Sunday should have been the Thir-
teenth and a Friday to account for the
hoodoo that seemed to trail some OF
the members of the classes Of the New
Ulm Turnverein who had been asked
to put their Chicago exhibition num-
bers on for the entertainment Of the
visitors at Young America who were
celebrating the. Goth anniversary Of
their Maennerchor. Such series Of
mishaps seldom falls to the lbt Of any
one party as they went thru before
they reached their destination and
again on their return home in the small
hours of the night but every ody got
home at last, considerably shaken up
and bearing some scratches as souven-
irs, but little The worse for their ex-
citing trip. I.
A party Of ten actives and ten ladies',
accompanied by their instructor, Mr..
Leibold, left he ~ Sunday morning
about 9 O'clock. Those who were in
the party were the same as those who
went.to Chicago to represent the Turn
verein at the National funniest last
June with the exception Of Kurt Bell
who did not go to Chicago and there
fore must have been the Jinx for the
Chicago party certainly got into no
such trouble as the Young America
party did. At any rate, Kurt is
willing to assume the blame Of the
lhoodoo, since he was intevery car that
met with mishap Sunday.
Hard on Cars.
Some six cars left New Ulm and the
first trouble developed at Klbssner
when the Ford they were driving
played out and refused to go another
rod after they had pushed it up the
Klossner Hill. The Ford passengers
then piled into the Niemann Mash
that Frank was driving, loading it to
the hubs with ten healthy young peo-
pie. Frank thought he would show
those who were ahead what the Nash
could do and attempted to catch them.
Instead he succeeded in burning out a
bearing. This happened near Gay
lord. There they hired REQ and pro-
ceeded more or Yess merrily towards
but not to Young America.
Oh, no, it wasn't so easy as that.
Just before reaching Plato, biff, bang,
a blowout! and the next thing they
knew the rescuing REQ tipped over in
the middle of the road, the driver
seeming to lose control. They were
on the Yellowstone Highway with
plenty of room for the tumble and no.
body was much hurt altho we'll shaken
up and down. At Plato they tele-
phoned ahead to Young America and
Franklin ,Brust and Mr.. Engelbert,
who had taken the rest of the party
safely to their destination came back
after them. They finally arrived in
Young America, somewhat the worse
for wear but still on top. They had
missed most of the afternoon doings
but were in time to give their own ex-
hibition at Z in the evening at the
Young America ball park and to at
/ tend The dance that closed the festivi-
ties. There had been a ball game be
tween a Fort Smelling team and the
Young America boys, but the New Ulm
people were in no frame Of mind to be
much excited about a mere ball game
latter what they had gone thru. I.
Home Coming Adventures.
Three Of those who had so much
trouble to get to Young America tool

await Thomas SPfaender who wa.
driving one of the cars. Thomas was
to take his first cargo home to New
Ulm and then go back to Winthrop Il
gather in the stragglers. This part o
the program worked all right until they
loaded the official hoodoo into Thomas
Ford and started on the last lap o
their journey, as they supposed. Blu
something more had to happen, and i
ibid. They missed the road and in
Istead of finding themselves in New
Ulm when they drove into a little city
they discovered that they were pay
ling Gibbon an unexpected visit. How
ever, once set right there, they reachet
home without further adventures abou
four o'clock in the morning and decided
to callit a'day. /!
