetings for this purpose are void.
by the acts of 1912 each trustee
must recommend, by writing filed
with the secretary of the board. the
teacher he wishes elected to his
school; and must also file any OBJ
jections that may be in his knowl-
edge.
/ hope the trustees will especially
recognize those teachers who are
making sacrifices to prepare them
selves by attending the state normal
schools.
