The Christian Arndt bastardy case, which was to have had its preliminary airing in justice court yesterday morn ing, will not be heard until next Tues day. The fact that the attorneys for the interested parties were kept busy with the trial of cases in the district court is given as an excuse for the postponement. Judge Quinn, who is taking Judge Olsen's place on the district bench this week, set a new mark in court etiquette yesterday when he ordered three young men out of the court room for laughing, told others that they ought to be at their studies instead of being curious hangers-on at a trial, and warned a bunch of women that while whispering might "go" in a class room, it couldn't be tolerated in a court of justice.

The association will also consider the advisability of holding a combination registered stock sale. Jos. Schroepfer was arrested Satur day on the charge of stealing a watch from Paul Leonhardt. Leonhardt missed the watch some time ago, but it was not until last week that it was known that Schroepfer had it in his possession. When confronted with the oharge of theft, he stoutly pro claimed his innocence, saying that he had purchased the watch from a hobo, but the police are not in the least in clined to credit his story. He will have his hearing before Justice Hen ningsen next Friday, the charge be ing petit larceny if he is willing to plead guilty otherwise grand larceny. Leonhard Haeberle. Leonhard Haeberle, a native of New Ulm and one of the city's prominent business men,died suddenly yesterday morning as the result of a stroke of apoplexy. The attack came just as he was pre paring to arise for his day's work,but so severe was it that he lived only a few minutes. All New Ulm was shocked by the news, and all New Ulm expressed a feeling of regret, for Mr. Haeberle was one of New Ulm's own. He was one of the first white children born here and he lived to be honored and respected by all who had watched his develop ment. He was born on the 8th of February, 1856, the son of those pioneer settlers, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Haeberle, and he spent all of his life in this neighbor hood. In 1882 he married Katie Hoff mann and as a result of this union two children were born, Elmer and Henry, both of whom are still living. For twenty years he was engaged in the ice business and so successful w,as he in his endeavors that when he died he enjoyed a monopoly of the business in the city. His funeral will be held from the Turner Hall next Friday afternoon at two o'clock. W*-r~**f.~* GREAT DISCOUN SAL E |'KPi REEvTSiJEWELR STORE "For Commencin MondaT Mav 24th-, 1909.
