STEALS MONEY
IS FINED $50
EMIL KRAUS PPRoPRiATEss,a
FROM FELIX BRUsT OF
SLEEPY EYE.
HID PURSE CONTAINING COIN
IN RAvINE NEAR THE
sCHELL BREWERY.

When preparing to take a dip in the
cooling waters of the Cottonwood
river (or any other stream OF lake, for
that mattef), don't use your shoe as a
safety deposit vault for your money
and sundry valuables, especially not,
if you have reason to suspect that your
action are being observed by lads who
cannot resist the temptation to secure
....easy money.
Such is the advice which Felix Brust
Of Sleepy Eye no doubt will give his
friends, as the result of singular
experience on the Cottonwood river
south Of New Ulm, Sunday afternoon.
should they ask him about safe place
to keep valuables while enjoying
swim.
Placed Money in Shoe.
Mr.. Brust, his wife and mutual
friend drove out to the Cottonwood
river, near the mill dam, Sunday after
noon, shortly after 8 o'clock. He
placed his purse, containing $13 in
currency, in one Of his shoes for SAFE
keeping while bathing; and left the
article of footwear in the car.
While the Sleepy Eye trio was EN-
jjoy1iing their dip in the cool waters of
the stream, someone, who evidently
must have observed Mr.. Brust put
the purse iii the shoe, stealthily went
to the car, distracted the pocketbook
and it's contents, and softly stole
away.
Noticed Loss Immediately.
Mr.. Brust noticed the loss im-
mediately upon returning to the car
to dress. He made inquiries as to the
names Of the boys who had left the
stream just as the Sleepy Eyeites
entered the water, and reported the
matter to Chief 81 Police Alvin Harm
ening. Deductions were made and
the burden Of suspicion finally rested
upon Emil Kraus, aged Is, his 16-year-
old brother, Gust. Kraus, and their
companion, Peter Pfokosch, also 16.
The three. youths were taken into
custody and escorted to the police
station, where they were questioned.
Brother "Spills eBans."
The younger Kraus boy, after con-
siderable questioning, informed the
officers that His brother had appro-
priated the purse, also telling them
where it had been secreted. In spite
of the drizzling rain, Chief Harmening
and Policeman Ed. Wagner drove out
to the place the ravine along the
Cottonwood river, near the Schell
brewery-at 10 o'clock Sunday night
and located the missing pocketbook
under log, where the older Kraus boy
.Ihad placed it; according to his brother.
| It contained only number of tickets
Of no special value; the money being
4 found at the Kraus home. 4st
Fined $50 AID Costs.
| Emil Kraus was immediately placed
under arrest and lodged in the city
llock-up, where he remained until
yesterday morning, when he was taken
before City Justice George Hogen for
trial. A change Of venue to City
Justice N. Henningsen's court was re-
quested and granted, and the latter
imposed fine Of $50 and costs of
! Is15.O5, total OF $S5.05, with an alter
native of so days in the Brown county
Jail. The fine and costs were paid.
Gust Kraus and young Prokosch were
released, as there was no evidence to
prove that they were in any way inn
Iplicated in the theft.

FARM HAND
DISAPPEARS
JOSEPH BAAR DEPARTS FROM
JOHN j. GUGGISBERG
PLACE FRIDAY.
SAID NOTHING AS TO WHERE.
HE WAS GOING. NOT
SEEN SINCE.

where Is Joseph 0aar, farm mana
aged about 38 or 40, who disappeared
rather mysteriously, while shocking
grain on the John J.. Guggisbere
farm in Lafayette township, Friday
forenoon at about II o'clock? He
left without telling anyone Of his
destination, and as a result, his rela-
tives here are anxious to learn oil
his whereabouts, as it is feared that
he may have been overcome by heat
and wandered away somewhere.
Woodworking Man.
Mr.. Baar was Woodworking man,
quiet and unassuming. At one time
he was employed at the M. & St.
L. depot here to take care of the
passenger engine at night. It is
said that he told friends recently that
he sintended to return to his job
but there are no indications that a
change was contemplated.
Disappeared Suddenly.
Mr.. 'Guggisberg and the members
OF his family noticed nothing unusu-
al about Mr.. Bars conduct, Fri
day morning, nor did they have any
reason to sufmise that he was dis
satisfied with his work there. That
morning, he accompanied his employ
er out into the field to harvest rye.
Mr.. Guggisbefg drove the binder
while the hired man shocked up the
grain. At one time, the former
noticed Mr.. Baar seated under a
tree, but the distance between the
two men was so great that he could
not see the latter very plainly. Be
fore he could reach the spot on his
way around the field, Mr.. Baar
had disappeared, without SO much
as indicating whittier he was bound.
Searching Parties Out.
All day Monday and yesterday
morning searching parties secured
the woods and banks of the Mime.
sofa river in the vicinity of the Gu
gisberg farm, in vain hunt for the
missing man. There was no sign
of him anywhere. The search was
made at the request OF Mr.. Bars
brother-in-law, Christ Lindmeyer, Of
this city, who called upon the
sheriff's office here for assistance in
an attempt to locate Mr.. Baar. III
quiries have been made Of all the
neighbours hesiding in that vicinity
but no one has seen the missing man
since his departure from the Guggis.

public dances in the New Ulm Armory
Some of our readers may exhibit a
smile Of doubt at reading this, for so
much has been said and written anent
this matter III the past that little
credence is given to such announce
ments, much as many people would
like to have the lines drawn little
tighter and more rigid rules enforced
as to the conduct OF the dancers,
Police Matfon in Charge.
Let US introduce to you New Ulm's
new police matron, The first woman
ever to wear an officers star in this
city. Her name is Mrs. Martha
Luetjen and her sole duties are to at
tend every public dance at the New
Ulm Armory for supervisory purposes.
In order to add the necessary weight
to her activities, Mayor L. A. Fritsche,
at the urgent request of a lumber OF
our citizens, who have the moral vel
fare of our young people at heart,
officially appointed her as police
matron and clothed her III full police
authority, even to the extent Of
decorating her with a policeman's star.
Already on the job.
That Mrs. Luetjen is horoughly on
the job and looks after her ddties as
probably few other women could, is
evidenced by her work during the
Fourth Of July dance, Monday night.
Unostentatiously, and still with "a
determination that proved timely
warning to certain young folks against
any attempt to disobey, she cautioned
some Of the more immodest couples
to mend their ways, terpsichortally
speaking, and her admonitions were
complied with little reluctantly BY
some, while Others realized that the
sooner they obeyed, the better it
would be for them. There we're about
a dozen couples that required coaching
as to the proper manner in which tc
dance.
Iniprovenient Noticeable.,
Mrs. Luetjeh made the purpose q
her presence felt to such an extent
that great improvement already
believing themselves uhobserved, re
verified to their former tactics, aitel
being told what was expected Of them
They will be watched, however, and
repetition will result in their bein,
lejected from the dance floor.
A Good Example,.
The appointment of police matrol
at the local Armory should pave tn
way for similar action as regards tn
public dances at pavillions in tn
VICINITY Of New ,Ulm. It is. now u
to the authorities Of Brown an
Nicollet counties to see that immodes
terpsichorean diversions are tabooe
there as wen as here, FOR, if no sue
action is taken, The young folks wi
Isoon learn that they are allowed
dance without these restrictions at th
4fpavilions; while compelled to reffaii
from '.cheek- to-cheek',, and 'shug-m,
tight. antics at. the Armory. It
hoped aid believed that there wi
Inever be a reason to regret havin
/ taken this step SO far as the Afmor
lis concerned. This place will 500
have gained the reputation Of being

are welcome and may enjoy ..trippir
!, the light fantastic, while immole,
dancers must look elsewhere for sue
I laccomm odations.
