SPRfRD APPEAL;
TO SOLDIERS Of
RUSSIA BY plane
Said That Addresses Are
Made to Men in Ranks
From Aeroplane.

London, Oct. 3.-The Standards
Petrograd correspondent forwards the
text of the appeal to Russian troops
being dropped from German aero
planes throughout the territory where
Russian troops are stationed, urging
them not to suffer death in lost
cause. The following is the general
tone Of the proclamation:
Soldiers: On the Austrian frontier
the Russian army. after a complete
rout, which occasioned enormous
losses, Is now hastily retreating. Many
Russian killed and wounded have
been abandoned on the battlefield.
IN Poland Is raging a great ire
sistible revolt against which Russian
author1ties are absolutely impotent.
IN MOSCOW revolution has broken
out which will soon spread through
out the length and breadth of the
Russian empire. Your commanders
tell You not to give up freely as cap
tives because they say we torture pris
oners and wounded. Don't believe this
blasphemous slander If this were true
Where could we keep the huge army
OF tormentors and hangmen to kill
and torture the hundreds and thou
sands Of Russian prisoners already
In our midst. Your prisoners are now
living In the interior of our great
country, together with vast numbers
OF french, Belg1ans and British. They
arc all. without exception, very hap
py and comfortable. It is not worth
dying for lost cause. Surrender vo-
UNFAIRLY to your captors and live for
your land, for new and happy Rus
sia."
The Petrograd correspondent of the
Standard says a military train arriv-
ed there yesterday from Warsaw
bringing a large number of wounded
and prisoners of war. Among the ar
rivals figured two school teachers. one
a Russian reserve officer, the other
German. The two wounded men
lay side by side. unconscious on the
battlefield of Tamazon.

WiCherSki Asks
$4,000 Damages
FORMER CITY CLERK FILES
LIBEL SUIT AGAINST PHILIP
LIESCH.
CHARGES DEFAMATORY ART.
ICLES IN THREE ISSUES OF
JOURNAL.

Tuesday, yesterday, noon Ernst Wi
cherski filed a libel suit against Philip
Liesch as publisher with Clerk of Court
Carl P. Manderfeld. This suit is the
outcome Of the publication of matters
in the Brown County Journal rejecting
on Wicherski's honesty and integrity
while he was city clerk of the City of
New Ulm.
The complaint is quite voluminous
one and Mr.. Liesch is sued on three
different counts. It sets forth that by
reason of the publication of the false,
ibilus and demafatory articles in question
the plaintiff has been injured and damaged
in his reputation and business on each
cause of action in the sum of $4,000.
This makes total of SIS, 5000 that the
former city clerk seeks to recover from
the publisher of the Brown County
Journal
The complaint alleges that the first
ibeous publication was made on April
4th. 1t will be remembered that on
that day the Brown County Journal in
glazing head lines accused the plaintiff
of being short several thousand dollars
in his accounts as city clerk of the city
of New Ulm and accused him of juggling
figures. In this article Mr.. Wicherski
was said to have admitted his guilt and
that he had deposited with the finance
committee a certified check in the sum
of $4,000 to cover his shortage.
1t would cover too much ground to
set forth here in extenso all the different
accusations that were made against Mr..
Wicherski in that issue of the Journal.
The complaint, however, gives them all
and there are quite number of them.
The complaint also goes on to state
that on the 9th day of April, 1914,
notice was served upon the defendant
to retract the false, libelous and de-
famatory article in question and that the
publisher of the Journal failed to do so.
In the second cause of action the plain
tiff sets forth that on the 18th day of
April he was again ibeled by the de-
tendant by reason of the publication
Of an article in the Journal headed 'cLet
There Be Light, which the defendant
also was called upon to retract and which
he failed to do.
Journal published another article in
reference to the city clerks accounts
which was headed "A Stormy Session.
This is set forth as the third cause of
action in the complaint. A personal
demand for retraction of this defama-
tory article was also made on April 9th
which was, like all other demands for
retraction, ignored by the defendant.
The complaint as filed covers only the
defamatory matters contained in the
Brown County Journal. Whether or
not Mr.. Wicherski intends to sue Mr..
Liesch also for defamatory matters
which appeared in the Violksblatt the
week Sl1hSauuent tn Tho publication in
the Journal, time will tell. Unless this
case is settled and disposed of in some
way out of Court it will be reached at the
Court of Brown County.

OLD SETTLERS PICNIC PLANS
OUTLINED.

Last Friday evening the committee
in charge of the old settlers picnic to be
held next Sunday, had a meeting at
Turner Hall at WHICH time the program
was practically agreed upon. AS in
former years, the speech-making will
be confined to an address of welcome by
the Mayor and a speech in German
Acting Mayor Theo. Mueller will deliver
the one and Albert Steinhauser the other.
The Second Regiment Band will begin
at one o'clock. AS in former years the
pioneers and old settlers will be the
guests of the Junior Pioneers.
All those who were here during and
prior to the Indian Massacre are classed
as pioneers. Those who arrived after
the Outbreak in 1862 and have lived
here forty years and are over 60 years
old will be classed as old settlers. A
ladies' auxiliary consisting of Mrs. L. b.
Krook, Mrs. L. G. Bell and Mrs. w. G..
Alvin will see to it that the pioneers and
old settlers are provided with good
things to eat. Arrangements will also
be made so that others can procure their
supper at the park at reasonable price.
1t has not been definitely decided, but
serving sandwiches during the afternoon
may be one of the features that will also
be taken care of by the ladies' auxiliary.
Several physical culture numbers have
been promised and races of various
kinds for the children are on the pro-
gram. To help defray the expenses of
the Fest an admission fee of 10 cents
to the Park will be charged. A cordial
invitation is extended to everybody
who enjoys the German way of cele-
brating Volksfest to be present. The
committee in charge of the picnic
consists OF Herman Helm, George Marti,
John Henle, Louis Schilling, ]. P. Graf,
Chas. Stolz, w. j. julius and Henry P.
Bastian.

to Station 1851 and includes dragging
1850 cubic yards of grounds, 600 cubic
yards off taking bitches at 15c per cubic
yard and turnpiking 24OO lineal feet at
$500 per hundred feet. The work on
this section of the road must be COM
menced on or before April 18th, 1915,
and completed on or before July LIST, 1915.
Under his third contract Mr.. Schmitz
will have to drag 1915 cubic yards of
earth between Stations 1861 and
1880 at 15c per cubic yard and turn
piking $3.50 lineal feet at $1.O0 per
hundred feet. Work on this Job must
be commenced before July LIST, 1915, and
completed before October LIST, 1915. The
off-take bitches are open drains leading
from the bitches at the side of the road
and they must be constructed for the
purpose of keeping the side bitches
from overlooking the road in time OF
high water.
The contracts for this initial work we're
awarded by the County Commissioners
last week. The bids were returnable
Sept. End when the Board met and adj
journed to Wednesday, September 9th.
The total cost of the dragging work as
contracted for amounts to $12,8O4. 80.
The estimate of the district engineer
placed it at $16,629.1O, saving to the
parties interested of $3,824.80.
One bid for the entire job was filed
by A. G. Anderson. He agreed to do
the entire job as provided in the plans
and specifications for $54 ,239.48, several
hundred dollars less than the engineers
estimate for the entire work. There
was also bid from Frederick & Barnard
of Minneapolis for $17,941.35 for the
dragging work which was not considered
because it exceeded the engineers esti-
mate by $1212.25. William O'Shea &
Sons of Minneapolis submitted a bid for
$6145 to furnish all the bridges as
specified and P. C. Hanson of Springfield
a bid for $4327 90 for the culverts. Otto
Neitge of Mankato submitted COM
bination bid for the bridges and culverts
for the sum of $7,755. This, however,
did not include $1,000 worth of culvert
work. All the bids for work outside of
the dragging were rejected and the Coun-
ty Auditor was directed to invite bids
for thing, culverts and bridges returnable
by October 18th. Bids for graveling
part of the work which is estimated to
cost $24,535.00 will not be invited until
next spring.

GAME WARDEN TOO JEALOUS.

On Thursday of last week Peter J
Karpen received a notification of his
appointment as a special game warden
for Nicollet county. Mr.. Karpen lost
no time in getting on the job, and at
Swan Lake, on the opening day of the
hunting season, clashed with three sports
men from Mankato, whom he charges
with violating the law prohibiting shoot
ing before sunrise.
It appears from Mr.. Karpens story
that he went down to the lake front
while it was still dark. Before $50
shots had been fired at distant places
on the lake, and finally two men near
at hand fired into flock of ducks and
brought down one of them. Mr.. Karpen
made careful note of the time, and says
it was exactly SIG. He started for them
in his boat, and at 5:18 third person
fired.
When he reached the scene of the
shooting he learned that Rube Foster
and Henry Theissen were responsible for
the first shots, and that the third was
fired by G.. H. Saulpaugh He obtained
their names, and also the names of wit
nesses, and notified them that they were
likely to hear from the proper authorities.
Later the Mankato men called him
over to their camp. when it was dis
covered that Mr.. Karpen's watch was
ten minutes behind the Mankato time
pieces, which registered practically the
same. Because Of this discrepancy in
time deputy game warden from Mime
apolis advised Mr. Karpen to drop the
case. However, the St. Peter man went
to St. Paul yesterday morning to consult
H. H. Rider, executive agent of the state
game and fish commission, who will
determine what action is to be taken.
