bad Boys" Break Bounds

Richard Polzin, the 13 year old Sc n
OF Herman Polzin was lodged in Jail
Tuesday morning, charged with the
larceny of 81. 50 from the home OF bis
uncle, Carl Reinke living on Payne
Street Monday afternoon.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Carl Reinke and
Mr.. and Mrs. Herman Polzin left Mon
| day for Golden to attend the funeral
Of relative and we're not expected
home until Tuesday evening. On the
afternoon in question the Polzin boy
was playing at his uncle's house. he
left some time before the Reinke boy
was ready to 60 after the COW in the
evening and watched from distance
to see where he hid the key. As soon
a. bis cousin was gone, Richard got
lthe4 key, opened the door, and ram
sacked the house quite thoroly. AS
far as is known now, all he secured
was 81. so in money. OF this amount
be gave so cents to sister, 25 cents to
brother and the balance he either
spent or lost, because he mad no money
when taken into custody.
The Reinke boy discovered the theft
when he looked for the money to get
hair cut and Immediately made the
loss known to the police. The young
culprit was taken into custody Tues
day morning and racticslly admitted
everything. It is doubtful if any crimi-
nal proceedings. will be instituted,
however, as the parties are related.
Further acts of vandalism were COM
mitted last Sunday evening between
six and seven o'clock, at the City
Cemetery this time. When August
Kuester, the keeper of the public Gene.
terry, arrived there Monday morning
he noticed at once that considerable
devastation had been committed.
Flowers and plants had beeo torn cut
and scattered around and glasses and
lars had been dehbera ately smashed
against the monuments by the miscre-
ants. ......
The vandals had evidently entered
on the north side of The cemetery
grounds, leaving on the south side.
IN the course of their march nearly
every grave and cemeterJ lot had been
visited and devastated by them. They
must have been disturbed by some
one. because in their haste to get

of good she did for humanity.
In referring to the medical pro-
fession, the Archbishop spoke Of their
constant and unselfish efforts in the
interests of humanity, how thru their
scientific research new discoveries
have been made and are being made
which all look to the betterment of
humanity and the lengthening Of
human life. In conjunction with the
art of healing the science of nursing
has sprung up and forms very inn

to health. The local medical frater-
nifty he classed among the ablest and
best in the State and said that it was
not necessary for anyone to go out
side of the home community to re-
ceive the best of medical care and
attention.
The purposes of a hospital the
speaker gave as two-fold, to get
people we'll when they are sick and
to keep them in health when they
have recovered. In this connection he

that sobriety in all things proves
conducive to health and urged his
hearers to shun all things that make
for disease.
In closing Archbishop Ireland paid
the citizens of New Ulm high conf
pliment for their progressive spirit
and expressed the hope that they
would appreciate the new hospital as
It really deserves to be appreciated
He was followed by Mayor Fritsche
who spoke in German and devoted
most of his remarks to discussing
the well-known rules of health and
the necessity of proper sanitation.
Rev. Schlinkert then followed with a
German address also which was at
tentively listened to by all. DR..
Stricken and Chaplain Schott spoke
briefly and that concluded the pro-
gram. All those who had not pre-
viously inspected the hospital were
given the opportunity to do so. The
whole program of the dedicatory ex-
ercises lasted nearly two hours.
