heard of none such in this vicinity, and
I might add that if there were any in this

something about it, and in addition
would have taken some pains to verify
the statement.
There is at Client, in Thu dnty,

heard that there are some such children
in that vicinity, who have been thus
mutilated, but so far as am concerned
this is only a matter of hear-say. l have
made some inquiries and have found no
one who has seen them. I shall make
further inquiries, and if it is possible for
me to spare few hours, / will go over
there and undertake to ascertain the
truth Of this allegation
Mr.. Retzlaff is convinced that there
is no truth to the story, and that Mr..
Parker has been misinformed relative
to the alleged mutilation Of children by
the German soldiers.

GAME WARDEN IS
UNWBLC0ME HERE
ST. PAUL OFFICIAL sWooPs
DOWN ON NEW ULM WITH
WARRANTS.
ONE SHIPPING FIRM ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH PLANS TO
SHIP.

Deputy Game Warden John w. Cen
terwall of st. Paul swooped down on
New Ulm a few days ago, and the coming
of Mr.. Centerwall has caused no end Of
trouble to sportsmen and others in this
city and vicinity. Mr.. Centerwall got
an idea, someway, that the game laws
in this neck Of the woods were being
violated. Il
Warrants are Issued.
Yesterday morning he swore out a
warrant, charging Stuebe Bros. with
having too many wild ducks IN their
possession, which he believed they intend
ed to ship away for sale, and give some
one else, outside of New Ulm chance
to eat a bit of wild duck. He is said
to have taken a peek into the firms
ice box. In his complaint against
Stuebe Brothers the game warden says
there were ''wilfully and wrongfully and
unlawfully stored in said ice box thirty
four game birds with intent to ship for
sale" In other words Mr.. Centerwall
says there were thirty-four wild ducks.
Through their attorney, ALI. w. Muell-
er, Stuebe Brothers waived preliminary
examination, and were bound over to
the December grand jury, by Justice
George Hogen, under bonds for $500,
which were promptly furnished.
Officers have number of other COM
plants, which were to have been served
yesterday afternoon. They refused to
make the names of any of the accused
parties public until the warrants had
been served.
Making Hunting Profitable.
It is claimed by many, including the
game warden's department, as we'll as
by many true sportsmen, that there are
number of hunters, here as we'll as
elsewhere, who are making hunting a
profitable business, and that unless a
stop has been put to it, by drastic means
or otherwise, it will be only short time
when there will be no more game in
this part of the state.
It is for this reason, the game warden
says, he is bound to make all hunters
obey the law.
A number of sportsmen in this neigh
borhoos have for some time advocated
law to prohibit killing game birds
in Minnesota for the next five years.

FIRE HYDRANT in
NIX up WITH AUTO
kAsoTA MANS CAR CUTS UP
SOME QUEER ANTICS ON
STREET HERE.
FAILS TO MIND THE STEERING
WHEEL AND DOES MUCH
DAMAGE.

Sunday morning E. ]. Kottke, a
prominent merchant of Kasota motored
over from that place in his handsome new
Buick seven passenger car after part
of the choir of StrP aul's Lutheran church
of this place, which was to take part in
the Reformation celebration at st. Pete,
on that day. Two other cars accom-.
panied him, Mr.. Kottke's car taking
the lead.
Travelling north on Minnesota street
when First South street was reached
MI. Kottke decided to turn up that
street. He slowed down his car to
make the turn, and was said to be
travelling at not more than five miles
an hour, but for some reason the steering
apparatus failed to work, and the cal
ran squarely into the fire hydrant on
the corner next to the Standard Oil
company's new filling station.
Hydrant and Car Broken.
The hydrant was broken off close to
the ground and the ear badly damaged.
1t was taken to the South Side Auto
Ecompanys garage where it was put in
condition to be taken home. Mr..
Kottke returned home in one of the
other cars, and came back Monday
after the damaged automobile.
Mr.. Kottke said Monday that he had
no idea how the accident occurred,
except that the car simply wouldn't turn.
Il guess it's just one of those things
that will happen, and no one can tell
what was the cause" he said.
When he arrived Monday Mr.. Kottke
promptly deposited money with the city
to cover the expense of repairing the
hydrant. Had the car been going at
any greater speed the damage to it would
have been much more.
Choir Not Delayed.
The cars accompanying Mr.. Kottke
carried the choir to st. Peter and the
members returned after the program
at the church there had been completed.
The services were very impressive and
were witnessed by large congregation
The Lutheran churches of several near
by towns joined with the st. P&e,
church in the services.
