MORE TROUBLE FOR MIC. ca
FARMERS.

Another obstacle has been encountered
by the farmers clubs of the county
whose members have been endeayorine
to direct a systematic campaign te
prevent the spread of hog cholera. Theu
now learn that they will be unable te
secure the services of a government
veterinarian for Nicollet county. but
they refuse to grow discouraged and viii
keep on fighting the good fight.
When the cholera first appeared in
Nicollet county it was proposed to make
application to the government for . fold
expert, and representatives of several
of the clubs went before the county
board and asked for an appropriation
to cover Office expenses. This was
gladly voted by the commissioners hnt
the attorney general made ruling that
the appropriation was illegal, and + had
to be withdrawn.
Il was then decided to raise a funa
by private subscription, and no difficulty
was found in obtaining money Iast

TAKEN PRISONER IN ENGLAND.

To spend over $4,000 on a visit to
his fatherland which ended in a trip to
England, incarceration for three days
and swift return to this country was
the experience of Paul Gewerth who
arrived here last Wednesday afternoon.
Mr.. Gewerth is a cousin of John Gewerth
OF this city and lived here Is years. In
1909 he left for Portland, Oregon, and
has since then made his home there.
DESTROYS of once more seeing his native
land, Bohemia, he embarked on the
Prinzessin Cecilie July 25th. August
Sd about 4 O'Clock in the morning the
ship was captured at falmouth, England
by British cruiser and the crew and
passengers were made prisoners OF war.
Being an American citizen, Mr.. Gewerth
was released three days later and he
travelled to Liverpool from whence he
re-embarked for the United States on the
steamer "Paling'' on August 18th. While
at Liverpool he saw extensive prepara-
tions for the European War. The news
papers, he says, published only victories
OF the British and their allies. He saw
something in Liverpool that he never
saw in this country. He saw dirty,
unkempt women with ragged clothing,
their babies exhibiting the same condi-
tions of squalor, selling matches on the
street. The round trip as far back as
New Ulm cost Mr.. Gewerth $191.
Saturday he returned to Portland. He
expects to visit Bohemia once more, but
will not attempt the trip again for
several years.

CHILDREN THE VICTIMS.

Thursday, August goth, a ''sooner"
invaded the stubble field of Matt.
Rasmussen, three and half miles
southwest of Lamberton, just midway
between Lamberton and Revere, and as
a result of his carelessness in using a
shot gun Rassmussens twelve year old
son, James, is made cripple for life,
the full charge of shot literally blowing
off the first joints of the thumb and index
finger of the left hand, besides otherwise
lacerating the hand, and one shot passed
through his ear and his cheek was also cut.
Another accident was caused Saturday
morning, August 22nd, at the farm
home of John Luckhardt by the ac-
ciddental discharge of shotgun. His
year old son Louis, the victim of the
accident, received such terrible injuries
that it was necessary to amputate his
right arm at the shoulder joint. The
Luckhardts live near Springfield and had
the misfortune to lose an II year old son
about three years ago who playfully
started fire near new straw stack
and was SO terribly burned that he died
a few days later.

POWER co. LOSES OUT AT ST.
PETER,

At recent meeting Of the city council
of st. Peter the proposition of the Con-
sumers' Power Company of Mankato
was finally turned down. The company
had quoted rate of 2 cents per klowatt
hour which appealed to the council and
tentative acceptance had been given.
When it came to drawing up contract
it developed that the company would
refuse to assume the responsibility for
its pole line inside the city limits and
that it would not give direct connection
at Kasota. For these and, other reasons
the council broke off negotiations with
the Consumers Power Co. and will
consider the installation of 100
Kilowatt engine and turbine pump
for $1,000, to which is coupled a glaran-
tee backed by bond that they will put
the current on at the switchboard at a
cost of 2 cents per kilowatt or less.

TWO RUNAWAYS SATURDAY.

Christ Roland, a we'll known farmer
of the Town of Lake Hanska, figured
in near runaway on Minnesota Street
last Saturday afternoon. While driving
up street about 4:30 near the Dakota
House, his team of horses became scared
and made dash to get away. One of
the laboring men on the street tried to
stop the team and caught hold of the
more fractious one of the horses and was
dragged a whole block before he let go.
He escaped unhurt. One of the straps
on the neck yoke broke, causing the
tongue to fall to the ground and the
evener broke when they had gone about
two blocks. The horses then jumped
upon the sidewalk and were stopped.
Outside a genuine scare, Mr.. Roland
escaped without scratch. The buggy
was slightly damaged and was left in the
city to be repaired. Mr.. Roland
borrowed buggy and drove home and
came hack B4onday for his own.
Another case of frightened horses
stirred up considerable excitement an
hour or two later on First North Street.
A load of lumber was being taken home
by farmer and going down the hill by
German Park for some unknown reason
the horses bolted. Perhaps the man
driving struck the horses or the load
crowded them or the cause may have
been something different, but at any
rate they tore down the hill and across
the tracks at a dangerous speed, scatter
, ing other teams and pedestrians right
and left. Two men and woman with
small child were in the wagon and were
keeping their seats with difficulty. The
driver seemed to be able to control the
animals sufficiently to keep them to the
road tho they took the curves without
any slackening. One Of the men lost
his hat and when last seen the team was
galloping across the bridge but showed
| signs Of lessening their pace while the
driver was urging them on, probably as a
method of taking the run all out of them.

Fatal Accident
On New Bridge
JOHN TAUER, SON OF FORMER
POLICEMAN HERE INSTSNTLY
KILLED.
WORKMAN ALSO BAD
LY INJURED BY LOOSENED
TIMBERS.

John Tauer, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph Tauer of Springfield formerly OF
this city, was instantly killed Saturday
morning at o'clock about Z miles from
Glencoe, MINI. He was in the employ
of the Adams Bridge Company of Mime
apolis which had just completed bridge
at that place. The workmen were
starting to take down the scaffolding
when the fatal accident happened.
Young Tauer and another man were
sent up by the foreman to take down
the scaffold and had orders to knock out
a certain pin which they did. The
timber which was held in place by the
pin, instead of swinging out as it was
expected to do, swung the other way
and caught the boy between the moving
timber and a stationary one. The
timber struck him on the neck, breaking
it and his young life was snuffed out
instantly.
The other worker who was with him
was caught by the timbers just below the
shoulders and was severely crushed.
He is now in a dangerous condition in the
Glencoe hospital.
Mr.. Tauer received word of his sons s
death at 10 o'clock Saturday morning
and he Immediately came to New Ulm
with an auto. In company with under
taker Emil Buenger he drove to Glencoe
in the afternoon and returned with the
remains the same evening. The boy
had been expecting a visit from his
parents Sunday and had ordered dinner
for them at the hotel and was looking
forward with pleasure to talk with his
father and mother, anticipations that
