AUTOMOBILES co AFTER
ST. PETER LAMP POSTS

- ~ sl- = & = So i
No less than three of the posts bearing
lights for st. Peters White Way"
have been demolished by ..tin Lizzies'
of that town and vicinity recently. A
week or two ago a Kasota man ran into
one with his car, and later went before
the council and requested that the posts
be painted white, that they might be
seen. Since then two more have been
run down by Fords and broken, while
another was run into, in which the car
came out second best in the skirmish.
The White Way lamp posts at St.
Peter are set in the center Of the principal
business street, and not on either side,
as is the case in New Ulm and most
other cities.

BRAVE DEFENDERS
FROM LEA YE :.
LUTHER IVES WRITES DETAILS.
OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF
COMPANY.
OVERSIGHT BY HISTORIANS IS
RESPONSIBLE FOR NoTBE1NG
MENTIONED.

Luther G.. Ives, who was one of the
brave defenders of New Ulm in the
Indian uprising days of 1862, and who
was one of the Leavenworth township
men who formed a company of soldiers,
has written to Adolph Nellie, enclosing
roster of that band of men. AS Mr..
Ives had previously written, the Leaven-
worth company has unfortunately been
left out of various histories of the up
rising, and he feels that it is only Just
that they should be recognized, even
at this late date. The fact that they
have escaped honorable mention, Mr..
Ives says, has not been caused by any
intention on the part of the writer's to
slight them, but it has just happened
that there was no one at hand to take
an interest in the matter.
Mr.. Ives gives the following account
of the organization of the company
and what it accomplished:
Company Is Organized.
The organization of the Leavenworth
company was begun late on the night of
August 18, 1862, by men of the town
ships Of Milford, Sigel and Leayenworth,
who had relatives OF friends they wished
to rescue from danger, They left for
New Ulm at about sunrise on the morn
ing Of August 19. When we were about
eight miles from New Ulm we rescued
four children, whose parents had been
murdered. Eight miles farther on we
found a Mr.. Ryan, who told us that
our people had gone to New Ulm by
another route than the one we were
following. At that place Mr.. Ryan
joined us, while John Jackson left us
and went up to his place, some three
miles away. He got back to us safely
within few days, but he had an awful
experience in getting there.
"Some time before reaching the town
our party divided our forces and reached
our destination by different routes. The
party was with went down thru the
towns Of Sigel and Milford, while the
others went thru the towns of Home
and Milford.
Five Of Party Killed.
Our party got to the top Of the hill
overlooking New Ulm, when we saw
about 100 Indians attacking the town.
We made a rush to 60 thru and five
of our number were killed. They were:
Armand D. Loonis, William Carroll,
/ George Lamb, Jan Thompson and
/, Thomas Ryan, Those who came thru
safely were: Robert Hinton, -- ----
Coan, Samuel McAulaff, Philip Kirby
and Luther c. Ives.
"The others came down the hill half
an hour later when Ralph Thomas was
the only one who escaped. Those killed
were: William Tuttle, Uri LOOMS, De
Witt Leman, Ole Olson, Tory Olson and
Nels Olson.
Company Re-Oragnized.

BERN, October 25-Probably at no
