MRS. MARGARET HEMBSCH
SUCCUMBS At ST. PAUL
Was One of Last Two Surviving g
Members of Original White
Settlers Colony Here.

Yesterdays issue of the St. Paul
Pioneer Press contained brief mention
of the death of Mrs. Margaretha
Hembsch, who passed away at her
home, 81 Iglehart Avenue, St. Paul,
Monday, aged SO years.
Mrs. Hembsch was one Of the last
two survivors Of the original party of
white settlers who came to this locality
in 1854 and founded the first settle
ment Of Caucasionas here. This
leaves our old friend, Peter Mack, of
iMilfrod township, as the last survivor
of that sturdy little band. He wildly
recalls Incidents of the early days in
New Ulm and Brown county, in spite
of the fact that he is over 80. years old.
Born in Wuerttemberg, Mrs.
Hembsch came to the United States
in 1854, locating in Chicago for a brief
period before taking up the long and
tedious, as we'll as dangerous trail t
this section Oh Brown county. Her
first husband, Benedict Drexler, was
killed during the Indian massacre in
the fall Of 1862, and she, with her five
little children, hid in a cornfeld for
three days to evade the blood-thirsty
Redmen. Shortly after the massacre,
the family removed to st. Paul, which
city had since been her home. Mrs.
Hembsch is survived by six children
Funeral services will be conducted al
! the Assumption church, st. Paul, this
Wednesday morning at 8 o'clock.

The New Ulm nine won its fourth
straight victory last Sunday when it
met and defeated the crack Balaton
nine. The latter had ten straight
victories to their credit and it was up
to the New Ulm boys to stop their
streak. Although the score stood
eight to four in favor Of New Ulm it
took the boys ten innings in which to
win, overcoming two run lead in the
ninth and winning the game with a
ten inning batting bee. III
Balaton Takes Lead.
New Ulm started the scoring in the
first inning when Bum was safe on
an errorb b9fight fielder. Shea singled.
Pfeiffer hit a long fly to right fe Id
Bum scoring after the catch. Balaton,
however, took the lead in their half Of
the inning when they hit Dister for
four hits, scoring three runs before
they were put out. From then on the
Balaton nine scored but one run, and
were never in danger of scoring again.
The locals. scored their second run in
the sixth inning when Deppe was hit
after two men were out. Born hit to
right field who dropped the ball. He
then allowed himself to get in a hot
box and while the Balaton nine was
trying to catch him Deppe scored.
Thus the two teams stood until the
ninth inning, Balaton leading by two
runs throughout the game. The
thirty odd New Ulm supporters were
feeling mighty sick. But in the ninth
inning the locals got their old pep back.
Dister, the first man up started the
fireworks with a single. Oates dupli-
Gated the feat. Bum hit a hard ball
to second who fumbled it long enough
to give all men a iife Shea famed.
Becker hit grounder to first, Dister
and Oates scoring on the play, thus
tying the score. Stoneking flied to
center field. Balaton failed to score
in their half of The ninth thus making
the game go for extra innings. Ii

NEW WEAPONS OF AIR WARFAR
 TO BE TESTED

Washington, Sept. 1.-(By the A P.)-New weapons of aerial warfare will be given an intt1a1 test when the army air service conducts it's next bombing operation-a night attack on the old battleship Alabama. The present plan is to stage the attack about September 15, probably at the scene of the recent tests upon the former German craft, off the Vfr- ginia Capes.
 A light barrage," composed of giant aerial flares, each of more than 100000 candle power, will be one fea- ture of the attack.
 Giving a greenish-wIltte light, liter ally brighter than day" the flares to be used in the Alabama test will h- and expert flyers say should enable the aviators to obtain greater accur- acy than in day time. The flares are attached to a parachute Of white silk, which reflects the light downward with sufficient intensity, it is believed. to blind the officers and gunners on the ship under attack so as to demor- afze any plan for defense5whiIe keep ing the upper air reaches sl1rouded in gloom.
 ed flares of 1000 candle power were perfected by the ordinance branch of the army air service. They were equipped with parachutes which kept them aloft while the magnesium burned for a period of from seven to forded for a test of these against the enemy, however.
 Although disappointed that they cannot have the Alabama equipped for battle, with radio control as they had hoped tho army hiers are exert ing every effort to conduct the bomb ing tests with war conditions as near simulated as possible.
