SILK ROBBERS IN
BLUE EARTH JAIL
TRIO CAPTURED EARLY MONDAY
BELIEVED MEN WANTED At
SPRINGFIELD
WE'VE CAUGHT WHILE ROBBING
A STORE IN FARIBAULT
COUNTY

Three burglars arrested at Blue Earth,
In the capture of which one of the men
vas wounded by the sheriff of that
UNITY, are believed by Sheriff W. J..
: julius and Deputy H. F. Jahnke to be
the gang who some weeks ago robbed a
a store at Springfield of $4,000 worth of
silks.
In the Blue Earth job the burglars
had gathered up silks valued at $4,000
and were in store there ready to depart
when they were surprised by the sheriff
and a posse. In an exchange of shots,
one of the men who gave his name as
Charles Larabee of San Francisco, was
shot i'll the back and captured. The
other two eluded the officer and posse
who had come to his assistance and
escaped. Two suspects were later
caught at Worthington and taken to the
county Jail at Blue Earth.
Member Henderson Gang
One of the latter is declared from the
description to be "Curley'' Clause, a
member Of the Murphy gang.
who robbed the Erickson & Kasro store
at Comfrey last October. Two mem
bers of the gang, James Henderson and
James Murphy were convicted in the
district court here in December and
sentenced to terms at Saltwater.
Clause, who gave his name as Adams
at Blue Earth, is said to have been in
Springfield on the day of the silk robbery,
\since which time the officers have been
on the lookout for him. The other prisoner
arrested at Worthington gives his name
as Murphy.
\ Goes To Blue Earth
Sheriff Julius will go to Blue Earth
today, in the hope of identifying Clause.
It is possible the prisoners will be brought
here for trial on the Springfield robbery
charge, although that has not yet been
definitely decided.
The local officers are unable so far to
identify Larabee and Murphy from the
descriptions given them over the tele-
phone by the sheriff at Blue Earth.
Sheriff Julius will be accompanied to
Blue Earth by Al. Thorsen, who saw
Clause at Springfield.

Wheat prices slumped off 80 cents

west and northwest.
Hard on Millers.
The action makes it bad for tho
mlllers' said Charles Vogtel, secretary
and general manager of the Eagle Roller
Milling company, yesterday. sThat is
because we are unable to buy wheat
except as we sell the flour. 1 believe #
was the buying by the millers that has
caused wheat to go up so rapidly in
price lately. 1t has been the custom of
the mill owners to buy futures to make
sure of having the wheat when needed at
a later date. In case of an oyersunnlv

found the man to be partly paralyzed.
He was taken to St. Peter and it was

commissioners. A map and list OF
cities was shown to him, and when the
name of st. Louis, Mo-, was shown he
gave signs OF interest. The commission

SANE FOURTH SAVES MONEY

The saving that would result from a
non-explosive observance of the Fourt /

year IS no minor consideration. It
would pc t.e very great, and the money that
ordinarily would be wasted on fireworks
could pc applied to much better purposes.

LUVERNE is LIKELY
TO GET COMPANY A
Delegation Sees Governor and
Secures Ten Days Extension.

Company A is very likely to be moved
to Luverne within week. This would
have happened the first of this week but
Tor the visit to st. Paul Saturday of some
New Ulm citizens. The fact developed
that such action had been recommended
by Col. w. i. Mollison, regimental com
mander, when l.. G. Vogel, Major Albert
Pfaender, Capt. B. Groebner and L. B.
krook appeared at the office of Governor
j. a. A. Burnquist, Saturday.
Given Ten Days Extension.
When the delegation arrived at the
state capitol the members were informed
that it had been decided that unless the
company was recruited up to peace
strength by that day, the recommends
ton of Colonel Mollison would be carried
out forthwith. Later in the day a ten
days extension of time was allowed.
1T was explained, however, that this
would be only a temporary arrangement
as the company would later be returned
to New Ulm. After considerable per
suaslon the governor consented to hear
the arguments of the delegates, when it
was explained that this city had been mis-
understood in the matter; that the only
reason it had been impossible to recruit,

in the Second Regiment. In fact the UNI
fairness of Colonel Mollison was held
responsible for the inability of the officers
and citizens of New Ulm to instill any
enthusiasm into the prospective recruits
for the company.
Delegates See Mollison.
II. N. Somsen and Ferdinand Crone
constituted a committee that went to
Faribault. yesterday to confer with
Colonel Mollison. They were given his
side of the story.
Capt. w. F. Rhinow, military aid to
Governor Burnquist, communicated with
Colonel Mollison by telephone, notifying
him of the extension
In the meantime it is up to New Ulm
to secure some twenty recruits this week
or it will lose the company.
The New Ulm delegates learned while
in the governors Office that the Second
Regiment band would be stationed at
Mankato and that the Machine Gun
company goes to Faribault.

CITIZENS TO HELP
RECRUIT ARMY MEN
Committee of Ten Will Aid In
Work of Building Up Company A.

A committee of ten citizens will make
an effort to recruit Company A to its
maximum strength This was decided
at a meeting at the Commercial Club
rooms Monday night.
IL. N. Somsen and Ferdinand Crone,
who visited Colonel Mollison at Faribault
last Saturday, reported in detail their
interview with the commanding officer OF
the Second Regiment. They said the
colonel was extremely cordial, and
promised all possible aid in retaining the
New Ulm company in the regiment. He
said, however, that Luverne now had a
company of 100 men recruited, differed
and ready to step into New Ulm's shoes.
Wants Company in New Ulm.
The colonel said, tho, that he pre-
ferred to have the company remain where
it is. He is willing that all necessary
time be taken to recruit and bring it up
to membership that would make a
good showing when the company is
called to Fort Smelling, which is liable
to be at any time now.
Phillip Liesch, chairman of the com
mittee appointed week ago to see what
could be done to reorganize Company A,
reported but little progress beyond that
OF the attempt to get matters Strengthened
out, and for which committees were sent
to interview Governor Burnquist and
Colonel Mollison
Mr.. Crone, Mr.. Liesch, Charles Hauen-
stein and others urged the necessity of
retaining Company A here.
Situation is Unfortunate.
1T is unfortunate that affairs should
have come to such pass at this time, .
said Mr.. Crone. 1T causes people who
do not know the inside history of the
present conditions, to believe it is be-
cause this is a German community that
has caused the company to go to pieces.
We should all remember that we are
American citizens, and get busy.
have heard so much of 'militarism' in
the past few weeks that I'm sick and
tired of it. What we need is less talk
and more work, or give it up entirely.
What does it matter to us whether the
officers are popular with the men or not?
There IS no way to remedy this any way.
There is no more electing of officers, for
they are now appointed by their super
iors."
Appoints Committee
President Ottomeyer late yesterday
appointed the committee to recruit for
Company A. The members are as
follows: P. Liesch, Ferdinand Crone,
H. N. Somsen, E. Metzinger, Charles
Vogtel, Adolph Nellie, Charles Stoz,
Albert Pfaender, Adolph Kause, B.
