SUPPOSED SILK THIEVES ARE IN
TOLLS

Mankato officials are of the opinion
that they have succeeded in arresting at
least a part of the gang OF silk thieves
who have been making life burden to
the dry goods merchants in this section
of the state for the last six months.
Two young men who gave the names
of A. S. Hall and A. C. Penland were
arrested by Sheriff Osten Of Mankato
last Tuesday evening. They had been
attempting to dispose of some silk
remnants by house to house canvass.
The two men gave rather conflicting
stories and it is claimed that one of them
admitted stealing silks at a store in
Wells. Hall claimed that he is a tailor
of ladies' suits and that he and his COM
panion were planning to take orders for
ladies' silk suits which were to be made
up later.
Owing to the fact that there have been
so many robberies of silks in this section
of the state recently, the officers are
suspicious. The men were held on a
charge of selling goods without license
and were given ten days in Jail. The
officers hope to have more evidence
against them by the time their sentence
is served so that they may be held on the
more serious charge of theft. A $4,000
theft of silks occurred at Brookings a
week or two ago and the Brookings
dealers came to Mankato in hopes of
identifying their goods. But the silk
in the possession of the men consisted
simply of remnants that the dealers
found it impossible to identify. The
fact that all marks that might indicate
| where the goods came from have been
removed from the samples is thot to
add more suspicion to the peddlars. The
Wells dealer has not yet put in an ap-
pearance to attempt to identify his
goods.
There seems to be general opinion
that the two men are connected with the
silk robberies that have been so numer-
Gus in this vicinity of late but it is very
hard to get any tangible proof against
them. No merchant can prove that q
remnant of silk such as these men carry
came from the goods stolen from his
stock.

OLD INDIAN FIGHTER VISITED
NEW ULM.

Luther Ives, one of the old pioneers
and prominent actor in the Indian
uprising of 1862 was visitor in New
Ulm Thursday and Friday of last week.
Mr.. Ives called at the Review office and
related some very interesting details
OF those stirring days and called our at
tention to several slight inaccuracies of
the account of the uprising that ap-
peared in the Review last week. It is
very hard to get all the details of such
an event straight even at the time it
happens. And there is more difficulty
in getting the story straight fifty-three
years after it has occurred. Two people
seeing an event at the same time fire.
quently give quite different versions of
the incident. This is due to the different
point of view and to the fact that an in
cident that might impress itself indel-
libby on one mind might pass unnoticed
by another that was more impressed
with some entirely different feature of
the event.
Mr.. Ives is in this section of the state
at present looking up some data of the
Indian outbreak for the Minnesota
Historical Association. He has done
considerable of this work in the past
as his broad knowledge of the history
OF the state, cleaned thru over fifty
years of watching the development OF
the North Star state puts him in a
position to give features of the states
history that few men could offer.

CITY SOCIETIES PICNIC.

About $50 men, women and children
of the New Ulm Turnverein spent an
enjoyable day at Herman Pfaender's
farm Sunday. This was the annual
outing Of the Turner'S. Usually the
Turner picnic IS held late in the fall, but
it was held earlier this year in honor Of
Friedrich Ludwig Jahn's birthday which
falls on August 18th. jain was the
father of the German system of gym
nastics which is the foundation Of. the
Turner Physical Culture work. The
greater number of picnickers started out
at 10 o'clock and had their dinner and
supper at the beautiful picnic grounds
on the elevation to the south and east
of the Pfaender home, an ideal picnic
place. Altho it was quite warm Sunday
nice cool breeze swept thru the grove
and kept everybody comfortable. Quite
few others arrived in the afternoon and
helped to spread the spirit Of good cheer.
Capt. Hofmeister with band Of six
pieces supplied the music and Prof. John
K. Neumann furnished very good
imitation Of Hawaiian native singing.
In the early part Of the afternoon the
younger men played several games Of
indoor baseball and later in the day q
most comical stunt was pulled of. This
was a pillow fight. Astride slippery
y. L ~
above the ground, the two complaints
belabored one another with pillows. It
was decidedly funny to watch the per-
Torrance. Some developed considerable
skill and science while others showed q
huge amount Of endurance. All were
agreed that It was hard work.
Shortly bsfore supper there was a
grand march which was followed by
calisthenic sxsfcises under command Of

and implored, but his trembling hands
were upon my throat First he
dragged me to my feet, then he threw
me upon my knees, and at last. with
that grim brutality which characterizes
him, he directed me to go and get a
mop and bucket from the forecastle
and remove the dark red stains from
the chair and deck This he actually
forced me to do. gloating over my hor-
TOR as removed for him the traces
OF his cowardly crime. Then, with
his hand upon my shoulder. he said:
Girl! Recollect that you keep to-
nights work secret If not. you shall
die a death more painful than that
dog has died-one in which you shall
experience all the tortures Of the
damned. Recollect, not a single word
or death! Now, go to your cabin,
and never pry into my affairs again
"A great sensation was caused when
the body was discovered The squad
ron was lying off Naples about week
after the Iris had left, and while we
were there the body was washed up
near Sorrento. At first but little no.
tice was taken Of it, but by the marks
on the dead mans linen it was discov-
cred that he was Polovstoff, one Of the
highest Russian officials who had, it
was said, been warned on several oc-
casions by the nihilists. 1t was, there
fore, concluded that his death had
been due to nihilist vengeance.
THE real reason why the baron
spared my life was because, II l died,
my fortune would pass to a distant
cousin living at Durham Yet his
manner towards me was now most
polite and pleasant change that I
felt BODIED no good. He intended to
obtain my money by marrying me to
his son Michael, whose evil reputa-
ton as a gambler was we'll known In
Petersburg. We travelled back to Fin
land in the autumn, and in the winter
he took me to stay with his sister in
Nice. Yet almost daily he referred
to that tragedy at Naples, and threat
ened me with death If ever uttered

when one uay the baron called me
suddenly and told me to prepare for a
journey. We were to cross to Stock
holm and thence to Hull, where the
Iris was awaiting us, for Mr.. Leith-
court and Muriel had invited us for a
summer cruise to the Greek islands.
We boarded the yacht much against
my will, yet was powerless, and dare

The port of Leghorn was our first

were towed of by italian torpedo

which had that day torn up. Then
Immediately after you had left Wood
rofie, Chatter and Macintosh went
ashore and were away couple Of
hours in the middle Of the night Just
before they returned the baron raped
at the door Of my cabin saying that
he must go ashore, and telling me to
dress and accompany him. He would
never allow me the luxury of maid,
fearing, I suppose, that she might
learn too much. In obedience rose
and dressed. and when went forth

and dressing bag, adding that he was
compelled to go north. as to continue
