More Bed Covering Needed

'I am badly in need of bed clothing. have only a couple and they are well worn quilts, and one of these must go on babys bed. It is bitterly cold in our rooms. Should you hear of anyone hay ing an extra cover she does not use, will you please give her my name, so she can remember me? ANNA B."
 Somebody will perhaps suggest tacking newspapers together and putting them between the thin old quilts. Personally, I am skeptical as to the warmth of even the driest of newspapers. l know it will be Christian deed to send to me for a mothers address and then to pack off to her by parcel post the faded but thick comfortables or shabby blankets you thrust out of sight upon the top shelf of closet before the bitter weather set in.

New Ulm review., 1915-11-03

Ulm last week that the robbers had been
caught and that Minneapolis house
was acting as the fence but merchants
here who were interested are keeping
a tight rein on the information they have
and refuse to divulge anything, saying
that one guess is as good as another.
The various burglaries that have
troubled merchants in this section have
run into thousands of dollars worth of
stolen goods. The Columbia Clothing
Store suffered to the extent of 5000,
April 9th, Friedl & Sons at Gibbon lost
$3.50 worth Of goods April 28th, the Bee
Hive here was relieved of more than
$500 on May 18th. July 18th the
thieves went to Springfield and entered
the Aftermath store and the same night
visited the Dietz Store at Sanborn,
getting away with several hundred
dollars worth Of stuff at Springfield and
about $100 worth at Sanborn. Blue
Earth merchants suffered next on Sep
tember 29th, losing nearly $4,000 and
Mankato was next in line where the
robbers got away with $500 dollars
worth Of furs. Then they swung back
to Springfield and entered the Metzinger
store October 18th, taking $500 worth
of suits and then to Morgan where the
Columbia people again suffered to a like
extent.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT
WITH LOADED GUN
YOUNG FARMER is SHOT BY
y
COMPANION AND LUNG is
PIERCED.
X-RAY EMPLOYED TO LOCATE
BULLET WHICH CANNOT BE
REMOVED.

Sunday might better be christened
and named ''Gunday" for it is on the
seventh day of the week that most of the
deadly work done by that contrivance of
Satan, the rifle, is accomplished. Last
week it was the pleasant duty of the
Review to tell OF a boy who lost part of
his foot thru the careless handling of a
shotgun. This week it is again task
to give the details of shooting accident
that occurred in this vicinity, which, tho
it will in all probability not result fatally,
is still very serious and might very easily
have meant sudden death to the man
who is the victim.
Sunday afternoon about 8 o'clock two
young farmers Of the town Of CORTLAND
were hunting together near the Redstone
quarries. One of them, Alfred Fiske,
was standing a distance of some ten
feet from his companion, young Reinarts,
a son of Frank Reinarts. The latter was
examining his gun which he thought was
not loaded. AS usual, when a gun is
supposed to be empty, the proper way
to examine it is to point it at some target,
preferably human being, and pull the
trigger. Reinarts followed this method
of procedure and found out quite de-
fnitely that he was mistaken. He had
barely remarked to Fiske that the gun
was not loaded when a cry from Fiske told
him that he had been poor judge.
The bullet entered Fiske's body just
below the shoulder blade on the right side
and pierced the right lung. Flowing it's
way downward, it lodged very near the
spinal column so low down that to reach
it is a matter of considerable difficulty.
The victim was brought to town and it
was found necessary to use the X-Ray
to locate the bullet.
At the present writing the young man
is in good condition. He seems to have
little or no fever and it is not believed
that the wound will prove serious altho
that can not be positively stated. He is
at the Union Hospital where he will have
to remain until danger from the wound
is past. NEXT!

who had safely survived the ordeal
Miss Frances Krook was in charge
OF the ceremonies. All the children
were seated in circle in the center
Of the room and their elders in another
circle about the walls. Miss Krook
sang some of the old favorite songs
and then invited the guests to Join
her in singing Aud Land Syne,"
meanwhiles arranging that all sshould
change seats and generally move about
to wear all stiffness off. Fortunes pre-
pared in advance by the witches were
furnished to the guests who were blind
folded in making their choice. These
fortunes furnished merriment when each
one was required to read his or her
fate. The tub Of water with the float
ing apple was brought in and Mr.
G. A. Zelle was the most expert archer.
Supper was served in cafeteria style.
All the guests proceeded to the dining
room where the viands labeled as
Witches Brew, "Tell's Marks" ""Jack-
o-Lanterns,' etc. were set out. The
first item on the menu proved to be
a very good quality of cider and the
Tells Marks were, of course, apples.
Popcorn, cookies and raisins added
to the list and all had chance to again
try their fortunes with the apple
parings.
The program was continued after
the hunger of the youngsters had been
satisfied. The witches made themselves
visible in their black robes and peaked
hats. They sang for the company
and gave a dance. When the little
ones had gone home the older people
gathered about the fireplace and told
circle story to which each was expected
to add portion. The evening proved
very pleasant for all.

BROTHERS REUNITED AFTER
THIRTY YEARS.

over thirty years and then to learn this
fall that he was living only $50 miles
from here, is the unusual experience of
Andrew Lind, Civil war veteran, of St..
Peter, says the Herald of that city.
Charles Lind left the old homestead
about thirty-two years ago, having
accepted position Oil railroad con-
struction work. Since that time word
had never been received from him and
as the years went by it was taken for
granted that he had passed away.
But last spring when Mr.. and Mrs. VIM.
Witty of Nicollet, went to Black River
Falls, Wis, to visit with sister of Mrs.
Witty, they learned that Charles Lind
lived in that city, carrying mail from the
depot to the town.
While waiting for their train at
Black River Falls. Mr.. and Mrs. Witty
became engaged in conversation with
Mr.. Lind and the latter told them that
he was born in Nicollet county also,
but had left many years ago and he be-
lieved that all his relations had since
died. When told his brother, Andrew,
still lived he was overjoyed. On their
return to Nicollet Mr.. and Mrs. Witty
notified Andrew Lind that his brother
was living only $50 miles from here.
About month ago Mr.. Lind went
to Black River Falls, Wis.,, to see with
his own eyes whether his brother was
really living. Getting off the train
at the depot he saw man loading mail
into wagon and was ready to drive off
when Mr.. Lind called to him. On
drawing closer he recognized his long
lost brother, Charles, and when he made
himself known to the other both were
overcome with emotion. It was, in
deed, happy moment for both, as
each had believed that the other had
long since passed away.
Andrew Lind visited three days at
the home of his brother. Many happy
hours the brothers spent together, re-
counting their experiences during the
third Of century since they last heard
from each other. But not all was
pleasure, because time had brought
sorrow to both their families. Their
parents had died and also sister. Charles
Lind had lost his wife, while several
children of Andrew Lind had answered
the final summons.
Andrew Lind is the elder of the two
brothers, he being SO years of age, while
Charles is So. Both brothers are hale
and hearty and enjoying life. The
former is veteran of the Civil war,
having enlisted in the Third Minnesota
infantry. For years he has been running
farm south of St. Peter, but last fall
he retired from active work and with his
family moved into town with the in
tention Of quietly enjoying the remaining
years of their lives.
