RED APPLE FEAST
WILL Be FINE
ARRANGEMENTS FOR WESTERN
MONTANA'S BANQUET PRO-
CROSSING RAPIDLY.

The committee in charge of the Red
Apple banquet, which is to be held
here Saturday evening, is making
progress with it's work, and the indi-
cations are that the 1913 banquet will
lose nothing in comparison with those
that have gone before. The general
interest in the affair is good and the
local support promises to be very sat
lsfactory. Reports originating in Hell
ena are encouraging. Now that Gov
ernor Stewart has made his arrang
ments to attend it seems certain that
practically all of the state officers as
we'll as the legislators will be grouped
about the banquet board Saturday
evening A large number of promi-
nent Helena citizens have signified
their intention of coming over to at
tend the banquet and the special train
VIII carry a capacity load when it
steamS away from the Helena station.
The committee is very anxious to
have the local ticket sale closed by
Thursday evening. 1t is urged that all
who can possibly arrange to attend
get their tickets before Thursday
evening in order that some idea may
be gained of the number hat will be
pres mt. In order to facilitate the dis
poSal Of the tickets, Secretary Fergu-
son has placed them on sale at A. D.
Prices news stand on Higgins avenue
and at Fred knisely's cigar store on
East Cedar street.
The secretary received a telegram
from President A. J. Earring of the
Milwaukee last evening. Mr.. Earring
announced that it would be impossi-
bic for him to attend the banquet, but
that he would appoint Traffic Mana
ger r. NJ. Calkins to represent the
Milwaukee on the program. Mr.. Cal
kin is a good speaker, and President
Earring made a good selection. His
ak should prove of interest to all the
citizens of Missoula and to the legisla-
tors.

commerce yesterday appointed the fol-

According to circular letter re.
ceived by County Auditor Louis G.
Vogel from Executive agent H. A.
Rider of the State Game and Fish
Commission, that section of the state
law requiring residents of Minnesota
who make application for either a
small or large game license TO make
affidavit of their post Office address
and length of residence there, must be
rigidly enforced, thus making it i'm
possible for non-residents of the state
to secure game licenses under the pre-
text of being residents of Minnesota
unless they desire to perjure them
selves and thereby become liable to
prosecution.

Farmers Stun& by Insurance.

Some twenty-five farmers Of Brown
and Redwood counties are now re-
GREETING, more or less seriously, the
credulity with which they were in
duced to invest in hail and tornado
insurance little over five years ago
and before they are through with
the court litigations which threaten
them, they will have paid quite dear
ly for the insurance. The whole af-
fair seems to be of a very compli-
Gated nature and will no doubt hold
the attention of the district courts
for some time.
It appears that M. NJ. Berlin, a
former saloonkeeper at Springfield,
gave up his activities in the liquor
business to become an insurance
agent during the month of July,
1908, and in the latter capacity call
ed on a large number of farmers in
Brown and Redwood counties. offer
ing them insurance AGAINST hail and
tornadoes in the Minnesota Farmers
Mutual Insurance Company of Min
neapolis. Mr.. Berlin apparently
made a success of his venture for he
induced about twenty-five prominent
farmers of the two counties to take
out policies in the company which
he represented and each Of them
paid him the seemingly small initial
installmcnt of SIS, the balance to

year, being assessed against the

State Insurance Department, after
thoroughly investigating the busi-
ness methods and affairs of the in
surance company, rescinded the lat
ter's license but later re-instated the
company and allowed it to again do
business after the concern had COM
piled with the departments order,
In the meantime, however, some of
the farmers who had purchased poll
cies of Mr.. Berlin returned them
to the home Office and secured SINH
lar insurance in other companies.
Other purchasers of the mutual poll
cies did not return them. Repeated
attempts on the part of the Mime
apolis concern to collect the annual
assessments proved unavailing and
now legal steps have been taken to
enforce payment, if possible.
By means of the suits commenc-
ed against the Individual policyhol-
ders in the Hennepin county district
court, the insurance company seeks
to recover the amount of the prem
iums for the past five years, which
total about 500 on each policy and,
aside from this sum, the policies pro-
vide that if legal steps become neces-
sary to collect the assessments, the
will be required to pay
all court costs. 1t is probable that
a change of venue to Brown and
Redwood counties, respectively, will
be secured by Attorney August G.
Erickson Of Springfield, who repre-
sents twenty-five Of the policyhold-
ers interested in the suits.

started threshing rye about four

Plans Outlined For Festival

| The committee of the Junior Pho.
neers having charge of the Old Set
tiers Festival held meeting last
Thursday and decided upon Sunday,
September 14th as the date and Tur-
ner Hall Park as the place for hold
ing this years picnic. The question
OF who should be considered old
settlers was discussed at some length.
When the first Old Settlers Picnic
was held, all those who were here
during or prior to the Indian
| Massacre were considered old set
tiers. After that a year was added
annually, so that at the last celebra-
tion held, all those who were here in
1869 or prior thereto we're classed as
old settlers and received the proper
badge. No account vas taken of the
age apd it happened therefore that all
those who we're born here during or
prior to 1869 we're considered ole
settlers.
The opportunity to have a new deal,
as it we're, presented itself when the
Junior Pioneers were organised. At
the committee meeting recently held it
was decided that only those should be
considered old settlers who came to
either Brown or Nicollet Counties
forty years ago and are at least 60
years of age. In other words, any
one who is past 60 years of age and
came to this section during the year
1873 or prior thereto will be entitled
to the old settler badge. The Second
Regiment Band will furnish the
music. Altho the program has not
been definitely agreed upon, it can be
safely said that there will be the
address of welcome by Mayor Fritsche
and at leas: one speech in German
and one or two physical culture num-
bers.

Is it or Is it not the Car in

Gaily Away?
Those Who Know Are Not

Condolences.

One of the latest professional men to

Eckstein. Under the excellent tutor.
ship of Roy L. Berg he learned to run
the machine at one sitting, and for
the past several days has been seen
chug.chugging up and down our
streets. Tuesday morning he got
stalled on First South near Broadway
for fully half an hour. he vows COW
that he wouldn't accept any machine
as a gift if be had to run it himself all
the time. ...~. .. ,-z5
The car Mr.. Eckstein was drivipg'is

lieved. in q more or Iess mysterious
manner. It is eaid that q law expert
and an auto expert both from New
Ulm discovered this machine some II
or II miles out in the country from q
village not more than 60 miles from
here. Upon being shown the creden-
tials carried by the experts, the party
who had possession Of the "Brush"
in question cheerfully gave it up and
it was towed here the same day. -
New Ulm has barbored only one
well.known "Brush" in its days and
that belonged to Conrad Alex who left
so suddenly and unceremoniously
about two months ago. Those who
knew the Alex car, imagined that they
recognized an oldsfriend when it made
its appearance on the streets last Sat-
urday, They looked it over, read the
number 1877, and we're ready to swear
that it was Conrsd's brush" that he
used to have when be was in the en-
ploy of Uncle Sam as rural mail car
rier. The present owner claims this
is all a mistake; that he bought it from
some one who does not answer to the
name of Conrad Alex; that the car
never belonged to the erstwhile mail
carrier and there you are. Like the
army mule, however, the car bears a
private mark of Identification. The
man who owned it before it was sold
to Alex says that on the back of the
seat is private "brand" where the
wood is scorched. The mysterious
car bears a mark of the sort described
by him-and there you are again.
The former owner also reports that
be at one time had a photo taken of
the car on which the number 1877
appears very distinctly, which, of
course, would be a peculiar co.inci-
dence.
New Ulm review., 1913-09-03
threshing was literally loaded with
railroad spikes.

threshlng was literally loaded with
railroad spikes.
Spikes each about ten inches long
were placed two and two, head upon
head, and then tied together with
binder twine and wrapped in oats
straw in such fashion that this des-
picable work could not be easily de-
tected. Before the men noticed any,
thing, about twelve bundles had pass
ed thru the machine doing the damage
aforementioned. "
To prevent any further damage,
and possibly a serious mishap, it was
found necessary to open each bundle
and examine it carefully before it
was fed to the machine. This meant
slow work and it was quite late be-
fore the job was finally completed.
There were no spikes or iron of any
kind in the second stack, an oats
stack, but in the third and fourth
stacks, also oats, the spikes were
found in the second and third rows
from the bottom and some iron was
found in the inner rows.
The whole thing was done in such
way that those who were in charge
of the threshing are firmly convinced
that this contemplate work was done
by some one who is throughly CONVEX
SAINT with threshing and knew just
how to plant the spikes to do the most
damage by catching the threshers in
an unguarded moment. The act must
have been perpetrated between Sun
day evening and Monday morning.
The total damage done will not ex-
ceed $4,000 and all things considered
it passed off most fortunately. The
damages might easily have been
much greater and besides that, there
was the danger of having some of the
men hurt and possibly killed. Ac-
cording to the threshers this BASTARD
ly trick was done by one man and
they have their suspicious which point
to man who lives in New Ulm. No
efforts will be spared to run him
down. Considerable feeling has
been aroused on account of this act
of wantonness and already $325.00 re-
ward money for the arrest and con-
viction of the guilty party has been
subscribed by the following: Mander-
field Bros, $4,000; Louis Ochs, $100;
Jos. Tauer, $4,000 and John Schons,
$500.
