Gently, this action did not release them
from the obligation Of paying taxes,

The men involved failed to liquidate

that failure te pay the taxes, penalties

DONATE $40 TO ASSIST

Each of Local High Schoo Classes
Contributes $40 for Use in
Central Europe.

Christmas cheer is .pervading the
atmosphere at the New -Ulm high
school, for the students have demon
strated that their heartstrings respond
to the pitiful cry for assistance which
comes to us over the ocean from stu
dents and professors in Central Euro
ipean countries. 'Fhe children and
young people there are mot only
suffering from bodily want, but also
from the effects of the World wal
upon the institutions Of learning, high
and low.
AS a result, an appeal has been sent
to generous America for funds to per
nit the giving Of instruction in the
schools and colleges of Central Europe,
and fund for this purpose has been
established by the American Relief
sAdministra ton, s'of which Herbert
Hoover istchair11an. The money will
be distributed equitably and economic
ally under Mr.. Hoover's administra-
ton. ;..s
Each Of The four local high school

tributed the munifcent sum Of $40

In a letter received Monday by a
local friend and co-worker in the great
cause Of feeding the starving children
of Germany and Austria, Rev. %. r.
Purdy, pastor Of the Friends church
in Minneapolis, and who delivered an
interesting address and mastery ap-
peal for assistance at recent meeting
held in this city, imparts the informa-
tion that the American Friends Ser
vice Committee, which has under
taken the laudable task of helping the
poor, dying children Of Central Europe,
has Joined hands with seven other
organizations in forming European
Relief Council, Of which Herbert
Hoover is chairman.
Care for $4,000 Children.
The purpose Of this Council is to
care for, until next harvest, 3,500,000
European children who look to Ameri7
can charity for medical care, food
and clothing. This stupendous piece
Of work will cost $33,000,000. That
the fund will be eficientlysand econom--
ically administered is amply bornefout
by Mr.. Hoover's past performances in
similar work.
The eight organizations making up
the Council are the American Friends
Service Committee, Federal Council Of
the churches of Christ in !. America,
Y. M. C. A., American Red Gross,
Jewish Joint Distribution Committee,
Y. W. C. a., American Relief Adj
ministration and the knights of Co
lubmus. These organizations are each
lending to this campaig every, possible
aid.
Exuect Local Assistance.
In his letter, Rev. Purdy states that
the people of New Ulm have, in the
past, evidenced interest in the work
that the Friends have been doing,
(which they deem a warrant that in this
lscampaign they may. count upon our

YOUNG MANS LIFE !.
SAVED by WATCH.
JOSEPH PUCHNER NARROWLY y
ESCAPES DEATH WHILE N
HUNTING, SUNDAY.
SHOTGUN CHARGE LODGES IN
LEFT ARM. ;DEMOLISHES
HIS TIMEPIECE.

oOme people may not greatly value
timepiece that has been demolished
by charge from shotgun, but we
venture the assertion that there is one
young man in New Ulm who thinks
more Of his watch today, after it has
been rendered practically useless as
the result Of meeting up with such san
accident, than he. did prior to Sunday
afternoon, and anyone who will read
the following account Of Mr.. Puchner's
narrow escape, must agree with him.
Gun Accidentally Discharges.
Mr.. tPuchner, who lis one Of FNew
Ulm's most popular young men, went
out rabbit hunting, Sunday morning,
in company with his brother, William
Puchner, and Alois Eibner. They. left
the city in the Eibner motor truck
about O clock and drove to the Golden
Gate eighbofho6d, some 18 miles
from here. William was carrying.
his shotgun over his shoulder, as is
the custom of many hunters. 1t is
double -barreled, hammerless gun. In
some unacco countables manner the 'weap-'
ion was accidentally discharged, all
though the young men maintain that
it had been set on safety.
Watch Saved His Life.
Joesph was walking along q short
distance behind his brother at the
time. Apparently the barrel Of the he
shotgun was pointed downward when
it was discharged, asspart Of the char ge'
lodged in ] oseph's left forear ,sab out
four inches above the wrist, while the
balance of the Shot struck his watch. J.
which he carried in the lower left-h1a'nd :1;' !
pocket Of his vest. The timep1ece'
was so badly demolished by the little
fleaden pellets that it was rendered
practically useless, but it served the
purpose of saving it's owners life, for
ia roun mark about the size 1of the.
watch was plainly. visible on the
young mans body just at the point
where the timepiece had reposed an y.
his vest pocket. Il
No Shots in Body. b,
This circumstance would indicate
that the watch was struck with con I:
siderable force and was pressed against
.Puchner's body in such, a manner to
cause the mark as result Of the I'M. I.
pact. Not single shot lodged In his
body, all Of the pellets striking the e.
watch. That he was not more serious
|ly injured is considered a miracle.
: Brought to New sUlnn. .3%.
The accident occurred shortly be-
fore 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon.
The two companions of the injured
young man. hurried back to town with
him and. brought him to the Loretto
Hospital, where he was Immediately
placed under the care of physician
The flesh of his left forearm is badly
|lacerated, but the bone was not IN n
|jured and he will recover the 'u~nTe7 ~
stricted use OF the member, unless
unforeseen complications set in. AS I
a result Of the accident he will not be
able to attend to his duties as sales
man.ain the clothing department OF
Crone Bros store for several weeks.

LIGHT FREIGHT TRAFFIC AND
FAVORABLE WEATHER
CAUSE SLACK.

Nine car repair men and one oiler In
the employ of the Northwestern road
at New Ulm we're temporarily laid off, J,
Saturday, on account of slackness of
work.. due. in a great measure to the
Light freight traffic and the favorable
weather that have prevailed for several !
weeks past. c Comparatively few freight
shipments are moving at the present
time and there has been no inclement
or wintry weather to cause trouble on
the railroads. At the same time, it can
| be stated that the railroads all over the
country curtail the number of their
yard and shop employees more or less
during the winter months of every
year. The factEthat this year has: been
an unusually seasonable one, merely
increases the number of workmen that
are temporarily laid of.
Youngest Men Given Time.
The statement OF local newspapers
to the effect that the 'fold-timers' !,
among the local ear repair men have
been given their time, Isl nphatically
denied by Foreman John Karl Of the
Eloeal shops, as well as by the shop
lmen themselves. The fact of the
matter is that the youngest men in
the service we're laid off Saturday, and
as far as Mr.. Karl knows, this is the
entire extent of the curtailment in the
emp ployment lists this winter. The
men will all be given an opportunity
| to resume their work as soon as con-
ditions permit; which may not be
prior to next spring, however. All Of
|sthem were given five days notice and
Imost of the men will be able to find
other employment to tide them over
the dull season.
% Still Employed.
The employees who were given their
time, Saturday, are: Charles Schrei-
! ner, Joseph Herzog, George Grote,
John Lindmeyer, Henry Hogen, John
Floetl, Charles Evers, George Polta
and John Zangel, all car repair men
and Norbert Herzog, oiler. There are

the delay in network of erecting the

which was caused mainly by the failure
of the arrival Of structural steel. Tt

has been resumed, however, and if
no more delays ensue, it is expected
that the building will be completed

Flood Control Discussed.
Mayor T.. A. Fritsche called the at
tentiion off 3ff The city fathers to,the pros
posed construction Of a large reservoir
in the Minnesota river opposite New
Ulm and stated that he intended
calling apublic mass meeting at the
Ecourts room in the courthouse, Tuesday
afternoon, December %, for the pur-
pose Of: publicly discussing this project
City Engineer F. D.. Minium reported
that he had sascertained that the con-
struction fof the proposed reservoir
would cause serious damage to the
property Of the Eagle Roller Mill Co.,
Eas, well as render the three bridges over
the Minnesota river and the Bentzin
Eand Alvin bridges spanning the
/ Cottonwood river useless. Aside from
that, a number of Easements in the
east end of the city would also be
flooded, were the reservoir to bees
tablished here.
First Addition Plated.
Koch's first addition to New Ulm
is the name sof the first subdivision
in this city. This addition has been
plated into IL blocks and some so
lots and forms a part of the estate of
the late E. G. Koch, adjoining Her
mann's Park. The plat submitted
by attorney Henry N. somsen was
approved by the council and ordered
placed on. file with the city clerk, as
was new plat Of Center street, made
by City Engineer Minium. Both
charts will also be made permanent
records by fling them with the county
auditor and,the register of deeds.
Other City Business.
The matter Of requiring the pro-
prietors Of local soft drink establish
ments to secure license, was broached
by Councillor Karl II. Aufderheide.
1t is possible that an ordinance will
be prepared by the city attorney, at
the instance of the council, regulating
the conduct sof local refreshment
parlors sand. also the matter of allowing
minors ito frequent them. Further
more it has been limited that an effort
will be made to curb games Of chance
including gambling, in these places iof
business. So
iContractor Lars Dvern wassa allowed
the final estimate in the sum of S;s2,-
596.70 on his contract for constructing
the sewer on Valley street. The sum
Of 81, ,40O.F was allowed Contractor
]. G. Robertson as part payment for
equipment furnished by him fer the
new municipa plant.
The request Of Frank Schleif for
lpool table license was granted.
The matter Of levying assessments
against the abutting property for the
construction Of the sewer on Valley
street was referred to the board Of

BONUS BILL GOING
TOWARD EXTINCTION
Will at Keast Go Over Until
Late Summer or
Autumn.

Washington, May 24.-The project
to grant a bonus to soldiers, after
being a political football in the house
Of representatives fer 49, months,
now seems definitely on its way
toward extinction.
ITS proponents will make efforts to
jam it through in the few days re-
naming before congress recesses to
enable it's members to look after their
own interests during the political
conventions. The opposition Of the
minority, backed by a sizeable group
Of republicans, will prevent this, it
is generally conceded.
Even il the lower chamber should
succeed in passing the measure, it
is inconceivable that the Senate
would approve the largest peacetme
revenue bill in history with scant
d~eliberation.
If It did, a presidential veto wo1ld
be in order. 1t is not believed Likely
President Wilson would sanction leg
islation to which Secretary Houston
has voiced strong opposition, even
with the lack Of coordination exI
listing in executive branches.
So the bonus will go over until late
summer or autumn, and probably will
not be revised unless it finds it's way
into the campaign.

Would Rather Find

Mrs. Edward !. Edwards.

Washington, May 24.-Twenty-five
hundred dollars reward for the cap
ture of Grover Cleveland Bergdoll,
escaped draft dodger was offered to-
day by Bergdolls Attorneys, General
Answell and Edward S. Bailey, Wash
ington and d. Clarence Gibboney
Philadelphia.
The reward offer is taken as Ans
wells statement hat he will try to
make good his promise following
Bergdoll's sensational escape from
two guards in Philadelphia Friday.
Reports received here, indicate the
announcement that Bergdoll had
hidden s150,ooO near Hagerstown, has
started a gold rush among inhabit-
ants, who would rather find the gold
than the reward.
Government officials are aiding in
the search for Bergdoll but no news
concerning him has been received.
1t was learned today that when
General Answell went to the war de-
partment Friday to report BergdolIs
escape, Secretary Baker refused to
see him. The reason is said to be
feeling aroused by Answell's attack
on the court martial system while
Answell was nm officer in the judge
advocate Generals department.
