LEAVES FOR ST. PAUL.

4 = =
Audi Mansoor expects to leave for
st. Paul, today, to take possession of
the Seven Corners Apron Shop, which
he recently pure chased from his cousin,
Jacob Abraham, who will return to
his old home, Jerusalem, Palestine, in
January for a visit with his parents,
brothers and sisters. Mr.. Mansoor
came to America from the Holy Land
about nine years ago. Through mere
chance he located in New Ulm in May,
1914, and he was SO we'll pleased with
our beautiful little city and the
hospitality Of its inhabitants, that he
decided to remain here, and this has
since been his home. Through his un-
firing efforts and friendly courteous
manner, he has built up good sized
patronage in this section, and is rather.
reluctant to leave his many friends,
but the opportunities offered in st.
Paul are very promising and he felt
that he could not afford to ignore them.
Mr.. Mansoor asked the Reuiew to ex-.
press for him his appreciation of the
many kindnesses extended to him
by our readers, and says. that his
friends will always find a welcome if
they call on him at his new location
near Seven Corners, st. Paul.

DOUBLE LIGHT.
DRIVER is ExONERATED FROM
ALL BLAME. VERDICT
SAYS ACCIDENT.

A deplorable accident, which cul-
minated fatally for Ernest Mathwig,
well-known farmer residing about
three miles south Of Gaylord, occurred
just on the outskirts of that village,
Friday evening at about 6 o clock. Mr.
Mathwig suffered. fracture OF the
base of the skullyand died within an
hour.
Double Lights Confusing.
The unfortunte man was struck by
Ford roadster driven by Herbert
johnson Of Klossner, employed in the
Klossner Creamery, who was returning
home after having attended court at.

brought by DR.. J. 7. Jacobson, Win
throp veterinarian, against Martin
Sylvester. George Scheman Of Win
throp was driving into Gaylord and
the two cars met at the place Of the
accident 1t is believed, that Mr..
Mathwig, who was walking in the
center Of the street, although there is a
sidewalk on either side, became con-
fused by the double lights, and the
lights Of the Scheman car partly blind

about FL.
Struck While Falling.
From the evidence revealed at the
coroner's inquest, which was con-
Quoted by Coroner DR.. w. P. Olson Of
Gaylord before jurymen shortly
after the accident, Mr.. Mathwig must
have stumbled and fell, being struck
by the roadster while falling, as a part
of the car hit him on the cheek and
caused the skull fracture. A hem orr
hage resulted shortly afterWard, and
the injured man died within an hour.

FIRE DAMAGE AT
Old CITY PLANT
BLAZE CAUSED BY ELECTRIC
WIRES CUTS BUILDING
LAST NIGHT.
HIGH WIND HANDIcAPs FIRE
LADIES. INSURANCE
COVERS LOSS.

Famed by a high wind from the
northwest, fire badly damaged the
old municipal electric light and water
plant on First North street, last night
and but for the valiant work Of the
local Fire Department, the structure
would have been doomed, as the blaze
was rampant between the ceilin6
and roof of the building, over the
boiler room. The conflagration was
discovered at about Z o'clock by work
men in the new municipal plant,
which adjoins the old structure to the
west, and it required nearly three
hours of hard work on the part of the
fire laddies to extinguish the blaze.
Wind Causes ConAagration.
| The exact cause of the fire is not
known, but it is believed that the high
wind caused an arc between main lead
|ielectric wires from which the insula-
Etion had been worn off. The blaze
originated in the cupola on the roof.
About year ago, a similar fire was
discovered in time to be extinguished
before it had gained sufficient head
way to do any damage.
Machinery Water-soaked.
The machinery still in the old plant,
including two steam engines, dynamos,
water pumps and switchboard, was
water-soaked, but the fremen sue
ceeded in preventing the flames from
reaching it. While it will require
some time to clean up and make the
necessary minor repairs on this ma
chinery, the loss is not very great, due
to the fact that the heat of the fire did
not penetrate that part OF the structure
to any considera BILE extent.
Insurance Expired Sunday.
The old municipal plant was insured
for SAC, ZOO, of which one-half was on
the structure and the other half on the
contents. This policy expired Sum
day noon, but the city council secured
a renewal in ample time to safeguard
the city. The new policy is for half
| the former amount, which is equally
divided on the structure and contents,
as it was believed that $40, 600 would
cover the loss, should the plant be
destroyed by fire.
Southside in Darkness.
The south end Of the city was in
total darkness from the beginning Of
| the fire until about midnight, and as a
result, the Revieau plant was minus
light and power, so that we were un-
able to print this weeks issue until to-
day "wednesday. just as soon as
4 the fire was extinguished and it was
safe for workmen to enter the badly
charred building, Superintendent Her
A bert .Huevelmann had his men busy
making the necessary connections and
alterations to provide electricity to the
south end of the city.
