EX-NEW ULMITE
ALMOST KILLED
c. w. Al. HEIDEMANN VICTIM
OF AN AssAULT ON HIS
WESTERN RANCH.
EMPLOYE ATTACKS HIM WITH
A SHOTGUN. RECOVERY
is DOUBTFUL.

An interesting clipping from the
Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Wash,
of Monday, March Z, was sent us last
week by friend residing in that city.
It refers to an assault perpetrated up
on C. w. III. Heidemann, a former,
well-known New Ulmite, on his ranch
near Bonners Ferry, Idaho, by an
employe. The clipping reads as fol-
lows: @
Peppered With Birdshot.
Boomers Ferry, Idaho, March g.
His arms and body peppered with
birdshot and his head cut open by
blow from a rock, C. w. III. Heide-
mann, who says his employe, George
Yodelkranz, attacked him, is in a
serious condition.
The shooting occurred this forenoon
at the ranch of Mr.. Heidemann, nine
miles northeast Of Bonners Ferry. Mr..
Heidemann and Yodelkranz started
out hunting. A short, distance from
the cabin Yodelkranz, without any
provication, Mr.. Heidemann says,
turned and shot Heidemann three
times, then cut Heidemann's head
open with rocks and thinking his victim
dead started to run. DR.. E. E.. Fry
gave Mr.. Heidemann aid and he was
brought to the Bonners Ferry hospital.
Il
Mr.. Heidemann has been in this
county for nine years, He is a gradu-
ate of Johns Hopkins University and
is prominent throughout this county
as lecturer and expert grower of seed
potatoes. He was recently elected
secretary of the Farm Bureau for
Boundary county. Yodelkranz has
not been caught. It is thought he is
insane, as he was some time in the in
sane asylum at Oroino, Idaho.
Was Prominent Here.
1 Mr.. Heidemann was for many years
employed as station agent for the
4 Northwestern railroad in New Ulm
4 and during his long residence here be.

branch Of the State Legislature during
I the session Of 1889 and was at ont
time secretary Of the Brown County
], Agricultural Society.
i Renowned Horticulturist.
During his residence in this city, Mr.

horticulture and attained considerable
fame in this work. Plums were hi

TWO STILLS AND MUCH
MASH FOUND IN RAIDS
sMoonshine'' Also Discovered by
Federal Prohibition Agent in =
Nicollet County.

A federal prohibition enforcement
agent swooped down upon illicit liquor
manufactures in Nicollet county,
Wednesday, and succeeded in locating
and confscating two stills, having a
combined capacity OF about one and
a half gallons an hour. A 30-gallon
still was found on the Charles Pla-
mann farm and an apparatus of 20
gallons capacity was discovered on
the Louis Haas farm, both in New
Sweden township, about a mile apart.
On the former place, about 100 gallons
of rye mash was found with the still.
The apparatus was located in a small
building on the farm and showed
every evidence of recent activity.
Fifty gallons of mash and about a
gallon of smoonshine'' were con
fscated on the Haas farm. Both stills
were made of copper.
The prohibition enforcement agent
also visited Nicollet and found about
a quart of "moonshine" behind the
bar of the John E. Meyers soft drink
parlor in that village. It is said the
illicit liquor was contained in pitcher,
standing convenient to water drain,
where the contents could easily be
emptied in an emergency. The bar
tender was busy at the stove when the
federal officer entered the place. The
latter seized the pitcher containing the
liquor and sent it to Minneapolis with
the stills.
No arrests were made, but the three
men were told to await further orders
from the government. This was the
first raid by a federal officer to take
place in Nicollet county. 1t was ap-
parent that the location of the two
stills was known to the authorities, for
the officer descended upon the farms
without warning.

SAVE BABIES
and MOTHERS.
BILL PROVIDES STATE AID
FOR MATERNITY CASES
IN MINNESOTA.
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WILL
GIVE SO. 900 AND SUM
EQUAL TO STATES.

. sFiifty-six thousand babies born each
year in Minnesota and fifty-six thous-
and mothers will be saved much need
less sickness and DEATH" states DR..
g. =. .Scofeld, president of the Mime
sofa Public Health Asso ciation, '1iif the
state legislature takes advantage of
the Sheppard-To owner bill for the pro-
tection of maternity and infancy.
Senator Carley has introduced bill
into the Legisla ture to give Minnesota
mothers and babies theaopportunities
of health offered in the Sheppard
Towner bill. Under the provisions of
this measure, instruction in the hy-
giene Of maternity and infancy and,
where necessary, medical and nursing
care in homes or at a hospital will be
available to every Minnesota mother.
The Federal government is supporting
the work to the extent Of giving $10,-
900 annually to each state making
provisions for carrying out the bill,
and in addition to that an amount
equal to the sum appropriated by the
state. The appropriation proposed in
Minnesota is $20,663.18. The passage
of the bill will mean that Minnesota
will have $6l,326.36 to spend during
the next two years for saving the lives
and health of mothers and babies. Y
How much this work is needed is
well illustrated in the number Of
mothers and infants who die every,
year from causes which will be con-
trolled by the enactment of the bill.
In one year, 1919, 1882 infants under
one year of age died in Minnesota,
principally because their mothers did
not know how to care for health before
and after the baby's birth. That same
year, 259 mothers gave up their lives,
because, II lnoss "a they ilad not
had the proper care before and at
childbirth. These mothers died at
the time of their lives when they were
most needed. The loss of the mother
decreases the baby's chance OF survival.
These 259 mothers and the 1882
babies should have been saved.
The United States loses in one
year more babies under one year OF
age than the entire number Of American
soldiers killed during the war. More
women die of causes connected with
childbirth than of any other disease,
except tuberculosis. It has been sue
cessfully demonstrated that this
wastage Of life and health can be pre-
vented by instruction, proper facilities
for care, and available medical advice.
Minnesota will be given all these if the
proposed bill is passed and the pro-
visions Of the Sheppard Towner act
become applicable
DR.. Scofeld urges all those who wish
to see this saving accomplished to
notify their legislators of their opinion
on the bill.

WEEKS DRIVE PLANNED
FOR PUREBRED PoULTR
General Campaign in Favor of
Standardized Birds in Min
nesota.

Agricultural extension division men
OF the university recommend that the
week OF. April 4 to 9 be desginated
everywhere in the state as Standard
Bred Poultry Week. Officers of poul-
try associations and farm bureaus,
county club leaders, high school agri-
sculturists, breeders of standardized
stock and editors of the state are being
asked to push for the general observ-
ance Of the week and the increase of
standardized focks on Minnesota
farms. Standardized birds are more
profitable than scrub varieties. Their
eggs may be sold for Matching in the
spring when egg prices are generally
lowest. Breeding stock also brings
greater returns than market poultry.

TWO BIG HOG BARNS FOR
NICOLLET COUNTY FAIR;
lans Provide Accommodation for
zoo Porkers at Cost Of $4,000.
5ss Special Meet.

special mass meeting and dinner
VIII be arranged at st. Peter in the
near future for the purpose of dis
cusslng plans for the erection Of two
large new hog barns on the Nicollet
County 'utlnty Fair Grounds IN that city
during the coming summer. This
gathering was decided upon at Joint
meeting OF committees representing
the Nicollet County Agricultural
Society and the Nicollet County Live
stock Breeders Association, held at the
offices OF County Agent o. o. Horlamus
IN st. Peter last Tuesday.
The estimated cost Of the two
structures is approximately $4,000.
They will be about 120 feet long and
20 feet wide and will accommodate
some 200 hogs. 1t is planned to model
the buildings after those erected on the
State Fair Grounds year ago, build
ing them without sides, with pens 6x8
teet The University Farm has al
ready been requested to furnish de-
tailed plans for the new hog barns,
Whereupon more definite figures as to
the construction cost can be arrived
at.
A large new hog barn was erected
on on the Brown County Fair Grounds in
New Ulm last year and was filed to
overfioWing with prize porkers during
the Fair last fall. 1t will probably be
necessary to provide another similar
structure this year.
A crew of carpenters is busily at
work remodeling the front part Of
what was formerly the shoe and crock
cry department Of Crone Bros Co.'S
big department. store to accommodate
the ready-to-wear department Of the
same establishment, which heretofore
has been located in the rear Of the dry
goods department.

The general cattle market seems to
rest on firm foundation at the present
time. While receipts are expanding
moderately, supplies are being alb
sorbed readily and the country seems
to have renewed faith in the market
as demand for stockers and feeders has
been continually gaining in volume
during the past months. Best kinds
of fat cattle and stockers and feeders
advanced Csc to SOC last week and were
disposed of at about steady prices at
this weeks opening. A feature Of
current markets is the appearance of a
good grade of beef steers, load lots
selling up to 1926 and $685., with odd
lots as high as $3.50. A fair showing
of sales is being made at $8.25 to $500,
with bulk ranging from $500 to $8.25.
Strictly choice fat heifers are bringing
from So 90 to So. so, with good to choice
cows on Mondays market as high as
$3.50, and bulk Of all sales from $3.50
to $500 Gamers and cutters are
moving largely from $3.50 to $4.O0,
with bologna bulls mostly at $500 to
$500. Veal calves opened this weak
on a steady basis, best light vealers
selling at $1,000. Heavy feeders of
good to choice grade are selling readily
from $3.50 to $3.50, with few below
$500, and good to choice stockers,
weighing from $3.50 pounds down, are
going largely from $500 to $500.
Part Of the loss sustained in hogs
late last week was regained at this
weeks opening, when averages moved
up fully .25c. Range Monday was
$3.50 to $1O.75, with bulk from $1,000
to $1,000, and desirable pigs at $11.50
to $11.75, Lamb market opened on
weak basis, with best quotable around
1918, and choice handyweight ewes
around $5,75. Gne double Of choice
s98-pound yearling wethers brought
$3.50 on Monday.

WIZ uF fss 5. YER 1oE
FOR COUNCILLOR IN THE
THIRD WARD.
POLITICS USUALLY QUIET
IN FIRST AND SECOND
WARDS OF CITY.

- / u {
The political pot in the Third ward
was brought to the boiling point,
Saturday afternoon, when Charles
'Kuehlbach decided to toss his SOM
brero into the circle in opposition to
William S. Vercoe, who filed his nomi-
mating petition with City Clerk William
P. Backer, Monday morning. Mr..
Kuehlba chs petition is being circulated
at the present time. Both gentlemen
have host of friends who are backing
them to the limit and the outcome of
this contest will be watched with
interest.
No Other Contests.
From all appearance, Councillors
Otto F. Oswald and Karl H. Aufder-
.heide of the First and Second wards,
respectively, will succeed themselves,
as no opposition has thus far de-
veloped in either case and politics is
unusually quiet in both wards. This
being an 3'off year, = SO to speak, when
only councillors are to be elected, ac-
counts in great measure to the
political Indifference manifested.
March 26, Last Day.
Saturday, March 26, being the
second Saturday preceding the city
election, which will be held Tuesday,
April 5, is the last day upon which
nominating petitions of candidates for
councillor may be filed with the city
clerk. While there is still a week and
a half in which prospective candidates
may decided to make the race, chances
are that the Third ward contest will be
the only one on at the battle of ballots.

AGGREGATE s35, 900

At joint meeting of the board Of
trustees and the members of the build
ing committee of ST. Paul's Ev. Luther
an church, which was held at the
church, Sunday afternoon, it was de.
clded to reject al of the bids received
for the general contract of erecting the
proposed addition to the. Lutheran
parochial school here, as the total cost
OF the new structure would greatly
exceed the amount subscribed for this
purpose, based upon the figures sub
mltted. Bids on the plumbing and
heating contracts have not been con-
sidered by the building committee, as
yet, as but a limited number has been
received.

Architect A. G. Plagens Of this city, +
who prepared the original plans and
specifications for the addition, upon
which the bids for the general contract
were based, was instructed to draw
up new plans, Incorporating the many
changes which have been agreed upon
to reduce the cost. Mr.. Plagens $ex-
poets to have these plans completed
by the latter part of April, when they
are to be presented for consideration.
To Cost About $35, 900.
It is planned to keep the cost OF the
school addition down so that it will
not exceed the amount already sub
scribed for this purpose, which is
$4,000. This figure is to include the
cost Of the building complete, if pos
sible. Heretofore, two different
Iground dimensions have been con-
sidered, one being 50x70 and the other
5Ox80 feet. It has now been definitely
decided to accept the former dirnen-

in knitted wool fabrics that prove the
most practical for all swimmers. They
are close fitting and substantial, and
therefore convenient and warm, pro-

For swimming and play in the water
there is nothing else so good and they
are made in several simple styles that
slip on or button at the front or on
the shoulders. Two Of them are shown
in the picture above.
There are suits in other styles and
of other materials for children who
spend much time on the beach and
are occasionally in the water. Red
or dark blue flannel is very practical
for them and they are sometimes mere
ly straight, belted short dress. to he
worn over trunks, or waist and

often used for trimming them, espe-
cially for the dark blue suits or some
times black. braid is chosen for red
ones.
