In Judge Henningsen's court Thursday Frank Ritter, the man who fought, was given ten days in the rounty jail for being drunk and Harry McKee and Maurice Fitzgerald were sentenced to rive days confinement at hard labor. The fourth, Frank Moore, was also given five days for vagrancy, but as he had his small son with him the court suspended sentence on con dition that he leave town.

The story of Men's Clothing never loses interest —it is always a live topic. The story of our clothing is doubly interesting, because the clothes "t themselves embody everything that is the best in wearing apparel—hand some effects, new cuts and fashions and durable fabrics. We have Men's Carlson HORSES KILLED BY TRAIN Were Run Down Near Milford Monday Morning. Caught in a Trestle They Slaughtered Outright. Are Animals Were the Property W Hoffmann of Milford. of Four valuable horses and a suck ling colt belonging to Wm. Hoffmann, the large farmer of Milford township, were killed by a Chicago & North western train early Monday morning. They had wandered into the right of way and in attempting to escape from the train ran out upon a short trestle. There they were struck by the engine, three of them being killed outright and two having their legs broken. The train which did the damage was an extra freight in charge of Conduc tor Gunn and Engineer Carroll. They were bound east and just before 5:30 passed the Milford switch, and when the train was running down the grade at a speed of about thirty miles an hour, they came upon the horses. The animals, five in number, had in some manner entered the right of way and were lying down in a clump of tall weeds beside the track. Upon the approach of the locomotive they leaped to their feet and sped down the track ahead of it. Engineer Carroll saw the danger at once and set the air brakes, but the bridge was too close and before he could bring his train to a stop the horses had dashed out upon the framework, were caught in the ties, and he was upon them. Three of them, a mare, a yearling gelding and the colt, were killed in stantly, and the other two, one-year old and three-year-old mares, had their legs broken and were otherwise injured it being necessary to dispatch them later. They were all fine, large animals and Mr. Hoffmann's loss is estimated at between $650 and $700, which will doubtless be paid him in full by the railroad company. The engine did not leave the rails and there was no damage to rolling stock. Will ExhibifAgain. Suits which range in price from $3.00 to $18.00 and everyone of them is of superior quality. Martin Penning, the prominent Home farmer and well known horticultur ist, was in New Ulm Thursday and dropped into the Review office for a pleasant chat. Mr. Penning informs us that this fall he will follow his cus tom of sending an exhibit of fruit to the state fair and hopes to make it the best that has yet represented his orchards. At the fair last year fifteen varieties of his plums were given first premiums and as a result his reputa tion as a fruit raiser has spread far beyond the confines of Brown county. He is recognized as an authority upon horticultural matters ajid the products of his orchards have no superiors in the state. I rousers.

Benjamin Fredrickson Sustains Severe Injuries to Spine. Dr. O. C. Strickler was notified and taken to the scene on a handcar. He saw at once that the man could not be moved on the car and returned for a three-seated rig and a cot. On this the victim was placed face downward and conveyed to St. Alexander hospi tal, where, it was found that his injury was to his spine. He has a bad swell ing in the small of his back and although he can move his limbs, indi cating that his back is not broken, it is known that he is very badly hurt. He can lie only in one position, on his face, but it will be several days before the exact extent of the concus sion can be determined. The injured man is about 22 years of age and a son of Hans Fredrickson, residing ten miles south of Hanska. His relatives were notified Monday afternoon and reached here in the evening. Yesterday Fredrickson's condition was slightly improved but he is still in a precarious state. His recovery will necessarily be slow and it will be some time before physicians can state with accugacy what the re sult of his injury will be. Appear ances now seem to indicate that the spinal cord is not affected and he may in time make a complete recovery. Naval Officer on Furlough* Lieut. A M. Beecher, of the United States navy, will arrive today for a short visit at the home at the home of his brother, H. L. Beecher. Lieut. Beecher is now acting as ordinance officer of the new battleship Maine, reputed to be the most powerful vessel in the American navy. She is now.in dock at the League Island navy yard, Philadelphia, having recently returned from a cruise in southern waters. The cruise was made for the purpose of testing her ordinance and it was found that there were several flaws in her big guns. While these are being remedied Lieut. Beecher has been granted a short leave of. absence, a few days of which he will spend with his mother in this city. He expects to return to Philadelphia Saturday. VOLUME XXV. XEW ULM, BROWN COUNTY, MINN^ WEDNESDAYrJULY bv 1903. NO. 27 FELL FROM MOVING TRAIN Benjamin Fredrickson of Hanska, was terribly injured in this city Mon day afternoon. He was thrown from the northbound Minneapolis & St. Louis passenger train down a s^eep embankment and. sustained injuii.es which may cause his death or else cripple him for the remainder of his natural life. Fredrickson boarded the St. Louis train at Hanska to come to New Ulm on business. On the way to this city he fell asleep and was carried by the station. 4 When he awoke, according to his version of the affair, he had no idea of where he was and walked out upon the platform to learn his where abouts. He was, he says, only par tially awake and a sudden jolt of the train caused him to lose his balance and fall from the steps. He has a dim recollection of catching at something in his descent but was unable to sup port himself and the next instant was dashed to the earth. Passengers on the train were of the opinion that he had jumped but his story is borne out by the fact that there is a spot on the embankment which shows where his body came in contact with the gravel. The accident occurred about two o'clock and a few minutes later Fred rickson was discovered by two boys, Fred Strunk and Arthur Dingier, who were fishing. He was lying beneath the approach to the Minnesota river bridge and was in a partially uncon scious condition. They questioned him for some time and at length suc ceeded in securing a coherent account of thecatostrophe from him, but in the meantime Conductor Deving had tele graphed from Klossner that a man had jumped from the train near tb.e river bridge two miles north of the city.

"•$**,*• MANY FINGERS SCORCHED Youth of New Ulm Celebrated in Royal Style. Several Touched Business End of the Explosives. Doctors Kept Busy Dressing Their Smarting Burns. Some of the younger patriots came to grief through their energy Satur day. New Ulm had almost" enough Fourth of July causalities to stock a metropolitan celebraton and there are a number of youngsters who are now wearing their liinbs and features in honorable bandages. Singed fingers and burns of every description were the order of the day and a few serious cases have been reported. The first accident was in the morning to a 7 year-old son of Emil Kachel. The lit tle fellow was vying with his compan ions in shooting fire crackers and was furnishing no end of enthusiasm until one of them exploded in his hand a piece of burning paper setting fire to his trousers. He scurried home but it might have fared badly with him had not Albert Kiesling caugh the scream ing child and extinguished the blaz ing garments. Dr.-J. H. Vogel dressed burns on his right hand and leg. Little George Loheyde was injured in a peculiar manner. He withstood the bombardment of the day like a veteran and came out unscathed, but in the evening he was hurt. It came about through his carrying a bunch of fire crackers in his blouse, for as he was discharging a Roman candle his reserve ammunition was ignited and he sustained a painful burn across the abdomen. A lead-pipe cannon proved the un doing of a 17-year-old son of Arnold Gulden. He was priming the artillery for an unusually telling shot when suddenly it exploded, scorching all of the exposed parts of his body. His hair and eyebrows were singed, his face and neck scorched and his right hand and arm severely burned., Dr. G. B. Weiser attended. Louis Roth, the 13-year-old son of John Roth, the Klossner merchant, kept his powder in a tin can and him self in too close proximity when the crash came. In some manner a spark dropped into the improvised cassion and the result nearly cost him his right eye. When the smoke cleared away he was found to have been very badly burned about the face. Dr. Weiser was summoned and removed several grains of powder from the eye ball. The effects, however, will not be serious and he will not lose the use of the organ. Louis Hoffmann, aged 18 years, knows how it seems to face belching cannon. His piece was of the toy variety but when it exploded prema turely it did considerable execution. He received the charge of powder full in his face and for a time was com pletely blinded. Sunday a physician removed several particles of the ex plosive from his eyeballs and also from the skin about his. nose and cheeks. His experience will not cost him his sight, but it was painful in the extreme. In addition to the above there were any number of minor accidents. Al most every boy could sport a burn more or less painful and by evening they were a very smart set. In the state at large an amazing number of causalities are reported, there being a percentage of injuries which would relegate the ordinary battle to the rear. There are upwards of 1,200 cases where serious injury was sus tained and in a few of these the hurts will prove fatal. Young People Marry.
