Steiner Lumber Co. Is
Erecting New Office
Increasing Business Requires Mod
ern Facilities-Came to This
City Ii Years Ago

The Steiner Lumber Company
is making some splendid additions
and improvements to the plant in
this city.
The most important addition is
the erection of a new and modern
office building 2Ox24 feet with full
basement in which will be located
the furnace, toilet and lavatory and
steel vault.
The sheds will be reprinted and
otherwise improved.
The present office building is To-
Gated in a low spot and it has
been with difficulty sometimes that
water has been kept out.
The Steiner Lumber Company,
composed of Geo. Steiner and DR..
P. Kramer, came to Sank Centre
from Long Prairie 10 years ago and
purchased the plant, stock and bus
mess of the Independent Lumber
Company. They and their families
have proved to be most desirable
citizens. George is the active head
Of the business, go-getter and a
square shooter, with a pleasing per-
sonality. They enjoy splendid
business and deserve it. The
Steiner Lumber Co. has a branch
yard at Little Sank.
Mr.. Steiner was drafted as a can
didate for a member of the School
board several years ago. He has
taken to this civic work the same
intelligence and enthusiasm he uses
in his business.

E. L. Mcmillan to Head
Republican Committee
Attorney Reported Agreed on Will
Complete Organization Today,
Thursday

Minneapolis, July 23-E. L. Nc
MILAN, of Princeton was said to-
day to have been agreed on by re-
publican state and congressional
candidates, for election as chair
man of the new republican state
committee. The candidates meet
Thursday at 10 A. M. in the Of
flee of State Auditor Ray P. Chase,
nominee for governor, to select the
new state committee. .s
Mr.. Mcmillan is an attorney, once
resident in Minneapolis, but for
several years active at Princeton.
He is lifelong republican but has
not been identified with various
state factions, and his selection is
said to be satisfactory all around.
Many names have been suggested
for the place but all the others ran
into various objections.
It is thought likely that A. w.
Lindberg, present secretary of the
committee, will be reelected. Mem
bers of the house delegation have
been especially insistnt on retain
ing him, because of his efficient
service for the whole ticket in past
campaigns.
All republican nominees are ex-
pected to attend the meeting to-
morrow, or to send personal repre-
senatives. Senator Thomas D.
Schall, who left Washington late
Monday, was due home today.

PEWEE GOLF COURSE

Miniature 18-hole golf courses are
spreading like wild fire all over
the country. In the large cities they
are nearly as thick as oil stations.
The distance from tee to cup is
very short but there are innumer-
able traps along the way to try the
skill of the most accomplished
golfer. George O'Gara this week
started the construction of one of
these courses on the corner of
Seventh and South Main street. The
Herald predicts it will prove a pop
ular pasttime. Flood lights will sur
round the course so that the game
can be played as we'll in the eve
ming as at day. It will take a
couple of weeks to complete the
course.

Obrecht Stock Co. Packing
People Into Large Tent
Five Strong Bills Remain-Engage-
ment Closes Sunday Evening
Matinee Saturday

Christy and FRITZ Obrecht and
their company of sterling players
have a strong hold on the affections
of the play-going people of this COM
munity.
The Obrecht Stock company OPP
ened the fourth annual engagement
in this city Monday evening to a
capacity audience. The large tent
was well filed also Tuesday and
Wednesday evenings.
Mr.. Obrecht has entirely revamp-
ed his company since their appear
ance here year ago. Christy,
FRITZ and Don Obrecht are the only
members of last years organization
with this years company. The lit
tie lady playing the leads has a
wonderful pleasing personality
and the parts she has portrayed in
the first three evenings prove that
she has an abundance of dramatic
ability. The new character woman
was for several years on Broadway
and were it not that the legitimate
actors are having a hard time it
would not have been possible for
Mr.. Obrecht to employ lady of
her ability for tent show. The
character man is an old time troup-
er and finished actor. The bal
ance of the company round out a
strong organization.
This Thursday evening the bill
will be Easy Money" Friday eve
ming "Mary's Other Husband, "Sat-
urday afternoon, Little Orphan
Annie" Saturday evening, "The
Perfect Sap" The engagement will
close with "The Slow Poke"
All of the Obrecht shows are
crammed full of comedy lines and
situations and the company makes
the most of them.

Officer Has Narrow Escape When
Attempting to Arrest Alleged
Booze Runner

Deputy Sheriff Sam Porter had a
narrow escape from being acciden-
tally bumped off" last Saturday
night near the Oakdale pavilion.

side him. The occupants, man and
a woman, did not see the deputy
sheriff and the latter got out of the
car and set a suitcase down right
between Sans legs. Sam grabbed
him and the woman, frightened by
the sudden attack let drive with a
pistol, at such close range that al
though Sam was not hit, he was
powder-burned from the shot.

FARMER SUICIDES
SUNDAY MORNING
Frank Mickey, About As, Bach
elOr, Takes Own Life
Hanging
LIVED S. E. OF THE CITY
Came Here Last Fall From
Willard Territory When He
Purchased Farm

Frank Unlikely, a bachelor about
As years old, residing about three
miles southeast of Sank Centre in
the Mccormick Lake territory,
committed suicide by hanging in
the hayloft of his barn Sunday
morning sometime between 1890
and 11:30 a. m.
Mr.. Unlikely came to this COM
n1unity several months ago from
the Westport-Villard territory. He
purchased the farm from Win
Lamb, paying down.. the Herald
understands, $500 with an agree
ment to pay $500 more April first.
Failure of expected funds from his
fathers estate to reach him pre-.
! vented his payment of $500. This
probably worried him, for he was
of morose type.
An aunt, Mrs. Mary Denzen, and
daughter, kept house for him.
The deceased was about As years
| old. He took particular pains to see
that his suicide attempt would not
fail. First he undressed himself;
standing on an old wash boiler, he
carried rope harness around his
shoulders and under each arm pit
with bar of rope very close to the
front and back of his throat. He
kicked the boiler out from under
him and his feet barely touched the
| floor.
Death was caused by strangula-
ton, and while Mr.. Mickey had
gone to great pains it is remarkable
that the rope bars drew up close
enough to his throat to strangle.
Deputy Coroner A. F. Moynihan,
of this city, was summoned. After
thorough examination of the body,
the conditions, and the mental at
titude of the deceased he returned
a certificate that death was caused
by self-inflicted strangulation while
Mr.. Unlikely was insane.
The remains were brought to
Sank Centre Funeral Service NOR
que where they remained until
Tuesday morning at HOO a. M,
when funeral services were held
conducted by Rev. Earle B. Jewell,
rector of the Good Samaritan
Episcopal church. The body was
buried in Greenwood cemetery.

and Arthur Grove of Glenwood won
first prize in guessing the produc-
ton of the two-year old Holstein
heifer which produced 1877 lbs, Of
butterfat in the year.
Representative Neuman gave a
very thorough discussion of our taA
situation. The time is here, Mr..
Neuman said, when the tax burden
be lifted from real estate and per-
sonal property. He suggested tax
as possible solutions for our present
difficulties and stated that many
other states were now considering
these new forms of taxation.
Louis G. Kelehan of the Mime
sofa Farm Board Association,
speaking on the subject 1.-THE
Future of Organized Agriculture in

organization of agriculture. Mr..
Kelehan outlined the fact that there
are two many different agricultural
groups all asking for different
things. Agriculture needs one or

Sank Centre Man Dies;
ictimofAufoAccident
Hit BY Car While Walking to Nor
ris June eth, Passed Away
Sunday, June Goth =.

During the past two weeks re
ports of the death of A. J. Petit
of this city, reached here, but ow
ing to meagre information we were
unable to learn whether the re
ports were true or not. Mr.. Petit
had been rooming at the home Of
Miss Francis Ebbens in this city
and was on his way to Morris tt
obtain work when he met with the
accident which caused his death
The following article from the
Blue Earth County Enterprise al
Mapleton, Mimi, tells of the acct
dent:
Miss Cecilia Petit received
a message last Friday after
noon, June 81, that her broth
er, A. ]. Petit, of Sank Centre,
was in a hospital at Morris
fatally injured. She left at
once by car and reached Nor
ris the same night. She found
. her brother conscious but very
low and he passed away about
one o'clock Sunday, June 20.
Mr.. Petit was the victim of
an auto accident. AS near as
could be learned from the dy-
ing man, he had stepped out of
the path of an advancing car,
only to be knocked down by one
coming from the rear which he
had failed to notice. He was
taken to the hospital where
everything possible was done
for his relief but he had been
so badly crushed that recovery
was impossible.
The remains were brought to
Mapleton Monday afternoon
and the funeral services held
Tuesday morning, July LIST
from St. Teresa Catholic church
with interment in Calvary GEM
etery.
Mr.. Petit was the oldest son
of the late Mr.. and Mrs. Gar
rett Petit. He lived for sew
eral years in Mapleton while
engaged as a travelling sales
man in this section but for
some time has made his home
in Sank Centre. He is survived
by his three daughters, Grace
and Hazel Petit, of Minneap-
oils, and Mrs. DeWolf, of st.
Paul.
Those called to Mapleton by
his tragic death were his broth
ers, Frank Petit, of Fergus
Falls, and James Petit, of
Devils Lake, Mr.. and Mrs. De-
Wolf, of st. Paul, and Misses
Hazel and Grace Petit, of Min
neapolis.

City Team d. ,afed
by'.Main Streeters'
Modern Samaritans" Not So Good
Received Surprise-Unable to
Worry Judkins
Another ball game, another vi

Another ball game, another vic
tory!
The Modern Samaritans, a base
ball organization from st. Paul.
came to this city last Sunday and
met with defeat at the hands of the
local team by the score of to 1.
A fairly good sprinkling of fans
witnessed the play.
The game, for the most part was
interesting, with few feature
plays. Center fielder McKenna rob-
bed Judkins of a beautiful hit in
the third inning, when he made a
long run to left center for a put
out. There were two men down
and Paul had just singled when
JudlSins sent the ball screeching
out to the garden, and fans expect
ed another score, but were disap-
pointed. It was the best play of
the game.
The Samaritans drew first blood
in the first inning when after Hall
was out to Butler, McKenna drew
a safety when Gilbert dropped
Wiesner's throw to first. Thorn sin
gled to second, advancing McKenna
and Larson hit inside the third
base line for two bases, scoring
McKenna and advancing Thorn to
third. Judkins retired the side,
taking Schoe and Tetzlaff via the
air route.
Sank Centre came right back in
the second half of the first for two
scores to take the heart out of the
visitors. Soltau famed. Wiesner,
who was playing his first game with
the locals, came through with a
dandy when he hit the first ball
pitched to him over second for a
single. Wolfe fouled out to third.
