DEATH RESULTS FROM ACCIDENT


Joseph Kruger, young man whose
hand was injured in corn shelter, died
at the hospital at Springfield Thursday
morning. Blood poisoning and lock-
jaw developed which caused his death.
The accident occurred couple of weeks
ago and at that time no serious conse-
quences were feared. About ten days
ago lockjaw developed and death
followed.
Deceased was son of Mrs. Mathilda
Kruger of Springfield. He was a
single man % years old and made his
home in Mahnomen County where
he had a farm. This fall he came to
spend the winter with his relatives and
was helping his brother, Rudolph, shell
corn at the time of the accident. He
was an industrious and honest young
man whose early death is mourned by
his mother and five brothers and three
sisters. Funeral services were con

First City Celebration
OF The Christmas Tide

What if the weather was bitingly cold
and fingers tingled and feet ached under
the too strenuous attentions of Jack
Frost, there is no one to say that the
First Municipal Christmas Tree was
was not success. There is not the
slightest reason to doubt that many
things could have been done differently,
but there must always be a first time
and if everything had been just exactly
as it: could have been wished for where
would be the pleasure in looking forward
to any more such municipal doings?
No doubt the next time things can be
SO that there will not be much
endurance of cold weather even if the
weather man is in a chilly mood, but
looked at, in the right spirit, the real
Christmas Spirit. the celebration held
last Wednesday evening was very
pleasant and the slight discomforts
should all be forgotten by now in the
memory Of the good it did to get people
out into the fresh pure air, bringing
them close together under the one in
fuence.
1t was barely six thirty in the evening
when the streets became lively with the
passing of many people vending their
way to the corner of Minnesota and
First North Streets where the beautiful
tree stood in all its bravery of lights and

]! Milling. Company { n!
Suffers Fire Loss
ECHO MILL ELEVATOR BURNS TO
GROUND DAY BEFORE
CHRISTMAS.
TEN THOUSAND BUSHELS OF
GRAIN IN THE RUINED
BUILDING.

A fire, which for time endangered
the Echo mill, destroyed one of the
company's elevators December 24th
between five and six o'clock in the after
noon. The elevator is a total loss altho
there may be a little salvage in the 5000
bushels of corn and $500 bushels Of
oats that were in the elevator when it
went up in smoke. The cause of the
fire is not definitely known but it is
believed that it was caused by an over
heated stove in the engine room.
4, The fire was first noticed about five
o'clock and an hour later there was
nothing but mass of ruins to mark the
spot where the elevator had once stood.
What made things look trifle dangerous
for while was the lack of water. There
was no water to extinguish the flames
that were reaching out in every direction
and it looked as tho the mill which was
only $50 feet away might catch fire
also, especially as there were several
smaller buildings in the area between
the mill and the burning building. These
were Immediately torn down and re-
moved and by doing this the flames were
confined to the elevator. Corn cribs
and coal sheds near the elevator also
escaped destruction. The flames from
the burning elevator sometimes shot 500
feet into the air.
The grain is completely covered by
insurance but on the elevator the mill
ing company will sustain a loss. 1t
was worth fully $4,000 and there was
only $250O insurance on it, The ele-
vator was purchased some years ago
by the milling company and moved
near their mill plant.
What makes this fire of especial
interest to New Ulm people is the fact
that the mill property is owned by
former New Ulmites and Mrs. George
Schmidt has an interest in it also. Paul
Voss and Albert F. Koch are the main
stockholders. At the time of the fire
Mr.. Koch was in New Ulm, having
arrived here on the afternoon NJ. & st
L. to spend Christmas with his folks.
Shortly before six o'clock he was called
up by telephone and informed that the
elevator and contents had burned to the
ground. He Immediately decided to
return to Echo the next morning but
he was told later in the evening that he
might just as well spend Christmas at
home, because he couldn't do anything
anyway on that day and so he stayed
over until Saturday morning. The corn
and oats are still smoldering and a man
is on duty day and night to watch the
the ruins to prevent any further out
breaks of fire. 1t is expected that it
will take fully week before the fire will
have completely died out.

SCANDINAVIANS MAY BE FORCED
g.a INTO WAR.

Thor. Snilsberg, assistant cashier of
the Brown County Bank is in receipt
Of a letter from his brother Harold in
which the prediction is made that
Sweden will be at war with Russia
within a month. The letter is dated
December 7th In it the writer states
that a brother engineer who just returned
from an extended visit in Finland
vouchsafes the information that the
Russians are building railroad about
S to 600 miles long toward point called
Torni on the boundary between Sweden
and Russia which is to connect with
the Swedish railroad at this point. The
plans for the railroad were completed
in a fortnight and the Russians ex-
pected to have it completed for use
within two weeks. It is an air line
from some point in Russia and is being
built across frozen rivers and lakes
without the use of bridges which makes it
quite apparent that it is to be made use
of in the near future. The Russians did
not plan this railroad until Sweden
refused their permission to make use
of the railroad going thru the northern
part of Sweden which connects with
the Norwegian railroad called the Mar
vik road. The fact that the monarchs
Of Sweden, Norway and Denmark had.
circumference recently in which they de-
cided to stand together may have been
prompted by the hostile acts Of Russia.
1t would seem now as tho any further
hostile acts on the part of Russia would
force the Scandinavian countries to
take sides with Germany and Austro-
HUNGARY.

YOUNG LAD BADLY INJURED.

Herman Renner, 11-year-old son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. John Renner of Selma,
met with a terrible accident Monday.
His brother had started the gasoline
engine for the purpose of pumping
water, and had LETT the engine to look
after other work, while Herman re-
NAMED. Screams from the vicinity
Of the engine caused him to hurriedly
investigate, and he found that his brother
had gotten into serious mixup with
the engine. In some manner the young
lad had caught his mitten on the key
of the crank shaft, and his hand and arm
had been twisted around the rapidly
revolving shaft. .+>
DR.. Heron was hurriedly called
and found on examination that all
three bones of his right arm had been
broken, and that the thumb of his right
hand had been torn off.
1t is certainly sad case and ought
to impress all with the importance of
keeping small children away from ma
chinery when it is in motion. Comfrey

ST. PETER BLIND P1GGERs UP.

After trial which lasted the greater
part of three days Andrew Kopp was
found guilty of conducting an unlicensed
drinking place and was sentenced to
pay fine Of SIS. His bar and fixtures,
which were seized when his place of
business on Third street was raided by
the county and city authorities early
in the evening of December 5th, will be
sold and the proceeds turned into the
county school fund, as provided by law.
The second of the liquor cases, that
against VIM. Coleman, came up be-
fore Justice Osborne Monday after
noon. Mr.. Coleman had been arraigned
on complaint of Burton Sells of St..
Paul, who testified that he was detective
and had been employed by the ST..
Peter Reform League to obtain evidence
for use in prosecuting cases of this
character.
Sells asserted that he went into
the Hotel Nicollet on Sept. 7th and
bought a glass Of whiskey from Cole
man. He was able, he said, to pour
the liquor into bottle, and subsequently
had it analyzed by a chemist employed
by the state dairy and food commission.
The chemist testified that the liquor
given to him by the complaining wit
ness contained AZ per cent of alcohol.
No evidence was introduced to cor
roborate the testimony of Sells as
to the manner in which he obtained
the liquor, and Coleman fatty denied
having sold it to him. Thereupon the
justice dismissed the case, he hold
ing that there was insufficient evidence
to warrant him in binding Coleman
over to await the action of the grand
jury.
-Four cases remain to be tried. That
against VIM. Edmons is set for Monday,
Dec. 28th, and the dates for the Others
are as follows: Claus Umland, Dec.
Both; Conrad Vogt, Dec. 31st and Frank
Tolan, the latter accused of bootlegging,

colors. BY seven o'clock, the hour set
for the opening of the program Mime
sofa Street was black with people fol
several blocks and the Christmas Tree
was surrounded with a densely packed
mass Of humanity. A cold wind swept
up the street and kept the individuals
moving so that the mass resembled a
swarm Of bees and some little impatience
was expressed because of the delay in
beginning the program of the evening.
A chorus of 'Oh's" and "Ah's' greeted
the flashing lights as they cleaned out
among the branches, green and red,
yellow and blue, crowned at the top by
circle of such brilliant lights that they
paled the street globes into ghostly
images. When the photographers came
with their cameras to secure picture of
the tree for the various newspapers they
found that this immense circle of light
was SO bright that it really rendered their
task almost impossible. In the picture
accompanying this sketch this ring OF
light appears only as great blur but
it was very handsome as it appeared on
the street. "A word of commendation
is due to the city electricians who spent
an exceedingly cold and uncomfortable
day in arranging the lights on the tree.
The weather was extremely cold and the
men found their fingers stiffening after
working but few minutes. This made
it impossible to accomplish all that they
had desired to do but the effect was very
pretty in spite of this handicap.
Others who had a cold job were the
musicians and there is little doubt that
many Of the band boys wished themselves
almost anywhere but up on their plat
form as the cold wind nipped at them
while they poured forth the music that
did so much to make the occasion more
pleasant. The chorus Of voices did well
but should have been higher above the
people so that all might have enjoyed
their carols. Mr.. F. w. johnson and
Mayor q: A. Fritsche both gave very
excellent talks on the beauty Of the
occasion and the happiness we in New
Ulm should feel that we are so fortunate
sly situated here that we can have and
enjoy such pleasures as that afforded
by the city for its people. If the
weather had been Better suited to open
air festivities the speeches would have
been greeted with the enthusiasm they
deserved. Following their talks there
was more music and then Sanity Claus

NEW FARMERS AND MERCHANTS
STATE BANK BEGINS
OPERATIONS.
INTERIOR FINISH OF ROOMS
NOT YET COMPLETED BUT
WILL BE SOON.

Monday, December 18th. saw busy
set of men in the new bank building
Of the Farmers & Merchants State Bank
for the date Of opening for business
had been set for that day and the work.
men still held full sway with scarce
room to pass among them. Cashier
Arthur Boock and Assistant Cashier
Albert Manderfeld were not in the least
dismayed however for they had de-
termined to be ready for business and
a strong determination can accomplish
wonders. They rose in the cold gray
morning, long before dawn and made
their way to the bank with several
! workmen to assist them and started
in on the task Of clearing the banking
rooms Of the workingman's tools, lumber,
and the debris of the building operations.
Hard, steady plugging enabled them to
clear path thru the room from one
end to the other and at o'clock the
first of the new banks patrons were
admitted to the place. The first to
come. were by no means the last and a
very good days business was done,
leaving Mr.. Boock and Mr.. Manderfeld
feeling that it had paid them to make
the extra effort to be open on time.
The exterior of the new building was
fully described in a recent issue of the
Review. The work has so far progressed
at the present time that the finished
appearance of the interior may now be
! imagined where not actually in evidence.
sssssEverything is Of the very plainest in
r dssign with absolutely no fancy frills.
The directors of the new institution do
not believe in making a great show of
fancy dress until after they have been
in business long enuf to warrant such
display and there is nothing in the
ornamentation OF the rooms to suggest
any lavish expenditure of funds. This
does not mean that there is anything
shabby or cheap about the furnishings
for it all gives the appearance of good
material used to produce the necessary
results.
There is an abundance of light in the
banking rooms owing to the large
windows that extend across the front
and along the entire south wall. The
artificial lighting is the indirect system
of lights thrown onto the ceiling and re-
hected downward. The walls are a
light buff in tone with ceiling of light
cream tint. The only ornamentation
is a stencil in a deeper buff tint as
border around the upper part of the
walls. The flat colors are used thruout.
The wood work is of oak in plain, dark,
mission finish with no unnecessary
carvings and the grill work is without
single scroll to vary it's appearance of
Utility. 1t is made of oxydized copper.
There are no cages for the teller and
receiver altho the floor space will permit
Of their being installed later if found
essential.
At the right on entering the building
is private consultation room for
customers. Next comes the Cashiers
room and back of that is the banking
room and working space. The lobby
extends along the left hand side of the
building and at the end are located
