PAV.lLloN DANCES
MAY B'T ABOOED
LID WILL BE CLAMPED DOWN
UNLESS BETTER ORDER
WILL PREVAIL.
DISTURBANCES BY ROWDIES
CAUSE OF COMPLAINTS.
OFFICER NAMED.

Repeated complaints relative to the
conduct of a certain few rowdies at
pavilion dances in the vicinity of New
Ulm, who have imbibed rather freely
in home brew and, as consequence
have become quarrelsome and OBJ.
noxious, resulted in the appointment
early last week of Theodore Burns as
deputy sheriff Of Cottonwood and Lin
den townships and statement from
County Attorney w. 7. Eckstein that
the troublesome places in Brown
county will be closed unless better
order prevails at future terpsichoreant
events.
Roughnecks Disturb Peace.
It is said thattrouble at these dances
is usually precipitated by a small
number of roughnecks, who imagine
that the only way they can amuse
themselves is to fill up on moonshine
and then pick quarrel with other
attendants. AS a result of drinking
white mule" they become wild-eyed
Indians and proceed to s'start some
thing" The greatest trouble-ma
are, or should be, well known to the
#proprietors Of the dance pavilions, and
lit is up to the latter to refuse them
admittance. Otherwise there is a
possibility that the authorities will
step in and declare them public
nuisance.
Considerable Fighting.
Sunday night, at a dance in pa
vilion in Nicollet county, near New
Ulm, a fstic battle royal was pre-
Fcipitated, when four or five parties
attacked one of The dancers. "a
general rough house followed and for
a time it looked rather dangerous, for
chairs and other ''persuaders'' were
used as weapons Of offense and defense.
Considerable excitement prevailed, es-
pecially among the lady dancers, some
Of whom left the pavilion.
A week ago Sunday night regular
old fashioned knock down and drag
OUT is reported to have occurred at a
pavilion in Brown county south of
New Ulm. Chief Of Police Alvin
Harmening and the members Of his
force were appealed to for assistance,
but informed the proprietor Of the
pavilion that they had no jurisdiction
outside Of the city limits and ref erred
him to the sheriff's office.

Mrs. Wichersh stood the long journey
well and enjoyed the sojourn in the
South as we'll as in the West very
much. Both Mrs. Wichersk and her
son have many interesting experiences
to relate. They saw many beautiful
sights and are glad to be back home.

WOULD JOIN LUTHERANs.

A movement is on foot in st. Peter
to bring about a union between the
four Lutheran congregations exist
ing in that city at the present time,
being the Swedish, German, Norwe-
gian and English Lutheran Churches.
Some time ago, the three former con-
gregations arranged for one English
service each Sunday. For the pres
ent, it is possible that the first step
ii, this unifcation will be taken by
the Swedish and the English congre-
cations, as they belong to the same
synod. It is. proposed to gradually
enlarge the scope Of activity along
these lines in the hope Of ultimately
bringing about a consolidation yof all
four congregations.

for Lincoln, Nebr., the previous Sat
urday night, to take charge of John
son, when the latter was released
from the Nebraska state prison, latter
serving sentence of little over a
year for the theft of an automobile
in Lincoln.
Prisoner is Reticent.
johnson refused to discuss the
flax theft with the officer enroute to
New Ulm and has since been rather
reticent on this subject. His brother,
Horace Johnson, arrived here from
Hector, the family home, Wednes-
day and had a conference with him
at the county jail, Thursday NOR
ming. Later the local law firm OF
Mueller & Streissguth was engaged
to defend the prisoner, which lndl-
Gates that he intends to fight the

tiary, according to Mr.. Jahnke. Due
to the fact that it is much too small
to accommodate all of the convicts

those serving time for minor crimes

Of the state, The prison warden was
greatly interested in learning more
about the Minnesota penitentiary
from the deputy sheriff, and express
ed surprise when informed that oul
