Joy RIDERS MAY
PAY QUITE DEARLY
ALFRED sCHRoEck DISCOVERS
WHY HIS GASOLINE GOES
SO FAST.
TWO YOUNG MEN BORROW
CAR WITHOUT BoTHERING
ITS OWNER.

For some time ALI. Schroeck has
noticed that the gasoline in his car was
going mighty fast, and couldn't under
stand Why he was using SO much for the,
amount OF driving he was doing. Sunday
night he made discovery. It was the
fact that he was having help in the
matter of running the car, and this help
was Of the unlimited brand.
Car Was Gone.
On that evening he strolled around to-
the garage, having had tip that all was,
not going right. He found the garage
minus car. He called Deputy Sheriff
Jahnke and Policeman Harmening and
the three lay in wait for some time.
Late in the evening four f'joy riders
hove in sight, and they were in Mr..
Schroeck's car. They were two young
men and two girls. The boys, who,
proved to be Elmer Tape and Oscar
Sandau, were taken into custody. The
girls were Emma Moerbitz and Alma
Dahms. After being questioned, the
officers say the boys confessed to having
taken the car on three occasions. Thew
were allowed to go, but Mr.. Schroeck
declares that the matter has not yet been
settled and they are very likely to be-
obliged to answer to serious charge.
Penalty is Heavy.
The state law provides that borrow
ing" a car is equivalent to stealing it,
and is punishable as such.
The boys are also claimed to have ex-
planned that they had obtained key
from a hardware store with which they,
gained entrance to the garage.

ssrGLENHORSE ISSsON
RETURNED TO ITS OWNER
Stuebe Brothers Bay Taken From
Farm, Found Near Madelia.

/. May" the brown mare belonging to-
Stuebe Bros, and known to pretty nearly
everybody in this part of Brown county.
was stolen from their farm Sunday
morning, June 10. While the horse was,
missed the same morning, it was not until
the following Wednesday that the owners.
we're convinced that the animal had been
stolen.
Fisherman Saw Horse.
A New Ulm man, fishing on the Cot
tonwood river early Sunday, casually
remarked that he saw man riding the
animal south that morning, but thinking
it was an employee Of stuebe Bros, paid
no further attention. 1t was then that.
the owners got busy. Deputy Sheriff
II. F. Jahnke was notified and i'm
mediately got the telephone lines into
action. He learned that farmer about.
a mile from Madelia had taken up a
stray horse, answering the description
OF the missing animal. The Deputy then
went to that place and returned in the.
afternoon with the stolen horse.
Looking for Wilkins.
AS a result of the theft the sherif's
office is looking for Fred Wilkins, who
has been employed in this vicinity as a
tller. From the description of the man
seen riding the horse away it is believed.
Wilkins was the man. He is described
as feet 9 or 10 inches high, 80 to go
years old, light complexion. Wore grey
suit OF clothes, either grey cap or light
Stetson hat.
The state offers standing reward of
$500 for the arrest and conviction of a.
horse thief.
It is claimed that Wilkins had, just
before his departure, been engaged In
one OF two shady business transactions.

Indian Monument
In New Location
SHAFT IN HONOR OF NEW ULM DEFEND-
ERS IS HALFA BLOCK UP CENTER
STREET.

The Indian monument has. been
moved, and now occupies spot in the
middle Of Center street, midway between
State and Washington, and half block
west Of where it has stood for nearly
twenty seyen years. The monument
was erected by the state of Minnesota,
at the intersection Of State and Center
streets, December 20, 1890, and dedicated
and formally presented to the city OF
New Ulm on August %, 1891.
That was a great day for New Ulm.
Besides the old defenders of New Ulm,
and they were not so old then as they are
now, and besides there were many more
Of them than now, there were men
prominent in state and nation to do
honor to New Ulm's brave men who had
fought to save the town and the lives of
the citizens of all the district around
from the fury of the Indians in those
Hateful days of August, 1862, just twenty
nine years before the dedication day.
The visitors on arriving in the city were
welcomed by salutes from Burg's Battery,
which had then long been in service, and
which still does it's duty when occasion
requires.
Presented by Governor Merriam.
The official presentation was made by
Governor w. R. Merriam, and the
address of acceptance was by Mayor
Wagner of New Ulm. Other addresses
were by Colonel Chas. H. Flandrau, who
was in command of the white forces in
the battles of New Ulm, Governor
Ramsey, who was the states executive
at the time of the outbreak, and several
others we'll known in those days.
Complete and accurate accounts of the
erection of the monument in December,
$780,, and of it's dedication in August,
1891, were published in the Review, Of
which Fred ofaason ives then
and furnish the information from which
this is written.
s Freeman Talbot Of LIE Sueur was given
the credit by the New Ulm papers of that
day of being the one to suggest erecting a
monument in honor of the New Ulm
defenders. His idea was to raise the
money by private subscription, but
others who we're familiar with the great
service rendered the state by the defeat
of the Indians, thought the expense
should be borne by the entire common
wealth, and a bill was introduced in
the house of representatives appropriate
ing $4,000 for that purpose. The bill
passed the house, but the amount was
reduced to $4,000 in the senate.

NEW ULM, BROWN COUNTY. MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY JUNE
TAILOR ATTEMPTS HIS
LIFE; HE WILL RECOVER

St. Peter seems to be a bad town for
tallors. Last winter member OF that
fraternity, whose home was at Mankato,
wentto st. Peter to work, became disgust
ed with life, came to New Ulm and tried
to cut his throat. Now another one has
decided that it is better to die than live
in that town. The following is from
last weeks Free Press:
Because he couldn't stand the bluff
Anton Malin, tailor, who has been en-
ployed by Dicks for the past two years,
tried Monday to end his life by cutting
his throat Malin had been drinking
heavily of late and that, coupled with
dependency, drove him into fit of
insanity which nearly proved his I'M
doing. Failing to more than wound
himself, he started to run towards the
river, but Chief of Police Dempsey over
took him and brought him before Judge
Mol, where he was examined and COM
mitted to the state hospital for the in
sane. Rest and careful treatment it
is thot will bring him through this fit
of dependency and restore him to good
health and SPIRITS. ..-.
Saloons we're forbidden to sell Ii
qucr to Mr.. Malin early in the year be.
cause of his disorderly conduct but the
prohibition was later removed. He
is native Of Sweden, coming to this
country Jan. 20, 1914. He is married
and has one child. e-..

KUBHNBL ROAD TO
BE IMPROVED NOW
NICoLLET AND BROWN COUNTIES
AND CITY OF NEW ULM WILL
PAY EXPENSE.
CUMMINGS BRIDGE WILL NOT BE
REBUILT BEFORE ANOTHER
]
YEAR.

Nicollet county has appropriated
So 900 to assist in raising the Kuehnel
road. leading from that count into New
Ulm, above the high water mark. This
action was taken at a joint meeting Of the
commissioners of Nicollet and Brown
counties at the court house in this city
last Thursday afternoon. By the agree
ment Brown county will appropriate
So 900 and New Ulm $4,000, making an
aggregate Of $4,000, which it is believed
will amply provide for a ad bed that
will not be overlooked every spring and
often during the summer
Improvement Long Needed.
The improvement has long been needed
and the cooperation of Nicollet and
Brown county commissioners with the
city council of New Ulm has made this
possible The meeting was attended by
number of business men and members
of the Commercial club, who urged the
necessity of the improvement, and there
was but little opposition on the part of
the Nicollet commissioners.
The special committee of the Com
mercial club that has been working on the
proposition for several months is en-
titled to a great deal of credit for their
untiring efforts in bringing about the
desired improvement.
Rr:lra - Watt a Vear
The Cumnains bridge, washed away
during the high water in the early spring,
will probably not be rebuilt this year.
The commissioners Of Brown and Nicollet
counties visited the scene of the bridge
Thursday. The members of the Nicollet
board said it would be impossible for
their county to bear its expense this year.
It was practically decided that nothing
would be done in the premises before
1918.

BAKERS MAKE LARGER LOAF

+ AS will be noticed by an advertise
ment in this issue iof the Review the
bakers Of New Ulm are now baking a
largerloaf than the one that retails for
10 cents. This one costs Is cents, and
the bakers say its worth it, that is at the
present cost Of flour, and other baking
material. The new loaf is advocated on
the ground that the customer gets more
for his money than is contained in the
smaller loaf. There is less crust and the
larger size retains it's moisture better
than the smaller. They say it is as
large as can be made for the money.

BLACK And YELLOW
TRAIL is DECIDED
COUNCIL PERMANENTLY ESTAB-
LIsHEs ROUTE ON SOUTH
TWELFTH ST.
THOUSAND DOLLARS TO BE Elk.
PENDED THIS YEAR HALF
BY STATE

State Road, No Sc, otherwise known
SSas the ''Black and Yellow TRAIL" will be
gimproved, that part Of it passing thru
the city OF New Ulm at once. One
thousand dollars will be expended this
season, work to begin as soon as the
preliminary details have been finished.
This was decided en- at special meeting
of the city council Friday evening.
Half of the money is to be supplied by
the state.
+. r.. State Wanted To Know
At the regular meeting of the council
June 6, City Attorney Pfaender read
a communication from the State High
way commission, asking what the city
intended to do relative to the road. The
communication was the reason for
Friday evenings meeting. A year Or
two ago the highway commission noti-
fed the city that it would be assisted in
improving the road between the east
and west city limits, that is from the
CORTLAND bridge to the hill at the Loret-
{ to hospital to the extent OF $500 each
year, the city to expend like amount,
<until the road had been completed. It
was necessary first for the council to
designate the streets to be traversed by
the trail. Aside from deciding the route
nothing has been done until now. .
Route Is Designated.
At the meeting of June Alderman
Filzen suggested that the road, upon
leaving the CORTLAND bridge should
occupy Front street to Center and up
that thorofare to Broadway, to Fifth
North ard from there to the hospital
hill. This route would take the place
of the one originally planned. City
E'ngineerI NJ Norelius was instructed
to make estimates Of the cost Of two
routes, the one mentioned, and also one
starting from the CORTLAND bridge and
running up Twelfth South street to
Broadway and from there to the hospl-
tai, via Fifth North. A survey of the
two routes showed that the one via
Center street would cost $3,339.70,
while the Improvement of Twelfth street
would cost So, 1920. This was reported
Is the council. il.
4 Mayor Fritsche favored the Twelfth
] street route for the reason, he said,
there is greater danger from trains and
switching engines with the road thru the
railroad yards. He said the Twelfth street
route is much safer for travellers. = 49,
After considerable discussion the
Twelfth street route was adopted and
the chairman OF. the street committee
instructed to notify State Engineer
Charles N. Robertson to. make the
necessary drawings, estimates, etc.
Pay Twice'a Month
+ City Attorney Pfaender was Instructed
to frame up plan whereby the city's
street laborers and similar employees
NAV be- paid twice month, the first
and fifteenth, instead of once month
as at present. -.:..... -:
The city attorney was also advised
to take the necessary proceedings to
stop the encroachment Of the various
gravel pit owners upon the streets and
allevs: which it is claimed ale becoming
dangerous to human life.

Why 1t was Moved.

The proposal to remove the monument
from its location of more than quarter
of a century took active form last fall, it
having been argued for some time that
the space afforded on either side of the
shaft was too narrow for automobiles
to safely pass. 1t was not until an in
toxicated auto driver had run into the
fence that the real seriousness Of the
situation was fully realized.
Besides many Of the property owners on
State street were anxious to boulevard
that thorofare, which would materially
narrow the roadway There was con
siderable opposition, to the removal
voiced by many of the few remaining de
tenders, but this was gradually overcome,
and during the winter the park board
was authorized to make'a double roadway
between State and Washington streets,
and place the monument in the center.
1t now adorns a spot between the High
School building and Court House square

CLAM FISHERS GETTING
TOP PRICES FOR SHELLS

The clam fishers have been selling
their shells during the past week, and the
prices received certainly give them nc
cause for complaint. They are getting
$35 ton, which is the highest price ever
received for that commodity in the
history of the industry on the Minnesota
river. A few years ago they sold as low
as $19. The bulk of the shells are
shipped to Muscatine, Iowa, and to
Lake City, Mimi, where they are manu-
featured into buttons. Some go to
Saltwater, where there is also small
button factory.
1t is said that the shell buyers had a
small combine for the purpose Of keeping
prices down, but Lake City man re-
fused to go in on the deal and the tclam
shell trust'' was of short duration.
High water and heavy winds are said
to have made the fishing very slow so
far this season.
A new law passed by the legislature
places a license on the fishers this year,
which is causing lot Of trouble for the
game wardens. The license for residents
of the state is SIS for the season, while
those living outside Of the state are
obliged to pay $50. Some Iowa men
who have brought their families with
them now they claim the state of
Minnesota as their residence, and the
warden is not prepared to say the men
are not telling the truth.
Sunday afternoon the three-year old
son Of Mr.. and Mrs. George Haag was
riding his tricycle. on the street, big
six-cylinder Buick come bearing down
on the youngster.1 The car struck the
boys miniature vehicle while the child
was still aboard, and smashed it beyond
recognition, while the boy escaped IN
jury. The driver, who was a stranger,
stopped his car, dismounted and cave. cave
the little fellow a tongue lashing Tor
being on earth. Then he boarded his
!. car and drove rapidly away.
