Under Suspended Sentence.

When brought before City Justice B.
n. Deters Monday morning to answer
to the charge of beating his board bill
at the Grand Hotel, DR.. E. c. Wilson
whose real name is Dsrd, admitted

In New Ulm he learned for the first
time that he ought to have license to

scared and pulled out suddenly Thurs.
day, but promised by letter to be back
in a few days. He was caught al
F irfax Saturday by Sheriff Julius
who went over there with an auto anG
brought him back to New Ulm the
same day and lodged him in Jail. Mr..
Dard telegraphed his wife at Hesper,
Iowa for money and she sent him S25'
He returned all the moneys he bad
collected from our citizens, paid his
board bill, Sheriff's fees amounting to
S15.25 and the justice fees. This
cleaned him out almost completely and
a dollarwas returned to him to enable
him to get out of town. He was fined
$50. and costs anG sentence suspended
upon his promise to leave the city at

Vandalism IN OUR Public Parks.

For some time the Park Commission
members have been aware that damage
even to the point of destruction
of park property has been going
on but were unable to get hold
of any of the defenders. Last week,
however, they we're fortunate enough
to apprehend atyoung boy who had
wilfulIy broken down one of the park
bepches in North German Park.
About the same time they caught an
eight year old lad while In the act OF
chopping down tree about 8 inches
In diameter in South: German Park.
The bark had been stripped of OF
three trees and this tree was partially
cut down. The parents of the boy
who did this damage paid . fine of
$500 and the boy who broke the bench
was assessed 94.O0. The park suthori-
ties have determined to prosecute all
offenders and give fair warning to oil
to leave park property severely alone.
There seems to be prevalent disre-
gard for allCpublic property and this
should be discouraged % much -
possible. It behooves parents to warn
their children how to conduct them
selves when they 60 into our public
parks 80 that there will be no further
damage or destruction of public
property.
A warning ought to prove sufficient
because We are inclined to the belief
that 1t is mere thoughtlessness on the
part of the children and not mesnness
that prompts them to commit these
depredations. a@
In line with this criticism is the
conduct of the children during the
park concerts. Complaints we're quite
general that large number of them
were very noisy and unruly at last
Sundays concert:land that, as re-
suit, those who went there for the
purpose of enjoying the music could
not do SO and were quite generally
disappointed, Here again, the
parents can assist a great deal, by
going to the concerts with their
childen and seeing to it that the little
ones do not become too boisterous.

G. Erickson, John E. Schmidt, Jos.
J. Sperl, Anton O. Ouren and Nels J.
Ouren represented Brown County
Democracy 1t the State Convention at
Duluth last Thursdsy. The conven-
tion proved . decidedly tame affair,
harmony prevailing thruout. The pre-
dicted pyrotechnics from the Lawler-
O'Conner crowd did not materalize.
A feeble attempt was made to stam-
pede the convention for Bryan, but
the friends of Bryan successfully
thwarted every move of this kind. The
delegates to the National Convention
were instructed to cast their ballots
for. Woodrow Wilson, with William
Jennings Bryan as q second choice
whenever, two-tbir6s of the delegates
should consider it advisable to swing
to the s'Peerless One". The undercur'
rent for Bryan is stronger than ever
and the friends of the Nabraskan are
confident that the convention Will
demand that he make the race once
more as the standard bearer of 3
united Democracy /. and predict his
election in the fall campaign The
resolutions pay glowing tribute to
the late Gov. Johnson and to the
Peerless Leader. They are progress
sive in the highest sense OF that term,
and are founded on that basic Demo
cratic principle Equal rights for
all, special privileges for none."

Pearl Fishing in the Minnesota

in the Minnesota River since word
went around that pearls we're being
found by the clam digging crews at
work along the river here. Not that
there have been any wonderful finds
in the way of pearls but the gambling
instinct that lies in most of US is
reused at the thought that possibly
some where in the dirty waters OF the
Minnesota lies small fortune hid in
clam shell. Crowds of people have
been frequenting the clam fishers
camp curious to see what may come
up in the catch. Not long ago q gold
watch belonging to John Gareis was
found by the men at work and re-
turned to the owner. 1t had been lost
by him when fishing seven years ago.
We understand it was in good con-
dition and needed but little repairing.
But If no great finds reward the
curious, much of interest is to be seen
in the work. The clam fishers gave
the "Review" representative a most
interesting account of their industry
here and at other points. They tell
US there is no law against the taking
OF freshwater CLANS in any state of the
Union except Missouri where they
may not be taken until after June 1st.
This leaves clear field for the clam
pickers and IN late April they pitched
their tents near the foot of "B"
Street, built their boats and began
gathering their harvest. There are
two crews working and they keep four
boats on the river from 6 in the
morning to 6 at night. They employ
laborers from the neighborhood and
considerable IT the money made out
of the fishing will remain here in New
Ulm.
They tell US the clam bed extends
from the bridge above the Eagle Mills
to the point where they have located.
There seem to be no other clam beds
In the Minnesota of any extent be-
tween here and Msnksto where these
same people worked last year.
The method of taking the clans is
interesting and 10 based on the ugly
OF the creature. It 10 we'll
known that when . clam she'll closes
upon any foreign substance that it 10
considerable Of . task to free it from
the clutch Of the bivalve. This fact is
made use Of In taking the CLANS. A
long iron rod 10 strung with foot long
ropes, each one carrying . stout, four
pronged hook at the end. These rods
are towed along in the water by boats
md the hooks drag on the mud of the
bottom. The CLAIMS lie pointing up
stream with their shells slightly
opened. The wicked hooks dragging
along find their way into the shells
and the clam snaps his she'll upon the
prongs and never lets go until he is
pried loose on shore.
The CLANS are left few hours lying
IN the air. They soon die and the
shells are then thrown into pot and
boiled for ten minutes. This loosens
The flesh and the shells are ready for
market.
The crews working here will ship
'heir harvest to Muscatine, Iowa, to

BODY OF
MAN IN WOODS
Unidentified Victim, Head
Crushed at Silver Lake.

The body of an unidentified man
whose head andeface had been crush
ed by several blows with a weapon
the police have been unable to find,
was discovered early last night in
the Silver Lake woods, near New
Brighton, Staten Island. A watch
chain dangling from the mans waist
coat, but the watch and all jewelry
and money missing, led the police to
believe that the man had been lured
into the woods and killed by high
waymen.
Thes spot where the body was
found Is half a mile from the near
est road, and seldom visited by resi-
dents of the section. The discovery
Of the body vas made by Patrick
Scallon, of Hart Park, who went in
to the woods to chop wood yesterday
afternoon. He was returning to his
home when he stumbled, In the semi
darkness, acros the body. =.
Scallon left the body where 1t was
and hurried to the West Brighton
police station. When the police
searched the dead mans clothing
they found In the pockets several
letters recommending Arthur w.
Winckler, Of Hampton, England. as
an expert florist, particularly prof.
Client In the growing of carnations.
One of the letters was signed by a
florist living In France. There was
nothing in any of the letters that
would indicate where the man lived
In this country. No one who saw
the body at the scene Of the murder
or after 1t had been taken to the
morgue could recognize the man as
one living near the place where
the man was killed.
An autopsy performed on the body
by DR.. George Mord, Coroner's ply
sician, showed that, in addition to
the skull being crushed, the mans
nose and Jaw had been broken.
