"Reports have been published and
speeches have been made that q cruci-
fix was publicly burned by the infidels
of New UIm. After full investiga-
ton by the suthor of this work moth
ing could be found to corroborste this
base cslumny. All that can be stated
in regard to this matter is that after
the siege of New Ulm a half. burned
crucifix was found on the prairie in
the vicinity OF the Evangelical church.
A crucifix was undoubtedly purloined
from one of the numerous Catholic
homes and was lost or thrown away
on the prairie. Other reports TO the
contrary are untrue and may be set
down as foul slander.

Which of these incidents, the finding
OF q half-burned crucifix or the mock
funeral of President Fischer, led to .
spreading Of the report that Christ had
bean burned in effigy here at New Ulm
it may be hard to tell. The fact OF the
matter is, however, that Christ was
never burned in efigy in New Ulm.
Judge Daniel Buck of Mankato in bis
history of the Minnesota Valley also
refers to these rumors aud puts them
down as bare-faced lies and not war;
ranted in fact. In writing up this af-
Fair, the Review has been prompted
solely by desire to set the early sett-

facts as they actually occurred and al.
low our readers to draw their own
conclusions. The Review always

FOUR DAYS FIGHTING ENDS.
Only One Foreigner Reported Injured at
Tampico.

Washington, ID. G., Dec. l5,--After
four days of fierce fighting, the Mexican
federal garrison at the seaport OF Tam
pico, reinforced by the arrival OF gun
boats with troops, ammunition and dy-
Mantle, has driven the attacking eonstl-
tutionalists out of range of their guns.
With CESSATION of hostilities, medical
officers from the United States gunboat,
Tacoma, and the scout cruiser, Chester,
are ashore in the military hospitals help
ing to care for more than 200 wounded.
This information was contained in
dispatches from Rear Admiral Fletcher
to the navy department. The last mes
sage was dated 1000 p. m. Saturday
when the firing had ceased and the con-
had withdrawn. The
message was sent by wireless from Tam
pico to Vera Cruz where it was cabled
in cipher to Washington via. Galveston,
which accounts for its slow transmission.
The only foreigner mentioned in Rear
Fletcher's dispatches as having
been injured is Edward Finlay, who was
shot in the ankle but is being cared for
in the hospital in Tampico and is report
ed to be doing well. Practically all the
foreigners were out in the harbor, sew
eral miles from the scene of the fighting,
some aboard the German and French
ships, but the greatest number on the
American battleships Rhode Island, Nir-
ginia and New Jersey.

lures of the new Cooperative bakery,
which opened in the rear of the Co-opera-
tive store on Granite street to-day. To-

loaves, the first output of one of the
most sanitary bakeries in Vermont, will

struction since early fall
The superstructure is built on a ce-
ment foundation six feet high and is
located well back from the street. Ex-
cellent water and sewer connections
have been made and the construction
and equipment of the building has been
carried out with a view to obtaining
the maximum of sanitary conditions.
The interior is exceptionally well light
cd. By day, whitewashed walls add
greatly to the lighting facilities and
adequate artificial light is furnished by
numerous electrical fixtures. No better
ventilation system could be secured.
The walls are broken in several places
by ample shutter holes that may be
opened or closed to regulate the temper
ature The oven, model of its kind, is
built on a foundation of solid cement.
Baking appliances of the most modern
kind have been installed and everything
will be in readiness for the first mixing

policy of insuring cleanliness, each em-
ploye Of the bakery from the head baker
down to the less skilled helper is re-
quired to discard his street clothes and

day to inspect the quarters of the asso-
eiation Among these were Building In
speetor Rand, who said that the direc-
tors had complied with every city ordi-
nance in erecting the bakery.

charge of st. Bridget's parish at West

being one held by only about half doz-
en- Vermont priests.

Bridget's church in 1897 after holding
pastorates at Burlington Proctor and
Pittsford, successfully, there have been
many improvements made in the build
ing in the way of repairs. He is one OF
the foremost Catholic priests in western
Vermont and is a member of the bishops
council. He was born in Fair Haven and
was graduated from Holy Cross college.
He was ordained at Paris, France, on

Is Ground for Defense Of
William Koch in Rutland
County Court
CHARLES GORDON
WAS THE VICTIM
The Trial Is Attracting a
Great Deal Of
Interest

Rutland Dec. l5-Wiiliam Koch, jr.,
age 35, one of the largest landowners
in Vermont was placed on trial for his
life in Rutland county court this after
noon at o'clock for causing the death
of Charles Gordon of Whitehall, n. y,
age 3S, a trapper, by a bullet wound
traps which he had set without permis-
sion on Mr.. Koch's game preserve in
West Haven about four miles north OF
Lake Champlain, early in the morning
OF November 8. Because of the wealth
OF the respondent there is more than
usual interest in the case. Five of Yer
mont's best lawyers are involved in the
fight. William Koch, father of the ac-
cused, hurried home from Europe, where
he had gone for long visit to his native
town, Because OF the shooting, and has
ben daily visitor at the cell OF his
son at the house of correction.
A special yenire of jurors was sum-
moned for the case because it was an
ticipated that difficulty would be ex-
perienced in getting twelve men who had
not formed an opinion and there was in
dication that the entire afternoon would
be consumed in selecting jury. Al
though Koch told the press immediate
ly after the shooting that his revolver
was discharged accidentally as he drew
il from his pocket when Gordon picked
up heavy club after Koch had smashed
one of the poacher's traps, selfdefense
is the ground on which Nle respondent.
who was indicted by the grand jury for
murder in the first degree, will rely for
justification of the shooting. There were
no witness of the affair except Koch
and his victim. As soon as he saw Cor
don fall the owner of the preserve sent
for a special train to bring physicians
from Whitehall but Gordon died while
on the way TO a hospital
Koch claims that he has had lots of
trouble with poachers dating back to a
time when he was game warden. He
was arrested at his home a few hours
after the shooting and expressed graft
flcaton at the protection of the officers
because that his life would be taken by
Gordon's friends About rs witnesses,
mainly from Whitehall and designed to
show that Gordon was member of a
lawless gang, have been summoned by
the respondent. The state is represent

NOT EVERYBODY, BUT VERY MANY
Went to Church on Accelerated Attend
ance Day. y

Several hundred people gave the church
try-out yesterday. 1t was Everybody
at Church" Sunday and perhaps thous.
and. more or less, who are not numbered
as regular attendants, mingled with that
percentage of the city's population which
calculates to be in the house of worship
on the Sabbath day, fair weather or not
Yesterday the atmospheric conditions
were ideally suited for a big rally to-
ward the churches. People who hadn't
been to church since Sunday morning
maps became fashionable in Jeffersons
administration decided that the services
could do them no harm and were pres
emily logging themselves out for morn
ing worship.
1t need not be said that sizeable pro-
portion of unfamiliar faces in the con-
gregations yesterday were worn by men.
That would be expected in any eommu-
nifty on such an occasion and Barre was
no exception to the rule.
Nevertheless, the casual callers at
church were not all men. There were
women, and generous sprinkling OF
them, too, who came away from morn
ING services thanking their lucky stars

something else occurred to mark the oc-
casion. Yes, the non-churchgoers who
were in evidence at the church yesterday
came from all walks and both sides OF
the family. Everywhere the pastors
who instituted the movement toward
the church were more than gratiiied.
Efforts were made in all quarters to
direct the theme of morning sermons
into channels that would be followed
with especial interest by the occasional
ehurch-goers. At the Hedding Methodist
church. Rev +. F. Newell preached on
the subject, "The Need of a Properly
Adjusted Compass" Rev. J. w. Bar
nett addressed a large congregation ut
the Congregational church on "The Ne
cessity and Power of Religious Ideal
ism,' and Rev. George H. Holt, pastor
of the First Baptist church, chose for
his topic, "The Church. the Greatest
Power At the -niversalist church,
Rev. J. B. Reardon preached on 10y

did he become that John Facetti was

argument.
Michael Marion was also attracted by
the uproar, but he thought it was case
for the police to referee and he notified
