SWING ROWING MACHINE

a similar device that any ingenious
boy can set up in the attic. base

and fresh air.
The principal part of the rowing
machine is swinging plank hung
on four ropes from joists or rafters
above. The plank should be about
10 feet long. / IL to 2 in. thick.
and 10 to IL inches wide. 1t should
hang about s inches above the floor
on four ropes tied separately to
prevent fitting. To be sitter, it
might be hung on four long narrow
boards, say 1x4 inches pivOted on
spikes at each end.
The handles, or stationary oars

out of the handle of an old shovel

The distance between the handles

the oar and footrest frameworks.
Before mailing them to the floor, sit
on the plank, lean far back, almost

HEARING,

Aug. G. Erickson, publisher OF the

Of a sound trouneing at the Hands of
County Auditor Louis G. Vogel at the
latter's office in the courthouse here,
Thursday forenoon, and everyone with
whom we have discussed this affair,
seems to be agreed that it was well de-
served on the part of the volcanic scribe,
in view OF repeated vilifeations hurled
at the county auditor through the edi-
torial columns of the Free Press. ~
Evidence of Sympathy.
Be that asst may, the factremalns that
Immediately following the preliminary
hearing before Justice ]. ]. Ray at
Springfield, Saturday afternoon, dozens
Of good citizens of that village volun-
tarily came forward and offered to fur
nish the $500 cash bail fixed by the
court. Had the amount been several
thousand dollars, it could have been
deposited with the justice within very
brief period of time. Since the fracas,
Mr.. Vogel has had number OF long
distance calls from various prominent
parties throughout the county, offering
him any and all financial assistance need
ed in his defense. These facts would
indicate that Mr. Vogel does not stand
alone, but rather is classed as hero for
doing noble deed.
Saws 1t Was Patriotic Duty.
When a representative Of the ReuieaU
called upon the genial county auditor,
Monday morning, he found the latter
busy at work at his desk, and was
greeted in the usual friendly manner.
But when we preached the "late I'M
pleasantness" to him, he declined to
make a statement in his defense. He
only said that on a holiday like Lin
coins birthday, every loyal American
citizen should perform some patriotic
duty. Mr.. Vogel emphatically denied
that he was acting in an official capacity
when he attacked the Springfield editor.
He admitted, however, that he did
thorough job. .'''-'
Hauled Into Justice Court.
A warrant, sworn out by the Free
Press scribe, and charging the county
auditor with assault and battery, was
served upon the latter by Constable
J. B. Christensen Of Springfield, Friday
noon. The document cited Mr.. Vogel
to appear in Justice J. ]. Rays court
in that village, the following day (Satur
day., and, with his counsel, Attorney
Alfred W. Mueller Of this city, he left
for that place on the afternoon train.
After the usual preliminaries MIR. Vogel
pleaded mot guilty. and the hearing
was set for Friday Of this week, before
Ju tice Ray. Bail was fixed in the
sum of $500, and, as stated above, quite
a number Of good citizens of Springfield
offered to furnish this amount.
Interest Is Intense.
The affair has created intense interest
in every nook and corner of the county
and Judging from the many offers Of
financial assistance from prominent peo-
pie in New Ulm, Sleepy Eye, Springfield
and elsewhere, the major portion of
sympathy rests with Mr.. Vogel. The
outcome of the legal battle, should one
develop, will be watched with keen in
terest.

FAITHFUL WORKER
!. FOR LOCAL FIRM
CHRIST. SPRINGER HAS SEEN
SERVICE AT CRONE BROS.
FOR FORTY YEARS. 80.
WAS BORN ON OCEAN VESSEL
AND WORKED ON FARM
FOR UNCLE.

Yesterday, February II, it was forty
years ago that Christ. Sprenger entered
upon his long career of faithful service
at Theo. Crone's general store. On
that day he accepted position in the
dry goods department Of that store and
since then has worked for this firm which
was later changed to Crone Bros gen
eraf store up to the present day. This
of which the iubilarian may we'll be
proud and which throws some
very creditable light on his employers.
At present Mr.. Sprenger is head of the
dry goods department in Crone Bros.
general store, which position he also has
held for long number of years. He is
we'll known in the community and has
a large number of friends in and out of
town, whose respect and esteem he
enjoys in high degree.
Among First Settlers.
Mr.. Sprenger's family belong to the
old settlers of 1856, his parents settling
upon homestead in Cottonwood town.
ship, about two and half miles from
New Ulm, which then was in the second
year of it's existence. Only for a very
short time did Mr.. Sprenger leave this
neighborhood, once in 1862 when driven
away by the Indian outbreak the family
fled to St. Peter and then later when as
lad of Is he went to Delaware county,
Iowa, to live with an uncle of his who
resided on farm there. He had been
in Iowa before, his parents having settled
there for the first winter after their
arrival in the United States. Mr..
Sprenger was only one month old then,
having been born on the ocean vessel
that brought his parents across the
Atlantic ocean. Their home was in
German Austria, which country they eft
during the summer of 1855.
Lived on Farm.
Farm work was the first occupation
of the subject of this sketch. After
quiet had been restored in this terri
tory in the fall of 1862, the Sprenger
family, with many others, returned to
New Ulm and again settled on their
farm in Cottonwood township. Here
the boy remained until he was Is years
of age. He then left home to live with
his uncle in Delaware county, Ia. Dur
ing the summer he worked on the
farm, while he made use of the quiet
winter months by studying English and
other subjects. For four years he
remained there and then returned to
his home where he worked on the farm
| for another year.
Takes Position in Store.
Early in 1878 he changed his line of
occupation, securing position in Behnke
Bros dry goods store. But it seemed
that the attractive power of the soil
was still too great and so he went back
to the farm for another year. The
following year he broke away for good,
though, entering the service of Theo.
Crone, ST., to clerk in his dry goods
department. It was evident from the
beginning that his work was very salts

of years he was entrusted with the man
agement of the dry goods department.
From that time on he has taken care Of
