RAIDERS WERE eENTLEMANLY
Federal Agents Regretted Making
- Arrests at. NaSN uIn

New Ulm, December 21.-Two
federal agents, described by drink
place proprietors as gentlemen
raiders" entered four places in New
Ulm Tuesday night, December II,
and jailed three men. In each place
the agents were the epitorne of po-
likeness, says The New. Ulm Review.
In the Ben Reinhart place they broke
a glass and offered topay for it. They
took their victims to the county jail
with seeming reluctance and ex-
pressed sorrow that 1t was neces-
sary to lock them up for the night.
The conduct of the agents was
marked contrast to that shown on
previous visits to New Ulm when
they used abusive language, slugged
without provocation,1- and created a
disturbance In general. Their change
in attitude is attributed to the
warning of Federal Judge Page
Morris that agents must cease play
ing the part of DULLES.
In only two places did the agents
so far forget themselves as to jump
the bar, that was in the Union bar
conducted by H. A. .Kretsch at 103
North Broadway and Veigei Bros,
1o5 South Minnesota street. In each
place, however, their jumps were

The agents arrested Joseph A.
Schnobrich and A. S. Dorm, who a
week before were granted a license
by the city council to sell soft
drinks in the place formerly occupied
by William Manderleld at 226 North
Broadway. The Council revoked
Manderfeld's license on November
20 because he was alleged to have
violated state and national prohibit
ton laws by selling liquor. A new
license was given to Schnobrich and
Dorm on their representation that
they would obey the law.

Agents searched the Ben Reinhart

he was called to task by his COM

Shot While On Hunting Trip
lie Sueur Center, December I'll
Ben Traxler, a we'll known young
man living just northwest of town,
was the victim of hunting accident
when he was shot in the left arm
and side by the accidental discharge
Of a shotgun. For several hours aft
er the accident there appeared to be
little hope for his recovery, but at
this time 1t is stated that he win re-
cover. In company with Frank
White, Jr. and others he was hunting
in the community west of town near
the White place. Information is that
the boys were looking for a rabbit
in den in the ground when, in
some manner one of the guns was dis
lharged. The shot struck him in tht
left side and arm, infiicting a des-
perate injury. Heroic work by at
tending physicians later. brought
the news to his friends he would re-
cover. -...
The injured young man seems to
have had more than his share of Ill
luck for, when he was a small boy,
he had one foot badly injured by a
mower. ...
Many friends hope he will soon be
well on the road to recovery from
the recent accident
