JDGE ROSS MAKES SHOWING
OF THE WORK DONE IN
HIS OFFICE

While Hotel de Julius may not be the
st popular of New Ulm hostelries,
it is quite generously patronized by
-- dents of the county and strangers in
midst. The place does not seem to
favorite with the women folks as a
)pping place as only one of the gentler
ex registered there for the entire year
f 1915 while there were 107 male guests
no spent considerable time with Sheriff
illus. OF these, three we're "left-
rs" from 1914 who for one reason or
Their chose to spend New Years Day
he county jail. This year there were
who for similar reasons elected to
main in their cells for the dawning of
New Year. In other words, there
re two more prisoners on hand in the
own County Bastile January LIST, 1916,
m there were January 1st, 1915.
That the patronage of the place is
wing is shown by comparison of the
orts of Sheriff Julius for 1914 and
5 for he entertained but Al guests in
former period and as stated above
re were 108 during 1915. Whereas
two went to the larger correctional
itutions of the state in 1914, there
six sentenced to the St. Cloud
rmatory and the state prison during
). Sixteen served out their sentences
ng 1915 as compared with six in
and fines were collected from 81
last year as compared with ID the
before. Four prisoners were adj
ed to bail, one of them being the
lie, which shows that she did not
any longer than she was obliged to
after she had registered. Four
discharged when no indictment was
I'd against them and Is were either
lifted or their cases nolle pressed,
y one prisoner was removed to the
pital for the insane. This leaves of
p. 108, nine who were prisoners from
otner counties or states who were taken
back to their respective home counties
for trial.
The male prisoners averaged nine days
iece in jail as there were 1O7 Of them

oners kept here at the time of the
