FIGHT MESSES DANCE
Free-for-AII Took Place In
Brown County
BLACK EYES ARE PLENTY
One of Those Country Pavilion
Functions That Leaves
Trail of Blood

New Ulm, September 29.-lt was
a free for all fght that made the
dance held at Peter Fischer's pavil-
ion in Linden township, Sunday ev-
ening a spectacular affair. A black
jack was used and fists also and as a
result of the melee one of the partici-
pant of the dance was knocked out
with a black Jack, and about half a
dozen were scratched up and receiv-
ed black eyes. This Is not the first
time that there has been trouble at
this dance pavilion and the general
feeling is that this place should be
closed UP.
James, consisting Of Sigvold Jacob
men and Arthur Mahlgren, who
quarreled among themselves and
made threatening remarks. Some OF
the by ISLANDERS interfered and tried
to quiet things down and this was
the signal for the st. James fellows
to pounces upon the others and In
very short time free for all fight
was In progress. Sigyold Jacobson
drew his black jack and with 1t fell'
ed Gilbert Rustin Of Linden to the
ground. Fists were used to good ad
scratched faces revealed. There was
considerable blood letting. A portion
Of the dance pavilion was pretty well
spattered up with blood after the
fight was over.
Deputy Jahnke Was There
About eleven o'colck the sherif's
office was appealed to and Deputy
Herman Jahnke finally agreed to
come out there provided they would
take the rowmakers into custody, Sc
that he could take them along and
was agreed to when the Deputy
appeared at the scene shortly after
twelve o'clock. the guilty parties had
made their getaway and all that Mr.
Janhke could do was to find out as
much as he could about the row and
how 1t started. When he arrived al
the scene, the dance was still going
on and continued as though there had
been no trouble of any kind.
The county attorneys office is al
most helpless unless the assistance
law expressly gives the town super
visors of the towns of the state au-
thority to license pool halls, dance
halls, and SO forth. The attention OF
town supervisors has been called to
this by the county attorneys office
but according to Mr.. Eckstein, up tc
date, none of the town boards re-
ponded and passed any resolutions
requiring licenses and the amount tc
be paid therefor If all these dance
halls were licensed then a revocation
of the license for mismanagement
would simply close the dance hal
whose license had been revoked. A,
meeting held at the county attor-
ney's office, Monday afternoon, t.
which Peter Fischer, owner of the
latter stated that he would employ
! sufficient additional help to maintain
order at future dances.

But Alleged Auto Thieves Returned
With Officials to Waseca.
waseca, September 29.-Escorted
by County Attorney Gallagher. Sheriff
Fischer and Chief of Police Connolly,
the alleged thieves Of George Webb's
car, were returned to Waseca. The
two men. Edward Smith and Jack Bell,
were captured IN Salt Lake City after
a countrywide pursuit.
Bell and Smith in company with two
women, Rose Manderfield and May
Price, were held bv police in Salt Lake
City Oh information received from a
Jealous lover Of Miss Manderfleld's
in st. Paul. who had some knowledge
Of the affsi-.
The women were held by Salt Lake
CITY police officials until the local au-
thorities here had delivered the pris-
oners TO the Waseca county Jail. They
were not thought to be implicated in
the affair except as being victims OF
the prisoners and have now been re-
leased.
The prisoners had about fifteen
dollars apiece when picked up by the
Salt Lake City police. They turned
over that amount to be given the two
women upon their release before they
were escorted to Waseca.
When the officials arrived at Salt
Lake City they had no difficulty start
ing at once for Waseca, as they both
waived extradition. The prisoners
were chained and manacled to each
other during the train ride from Salt
Lake City to Waseca. The left wrist
of one was manacled> to the right
wrist of the other. Thsir ankles were
bound in the same way. No difficulty
was experienced in bringing back the
cusnacfs IN the scana If their alleged
crime.
The arrested pair seemed to take
their arrest cody enough after a
"hard boiled" fashion. One of them
was an especially willing talker, say
ing that he thought 1t was tough to
have 'em break in on such nice par
ty." Besides that he remarked he
"had planned to spend the winter In
California" and added that he '.hatad
cold Minnesota weather" OFFICIALS be.
lieve, however. that he may become
"acclimated" after one or two hard
winters.
| The two men will be arraigned some
| time this week. Their preliminary
hearing was originally planned fol
Monday afternoon but County Attor-
ney Gallagher has been called out oil
town on business that necessitated
postponement of the hearing.
They will probably be bound over te
the grand jury. The grand Jury is In
court convenes here at the same time
! 1t is likely the trial will be over In
about thirty days.
| In the meanwhile the men are
iawaiting trial for car stealing and
they may have to face q charge OF
transporting women out of the state
for immoral purposes.
