CAR FINDS ITSELF IN
s PECULIAR POSITION

Suspended by it's two front wheels
from the sidewalk leading to Hermann
Heights, a l912-model Studebaker hung
helplessly over an embankment last
Tuesday afternoon while its occupants
went to summon aid.
& A party Of three men from Sanborn
were5 driving up the hill to the Heights,
when the car began to back down the
incline. In his fright the driver lost
control Of the wheel, and the old car,
left to its own judgment, backed side
ways over the cement walk, and was
about to takeh downwardIplunge, when
the two front wheels were caught some
how, thus leaving the car suspended
in mid-air in the position in which the
force from Retzlaff's garage found it.
The three occupants managed to
Chamber out without disturbing the
position of the car, and called the local
garage at once. No damage resulted
from the accident and no one was hurt.

the brakes. Loose sand on the road

VICIOUS BOVINE
ATTACKS RICHTER
JOHN RICHTER OF sAFFERT's
II MEAT. MARKET WoRsTED
BY WILD COW.
BUTCHERS MAN NOW QUICKLY
RECOVERING AT THE
LoRETTo HOSPITAL.

An accident, which came perilously
near being extremely serious, occurred
last Wednesday when a wild COW at
tackled John Richter OF the Andrew
Saffert meat market, smashing into his
chest, knocking him down and in
juring his spine and bruising him
otherwise to such an extent that he
has been confined in the Loretto hos
pital ever since.
Ft. Ridgely Cow.
Mr.. Massapust, farmer from Ft.
Ridgely, brought the COW in to the
butcher. She was wild and vicious
and after unloading, Andrew Saffert
advised Richter to. leave her tied up
for while before trying to weigh her.
Mr.. Saffert figured that if she were
left alone, her violent temper might
subside.
Made Vicious Attack.
Mr., Richter, however, climbed over
the fence which encloses the scales
and proceeded to unite the COW pre-
paratory to weighing. The COW sud-
denly made a vicious attack, smashing
right into Richter's chest, knocked
him down outside the scales, injuring
his spine and otherwise bruising him
up pretty badly.
| Taken to Loretto.
Mr.. Richter was Immediately taken
to the Loretto hospital for medical
attention. It was found upon exami-
nation that he had, luckily enough,
sustained no internal injuries and he is
fast recuperating from his experience
with the wild bovine. He is now re.
ported as sitting up in bed at the hos.
pital and will soon be up and around
again. #:f .5.3 3is . siss. .s &

MAX PFEIFFE ER s
BED HELD SAWS
HOUSE cLEANING' AT JAIL
SHOWS PROBABLE ATTEMPT
TO ESCAPE.
DEPUTY SHERIFF GIEsEKE
MADE MAX PFEIFFER
CHANGE CELLS.

While doing house cleaning" at
the jail on Tuesday of last week,
four saws were found in a mattress
which had been on the bed occupied
by Max Pfeiffer.
J. "A number Of old mattresses were
taken out and burned during the
"house cleaning" and that is how
the saws were discovered. Whether
the saws had been slipped to Max
Pfeiffer or had been in the mattress
before, concealed there by a previous
prisoner, is of course not known.

Did Max Plan Escape?

The finding Of the saws, however,
reminded Deputy Sheriff Gieseke Of
the fact that Max Pfeiffer became
very noisy one evening several days
before the Pfeiffers and Brooks were
taken to Saltwater. It is generally
considered sign Of something brew
ing in the minds of prisoners when
they become unusually noisy and
Tor that reason, Deputy Sheriff
Gieseke decided to move Max Pfeif-
fer into another cell, which he did.
This made Max rave more than ever
which strengt thened Gieseke in his
suspicious. is possible that ar
rangements had been made whereby
the saws were to be used to make a
Jail delivery and effect thesescape of
Max Pfeiffer and probably big Bill"
and Brooks also. If that was the
plan, Deputy Sheriff Gieseke nipped
it in the bud by moving Max to
another cell.
New Ulm review., 1922-08-02
Stri cter Rules Hereafter.

Since finding the saws concealed
in the old mattress, the sheriff ) Office
has decided not to allow any more
visiting around in the jail without
the very closest supervision.
If Max Pfeiffer persists in the same
tactics at Saltwater as he used while
in the county jail here, he, is not like
" to cut much off from his seven years
at that institution.
New Ulm review., 1922-08-02
Was Tough" risonar.

+ Max was very disorderly prisoner
on the whole while in the county Jail.
He often made a terrific racket. He
twisted off the faucet and flooded the
Jail floor with water one day. Ano-
ther time, he broke leg off his bed.
He yelled most Of the time and made
life as miserable as he could for all
within hearing.
He did not seem to care at all for
his wife and family and seemed to
give no thought to them before being
taken to the state prison at Still
water. Setting up an almost con-
tinuous din is now thought to have
been a screen under which he hoped
to break out Of jail.
