petrating q swindle on him. Mr..
Jahnke's attorney was then called up
and the police notified. Chief Har-
mening and John Herzog immediate
ly answered the summons and in
few minutes had taken Martin into
custody. The sheriff's office was also
notified and Herzog and Deputy
Sheriff Gieske Immediately went to
the Jahnke farm to arrest Wilkinson.
After searching the place over they
failed to find him and they were about
to go over to Searles to look for him
there when they espied him going
through some willows on the road. He
was taken into custody and brought
to New Ulm where they were ques-
toned by County Attorney, T. O..
Streissguth.

which they could borrow from one of
the Government hospitals. They stat
ed that they would have to have $500
as a guarantee for the return of the
belt and that there was government
tax of $500 on the belt. The $500
guarantee was to be returned after
thirty days, the time it would take to
cure the trouble, upon return of the
belt. They represented themselves to
be eminent physicians and claimed
they were practicing in the U. S.
Government hospitals at Chicago

tended to treat the eyes with a radium
cure and performed a fake surgical
operation for cataracts in the eyes.

Has Mr.
aCuIOuS Escape
TRCTOR TAKES UNEXPECTED
PLUNGE, PASSING OVER BODY
OF BEN SCHWARTZ.

Ben Schwartz, well known farmer
of Shutdown township, who resides
about 8 miles northwest of this city,
experienced a thriller on Saturday
forenoon which could easily have re-
suited in serious OR fatal injury He
was engaged in blowing with Titan
tractor connected to an assembly of
plows when the accident happened.
Schwartz had covered a goodly por-
ton of the field with the equipment
and coming to a place where the
ground was quite soft and the tractor
could not obtain the necessary footing
he uncoupled the units and piloted the
tractor to more solid ground, intend
ing to take another hitch on the plows
and pull them out backwards He had
stopped the tractor and was in the act
of dismounting from the machine to
make the necessary hitch when, it is
supposed, some portion of his clothing
must have caught lever, throwing
the tractor into reverse gear.
The tractor unexpectedly started to
move backwards toward the plows, di-
rectly in line with Mr.. Schwartz. He
was thrown on his back, the tractor
passing over his body. Schwartz
stated that he Immediately realized
the danger he was in and. drew his
feet together to escape the heavy
wheels, which fortunately did not en-
gage his body. AS the machine was
proceeding backward, however, cot
'terpin in the steering assembly caught
his clothing near the chest and, realiz-
ing the Importance of quick action,
Schwartz caught hold of a rod and
pulled up his body to relieve the ten
sion on his. clothing and disengage the
pin. He emerged from his precarious
position without scratch although a
minute inspection of the path made by
the tractor wheel disclosed the fact
that imprints of portions of his cloth
ing could be plainly seen in the soft
earth. His son, who was blowing
nearby with team of horses. rushed
to his assistance and in attempting to
render aid received slight cut on his
lower right limb. The cause of his
injury, however, could not be ascer-
tanned. He also suffered a severe
nervous shock due to witnessing his
fathers dangerous situation.
The tractor, after passing over Mr..
Schwartz's body, continued it's reverse
motion, striking the pillow assembly
with such force as to severely bend a
heavy steel connecting beam of the
latter.-Springfield Advance.

cheats a little in the matter of sleep.
For years we have read of the six

nine-hour gourmands have blushed
with shame at the thought of this
great and wise old servant of man

Now the Ford and Firestone party
lets the fact leak out that at the Lud-

The woods are filled with those, who
are attempting to pry the coin from
the unwary in this section of Mime
sofa. Since the crop prospects were
reported to be so excellent in south
ern Minnesota the mails are filled
with visionary schemes, door bells
are continually ringing and smooth
males and females are seeking to un-
load their goods upon the unsuspect-
ing, and smooth tricksters infest the
country and trim the bank accounts
of those, who are susceptible.
Recently New Ulm people received
letters from a concern termed the
Municipal & Industrial Securities Co.
of New York City which reads as
follows: Eve beg to inform you that
our representative will call upon you,
and we recommend the immediate
purchase of the IL per cent Allied
Banks Mortgage bonds, issued and
guaranteed by seven of the largest
banks in Germany and callable in
1929. With the acceptance of the
Dawes plan these securities will no
doubt have a substantial rise in the
nearest future, and we hope that you
will subscribe to this issue literally,
either for cash, or on the partial
payment plan"
Residents of New Ulm and vicini-

consult their banker. Millions of

The FerOcious Sponge

w. R. Rose in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer: Somebody was talking about
the old Beefsteak club the other day
and recalled the famous story of the
demon sponge. That was one, of the
best stories that ever enlivened that
merry organization Of a generation
ago. The man who recalled it could
not tell who wrote it, but was in
clined to think it was either AL John
son or Doc Beeman-anyway it was
always treated reverently.
The hero of the tale had been Civ
en- the sponge by some half caste
pearl fisherman over in the Indies
and was good deal impressed by the
way the fellow, in his queer dialect,
described it. 1t was just dried up
bit of brown sponge, but the man
brought it home with him and for
got all about it until he took a bath
in the home tub one day. He tossed

All Little Boys

God bless all little boys who look like
Puck,
With wide eyes, wider mouths and
stick out ears;
Rash little boys who stay alive by
luck,
And Heavens favor, in this world
of tears.
The thousand question-asking little
boys
Rapid of hand and foot and thought
as well,
Playing with gorgeous fancies more
than toys,
Heroes of what they dream but
never tell.
Father, in your vast playground let
them know
The loneliness of ocean, wood and
hill;
Protect from every bitterness and
Your needless little acolytes; and
still
Grant me the grace l ask upon my
knees
Not to forget that l was one of
these.
