PUZZLE: WHERE IS
THE MISSING 500?
HERE'S A MAN WHO WOULD
LIKE THIS QUESTION
ANSWERED..
CIRCUS DAY BURGLAR LIKE
LYTO GET TERM AT
SALTWATER.

A badly puzzled man is Gerhard Me
mann. carpenter who IS employed on
the Tastel mansion houses which are
being built on the North Side this sum-
mer, for last Saturday evening MIR. Me
mann had one hundred dollars in good
money and now he has none and does
not know where it has has disappeared.
He thought he knew But when he tried
to put his hand on the party he was sure
had relieved him of his roll, he could not
identify the fellow and he is still puzzling
over the matter and the police and the
county attorney do not see how they can
help him to solve the riddle.
It seems that mr.. Niemann had been
employed in building house for Mrs.
KALI who lives on. North Broadway. On
Saturday evening she paid Niemann a
hundred dollars on the contract and he
says that he went home with it and later
he went down town to see the Saturday
night sights and taste the Saturday night
tastes of "a minnesota. Street dispensary.
While there he fell into company with
number of 'men>Who have been employed
in doing some of the street work for the
city lately and some of them accompanied
him on his wavering way home late in the
evening.
Right there the puzzle begins for from
that point Niemann's mind is very hazy-
The next morning he was quite convine-
ed that some of the fellows had "belted"
him over the head, knocking him down.
He doesn't know how he got home nor
does he seem. to know just when he miss
ed the money. He was still thinking
the next morning that he carried the
marks of the blow on his head and face
but the police stated that they could see
no evidence of rough usage.
When :Niemzann was taken to the
crew of workers to identify his assailsnt
if possible, he could not recall that he
knew any of them well enough to fasten
suspicion upon him with any certainty
and since it was not likely that the thief,
if there would have the money about
him, nothing further was done in the
matter, and Niemann is wishing it We're
all a bad dream and that he would wake
up and find that Mrs. KALI had newer
paid him the money. There is little hope
of that, however, since she says she
did so, and it looks as tho the case might
be one of the unsolved mysteries of New
Ulm.
The home of Isidore Gulden, 726 So.
German, was entered last Tuesday al
ternoon at three o'clock, by young man
who gives his name as J. George Pennier,
and a watch. a ring, camera and a razor
stolen. Pennier, who is a half breed
Indian, coming from British Columbia,
confessed his crime to Chief Klause.
Monday when brought before Justice
Buschers, Pennier waived examination
and was bound over to the Grand Jury
on the charge of Grand Larceny in the
second degree. Yesterday the County
Attorney expected to appear before the
District Judge and ask that Pennier be
allowed to change his plea to guilty and
be sentenced, Campbell will be held
for time but will probably be allowed
to 60 without any charges being pre-
ferred against him altho he is said to be
responsible for the disappearance of the
camera which was found in the Mime
sofa River.
The burglary was committed while the
family was away at the circus grounds.
Pennier entered the house through the
back door, opening it by means of but
ton hook. He claims that he was look
ing for something to eat, but the tempta-
ton seems to have exceeded his hunger,
and he appropriated the other articles
which brought him into trouble.
Identified by Red Mackinaw
The theft was not reported to the po-
lice station until the morning after it
was committed. Chief Klause immedi-
ately got busy looking for description
of the burglar. After several inquiries he
discovered that man had sold watch
which answered the description Of the
one missing at the Gulden home, to Jacob
Polta at Henry Seifert's saloon. The
price was $500. Leo Seifert, who had
r
been present at the transaction, remem-
bered that the man who sold the watch
wore red plaid Mackinaw. He gave
as his excuse for wishing to dispose Of
the watch, that he had drove of horses
outside the city, but rs he was in immed-
late need Of money, he had to sell the
