New Ulm review., 1913-05-07

The John Gund Brewing Co. OF LA
Crosse, Wis. II sending out to their
customers . beautiful picture entitled
"a Fighting Chance" Our friend
Billy Meyer Of La Crosse, Wis. Was
kind enough to send 40 one.
April registered range Of tempera.
ture from "A degrees to 50 degrees.
Tho low temperature WAS chalked up
by Weatherman Alex Henle on the 9th
Of the month and the balmy summer
days fell on the 22nd and 23rd. A total
precipitation of3.6 inches put the fields
into tip.top condition for tho crops
and the prevailing south wind brought
out the buds on The trees and the grass
in abundance. There were IL clear
days and II cloudy ones, truly April
weather with 8 days thst we're sun-
shine and shadows mixed. The snow.
fall amounted 70 10 inches and We en-
joyed . thunderstorm on the 2lst.
About 2 O'Clock last Tuesday aiter-
noon the team OF P. D. Raverty ran
away while Mr.. Raverty was unload
Ing grain at the Sleepy Eye mill.
They started down the street adjoin-
ing the railroad track past the freight
depot and in turning the corner in
front of the Wooldrik garage, ran
into the team OF Henry Lowenske, and
scattered things generally. AS re-
suit of the collision the tongue of the,
wagon, hitched to the runaway horses
penetrated the side of one of Mr..
Lowinske's horses and killed the
animal. Mr.. Lowinske was thrown
out OF the wagon, his back was injured
and he was generally pretty badly
bruised. He was taken to the Office of
DR.. Welcome and in the evening Was
removed to his home in the Town of
Homo. His injuries which we're at
6rst supposed to be slight, proved
otherwise and for few days his life
was despaired Of. he is now reported
out Of danger. The horse that WAS
killed was. valued at $500. MIR.
Raverty's horses we're not injured but
the wagon Was completely demolished.
Four of w. q. Gieseke's horses
hitched to . manure spreader figured
in an exciting runaway Wednesday
afternoon between and 6 o'clock.
They we're hitched 10 front of the
livery barn and without apparent
reason 80 far a. 10 known, tore loose.
and chased along lst North Street
toward the river. At German Street.
they collided with telephone pole
which caused the horses to part
company, one remaining behind. The
other three kept on their mad career.
across the tracks of both railroad
companies and veered to the right in
front Of Msth. Pederson's place on
Front Street, then rushed down Front
Street and turned up Center Street
where they we're finally caught near
the New Ulm Feed & Cereal Mill. The
remarkable thing about the runaway
was the fact that the horses escaped
without 3 scratch, although the tongue
of the wagon broke about four blocks
before they we're caught. The spread
er valued at S125 was completely de-.
molished and is total loss. 1t was
literally broken into kindling wood,
there being hundreds of pieces and
none of them worth saving.
William Albrecht of whose arrest,
and extradition to Montana We made,
mention at the time it occurred visited
with his mother, Mrs. Frederick AL
brecht, the past week, having been.
duly cleared of the criminal charge by
. Montana jury. According to his
story Albrecht bought the horses and
other property Of George Vennum, the
sale being in every way bona fide.
There was however, chattel mort
gage on the property of which AL
brecht had no knowledge and as soon
as he had taken the horses out OF the.
county, the owner Of the chattel mort
gage became alarmed and demanded
an accounting of Mr.. Vennum. Mr..
vennum, possibly afraid that he might
get into trouble because be had given
Mr.. Albrecht permission to take the
property to Canada. or that he might
lose the money that was still due him.
on the notes given him by Mr.. AL
brecht for part of the purchase money
(which however, was not yet due) COM
menced the criminal proceedings which
resulted in Mr.. A1brecht's extradition,
trial and subsequent acauittal. Mr..
Albrecht will return TO Montana this
week.
