the following clipping from a Wisconsin
paper Of recent date:
"There are four cooperative packing
plants in Wisconsin, one has been in
operation, another one is just ready to
start killing, and the other two are under
construction-New Richmond and Madi-
son-the capital having been practically
raised The object is toget enough local
packing plants to handle enough of the
live stock, so that the yards in the big
terminal centers will be all sold out every
night thus causing a steady market at
all times instead Of the fluctuating market
we now have. Only a short time, ago
nearly the whole country was under
quarantine on account of the hoof and
mouth disease, and the farmers sustained
loses several times greater than the four
packing plants in Wisconsin will cost
by reason ofhaving their stock ready for
shipment and no more feed to feed them
and no place to ship them, and our So
called farmer friend papers have not
advised the farmers how to remedy this
evil, but are afraid they might lose the

OUTSIDE B0WLBRS
WILL SCATTER PINS
NEW ULM TO HAVE FIRST TOUR
NAMENT HELD OUTSIDE
LARGE CITIES.
FOUR DAYS OF SPORT ARRANGED
:. FOR ON coNcoRDIA CLUB s.
ALLEYS.

Knights of Strikes and Spares will
have an opportunity to show their skill
on the alleys of the Concordia club in
this city the coming week, when the first
bowling tournament ever held in South
thern Minnesota will be inaugurated.
Invitations have been sent out by the
the local club to nearly twenty Southern
Minnesota towns and it is confidently
expected that nearly every town will
furnish at least one fve-man team.
These added to the five New Ulm teams
who already have signifed their inten-
ton of competing, will bring the num-
Der of contestants to upwards of a hum
dred. :.
P. W. Hackbarth, who has charge of
the entries for the tournament states
that an effort will be made during the
progress of the tournament to perfect
a permanent Southern Minnesota Or
ganization and to make the tournament
an annual affair, alternating between
the several cities of this section of the
state. While the larger cities of the
country are holding tournaments an
nually at which attractive prizes are
hung up for the contestants, the teams
of the smaller cities stand little or no
show to bring home the bacon, because
of the high skill of the semi professional
players of the large cities.
The tournament next week will be
held on the alleys of the Concordia club,
which were only recently opened at the
club house. There are four new and
up-to date regulation alleys in perfect
condition. The entries for the ANeue
will close on January 18th and the man
agement announces that the first match
game will be called on the afternoon of
Feb. 8. They will bowl both afternoon
and evening, leaving the alleys open in
the forenoon of each day for the conven-
fence of the contestants who wish to
practice.
The number and amount of the prizes
cannot be decided upon until all the en-
tries have been made, as the prizes will
be cash and equitably divided according
to the number of entries. The entry
fee for each event will be $3.50 for eacch
player.

SLEEPY EYE MILL
IN TROUBLE AGAIN
RECEIVER TO BE APPLIED FOR IN
HENNEP1N COUNTY DISTRICT
COURT.
SELLING OF FLOUR ON RISING
WHEAT MARKET SAID TO BE
CAUSE.

Selling something like 100000 barrels
of flour on rising wheat market is said
to have brought financial difficulties to
the. Sleepy Eye Milling company, with
head Offices at Minneapolis. 1t was re-
ported from Sleepy Eye last evening
that the appointment of receiver would
be applied for in the Hennepin county
courts in order to bring about settle
nemt and reorganization of the chilling
company.
The mill at Sleepy Eye was shut down
last Saturday and all the employees, with
the exception of the office force, laid off,
with notice that their services would not
be required for some time to come. The
mill is still buying wheat and selling flour
and probably will continue to do so, even
should receiver be appointed.
Wild rumors were circulated about the
financial straits OF the Sleepy Eye con-
Germ all last week, but it seemed that the
company would be able to tide over their
difficulties once mole. 1t was stated
that great many farmers had invested
heavily in milling company stock, but
this has been proven untrue, the story
no doubt originating in the fact that
numerous Sleepy Eye farmers have their
wheat stored at the mill elevator and will
be unable to realize it until the affairs of
the company have been more thoroughly
gone into.
A. C. Won Hagen and w. A. Anderson,
both of Minneapolis, are at the head of
the milling company, the Sleepy Eye
manager being A. w. Spehr.
The milling company has been in
trouble before, but several years ago
the present company was formed and it
was thought that the business had then
been placed upon firm basis. To the
unexpected advance in the price of wheat
may be laid the present difficulty,
rather than to poor management.

AGENTS SELL STOCK
FOR PACKING PLANT
OUTSIDERS STEALING A MARCH
'~* ON COMMERCIAL CLUB ''
49,, ''. .. s-N -
= COMMITTEE. .
LOCATION OF. PROPOSED PLANT
49, IS NOT REVEALED BY
% statesmen.

Business men, and members of the
local commercial club in particular are
looking with suspicion upon the efforts
of certain agents now at work in the
vicinity of the city among the farmers,
soliciting subscriptions for stock for a
packing plant. Although one of the
agents was cornered a few days ago by
one of the local business men and asked
where the proposed packing plant was to
be established, nothing definite could
be gained from him, except the statement
that the plant probably would be located
in some Southern Minnesota city, but
whether in New Ulm, Mankato or some
other town the agent would not state.
Members of. the Commercial Club are
of the opinion that an organized effort
is being made by some powerful interests
to- forestall the movement recently
started in this city for the building and
operation of a packing plant on the CO.
operative plan: Should the agents sue
coed in inducing any great number OF
farmers to subscribe for stock in their
scheme, it would no doubt have ten
dency to hinder the carrying out of the
plans of the Commercial Club COM
mittees.
The literature distributed by the
agents calls the attention of the farmers
to the successful operation of numerous
packing plants in Eastern Minnesota and
Wisconsin and if the same arguments
were used in connection with the pro-
posed New Ulm plant it would be very
effective with the farmers of the sur
rounding country. >,s.>'
It is pointed out that the greater part
of the price paid by the consumer is used
up in marketing the live stock before it
reaches the packing plant-local buyers
profits, railroa freight rates, terminal
charges, yardage, shrinkage, feeding,
commissions, and finally the packers
profits. The systems in vogue in Au-
stralia and New Zealand are quoted,
!pointing out that in the case of the forme
pointing out that in the case of the former
country, the government itself builds
cooperative packing plants for the
farmers and then turns them over to
them at cost. The New Zealand govern
nent acts as commission merchants fol
the farmers and furnishes cold storage at
cost.
An explanation of the activities of the
agents in this vicinity may be found in

H0LDUPS THREATEN
NIC0LLBl OPERATOR
TOUGHS ATTEMPT TO. FORCE
WAY INTO NIcoLLET RAIL
-: ROAD STATION.
OPERATOR USES WITS AND TELE.
PHONE CENTRAL SOUNDS
ALARM.

NlcOlleC village mad sensation one
cold morning last week, when the tele-
phone subscribers were aroused from
their slumbers about 8 o'clock, by the
ringing of the emergency call for help
and upon answering were informed by
central that the depot was being robbed.
Remembering the bank robbery of 1902
the male population of the village turned
out with loaded weapons and hurried to
the depot. A badly scared night opera
tor was the only evidence Of the visit
OF the nightly harauders, however, and
although thorough search was made of
the vicinity no trace of the robbers was
found.
The story told by Night Operator
Johnson to representative of the
Review is substantially as follows: He
went on duty about las in the morning
and had just completed train order,
when he noticed two tough looking
characters on the west end of the station
platform. Their appearance at that
unusual hour of the night aroused his
suspicious and he locked the door leading
to the Office. The window to the hall
way was open, however, and the two men
lounged near it for some time, before one
of them asked the operator to open the
door, saying they wanted to get nearer
to the stove. johnson refused and then
picked up the telephone to call central
for help. Here is where one of the men
began to unlimber his artillery and gave
the operator an opportunity to look
down into the business end of revolver,
with the command to leave the phone.
The operator, although badly scared
had his wits about him and told the
would-be hold-ups that his station was
being called at the key. They did not
object and he ''cut i'm on message by
the train dispatcher, told that official of
his plight, and asked him to have the
Nicollet telephone central called on the
long distance. This was done by way
of Kasota.
Something in the actions of the opera
tor must have aroused the suspicious of
the men, however, for they hastily left
the station and were gone several
minutes when the first of Nicollet's armed
citizens appeared on the scene. ..
There was heavy snowfall during the
night, obliterating any tracks made by
the visitors, but it is said that one set
of tracks led to camp several miles from
the village, but the campers deny know
ledge of strangers appearing in that
vicinity. 81. .... -.- ..
While some of the villagers are of the
belief that the visitors at the depot were
nothing but couple of DRINKS, return
ing from spree, either at CORTLAND or
New Ulm, the operator does not care
to have the experience repeated, al
though the men threatened to return at
some future and more opportune time.
: Since the bank robbery of dozen
years ago the Nicollet telephone office has
a regular emergency call, through which
every subscriber is called in cases of fire
and robbery or other instances requiring
the assistance of the citizens, and robbers
might do worse than to stay away from
that town. -sSs rsa-sa3zs@
