EUROPEAN VISITOR
GLAD TO GET BACK
A. w. BERGSTROM OF LAFAYETTE
FINDS WARS HORRORS TOO
DREADFUL.
RECEIVED NO WORD FROM HIS
HOME DURING THREE
MONTHS STAY.

A. w. Bergstrom of Lafayette returned
Monday from trip he made to Scan
dinavia and found himself very happy
to be back safe and sound. Mr.. Berg
strom says that if he had known what
the European war meant he doubts very
much whether he would have found the
courage to undertake the trip. It was
the first time in Al years that he had been
back to his native land and he felt that
he must 60 last April. He took passage
on the Observation-Disclosures liner,
Frederick WIZ, sailing under the
Danish flag. The trip was full of ex-
element. Repeatedly the ship was
stopped and forced to show it's right to
proceed. A shot was fired across the
bow one time as signal to halt one
night when the passengers were just
preparing for their nights rest. They
we're examined by British searchers and
several parties were taken from the ship
at Kirkwall, England and detained there.
Two of them were women who were
accused of being spies. The Frederick
VIII was obliged to stay in the Kirkwall
harbor for two days before they were
allowed to proceed. In all the going
voyage took twelve days.
The real horrors of war became ap-
parent when the ship reached the North
Sea. There the water was full of floating
mines and the dead bodies of victims are
so numerous that the mackerel trade of
Scandinavian has been ruined, people re-
fusing to use the fish which are frequently
brought up by the fishermen with dead
bodies of human beings in the nets. One
could almost smell the powder, Mr..
Bergstrom said, SO near did the conflict
seem in Scandinavia as compared with
what we in America know of it.
He visited Christiania, Norway and
also in parts of Sweden. He found many
of his old time friends gone, of course,
but those he met compensated him for
the perilous voyage that he took to see
them. He says that everything in the
old home has much improved since he
left there nearly half century ago.
In all the three months he was away,
not one letter did Mr.. Bergstrom receive
from home. All the mail was then being
seized by England and he told of seeing
great quantities of packages taken from
the ships for examination in English
harbors. He did not know until his re-
turn of the little baby which had come to
live at the home of his adopted daughter,
Mrs. Alton Quist of Brighton, and in
fact, knew absolutely nothing of what
his home people were about altho they
wrote him frequently.
Mrs. Bergstrom met her husband in
Chicago on his return and they were
happily on their way to their peaceful
home, far from the alarms of war that
had separated them so completely. for
weeks.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
READY FOR CROWD
HAVE SECURED SEVERAL FINE
ATTRACTIONS TO AMUsE
VISITORS.
CHANGES MADE IN PREMIUMS
.,. OFFERED FOR HORSES
AND CATTLE.

The stage is set and the actors ready
for the big annual event at the Brown
County Agricultural Association grounds.
In other words, the program has been
arranged for the fair and the premium
lists will be issued this week to all the
farmers tributary to New Ulm and in
other parts of the county. The lists
are being printed at the New Ulm
Review office and in another column of
the paper appears a list of the premiums
to be offered this year. A number of
changes have been made in the list,
particularly with regard to the prizes
offered for horses which have been in
creased this year to include grade horses
as we'll as thoroughbreds. Heretofore no
prizes have been provided for grade
animals and this has been changed since
there are number of farmers who own
particularly good animals of the grade
class and who have not, heretofore had
any opportunity to compete for prizes,
which was hardly right considering that
grade animals perform large share of
the work of the farms in Brown County.
Secretary Engelbert has also provided
for the other attractions of the Fair by
closing contracts with several companies
for the free exhibitions always provided
at the afternoon performances and in
addition big fve-act tented attraction
has been secured. The Fair Association
has put up several hundred dollars to
secure the various attractions and at the
prices to be paid, the acts should sur
pass anything heretofore offered.
The tent attraction consists of vaude-
vile in five acts. There is singing and
dancing sister team, comedy and
musical act, blackface act, a; fourAdog
act in which number of Pomeranians
will appear, and novelty dancing act.
The company are on,a circuit of their
own and will come here from the Brook
ings, S. D. fair.
The free acts which cost so much
money this year consist of team of
casters, 4 men who perform incredible
feats in trapeze work. They claim to
have stunts of twisting double somer-
saults, looping the loop and other SEN
sational juggling of the human body
which no other troupe has on its bill.
The other artists will be 'Violet and
Charles, with two aerial acts intro
ducing comedy acrobatics, balancing,
contortion and tumbling.
-Four races have been arranged as
usual consisting of 2:15 pace and 2:4O
trot and 2:35 pace and 2:23 trot. A
purse of 100000 has been hung up for
each race and the money will be divided
so, rs, Is and 10 per cent. The entries
for the races will close August 21st at
II o'clock P. M. according to the speed
programs which have just been circulated.
The growing season has forced along
many of the crops in this vicinity and it
is expected that some unusual specimens
of vegetables and fruits will be shown.
The fair comes again the last days of the
week instead of the first as was the case
last year and the dates are Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, August 31st,

PRISONER ARGUES OWN
CASE BEFORE THE JURY

For the first time in years that a
prisoner has asserted his privilege Of
addressing the jury in his own behalf,
Charles Duke, Italian contractor
charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses, just before noon to-
day made a personal plea He had
previously testified that he had stud
led three years for the priesthoodand
he spoke to the jurors with much
earnestness. The case went to the
jury at 1:45 this afternoon and at 2:45
a verdict Of guilty with a recommen-
dation for mercy was returned.
The state put in evidence this NOR
ming six different no-fund checks
which the defendant had issued last
September 1t was the contention Of
the district attorney that, at the time
Of issuing these checks. he knew he
had not money enough in the bank
TO care for them and evidence to this
effect was introduced. Moreover,
one witness testified that Duke sold
his concrete equipment on the day be-
fore he left PendletOn for Portland
and San Francisco.
Duke, while not denying having
written the checks. declared he had
no intention of defrauding anyone. In
his statement to the jury he declared
that had he been wanting to cheat
anyone, he would have left when he
was owing several hundreds of dol
lars. He offered to make good the
checks il he were liberated. His at
torney. w NJ. Peterson, pleaded with
the jury to give the young man an
other chance, declaring he had been
drinking heavily when the checks
We're written and had no intention of
cheating anyone,
Duke was arrested in San Francis
CO where he is said to have gotten in
to similar trouble and was brought
back here by Sheriff Taylor early last
December.

situation

LONDON, Jan. l9.-The war
council Of the allies met unexpected
ly today. The air was full OF ru-
mors Of important developments in
the Balkans. Before the session be-
gan, an official statement dlscredited
the report the allies had sent an ul-
tlmatum TO Greece demanding the
immediate withdrawal OF the diplo-
mats Of the central powers Stimuli
taneously Rotterdam reported a rev.
olutlonary movement afoot in Greece
to establish Il republic. It was ru-
mored Venizelos would head the new
regime. King Constantine was said
to be in danger Of being deposed
shortly.
Several sources sent reports OF va
rIous landings Of allied forces in
Greece with stories indicating the
possibility Of an attack by the Teu-
tons in Salqpiki about to begin.
The first intimatiOn that the war
council had been called was the ar
rival Of Premier BRAND OF France
The session indicated matters OF
the greatest political and military i'm
portance were to be discussed, partic-
ularly because there has been no ses-
sion since December, when it was de-
cided to continue the Balkan cam
paign and land troops at Saloniki.
The Athens censor mas not passed
dispatches for three days This fact
is regarded as ominous in view Of re-
ported possible revolution, coupled
with a doubt that Constantine could
control the Greek army during the
crisis The censor passed a dispatch
to the Daily News saying Greece WAS
about to declare martial law.

However, a phone message to the

the supposition is that it has been

Waite

Because Of an ice jam in the Colum-
bia between Umatilla and Irrigon the
water in the river rose six feet on
Monday and though no damage was
inflicted the situation caused uneasi-
Eess and speculation as to what the
future held, in store.
The alarming feature Of the stu
alton is the fact there is another jam
in the river a short distance above
umatilla probably at the rapids. In
the event this jam should give way
first and thus let the water through
swiftly while the lower jam held fast
there would be danger Of a very swift
rise in the river with some damage
inevitable.
