COULDN'T PULL new
ULM STUFF IN KAT0

According to the story which
Is going the rounds just at pres
ent, Mankato young men are
"wise," and do not fall for the
smiles of pretty girl strangers,
who intimate that they would
like something to drink "a wee
bit stronger than water" The
way the story goes, two very
pretty girls, dressed ito KILL"
arrived in Mankato few days
ago, and one evening were TAX
en- out for a spin by a number Of
the young men. Becoming tired
of entertaining conversation and
the scenery, the young ladies
casually remarked that they
would just love to have a drink
with a kick in It," The young
Lochinvars regretted very much
to be in any way rude to the
fair Helens, but could not re-
sist the temptation of smiling
and replying: "No New Ulm
stuff goes in this town, we are
wise to that game" The young
ladies professed innocence, but
the boys were suspicious, and it
is said that the auto spin soon
ended.

GOODS VALUE AT $4,000
ROBBERY OCCURRED AT
GOOD THUNDER
Store of Wiedenheft Brothers
Was Entered; Silks Were
Taken

The Good Thunder Herald tells the
story of the robbery of the store
owned by the Wiedenheft Brothers
in that city. The store was entered
early Sunday morning. The thieves
helped themselves to some of the
most valuable articles in the store,
later leaving in car for parts un-
known. The loss is, estimated at
about $4,000, and included silk and
other high priced dress material. silk
stockings, ties, waists and a pair of
ladies' shoes.
Entrance was gained through the
back door of the store by cutting
away enough from one panel to make
it possible to draw the bars. The Sc
lection Of the goods was done by a
practical hand as only the most val
liable articles that would not take up
much room were selected.
About one o'clock a mysterious
and queer acting stranger was en-
countered by Arthur Sohre when he
entered his own store to attend to
something he had neglected and on
being seen the man asked for a ga
rage so he might get a tulb for his
Ford car. He was directed to the A.
"
cured the light for him. At the time
the man said his car was stalled in
the country.
About the same time Martin NAL
Zahn saw a car standing near the
track near the G.. A Graf home with
woman sitting alone in 1t. Mr..
Malzahn drove around the block and
returned to the car, thinking that the
occupant of the car was in trouble.
Upon asking her what was wrong
with the car and if she needed any
assistance in getting started, the
woman did not answer him. so Mr..
Malzahn drove on home and forgot
the matter.
ried from the store to where the car
wds left standing, as a small piece
of silk was found next day in the
alloy quite a distance from the store.
1t is thought, however, that the wo-
man did the selecting while the man
kept watch at the front of the store,
as a man was seen pacing hack and
forth on the street at about the hour
the burglary is supposed to have been
committed.
&c. A. Wiedenheft visited the store
at about noon on Sunday and was
shocked to find everything in disor-
der, empty boxes and goods being
scattered about on the floor. The au
thorities were notified and they start
ed working on the case at once but
the thieves had a long start and to
date nothing has been heard from
them. 1t is certain, however, that
they went to Mankato because a Cal
with a man and woman and a cargo
of suit cases was helped out of the
ditch north of town before daylight
that morning by R. E. Campbell and
Otto Possin. They had evidently
tried to make the sharp turn near
the Campbell farm at a fast rate OF
speed and ran off the grade and into
soft ground.
THE burglar must have been ia
miliar with conditions around VIE
denheft's store as no time seems to
have been wasted in gaining an en-
trance. Then, too, there ar no fam
ileis living in the immediate vicinity
to hear in case of noise"

Chicago, July 16.-Wheat under

day. The market opened all the way
from unchanged figures to 91a cents
lower, and soon was down 101a cents

ber, the principal speculative deliv
cry. The big tumble in values was
attributed more to lack of buying or

touched for December, as against

witty broadened materially in the
market after the setback in prices.

100000 bushels had changed hands.

REGARDING COAL SHIPMENTS.
S. n. Grannis Is In Receipt OF Let


ter From The I. c. c.
S. H. Grannis Coal company OF
this city, is in receipt Of a letter
from the interstate commerce com
mission, bureau of service, at Wash
ington, D. c., in reply to a protest
against the present practice of rail-
roads of assigning cars preterenti-
ally to mines for railroad loading.
The reply of the bureau states that
the commission bv its direction of
April Is. 1920, authorized railroads to
restore the assigned car rule in ef-
feet for many years prior to federal
control. In this connection the
commission explained that it must
bile interest that railroads be allow
ed by proper means to assure them
selves of regular and adequate sup
ply of coal. Otherwise they can not
operate their trains and serve the
public. The commission explained
that it had no theory of it's own to
exploit with respect to this question.
During the federal control when cars
were pooled, and when the coal ad-
ministratAr exercised authority over
the fuel supply, the practice of as
signing cars preferentially to the
mines for railroad fuel was dis
continued. During this period coal
was confiscated by the carriers in
great quantities which caused con-
siderable controversy and agitation
between the carriers and coal ship
pers.
The communication states that on
June 10, an order was issued pro-
viding that east of the Mississippi
river for period of 80 days should
furnish coal mines with open top
cars suitable for the loading of coal
in preference to other uses. 1t is ex-
pected that this order will produce a
substantial improvement in the coal
situation
