ANOTHER DEFENDER OF
NEW ULM PASSES AWAY

Charles Bennett, aged II years, a
defender of New Ulm in the Indian
battles, in 1862, died at his home in
Mankato, last week, the funeral being
held on Friday. He was former
member of the state legislature and at
one time city treasurer of Mankato.
His death was caused by pneumonia
and acute indigestion.
MIR. Bennett was. born at Summers,
Wis.,, and located in Blue Earth county,
in 1856, when II years of age. His
father was the owner of mill at that
place, which he operated for several
years.
Mr.. Bennett served in the Indian
war of 1862 and was in the thick of the
fighting at New Ulm during the Indian
outbreaks here, in August of that year.
Later he was quartermaster sergeant
OF Company E, Second Minnesota
cavalry, and was present at the hanging
of thirty-eight Indians at Mankato.
After the close of the war he engaged in
various lines of business. Three daugh-
tiers and several grandchildren survive
him.

Minnesota is Close.

In the state Hughes was slightly in the
lead, but the final official count will be
necessary to determine the actual re-
suit. The state canvassing board does
not meet until November 20, but it has
been announced that the count as re-
ceived from the various county auditors
will be carefully tabulated so the public
will not have to wait until that time to
know the result.
The Hennepin county soldiers on the
border gave Hughes majority of so.
The entire soldiers vote gave Wilson
9O4 and Hughes S66, majority of
thirty-eight for Wilson. The First and
Second regiments gave Wilson majori-
ty OF only two. votes, but the Third, the
members of which reside mostly in St.
Louis county, came across with vote
of 1T for Wilson and al for Hughes,
giving the President the lead.
In the Electoral College, as the vote
indicates until the official count is taken
in all of the close states, gives President
Wilson 276, and Hughes 255. Should
the final count in Minnesota throw the
state to President Wilson he will have
288 in the Electoral College and Hughes
only 243.

NEW LUMBER AND COAL
YARDS FOR THIS CITY

New Ulm is to have new lumber and
coal yard. The Farmers Interstate Co.
Operative Company, which recently
purchased yard at Searles, will enter
the field here, handling all kinds of
lumber and coal.
A tract of land for site has been
purchased, deal for the old Zellner
place at the corner of Center and Ger
man streets, having been closed. The
site comprises three lots and an adj
ditional twenty feet, for which it is said
$4,000 was paid.
John Nagel, who is to manage the new
concern, says it was expected to have
the buildings completed by the first of
the year, but owing to weather con-
ditions the work would probably be
deferred until sometime in March
The buildings to be erected will be
both lumber and coal sheds and a
suitable office building. The company
will probably be ready for business early
next spring.

MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY:
$500 CASH is MISSING

A mysterious robbery occurred at the
home of Matt Peterson, sometime during
the night of Thursday, November g..
Mr.. Peterson conducts saloon at the
corner of Front and First North streets.
On closing his place Thursday evening,
according to the story he told Chief of
Police John Herzog, he gave a bag con-
tanning $3.50 to his step-daughter, Bar
bara Peterson, to take care of until morn
ing. This she placed in dresser drawer
in her bed room and retired. When she
awoke the next day, at about 10 a. m.
the money together with about $50, be-
longing her sister, Mrs. Edwards, was
missing, thieves having entered the room
while the young woman slept.
Part of the money was in checks, but
Mr.. Peterson is unable to say just how
much was bank paper and how much
currency. He notified the banks to stop
payment on the checks, but could not say
whom the checks were drawn to. They
had been cashed by him for Eagle Mill
employees.
It was not until $50 Friday evening
that he notified the police of the robbery
and they have been working on the case
ever since, but so far without result.
The thieves had too great start to
give the officers much of clue on which
to direct their efforts.

SATURDAY

Saturday of this week the local skat
players will stage a skat tournament at
Golden, having accepted the kind invita-
ton of Julius Krause, the Mayor of
Golden, to help him in his efforts to put
his bailiwick on the skat map. This invita-
ton was extended to the skat players
at their weekly tournament at Turner
Hall Monday evening and was enthusiast
.tically accepted. Fifteen Immediately
expressed their willingness to attend.
This means at least twenty-four will go
if the weather is at all propitious.
Some of the onkels will go by train, but
the most of them plan to travel by auto.
Those who desire to 60 by car should not
fail to make reservation with either Otto
Oswald or DR.. J. P. Graft at once so that
all can be Accommodated. Every one
anticipates royal time and if the live
wires Of Golden are in their usual form
the New Ulm contingent will be able to
put Saturday down as red letter day.
The attendance at Mondays tour
namenJ was the best this season. Skat
was played at seven tables. Theo.
Manderfeld won the first prize with 20
net games to his credit; Jos. Sondag the
second prize with 638 net points and
Herman Raabe made the unusual play
OF winning heart solo against five
matadores, thus winning the third prize.
There is still room in the local club and
any one who is friend Of the game and
desires to affiliate himself with the club
should make his wishes known to the
members without delay. The more the
merrier.

SOCIETY OBSERVES
SIXTIETH BIRTHDAY
or LOCAL TURNER'S
ORGANIZATION GATHER AT
...- BANQUET.
LADIES JOIN MEN FOLKS IN
CELEBRATION OF GALA
EVENT.

Saturday evening the New Ulm Turn
verein celebrated it's Goth anniversary
and the Ladies Society it's 9th ami
,versary. The function consisted of a
banquet with program of toasts and
music followed by a dance. The men,
bers of both societies met in the large
hall and at 1870 p. m. formed on for
grand march to the strains of the
Spinner orchestra and marched into
the small hall where the attractively
decorated banquet tables were waiting
for them.
Henry Engel, President of the Turn
verein babe all of them welcome and
expressed the hope that every one would
spend an enjoyable evening. Herman
Helm acted as POSTMASTER and members
of the Zoeglings class were pressed into
service as walters. The viands we're
excellent and the ladies in charge of the
preparation of the chicken and other
delicacies received more than one COM
pliment.
The musical part of the program con-
sisted partly of community singing,
three songs being sung by all those
present. Miss Henrietta Hauenstein de-
lighted the audience with a piano solo
and was called upon for an encore. The
ladies trio, Mrs. w. G. Alvin, Mrs. L.
G.. Bell and Mrs. Herman Helm, never
sang better than Saturday evening. They
also responded to an encore. The only
other musical number on the program
was piano duet by the Misses Frieda
Behnke and Aleen Setter who could not
be prevailed upon to play second
selection. Mrs. John Schapekahm re-
cited poem which proved so acceptable
that she was called upon again and yet
again. Her encores were decidedly hui
morous.
Mrs. Geo. Schmidt, President of the
Turner Frauenverein spoke briefly of the
activities and achievements of the
ladies' society within the past year and
as evidence of their activity presented
to the New Ulm Turnverein their savings
for the past year amounting to the sum
of $500. On behalf Of the Turner Society
the President thanked them for the
magnanimous gift and paid the members
of the Frauenverein we'll deserved
compliment for their untiring efforts on
behalf of the Turnverein.
Capt. Frank Burg, one of the veteran
members of the society spoke briefly
about the growth of New Ulm from
small beginnings to it's present size and
beauty, all the work being done by the
people of New Ulm without calling upon
the Rockefellers and Carnegies for as
sistance.

CITY REPRESENTED
AT FARGO MEETING
COUNCIL AUTHORIZES MAYOR
ITO SELECT DELEGATION OF
HIS OWN.
CONSIDERABLE BUSINESS is
" TRANSACTED AT REGULAR
MEETING.

~ Mayor Fritsche was authorized to
select such delegates to represent New
Ulm at the Joint drainage meeting of the
Northwestern states, Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, held at Fargo Mon
day and Tuesday Of this week, as he
desired, by the City Council, at it's
regular session last Wednesday night.
The mayor explained that he was going
to attend the conference at his own
expense, but felt that it was but Just that
the towns to be affected by the movement
should be we'll represented, and re-
quested the council to appoint one or
more gentlemen to accompany him. \
Assistant Fire Chiefs Appointed.
Considerable business was transacted
in the two hours session by the city
fathers, most of whom were pretty we'll
tired out from day and nights work
on the election boards the day before.
At the request of Chief Henry Engel,
Joseph F. Groebner was appointed first
Nassistant, and Fred Pfaender second
The Healy Plumbing & Heating Com
pany was allowed an estimate of $2,277.-
rs on it's contract for sewer and water
works construction, and $3.50 was
allowed on the contract of Held &
Haeberle for grading North State street.
The St. Paul concern requested an
extension of time for the completion of
it's contract for the construction of
sewer on Front street, which was to have
been finished today. The Healy COM
pany explained that additional machinery
was needed for the work; that the nature
ct che soil was such that hand digging,
especially with the present scarcity of
help it would be physical impossibility
to complete the job at the time specified
in the contract. The company said it
might be next spring before the neces-
sary machinery could be secured. The
council granted an extension, but no
time was specified as to how long the
extension would last.
Rhe Gem Theatre license was trans
Jared from Schreier Il Stohlmann to
Otto Zupfer, who will conduct that
amusement house in the future.
A bill of 81 ,872 for the construction of a
shed for storing the street working
machinery caused considerable discus
sion. 1t appears that haste was neces-
sary when the building was authorized
and the street committee was instructed
to proceed at once. After the building
had been completed it was found that it
had cost. considerably more than was ex-
pected, and some of the alderman thought
that for all work of that nature the
council should insist upon advertising for
bids and letting the work 60 through the
regular channel. After considerable dis
y cussion the bill was allowed
