Your arm and shoulder muscles

handle a heavy gun. If you are light
in weight you will probably want a
gun the size Of Carolines.
The gun must fit The first test
for size is to rest the butt Of the stock
in the crook Of the arm. holding the
gun straight up IN the air Then the
trigger finger OF your right arm (un-

BAD PLACES ON THE B & Y.

Editor Erickson of Springfield and his
family had narrow escape from serious
injury about four. miles west of New
Ulm on the Black and Yellow Trail when
they were on their way home from their
summer vacation trip. The heavy rain
of July 18th washed away the
bridge at the Arbes farm. This could
not be seen by the party in the auto
until they came coasting down the hill
and noticed a pile of sand in the roadway.
About to turn out for the obstruction
they discovered the missing bridge and
had barely time to turn back and run
the car into the sand pile. This Stacked
the speed of the car and prevented it
from going into the washout altho it
was narrow sque ak as the nose of the
car rubbed against the wing wall of the
bridge and pushed it over an inch or
more. The water at the place was IL
feet deep.

pected that this amount will quickly be

charges for the use of teams are constant

need for conveyance at the light plant.
Street work totaled 24O6 hours of
hand labor and 1923 hours of team work
during July, according to the report of

157 loads were weighed on the city scales

Various bills were audited and allowed
and the Frensel liquor license was trans
ferred to VIM. Reardon, the present pro-

BUILDING BOSSES
ENJOY Big OUTING
LUMBER MEN, CONTRACTORS
AND CARPENTERS PICNIC
TOGETHER. ..
AUTO TRIP, FISHING, BATHING
AND BASEBALL MAKE
HOURS FLY. ..

Nearly thirty of New Ulm's builders
and lumber dealers enjoyed two days
outing at Lake Jefferson during the past
week. There all business was put aside
and the men enjoyed themselves fishing
and bathing and everyone of them
declared the outing a success and an
nounced that they had no objections to
making another trip Under the same
conditions.
The party set out from this city on
Saturday morning when the hands of the
clock pointed to the hour Of nine. From
here the line consisting of eight cars
wended its way thru CORTLAND to
Nicollet where they stopped for several
minutes to talk with Nicollet friends.
From there the party went to St. Peter,
arriving there at 10:45. Here another
| stop was made and over an hour had
passed before the men again resumed
their journey. After riding DER hill and
! plain for nearly two hours the party
arrived at the lake and Immediately took
possession of the hotel at that place where
hearty meal was served them.
Fishing and bathing took up the after
noon hours and late in the afternoon the
party divided itself into two sides and a
game of indoor baseball was arranged,
men Of the light brigade being on one
side and the heavy weights on the other.
The game was very interesting as neither
side had at any time any great lead and
at the end of the fifth inning, with the
score tie SIS, the stomachs of the men
began to kick and feel empty and the
two teams wendell their way to the
supper table.
In the evening the "McCormacks'
and the "Carusos" got together and ere
long the sweet melodies of up-to-date
songs foated DER the lake. Late in the
evening the men wendell their way to
beds and slept until late the next morning.
Fishing and bathing was enjoyed by
most of the men during the forenoon and
early part of the afternoon and some OF
the horseshoe sharks" played several
game Of quoits. Late in the afternoon
the PARTY started out on it's return trip

GASOLINE GETS IN
ITS DEADLY WORK
NUMEROUS CASES OF WOMEN
BADLY BURNED WHILE
USING 1T. ..,......
FORMER NEW ULM RESIDENT
DIES AS A RESULT OF
INJURIES. .. ....

/ Papers of the past week are full Of
instances of housewives being burned in
their homes, the worst case recorded
being that of Mrs. Martin Lohrenz Of
Redwood Falls who died as result Of
her injuries the morning after she was
burned. Mrs. Lohrenz attempted tc
smother the flames which originated
from small kerosene stove in hel
kitchen.
The stove was placed on top of the
kitchen table and some towels we're
hanging on line above it. They caught
fire and Mrs. Lorenz seized them in hel
hands and attempted to smother them
against her dress. She ran out of the
house with them but her own clothing
became ignited and the unfortunate
woman was terribly burned about the
face and arms and her clothing was
practically burned off her body before
help came. Her daughter who was in
the house with her rushed to her mothers
aid but could not save her and was dread
fully burned herself. $3.50.
Mrs. Lohrenz was at one time a resi-
dent of New Ulm, having married Martin
Lohrenz here shortly after coming tc
America. Her maiden name was Fran.
ziska Fogelmann and her birthplace was
Neumark, Austria. She was fifty-three
years Of age. ....-
The funeral was held Thursday morn.
ing and those in attendance from New
Ulm were Mrs. Jos. P. Vogel, Franz Brey
Louis Brey, Wolfgang Hacker, Ant
Hacker and wife, Mrs. Alois Hacker, Mrs
John Herlick and Mrs. Hofmeister.
Another case of woman being burned
in a similar manner occurred at st
James Friday evening. Mrs. Huge
Stumm saved her own life by rushing
from the house when her clothing caught
fire and rolling in the grass. Mrs
Stumm had been trying to light a gaso.
line stove with wood alcohol and there
was an explosion. She was burned about
the hips and knees but her injuries are
not serious. "
A gasoline explosion was also the cause
of bad fire at St. James last week Thurs
day. J. P. Krone, proprietor Of. a
restaurant in that city lighted match
to start his gasoline stove and the next
moment the room was in flames. APP.
parently there had been a leak at work
during the night. Prompt work of the
fire department saved the block but Mr.
Krone is a heavy loser. He was badly
burned altho his life was not forfeit to the
gasoline fiend.
Wood alcohol caused the death of q
woman living near the Iowa line Monday
when she threw the alcohol on some ole
Goals in stove in trying to revive {
dying fire. She too was terribly burned
and died dreadful death.
Fires were reported from numerous
other places, caused in a variety of ways
but the explosions seem to lead the list
and once more call attention to the fact
that gasoline is a wickedly unsafe agent
