Universalismus" and which was re-
ported to have been published during
the summer in the New Ulm Post and
also in the 'Rundschau' published in
South Dakota. The most careful search
failed to disclose the article in question.
The secret service man had a letter
to which he referred while making the
search. This letter bore the signature of
a Well-knoWn citizen of New Ulm who
has had great deal to do with foment-
ing trouble in New Ulm. This same
party has several times during the
year past attempted to prevent the
distribution of the Post to it's sub

whether his present plans succeed and
whether they will bring the results he

ASSISTANCE TO BE GIVEN y 4
FOR REBUILDING OF TYLER
Commercial Club Representatives
Meet.En St. Paul And Decide
: Upon Plan

c.. A. Stolz was in ST. Paul Saturday
attending ameeting of the representatives
of the Commercial Clubs Of the State to
decide upon a plan to assist in the re-
building and rehabilitation of Tyler,
Minnesota. Mr.. Stolz was selected as
the representative Of the local COM
mercial club by the directors in response
to telegram received from G. H.
Bigelow, president of the St. Paul COM
mercial club. The commercial club of
that city has been requested by the
governor to invite representatives of
various cities to meet in the Senate
chamber Of the capitol in St. Paul to
decide upon some plan of assistance.
The meeting was attended by about
thirty representatives from various cities.
After discussing the question nd>hearing
the needs of the city from representatives
of Tyler it was requested that the
Governor appoint committee OF five
from various parts of the state to work
in conjunction with the committee from
Tyler.
The plan proposed is either to ask
cities of the state for voluntary. con-
tributions or to levy a quota for each
city. The committee was also asked to
obtain enough credit from the money
men of the state, at low rate of interest
to give the inhabitants of Tyler chance
torebuild their places of business. Mimi
eapolis civic men have already raised
$4,000 and are at present constructing
community building to be used by the
various business men of the city until
their places have been rebuilt. Later
it will be converted into a city hall or
some public building. -
If the plan works out all right it is
possible that a permanent committee
will be appointed to take charge of relief
work in case of similar disasters elsewhere.

PICKPOCKETS BUSY AT q,
BROWN COUNTY FAIR
Touch Fair Visitors For Over 5000
Suspect Set Free For Lack of
sss~- Evidence s.~> &

Lightfngered artists were busy last
week at the County Fair when they
relieved abouta dozen of thefair attend
ants of their purses, containing in all
approximately 5000. The police soon
got on to their workings and Immediately
started to round them up. Two fellows
were given chase and one of them was
caught but the other one escaped.
Suspicion was aroused by the fellows
when they left the exhibition hall in a
hurry and rode to town in a hired car.
They did not know where they wanted
to go, first stating that they wanted to
go to the depot. When they reached
the Pioneer Drug Store they left the car,
one going into nearby saloon and the
other into Berndt's restaurant. Police
We're hot on their trail and the one that
went into the restaurant was taken in
tow by VIM. Pfeiffer while the other one
escaped.
The apprehended man, who gave his
name>as Chas. Scanlon and his residence
as Rochester. was taken to the jail
and searched but very little money was
found. His record was looked up by
the local police but they were unable to
obtain enough evidence against him SO
he was released last Saturday. It is
thought that two women were working
with the men and that the man that
made his getaway had the coin.

ONLY FEW VALUABLES ON BODY
. AT TIME OF ACCIDENT ON
FRIDAY

Lee Bissell, a transient harvest laborer
about 40 years Of age, who had been
in this vicinity but few days, was run
over and killed by the early morning
passenger going west out of New Ulm
Friday last week. The accident hap
peped between Second and Third North
Streets: and according to the. train
crew, the unfortunate man was seen
too late to stop the train before it
struck him. Dr.. G. +. Reineke, coroner,
gave it his opinion that the man had
fallen in a faint on the track as he was
not feeling well at the time. His body
was identified by companion, George
Gieseke, who was here with him and
who said that they had been school
mates together and now were tramping
about the country, working few days
here and there.
No Valuables Found
When the man was seen by the train
crew he was lying across the track.
The impact Of the train when he was
struck, cut a deep cash in the head and
severed both the upper and lower limbs
on the right side. The body was cared
for at the Buenger Undertaking rooms.
The man was clothed in overalls and
a dark shirt and had no identification
papers upon him. The contents Of
his pockets summed UP a few nickels,
a bar Of soap, some tobacco and matches
Gieseke gave the information that
the dead man was from Cook. County
Ill, and that his nearest relatives live
at Palatine, Ill. Chas. Potter Of Palatine
and II. 81. Palmann Of the same place
were named as interested parties to be
