While threshing grain on farm
leased by John Schons near the city
cemetery grounds west Of the city,
serious mishap occurred to the
threshing outfit belonging to Mander-
field brothers, which, from all ap-
pearances was direct spite work,
says The New Ulm Journal. While
threshing the grain the men at the
machine were forced to stop several
times Monday afternoon to investi-
gate the cause of what sounded like
the breaking OF teeth on the feeder
wheels. Each time some pieces of
iron, such as railroad tie spikes,
bolts, ETC., were extracted from the
machine Several hours were spent
each time repairing the damaged ma
chine.
Tuesday morning, after having
threshed a few bundles the same
trouble was experienced and the
workmen made an investigation by
opening a large number of the bum
dies. About twenty spikes, some
large bolts, hcrseshoes, etc., were
extracted, all of the iron having
been neatly done up in straw before
being placed in the bundles.

The late w. A. NORM provided in
his will that the sum of $4,000 of
10 oh hn I'm cd
over to trustees, the fund to be
known as the Christmas Fund
The income from the $4,000 was to
be used to furnish a Christmas din
ner each year to needy and deserv
ing persons of Freeborn county with
out regard to religious belief OF
membership in any organization.
A petition was filed by Milton D
Purdy of Minneapolis and Catherine
T. NORM, administrators of the es
tate, in the probate court of Free
born county, asking that the $40,
900 fund be turned over to the trus
tees to be appointed by the distric
court.
The probate court has, however
denied the petition on the GROUND
that the particular provision in tn
! will of Norm is void and that sucf
requests as he attempted to make
are forbidden by law as construed
by the supreme court of the state.
The administrators of the estat
are anxious to have the fund Sc
aside as Mr.. Norm directed, for
was one of the matters he hal
thought much about and planned t
have done.
