Big Success.

Information gathered by the rail-
road war board indicates that the vol
untary action Of the roads merging
themselves into one great continental
system has made the transportation
problem much easier to handle.
Concrete instances of what has been
accomplished are summarized as fol-
lows:
Car shortage has been reduced 20
per cent.
The carriers have achieved the as
founding feat Of adding to their freight
service an amount equal to the Joint
traffic Of Great Britain, France, Rus
STA, Germany and Austria.
Approximately 100000 miles of
train service a year have been saved
by the elimination of passenger
trains not essential to pressing needs.
This has released locomotives and
cleared thousands of miles of track
needed in the transportation of neces-
sites.

Local TALENTs WILL ST..
APPEAR IN PLAY
The Princes. ST Poe e: b Given ,,.s,
Sunday Evening Of This
Week.

Something little different in the line
|ofa home talent production will be offered
to the people Of this community on Sum
day evening of this week, when 'The
Princess of Poe: a musical comedy will
be given by The international Producing
Company of Minneapolis, under the
auspices of the Turner Theatre. Nothing
similar to this has ever been undertaken
by local amateurs, and when one stops
to think that the cast contains some sew
enty odd characters, it can be realized
that something out of the ordinary is
to be shown.
The Princess of Poe, is musical
production in two parts, the action Of
which, lis very simple, but handled in
skillful way. William Lloyd is a
struggling young artist, the accepted
sutton Of Irma Crosby, young heiress
to some thirty millions of dollars. He
incurs the ennity of DeKoven, also a
sutton for 1rma's hand. DeKoven is
a man of wealth and culture, who has
made a study of occultism. He does
all in his power to ruin the young artist,
as he wishes to marry the heiress. He
exercises his power to the extent OF calling
forth demon from the Internal regions,
to assist him, but at, every turn he is
thWarted by The Princess of Poe, who
assists Lloyd in his struggles. Seth
Haskins, an old farmer comes between
the warning factions, and barely escapes
with his life. The first scene is laid at
Bath Beach, near New York, and the sec
ond is an interior view of the Venetian
palace home OF Lloyd. During the
course Of the play, various musical num-
bers and drills by the choruses. are in
troduced. There are solos, duets and a
quartet, in addition to the procession
OF floats seen in the canals of Venice.
The company comes here very highly
recommended, and altho this is their
first production in New Uln, they have
given the play at many places in this
vicinity, and in each instance, have
been forced to return to repeat the per-
Torrance. They furnish all special cos
tunes, as we'll as special scenery, electri-
cal effects, and the like.

REMEMBERS LAST OF THE
CHIPPEWA-SIOUx BATTLES

y sx[
Fred Fritsche, New Ulm pioneer,
who has for many years resided Brown in
Go, father of DR.. L. A. Fritsche, while
inthe city Monday, related to the Review:
his recollections of the early Indian days,
and OF, meeting party of Sioux Indians
shortly after their last battle with the
hated Chippewas, which had occurred
short time before at. Shakopee.
The last battle between the Sioux
and ChippeWas occurred at Shakopee,' .
said Mr.. Fritsche. Mr. Pfeferle, in
the Review of last week, placed the date
at 1856, but / am quite sure it was4in
1858. However, there is no question
but the last battle between those two
tribes was fought at Shakopee, and not in
the vicinity of Graceville, as has been
stated in a st. Paul paper
+ remembe very well what happened
at that time. It was in the summer
Of 1858, when some Sioux Indians called
at our house in. New. Ulm, and asked
my mother for a kettle in which they
said they wanted to boil some coffee.
My mother did not wish to let them have
it, but happened in at the time and got
them an iron kettle. could understand
the Indian language better than she.
think they recognized me as had pre-
viously worked at the Lower Agency
hofo
much pleased because of my willingness
to grant their request regarding the
kettle, and invited me to theiF camp.
There were seven or eight young warriors,
who had just come from the Shakopee
battle. They had nothing with them
except. their guns and scalping knives.
When reached the camp they dis
played seven Chippewa scalps, which
were hanging >on a pole. l suppose
looked bit terrified, but they invited
me to sit in their circle around the scalps
where we smoked the pipe of peace. In
NY terror praised their deeds of valor,
and talked Of their courage, but at the
same time was scared half out of my wits.
have since remarked that it is pos
sible that I exchanged bullets with these
same Sioux four. years later at the battle
of New Ulm.
The next morning the Indians brought
back the kettle. Several days later
large number of Sioux Indians put up a
camp near New Ulm. It was on the
spot later known as the Dittbenner farm.
Many people, including myself, went
out to visit the camp. There were two
long rows of tents. In the center the
Big Chief walked back and forth, making
a speech to his men. The latter were
seated in their tents, intently listening
to the speech.
Suddenly and unexpectedly the white
men were ordered to leave the camp.
We learned later that the reason for this
was that the Indians feared an attack
from the Chippewas, and it was for our
safety that they made us leave"
Mr.. Fritsche is positive the last fight
was between the Sioux and Chippewas
at Shakopee in 1858.

HORSE BUYER DISAPPEARS

Last week horsebuyer, giving his
name as W.-P. Fortner, claiming to re-
present a Chicago concern, appeared
at Lambel ton, and making that place
his headquarters, secured the country
for horses to be sent to the European
var. He bought large number, max
ing a small payment on each pur-
chase. The day before the deliveries
We're to have been made, Fortner
quietly left town, and when the farmers
arrived with the stock there was no one
to receive it. As the would-be sellers
had received as first payment, enough to
recompense them for their trouble in
bringing the horessN to town, no one
was out anything. AS Fortner did not
gain anything on the transaction, even
being loser to the extent OF his ex-
penses and first payments, his object
in the deal is hard for the Lamberton
folks to understand.
