any emergency that may arise.
The ladies also decided to give their
customary Decoration Day dinner at

Several of New Ulms bowling teams
journeyed to Mankato last week where
they attended the bowling tournament
held by the Imperial Bowling Associa-
ton of that city. Although the New
Ulm boys did not roll such exception
ally high scores, they received con-
siderable portion of the prize money,
the low scores being the result of poor
alleys.
The Hackbarths Of this city rolled
into fourth place in the five men event,
while seventh and eighth places were
held down by the Meyers and Schells
Specials respectively. In the doubles
Geo. Wicherski and r. Dahms held

SPARE WHEEL STOLEN.

During services.at the Bethel church
here, week ago Sunday evening, some
mlscreant appropriated a spare wheel,
including tire and tube, from an auto
that was parked in front of the church.
a strange car was standing near the
church the same evening and it is
barely possible that the owners stole
the spare wheel from the other ma
chine. Another possibiityis that local
mlscreants appropriated it. The owner
has kept the matter quiet, in the hope
OF locating the thief in still hunt, but
his efforts have been fruitless to date.

PRIME STEERS
FERDINAND cRoNE DIsPosEs
OF HIS ENTIRE LOT TO
ANDREW sAFFERT.
CORN-FED ON LOCAL FARM
DURING PAST WINTER.
TOP MARKET.

The largest individual sale of cattle
ever known to have been made in
New Ulm, not excepting the frontier
period, was consummated Friday, when
Ferdinand Crone, member of ,'Crone
Bros. Co. Of this city, and who spends
his spare time in agricultural. and
kindred pursuits, disposed of Sc head
of prime three-year-old steers to An
drew Saffert, proprietor of the Popular
Meat Market here. Mr.. Saffert paid
the top market price for these succulent
beeves, namely, eight cents per pound
on the hoof. The animals weigh in
the neighborhood Of 100 pounds each,
or about $4,000 pounds all told,
making the total price paid for them
approximately $1,000.
Corn-fed on Crone Farm.
The steers were purchased by Mr..
Crone at South ST. Paul last fall and
shipped to New Ulm, to be corn-fed
during the past winter on the Crone
farm just north of New Ulm. Not a
single animal was lost and every one
of them responded to the fattening
process, making the entire venture a
decided success. John and Jacob
Macho, tenants on the farm, looked
after these steers in addition to the
other farm work, and it was due in a
great measure to their skill and care
that the favorable results were OBJ
tanned
To Deliver as Needed.
While Mr.. Saffert contracted for the
/ purchase of the entire lot of these
prime beeves, the bulk of them will
remain on the Crone farm, and the
animals will be brought to town as
needed. This convenient arrange
ment was one of the factors that
prompted Mr.. Saffert to pay Mr..
Crone the top South ST. Paul market
price for the stock. On the other hand,
the sale of these animals locally was
also considerable of an advantage to
Mr.. Crone, as there will be no loss in
weight, due to shipping, nor any of the
grief and expense attendant upon
loading and shipping to South st. Paul
or Chicago. The two gentlemen got
together and decided they both would
benefit by the deal, which is very
gratifying to both seller and purchaser.
Prime Beef for Local Market.
AS result Of his purchase Of these
fine steers, Mr.. Saffert will be able to
provide his patrons with prime beef for
some time to come. Prior thereto he
was compelled to make frequent trips
to South St. Paul to purchase high
grade stock for his large trade, as the
local market did not provide prime
beeves in sufficient quantity to meet
the demand.

1t will be a busy morning for his
honor, Judge Morey, of the recorders

busy weekend and the arrests ranged
all the way from pure white and
clean, white but dirty, down through
browns, dark browns and those not
tinged at all but who remained deep
hued, like midnight when it's raining.
AS for the offenses, there were n
couple for violations of the automo-
bile ordinance, one for riding BIZ
cycle on the sidewalk, two for theft
four for lewdness, seven for various
stages of intoXication and Al for
shooting craps.
This made just 81 arrests and, al
though but seven were picked, still
the predicament makes them all in 81
varieties of pickle.
Yes, 1t was busy week end for
the department but the fines will help
the exchequer and make the month
end payroll much easier to meet.

ANDERTON WORKS

Secretary of Cotton States League
Hopes to Close Circuit
Wednesday.

Secretary Anderton of the Cotton
States league writes President Bur
goyne of the local club that he still
hopes to get Selma into the Organiza-
ton and that it is because of the need
of that club in the circuit that he has
delayed completing the league.
Mr.. Anderton has applications from
several cities for the Selma franchise,
among them being Hattiesburg, Vicks-
burg and Demopolis. The latter city
is extremely anxious and may be given
the franchise if Selma fails to come in.
In a letter to President Burgoyne
Saturday, Mr.. Anderton said that the
Selma directors were to hold another
meeting today at which they would
reconsider their decision to stay out
side the circuit and that he hoped to
get them in yet.
The date for the final meeting of
the league has been tentatively fixed
for Wednesday of this week and un-
less further developments come up
the organization will be perfected on
that date.

YANKEES DENY
SALE OF BAKER
(sy The Associates Press

NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-Reports from
Cincinnati that Frank Baker had been
sold to the Washington American
league club were denied here tonight
by Edward Barrow, business manager
of the New York Americans. Mr.
Barrow said that, aside from a few
minor details, Bakers contract with
New York was ready to be signed and
that he is to join the club at the
Shreveport, La, training quarters next
Sunday.
Baker did not play baseball la st
year on account of the death of his
wife. Mr.. Barrow said the New York
club had announced that they would
consider trade for Baker If a first
class outfiekier was given in exchange
but the Washington club had none to
offer. He said an offer Of $4,000 and
two mediocre players from Washing
ton had been refused.
