:'Fortschritt" and continued as the
editor and publisher of this paper until

Co. All in all, he was in the newspaper
work in one capacity, or another for
about so years. 20.

nearly go years. He was also one Of the
founders Of the New Ulm Jaeger Verein

was it due that the Town was named
after General Franz SigeL- He was the
Towns first Town Clerk and served as
County Commissioner for three years.
For great number of years he was City
Justice Of the city Of New Ulm and per-
formed the duties Of his office in a very
capable manner. In the early days he

his share toward furnishing pleasure
and entertainment for his fellow citizens.

the City Council at their regular meeting
held last Wednesday evening instead OF

few routine reports were read and bills
audited and the rest of the time was
given to the consideration of the appli-
cation of the Hagenback- Wallace shows
for permission to exhibit in New Ulm
and to the appointment of new city
engineer.
+ R. M. Harvey, advance manager of
the Observation-Disclosures shows had
written the Mayor asking leave to bring
the company here and had limited very
plainly that in view of the fact that the
shows always draw. large crowd from
the surrounding country, and also carry
so many people that merchants derive a
great deal of benefit they should be
given permission to exhibit. without a,
charge by the city. Ferdinand Crone
when consulted stated that the Fair
grounds would be at the disposal of the
show people any time after the Brown
County Fair is over. The question of
free license was then discussed, Mr..
Krook and Mr.. Hamann taking the
stand that a license of $50 should be
charged. When put to the vote: the
other members of the council voted
against this and the free license motion
was then; put. and carried. The show
company has been notified but no word
as to whether they will come has been
received. .-..::s..z ...:*..

Cars Taken from Gun Lake


Allegan.-The statement in the
newspapers of last week that state
authorities had taken 100 gar fish
from Gun lake told only ten per cent
of the whole truth. The number taken
was one thousand but there are per-
haps, $4,000 more in that big body Of
water. 1t is not known whether efforts
will be made to clear out the lake Of
these worthless and voracious fish,
but they should be. One of the. CARS
taken lacked but two inches of being
five feet in length These gars are
proportionately more numerous than
other fish, as compared with earlier
times, because the good fish have
been greatly decimated by continuous
and increasing fishing while the gars
have been practically unmolested. "A
gar destroys several times his weight
of good fish each year.
