MAN KILLED AT coMFREY.

Word was received here Sunday that
brakeman of the Chicago-Northwestern
Railroad had lost his life at Comfrey the
night of the Fourth. Comfrey is not on
this division and only meagre details were
obtainable at the time of going to press.
1t is thought that the man was working on
a box car when in some way he was tum-
bled from the car onto the rails. Wheth-
er he lost his balance or was jolted off is
not known. Another car, probably one
he was intending to couple to the one he
was working on, ran over him and killed
him. A message was sent from Sanborn
to Winona and the news was learned here
in that way. DR.. Reineke, as County
Coroner was also appealed to as to what
should be done about the case but he was
out of town and had not taken any action
yesterday. No names or particulars were
given in the letter to the doctor except
that the man was dead and they wished
to know what steps to take in the matter.

G HID RUN OVER.

An accident which might easily have
resulted in serious, even fatal injuries,
occurred after the Park Concert last
Saturday evening. Had it not been for
the fact that Mr.. Hubert Berg who was
driving the car concerned in the accident,
was proceeding slowly, there is no doubt
that little Florence Goblirsch, daughter
Of Mrs. Bertha Goblirsch, would have
been terribly injured at the least.
AS Mrs. Goblirsch and her little
daughter were going home from the
Concert they were crossing Third North
Street. The little one ran ahead of her
mother who called after her and warned
her to beware of the automobiles. Hubert
Berg was driving along German Street
at the time and the girl got safely across
but her mother saw another car coming
and again called to the child and she
seemed to become frightened and turned
to run back to her mother. 1t was then
that she was struck by the Berg car and
thrown under the wheels, which passed
over the abdomen. She was hurried to
the hospital where it was ascertained that
no bones were broken and she suffered
no internal injuries. She is at present
out of danger.

JUNE WEATHER.

According to observer Alex L. Henle
Jupiter Pluvius, during the month of
June, was on the job for 81 days. There
are some people, however, who believe
that it rained oftener than that, because
there were only 2 clear days recorded
for the entire month Fifteen of them
were partly cloudy and the sun forgot
to shine at all on Is of them. The total
precipitation amounted to 1856 inches as
compared with 4.47 inches last June.
The temperature was some degrees cooler
than it was last year during the same
month the mean temperature being 3 l-2
degrees higher last June and the maxi
mum temperature being degrees
higher, June 4th of this year registering
80 degrees. There were thunderstorms
on the Sd, 4th, 5th, 9Th, 9Th, 10th, 18th,

NEW ULM, BROWN COUNTY MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY, JULY s

18th, 10Th, goth and 23d, two of them
the 9Th and 18th being accompanied by
hail. The prevailing wind was from the
south.
In view of the fact that the rainfall
was SO great during the past month, it
may be timely to show how great a
volume of water is indicated by one inch
of rainfall. An inch of water covering
an area of one acre would be volume
of water weighing 108 tons. If team
ster were given the task of hauling away
all the water that fell on the space of an
acre in a day when the total precipita-
ton amounted to one inch, it would take
him IL weeks to haul that water, pro-
vided he hauled ten loads of a ton each
every day, and working six days in the
week. When it is seen that more than
eight and a half inches fell in June some
idea is gained of the amount of water
that came down thru the month just
past.

OFF FOR SPARTA.

Those of our citizens who did not sleep
too soundly heard the strains of martial
music about five o'clock Monday morn
ing when the militia boys proceeded to
the depot headed by the Second Regi-
ment Band to entrain for Sparta, Wis.
for this years annual maneuvers of the
Second Regiment. AS usual the con-
tingent was large from New Ulm, Co.
"a" and the Machine Gun Co. going
besides the band. Col. Bushers, Adjt.
Vogel and Major Pfaender of the field
and staff left on the same train. The
Redwood Falls Co. joined our boys here
and went on the same section with them.
They were joined by the St. Peter,
Mankato and other companies farther
OF. A Dakota Regiment of militia
went thru here on special at 5 o'clock
enroute for Sparta, Wis. also. While
at Camp Mccoy the boys will see harder
service than they usually do while in
camp at Lake City. Most of the boys
made it possible to go Monday morning
and both Co. "a" and the Machine Gun
Company have goodly quota of men,
Sergt. Heinie Fast of the Non. Com
staff and Priv. Chaser of Co. CA

AN UNEXPECTED CELEBRATION

A display of fireworks not on the pro-
gram was pulled off at the Pioneer Drug
Store about o'clock on the morning of
the Fourth. Just how it all happened is
not definitely known. There were sever
al young boys around with burning punk
and before anyone in the store knew what
was going on some festooning caught fire
and some of the Roman Candles and 9TH
er fireworks got into full action. 1t
sounded like sham battle and in few
moments the place was densely filled
with smoke and it looked actually threat
ening for while. Dr.Weiser and Tom
Parish, travelling man, joined the drug
store force and with the aid of chemical
got the fire under control and stamped it
out before any appreciable damage was
done.

SERIOUS AUTO ACCIDENT.

Another automobile accident happened
last week that resulted rather more
seriously in that it smashed up new car
pretty badly. No one was hurt except
the driver, and his injuries consisted Of a
.lacerated hand which was caused by the
breaking of the wind shield. The
driver was Mr.. Jos. Schueller of Court
land and he was accompanied by several
persons, all of whom came within an
inch Of losing their lives.
Thursday evening Mr.. Schueller ac-
companied by his wife and two children
and the Misses Alma and Sophie Backer,
were driving across the bridge short
distance above the Eagle Mill. He was
attempting to roll up one Of the curtains
just as the auto started across the culvert
near the bridge. Apparently, in trying
to do two things at once, Mr.. Schuellel
misguided the car and it struck The

Burglars Make
Way Into Bank
ESSIC STATE BANK ENTERED
MONDAY NIGHT. VAULT
NOT TOUCHED.
RAILWAY STATION ALSO SUI.
FERS AT HANDS OF MAUI
RAIDERS.

s Whether they were just plain "ho-
boes" or were real yeggs who broke into
the bank at Essig Monday night is not
vet known. The work done by them
was not expert and if the same party or
parties did the damage that was com
mitted at the depot they were more than
likely "hoboes' or boys bent on mischief
quite as much as robbery. Their work
was very coarse and they secured but
$21.00 in money at the bank, no attempt
being made to gain access to the vault.
When the station agent opened the
depot at Essig Tuesday morning he
found that the window of his office had
been broken in and that desks and
drawers had been rifed. A large num-
Der of railway tickets were torn up and
scattered about the floor but no further
damage appeared there.
At the State Bank, Cashier Dahl found
that the thieves had entered the place
thru window in the vestibule by using
Jimmy. They, or he, had torn open
,sMdesks and drawers and in one found
= r. spocketbook containing $21.00 in money
which did not belong to the bank but had
been left there. The thief had been
unable to open the purse and had torn
it in pieces in order to get at the contents.
He had also taken couple of blank
checks, which, unfortunately, were
signed by Cashier Dahl. If he tries to
cash them in any sum he will doubtless
be apprehended in the act. He helped
himself to 80 calibre revolver and shells
: for it which also belonged to Mr.. Dahl
and collection of old coins worth about
$500 and which contained several
fCanada nickels.
Nothing more is known of the affair
except that there were twenty or more
hoboes in Essig Monday and the Cashier
and Mr.. Hage have description of a
suspicious character who was hanging
about. This party tried to pass some
Canada nickels at John C. Sieben-
brunner's saloon Tuesday morning and
from there left for the Northwestern
!. depot where he boarded freight train

almost going over the embankment at
that point. The car hung there, sus-
pended as by hair, and the occupants
got good scare. Several New Ulmites
helped to pull the car back into the road
and all expressed their wonder at the mir
aculous escape.
The car was damaged to the extent of a
broken fender, a front wheel entirely de-
molished, a smashed spring, frame bent,
and various other items that will cost
$3.50. to repair. Mr.. Schueller's hand re-
quired the attention of a physician also, las
it took several stitches to sew up the long
cash cut by the broken glass of the wind
shield.

SHOOT AT HUNTERS REST

The unexpected has happened. Chas.
Hauenstein, who has been a member of
the Hunters Club for the past 20 years
and more and has won the gold
medal scores of times, landed at the foot
of the procession at last Sundays shoot
at Hunters Rest. AS matter-of-fact
all of the erstwhile crack shots made poor
scores. "Bill" Pfeiffer won the gold
medal with score of 1872 and was given
a close chase for high honors by John
Hauenstein whom he defeated by only 2
points. Sepp is forgetting to put the

COMPENSATION LAW HOLDS


The workmens compensation act, a
product Of the last Legislature, was de-
clared to be valid by the supreme court
in an opinion handed down last Friday.
The court ruled that it does not trans
gress any constitutional limmitation.
The test of the law came from Mime
apolis, where Ole Matheson sued the Min
neapolis Street Railway. Company for
damages as the result of injury suffered
in a collision on Washington avenue. The
plaintiff, who was an employee of the city
while engaged in laying paving near the
Milwaukee viaduct, was struck by a
street car and suffered the amputation
of leg. Alleging that the injury was
caused by the negligence of the company,
he brought action.
The defendant, in it's answer, alleged
that the city including the defendant, had
accepted and were acting under the
workmen's compensation act, and that
tho plaintiffs rights were limited and
confined to the relief provided for in the
the law.
To this Matheson demurred, and APP
pealed from an order overruling the de-
murrer. He made the point that the
city and the company could not compel
him to accept relief under workmen's act.
In an appeal to the supreme court, he
attacked tho law aS class 1n0ic1atioy, !oyr1

Flight Spoiled
By A Collision
NEW ULM AMUSEMENT co.
MEETS WITH BAD LUCK
AT MANKATO.
AVIATOR AND MACHINE FALL
WINGS OF AEROPLANE
STRIKE AUTO.

Something like hard luck struck the
New Ulm Amusement Company at
Mankato when their bird-man, George
Carlstrom, met with an accident which
disabled his machine so that no flight
could be made. According to Mr.. E.
Hagen, Manager, an automobile was
allowed within the limits of the running
ground of the aeroplane and when Mr.
Carlstrom rose from the ground one of
theHWings of the craft struck the top of
the automobile and the craft was sent
hurting into fence and so badly
damaged that it was impossible to use
it and the fights had to be abandoned.
Mr.. Carlstrom gave fine exhibition
of flying at Wabasso on the Fourth,
weather conditions being fine and large
crowd coming to see the ascent. The
Amusement Company had contracted
for flights at Mankato Sunday afternoon
in connection with ball game arranged
by the Mankato association. There
were nine hundred paid admissions to
see the game and the flights and as the
Association had arranged that they
would refund one half the entrance fee
to all who retained their tickets in case
no flight should be made, there will
doubtless be considerable lessening of
financial returns thru the mishap.
According to the story told by the
Mankato Free Press, Mr.. Carlstrom
said that the roughness of the ground
also had considerable to do with causing
the accident. The Free Press lays the
trouble to misjudgment on the part of
1.-THE aviator who feared he would not
clear the automobile and attempted to
crowd his engine in order to rise quicker.
This killed the engine and caused the
machine to fall. The top on the auto
mobile saved the occupants from injury.
The damage to the flying machine is
said to be very heavy as it will require
weeks to repair it. The automobile was
damaged to the extent of $500. 1t
belonged to George C. Pettis, the Rapi-
dan buttermaker. No one was hurt,
altho at first it was feared that the
aviator had been crushed.
