OVERALL SHIPMENT BURNS UP
AT ST. PETER.

Eighty dozen pairs of overalls manu-
featured by the New Ulm overall factory
went up in smoke Monday of last week
in St. Peter in a fire which destroyed a
box car and contents while standing on
a sidetrack near the Northwestern depot
in St. Peter.
The goods were shipment consigned
to the overall factory of Johnson & Co.
at St. Peter, of which the local concern
is branch. The car also contained a
shipment of brooms consigned to the
hospital for the insane and several pieces
of merchandise of lesser value.
According to Mr.. Lindemann, local
manager of the overall factory, the goods
shipped by him had value of approx
mately $1,000, all being first grade stuff.
The factory does not sustain any loss,
however, as the railroad company is re-
sponsible for the goods until delivered
to the consignee. The loss to the rail
road company, including the box car
which also was destroyed, will amount
to several thousand dollars.
Although the origin of the fire is I'm.
known it is believed to have been started
by tramps who sought shelter from the
rain and storm which prevailed at the
time of the fire. The fact that one of the
seals of the car was broken confirms the
suspicion.

INSANE PRISONER ESCAPES
FROM ASYLUM.

Local police officers were notified by
the St. Peter hospital authorities to be
on the lookout for an insane prisoner
of the institution who made his get
away some time Sunday night. The
prisoner is Patrick J. Gibbons, who in
1911 killed his wife and Rev. Walsh at
South St. Paul.
1t is believed by the authorities that
Gibbons had outside help aiding him in
the escape and the supposition is that
he made this way through a tunnel into
the main sewer and from the mouth of
the sewer was lifted to the Northwestern
bridge, which crosses the Minnesota
river near the institution.
Gibbons is described as short, thick
set man, weighing about 200 pounds.
He wears a mustache and has heavy
overhanging eyebrows. He wore dark
suit of clothes and tan shoes.

FIVE DISTRICTS WILL VOTE ON
CONSOLIDATION

Consolidation of five school districts,
three in Brown county and two in Cotton
wood county is planned by the residents
of the southwest part of the county and
a special election is called for June 3,
to be held in the village of Comfrey.
Plans for the consolidation are ap-
proved by the state superintendent of
education and the election will be con-
Quoted under the supervision of the
school suprintendents of Brown and
Cottonwood counties. The village of
Comfrey is practically in the center OF
the districts to be consolidated and the
plans are to erect a new modern high
school building in the village when the
consolidation is perfected. For the
present, however, the Comfrey school
building will be used. Only voters of
the four rural districts will be permitted
to vote at the election, as the law pro.
vides that the residents of the district
into which the others wish to be merged
have no voice in the matter. The dis
stricts to be consolidated are No. SO

county and Nos. "a and 60 in Cotton

THREATS MAY KEEP
WH0LBSALERSAWAY
ATTEMPTS TO LOCATE IN CITY
MEET WITH DETERMINED
OPPOSITION.
ORGANIZED EFFORT WILL BE
RMADE TO CURB INFLUENCE
OF OUTSIDERS.

That sinister influences are at work
in the Southern part of the state with
the avowed object of soaring away from
New Ulm, business men who are looking
for place to start up wholesale houses
is the firm belief of number of business
men of the city, who are of the opinion
that efforts are being made to discourage
the people who had planned to start a
wholesale grocery house in New Ulm
and have already gone so far as to take
an option on a lease of one of the store
buildings.
A representative of one of the whole
sale houses in a town not hundred
miles from New Ulm was in the city a
few weeks ago and open y boosted that
the wholesale house scheme would never
60 through in New Ulm as long as his
house was in the business. ''Why,
We'll start another house right here in
New Ulm and put them out of business, -
was the way he put it bluntly. OF
course this is only bluff, but it is said
to have worked in a number of other
instances and every effort will no doubt
be made to make it appear as the
genuine article. In this game of bluff
every available string is pulled by the
opposition. Railroad companies are
urged not to grant leases for the erection
of warehouses and fnanciers of the
Twin Cities are importuned to dis
courage probable investors from coming
to New Ulm.
The opposition of late has been get
ting so strong that the local business
men are seriously considering the with
drawal of their support from such
houses which seem to be in the ring
against establishing wholesale houses
in this city. Wholesalers, it is said,
have formed trade agreements whereby
one does not enter the territory of the
other without permission. The trade
agreement is, of course, secret and
verbal one, but that it exists is the firm
opinion Of local merchants.
While the New Ulm Commercial Club
has not taken any official action, it is
believed that the matter will be brought
to the attention of the members at the
next meeting and a ''back fire. started
that will give notice to the outside op-
position to keep their hands off New
Ulm and mind their own business.
