RED CROSS SUPPIEs MORE
SOLDIERS COMFORT BAGS

A message was received here on Friday
that the Red Cross chapter of St. Peter
was short of comfort bags to supply all
OF the members of Company K, and
asking if the New Ulm chapter would
provide them for the boys of Brown
count who are with the St. Peter
company. The local women responded
at once with the required number of
thirty bags. It was said that some of
the boys who failed to receive the bags
when the others did were somewhat
disappointed. The next evening at
roll call at O'Clock, they were each
presented with one. A comfort bag" !"
as it is called, is provided for every
soldier or sailor. Into the ones made
here are put two handkerchiefs, shoe
strings, a drinking cup, bag Of Durham
tobacco, tooth brush and powder, letter
tablet and envelopes, three postal cards,
pack Of playing cards, wash cloth and
cake Of soap and a small case containing
safety pins, needles, thimble, buttons,
thread, etc. These bags are much
appreciated by the soldiers and have
proved to be most useful to them.
Mrs. H. L. Beecher and her sons, Sher-
burn and james, drove to st. Peter to
take the bags. They were accompanied
by Mrs. F. w. johnson, Mrs. James
Garrow and Mrs. Geo. H. Miles. The
women provided a sufficient number for
the whole company, so the Brown county
boys Will share with the Others

At a meeting of retail meat dealers
at the Commercial club, Wednesday
afternoon preliminary steps were taken

The result of the conference was the

Meat Dealers association.

Butchers Given Pointers
G. A. Stolz, member of the Mime
sofa Retail Hardware Dealers associa-
tion, and F. H. Behnke of the State
Grocers' association, were invited to
address the meeting for the purpose
of giving the butchers pointers as to the
working out of their organizations and
the benefits derived from them. Mr..
Stolz said the Minnesota retail hardware
men were among the first in any of the
states to organize, and the association
of this state was known as the father
Of the organizations in that line. 1t had
been of great benefit in many ways.
The members had been given better
treatment by the jobbers and manu-
facturers, and it had been of untold
benefit to the owners of legitimate
hardware stores in protecting them
against irresponsible peddlers. This
feature is also of benefit to the public,
as most of the articles sold by that class
of dealers are of an inferior quality, made
to sell at lower prices than those offered
by the regular dealers, and seldom worth
the money. He told of many other
benefits derived, all Of which made a
favorable impression on the butchers
present. Mr.. Behnke told the meat

HARVEY WELLNER RUNS OVER
GIRL WHILE DRIVING TO
CITY.

A distressing accident occurred Mon.
day morning on North Third street, when
little Alice, the four-year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Werdan, was
struck by the car driven by Harvey
Wellner, young farmer of Lafayette
township. The child died two hours
later at the Loretto hospital, where she
was taken Immediately following the
accident.
Child is Struck by Car.
Mr.. Wellner and his father, Fred
Wellner, we're driving into the city, and
when near the Werdan home, block
or SO below the Boock greenhouse, they
observed number of children in the
street some distance ahead of the car.
AS they approached the children ran to
the side of the roadway. Little Alice,
however, appeared to have become be-
wildered and after going to .one side
turned and ran directly in front of the
car.
Mr.. Wellner said that he was going at
the rate of about ten miles an hour when
the accident happened, and his statement
was borne out by his father and other
witnesses.
Stopping his car he took the child to
the hospital, where she passed away
without regaining consciousness.
Inquest is Held.
DR.. Geo. F. Reineke, county coroner,
was promptly notified, and after con-
sultation with County Attorney Adolph
Frederickson, it was decided to hold an
inquest which was done at clock the
same afternoon, at the home of the
parents. The following jurors were
summoned: Carl Kuehlbach, A. S. Dorm,
Ed. Baer, Henry Schrader, Charles
Grussendorf and II. O. Schleuder.
A number of witnesses were summoned.
all of whose stories bore out the state
ments made by Mr.. Wellner, following
the accident. After hearing the testi-
mony the jury returned verdict to the
effect that death was caused by an
accident, and attaching blame to no one.
The accident was deplored not only
by the friends and neighbors Of the be-
reaved parents, but by Mr.. Wellner.
The funeral will be held this afternoon
from the Lutheran church, and burial
will be in the Lutheran cemetery.
Little Alice was an ptionally bright
child and a favorite in the neighborhood,
and by all who knew her.
