DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
VISITS CAMBRIA A ! Il
CREAMERY AND CONTENT ARE
BURNED LAST MONDAY.
AFTERNOON.
ORIGIN OF $4,000 BLAZE Is
~ MYSTERY. TO REBUILD
NEXT SPRING.

Fire of unknown origin burned the
Cambria Creamery and its entire con-
tents to the ground, Monday afternoon
Of last week. The blaze was dis
covered between and A o'clock, when
smoke was observed issuing from both
gable ends of the frame structure. 1t
is surmised that the fire started in the
loft, but the cause is still a mystery.
Being pf frame construction, the build
ing bhrned rapidly, and with the
limited means at hand it was lmpos-
sible for the villagers to successfully
combat the confagration. When the
fire was discovered, it had progressed
so far that the entire contents was also
doomed. 10 Es,r 6 ~1 - ~

The, Cambria Creamery Company
was organized June II, 1900, by a
number Of prosperous farmers residing
in that comm unity, and the erection OF
the destroyed creamery building dates
back to that year. The value OF the
structure and its contents was placed
at about $4,000 by Secretary D. 3.
Bowen, who stated that So, 400 In
surarce was carried by the company.
This will leave a net loss OF some
$1,1OO. =
Renewed Incorporation.
At the annual meeting of stockhold-
ers, held at Woodman Hall, Cambria,
January 2, it was voted to renew the

association. The election Of directors
resulted as follows: G. E. Bowen, Ed.
Lewis, Thomas, E. Jones, John T.
Jones, Ross Espenson and D. G. Price.
The buttermaker was not present at
the creamery last Monday, and John

patrons of the Brown County Fair to
learn that the free attra ctions, includ-
ing the big fireworks program, for this
years event have already been booked
by Secretary William A. Lindemann.
And in this connection it can also be
announced that these attractions rank
among the top-notc tchers in this class Of
entertainment. Expense was not
spared in securing this big part of the
1922 County Fair program, which costs
the Agricultural Society considerably
more m oney than last year, when, as
rule, higher prices prevailed. Some
thing like $1,700 will be paid for free
attractions for this years County Fair,
aside from the fireworks program,
which Natter will cost approximately
$1,000 additional, making a total of
$4,000 for entertainment features.
Splendid Attractions.
Secretary Lindemann and the entire
management Of the Brown County
Fair is to be congratulated upon the
splendid attractions which have been
secured for the 1922 exhibition Every
one Of them is of a high moral standard
and offers entertainment Of an unusual
and very interesting nature.
The original TACT beautiful" :" depict
ing various truly artistic hunting
scenes, is put on by a gentleman and
lady with one horse and four hunting
dogs-aH charact in spotless white.
Portrayed before dark background,
this act cannot fail to meet with the
approval Of all Fair visitors. This act
is in the nature of statuesque postures
and is truly remarka ble..
The Seven Flying Whirlwinds, SEN
sational Arabian gymnasts and pyra-
mid builders, appear in two thrilling
acts, dem onstrating their wonderful
physique and great gymnastic ability.
This is another top-liner.
The Three Marvellous Kinks intro
duce two new offerings in the enter
tainment field, one Of which is an
illuminated triple trapeze act and the
other sensational slack-wire per-
Torrance. They execute series of
perilous feats upon an Illuminated
triple trapeze, rs feet in the air. The
tricks performed on the slack-wire
are new and novel. Their acts are a
potpourri of unusual gymnastic feats
and this trio is also rated as "A No. l."
Frank De Rue, comedy aerial and
ground contortionist, is truly laugh
provoker. He introduces a medley Of
excruciating and button bursting COM
icalities and is d great comedy gymnast.
His .'ccrk- screw" legs are "hit" all
by themselves.
Wonderful Fireworks.
AS stated above, this years fireworks
program at the Brown County Fair
will eclipse anything previously at
tempted, as more m oney has been a ex- x
pendedfo for this feature and great care
was exercised in the selection Of the
massive set pieces. One, Of the latter
will depict threshing outfit and farm
tractor in operation. There will also
be a big colored alligator pursuing a
fleeing pickaninny, and many other
beautiful designs. The Gordon Fire
works Company of Chicago, which put
on the fireworks program at last years
Brown County Fair to the universal
satisfaction Of the thousands of spec
tators, have been engaged to stage
this years fireworks also.

CLASS FORMED.

If the students Of the New Ulm
high school were just fraction as
persistent in getting their lessons, as
they are in trying to persuade the local
board Of education to permit terpsi-
chorean diversions either in the high
school building or at least under high
school auspices, the faculty members
would have every reason to rejoice,
for the greater part Of their daily
troubles would be over. But sad
to relate such is not the case. In
stead, the young peope e who attend
the local high school apparently give
considerable more thought to s"feet
exercise than to brain exercise, ;,
Judging from their persistence in e.
vading rules on dancing as repeatedly
laid down by the board.
High School Dances" J"
Since the Board of Education refused
to longer sanction dancing in the high
school building few years ago, vari-
GUS methods have been employed by
some Of the students to circumvent this
restriction, and terpsichorean diver
sions were held at other places. Of
late, some Of the teachers seem to have
been assisting the pupils in arranging
such affairs. The board of education
took cognizance Of this matter at its
adjourned regular meeting, Thursday
evening, and instructed Superintendent
Arnold Gloor to inform the student
body, as we'll as the teachers, that fu-
ture dances must not be given under
the name sof high school functions.
Instructors are not to lend their as
sistance5 to high school students in ar
ranging affairseof this kind henceforth.

SHERIFF JULIUS REPORTS a
SLACK TWELvEMoNTH
PERIOD.

TENlOD.8s gss%
PRISONERS BOARDED A TOTAL
OF $50 DAYS AT 500
PER DAY.
While Sheriff w. j. julius has suf-
fcient reasons to complain of the 'sbusi-
ness depression" so far as his hostel
ry''''.5swas concerned last year, the resi-
dents, and especially the taxpayers, Of
Brown county also have ample grounds
to comp pliment themselves upon this
fact, for, if the county jail is lacking in
the. number Of star boarders,' = it goes
to show that the people Of the county
are behaving themselves fairly well, to
say the least.
Only % in Jail. 5h
During the year 1921 there were only
528 prisoners in the Brown county jail
in this city; of which one was already
confined therein when that year
dawned, January !, 1921 The prev
ious twelvemo onth was even more
rneager than the past year, as during
1920 only 21 prisoners the recordslo
mark up to this tim ae were confined
in the county Jail. Comparing these
figures with 1917 and 1918, when the
number Of prisoners was 154, seems to
prove that the people are getting better
rapidly. Those were the BANNER
years Of Sheriff Julius ofhc cial career.
AS late as 1919, he had to care for 10
prisoners in the county bastile during
the twelven onth.
Nineteen twenty two starts out
rather ominously, for. when Old Man
Time turned his hour glass upside
down at midnight, December 81, 1921,
there were no less than four prisoners
in the county jail. This is one-seventh
the total number Of star boarders'
last year. a ts5$2 stss
II Cheap Board and Lodging.
| No one can ever accuse Sheriff
Julius Of being a profteering andlord,
for his rates for board and lodging at
the county bastile are only $1.00 per
day. In view Of the present-day high
cost of living, it is rather surprising
that s'Hotel de Julius" did not enjoy
a greater patronage in 1921. Even SO,
the 20 prisoners received three
squares" for a total Of .539 days, costing
the county $3.50. During the previous
twelvem onth, the 21 prisoners were
boarded total Of 251 days. at a=cost
Of $251. Although board was con-
siderably cheaper III 1917, the 154 in
mates Of the county jail at that tine
cost the county a total board bill Of
| $I,256.85, being for l TAI days. Those
were the 1palmy days at "Bill's
Hostelry."
Identification Department. +
| For several years past, Deputy
Sheriff Herman Jahnke has been care
fully compiling permanent records Of
all crimes that are brought to the at
tention Of the sherif's Office, as a
means Of identifying criminals, and
these records are arranged in alpha.
