On account of rain the concert
scheduled by the Junior Pioneers at
Turner Park last Thursday evening
the 58th anniversary day of the first
battle of New Ulm, had to be post
poned and it was held Sunday evening
A record crowd was present in spite OF
the fact that it was almost too cool
to be outdoors any length of time
without wraps.
Fine Program Rendered.
Capt. Hofmeister's Band had pre-
pared special program for this oc-
casion and all the numbers were well
received. The log cabin was open to
the public all evening and large
number took occasion to visit it and
take a peep at all the things that are
on exhibition there. Since the last
celebration quite number more
photographs OF the old pioneers have
been added. These photographs are,
indeed, very interesting and always
prove a drawing card.
Junior Pioneers Junior.
AS foreshadowed in last week.
Review, new organization was formed
last Thursday, to be known as Junior
Pioneer Juniors. Very little time had
been devoted to getting this organiza-
ton under way and it is quite crafty
ing to note that the membership al
ready numbers more than eighty
Given Hearty Welcome.
This new organization was given a
hearty welcome Sunday evening by
Albert. 4Steinhauser, president of the
Junior Pioneers, when he introduced
them to the Pioneers and also to the
public in general. In the course OF
his remarks Mr.. Steinhauser, re-
calling events of 1862, said that things
for time looked very disheartening
to the early settlers on that memorable
day of the first battle Of New Ulm,
when unaided and alone they held in
check and drove back the savage Sioux.
Important Historical Event.
In the opinion of the speaker the
first battle of New Ulm is perhaps the
most important event in the history
of New Ulm, outside of the founding
of the city itself. If the savages had
won out on that memorable day,
August 10, 1862, the chances are that
the entire community would have been
massacred, there would have been nc
pioneers left and there would be nc
Junior Pioneers to commemorate the
deeds of their forefathers today.
Keep Memory Green.
Speaking of the purposes Of the
Junior Pioneers, Mr.. Steinhause,
stated that their main object is tt
beautify the city of New Ulm and ope1
up to the public all the beauty spot
in the immediate vicinity of the city
to keep green the memory Of the earl,
pioneers and in every other way hell
to build up this community. Although
handicapped by the World War, tn
Junior Pioneers since their organiza
ton eight years ago had placed quit
few markers to indicate histori
spots, erected a monument In tn
town of Milford to honor the menor.
Of those citizens of the town who ha'
fallen victims to the savage Siou
August, 1862, and have also erected
log cabin in Turner Park as a me
mortal to the oldpioneers.
