FRANK KEUTE.

The death on Saturday last, of Frank
Keute, at his home in this city, removed
another old resident of New Ulm and
Brown County. Mr.. Keute, who had
passed his 63rd year, died at 3:15 Satur-
day afternoon, February 3rd. The i'm
mediate cause of his death was stroke
of apoplexy, after an illness of less than
one day, although he had been sufferer
from asthma for the past fourteen years.
Mr.. Keute was born in Hannenstadt,
near Munster, Westfallen, Germany,
in 1853, and came to America thirty
six years ago and settled at. once in
New Ulm. Some years before his de-
.parture for America, he was married to
Miss Mary Kramer, the bride following
in September a few months after her
husband had arrived to prepare their
home in this country.
Nine children were born to the couple,
six of whom are still living. Besides
his widow he is survived by the follow
ing children. They are: Fred, Henry
&and Frank, Jr., Of New Ulm; Anna and
Bertha of St. Paul., Mrs. Lee C. Martin
of Sioux City, Iowa.
Mr.. Keute, during his long residence
in New Ulm, has been highly respected
citizen, good husband and kind father,
and his loss is felt by large circle of
friends and neighbors.
" For many years Mr.. Keute was
leading contractor in this city being
member of the firm of Keute & Nagel
and took part in the construction of
some of the largest buildings in this
= city. Since retiring from the active
contracting business, to which he was
succeeded by his son, Fred Keute,
he has been associated more or less
with the latter. He was a brick mason
by trade, and his last active work was
in the construction of the New Ulm
Rural Telephone Companys building,
which is nearing completion at the cor
ner of Second North and German Streets.
The funeral will be held from the

at his home in this city on Monday after

life. He was married in his native town,

DARING SWINDLER
 SETS LIVELY PACE
Leaps Over AreaWay and Dives
 Through Window

New York, Aug. 14.-Wall Street in the vicinity of Hanover street was the scene of enough excitement yesterday to make thrilling five reeler when a man who gave the name of Marcus Gonzales attempted to escape from secret service agents after he had been identified as 8 swindler by teller in the banking offices of Brown Bros. & Go. at 59 Wall street.
 When faced by the teller the all leged swindler fought himself free from the secret service agents and 1eaped from a second story window, jumping 12 feet across 40 foot deep areaway and landing on the roof of an abutment from a building in Hanover street. Secret service agents brushed aside the groups of stenographers and clerks who had left their desks to see what the trouble was and shot at him while he was splicing the air across the areaway.
 So many heads then -poked out of adjoining office building windows that the secret service men were afraid to fire second shot. But the first re- port had attracted nearly everybody in the neighborhood and young wom- en employees in offices all about were panicky Rumors spread that men were trying to blow up the sub-treas- ury and other institutions
 Marcus Gonzales saw the gathering crowds and dashed head first through

 The prisoner then was taken to the office of Capt. John J. Henry, head of the local branch of the secret service, in the custom house. In his pocket was found loaded automatic pistol. He had in his possession, ac- cording to Capt. Henry, eighteen counterfeit Snotes of the Bank of France, each of the denomination of 1000 francs. They were the remain der, said Capt.

FIRST GROUP GOES
 TO CAMP SEPT. 5
Whole Draft Army to Be in Train
 ing in October

Washington, Aug. 14.-The entire 6S7,000 men composing the first in crement of the army draft forces will be under training. early in October. Under orders the first 30 per cent of the quota of each district will begin entraining for cantonments September 5, the next 30 per cent September 15, another 30 per cent September 80, and the remaining 10 per cent will be mobilized as soon after that date as possible.
 The plan to assemble the new forces furnishing supplies and equipment through September. It will also pre- vent serious shortages in any camp
 and will give the new officers from the
 training camps time to familiarize themselves with their duties gradually
 before responsibility for a great body
 of men falls on them.
 The order means that about 12,0OO
 men will reach each of the 16 canton
 ments soon after September 5. They
 will first be examined physically by
 army doctors and finally accepted or
 rejected. This will take some time and the men will have to be furnished with temporary quarters and rationed
 while awaiting examinations. If the full quota were assembled at one time great confusion would result.
 Presumably, the first increment will have been organized into skeleton companies, battalions or regiments be- fore the second arrives. The new | corners can be quickly absorbed by a going concern in that case, and the third lot can be taken into the war | machinery with even less disturbance
 when it reports fifteen days later. In farming communities local | boards now will arrange the lists of l those to fill the first increment with | local crop conditions in mind. liar 1 vesting is In process in many sections. | Drafted men engaged in that work 1 and who otherwise would go with the l first third of the district quota will be | passed over to the second or third, as l may be necessary.
 Arrangements have been perfected | for the transportation of the men 1 through the Council of National De- | fense and the railroads war board. | The movement on the various dates is expected to be executed without delay and with as little Interference as possible with normal railway traffic.

FAV0RITES BEATEN ON SARATOGA TRACK
Maj. Mcdowell of Kaintuck Up-
 sets All Calculations

Saratoga Springs, N. Y.. Aug. 14.- It was blue Monday here yesterday for both James Buffers good mare Capra and John Sanford's good two- year-old La Russo were beaten, and they were two that seemed to stand out as sure winners.
 It was Major Thomas Clay McDow- ell, from Kentucky. who upset the calculations in both of these events, when Queen Errant was an easy win ner over Capra. while Plum had ab- solutely no trouble in taking down
 the purse in the event that had been
 conceded to La Russo. Incidentally
 both favorites finished third.
 The race in which Capra performed
 was the mile of the Hoosick Falls
 Handicap, and while she was away
 we'll she met with some interference. but not enough to bring about her defeat.
 Queen Errant practically forced all the pace and at the end she had plenty to spare, while Ima Frank, from. the Beverwyck Stable, after being knocked about badly in the 1 running, was the other to beat the Butler mare.
 La Russo was weakly handled by Crump, who had the mount, and third was the best she could do in any part of the running, while Eddie Mar tin rushed Plum into a long lead in the early stages and made every post winning one beating the fast clos 1 ing Rose dor a neck, with La Russe a full eight lengths further back. The only excuse that could be offered for l the Sanford lilly was the weak ride, l for she did not meet with interfer- ence and was off we'll enough. | The steeplechase of the afternoon went to Archaic from the stable o1
 Morton l.. Schwartz, and he was well
 handled by Med Henderson. To score he beat home The Brook, racing under the silks of Mrs. T. J. Dono-
 third In this race T. F. Horne's
 through field for first time. and he showed a good flight of speed to the fifth jump. where he refused and was l pulled up by Brady.
 1 John Sanford started the day well when Meteorite was an easy winner over the six-furlong distance. Sam
 McMeekin, with the aid of spurs, left
 the post in the fifth race after hay ing been left in his two previous
 starts, and he was a handy winner Then, at the end of the program
 Loftus was guilty of going asleep in the stretch on Jusqu' au Bout, the l Joseph widener colt and permitting 1 Clifford A. Cochran's Nepperhan, a l 40 to 1 shot. to beat him home.
