NEW ULM WINNER
IN OPENING GAME
'. $$
DEFEATS WINTHROP 11 TO 1
IN ONE-SIDED CONTEST
HERE SUNDAY.
MEET LAFAYETTE ON SUNDAY
AND ST. PETER ON
MEMORIAL DAY. ':••.
The baseball season opened auspici-j
ously for New Ulm Sunday when thd|
home team, with many of last year's
players in the iifte-Up^defeated Wih-i
throp by the rather oiie-sided score of
11 to 1. The New Ulm boys hit the
ball freely, especially in the opening
frame, when Becker the lanky :port
side pitcher of Winthrop started wild,
permitting the home "boys to-put the
game on ice with a tally of six scores.
Mayor L. A. Fritsche and J. P. Graff
were announced as the opening battery,
for New Ulm, and when our lord
mayor put the first ball across the-plate
he was cheered loudly by the thousand
fans present to see New Ulm get the
right start. Mayor Fritsche showed
himself a good sport and still able to
put a few twists on the ball that "ex-*
tracted" for him the cheers of the
crowd.
Winthrop Starts Badly.
The first three men up for Winthrop
went out in order. Deppe, the first
man up for New Ulm was walked and
followed by Sullivan on whonvtwo hits
had been called when, unlike 'tile
mighty Casey, he swatted the third one
square on the nose for a three-bagger
with the bases full. Fisk and Guent
ner followed and when the merry
swatting fest was over New Ulm had
a nice nest egg of. six runs stowed away,
enough to make rthe fans shout them
selves hoarse and anticipate another
winning season for the local team.
Fisk Holds Visitors.
Fisk proved invincible as pitcher and
had excellent support most of the way^
But one run was scored and'seven
hits, of which Hanson, the heavy-J
hitting first baseman of the Winthrop
team got three. The only shift in the
line-up came when Cordes was sent in
for Berg in right field, after "Berg "had
made an error, the only one chalked up
against the local team.
Becker, the left-handed pitcher of
the Winthrop team, who had been
touched up rather lively by the New
Ulm swatters, was replaced in the
eighth inning by Muchow, who al
lowed but one hit while he was on the
slab.
In the neighborhood of a thousand
fans turned out for the opening game
Sunday, not counting those who saw
the game from their cars or otherwise
from the road without paying. There
is talk of stretching a canvas or build
ing a board fence on that side of the
field so that there will be no free
"spectating" on the part of those who:
would rather see a game free than pay
their share of maintaining the sport.

DIES IN BOX CAR. •,
An unindentified stranger was
found dead in a box car at Sleepy Eye,
last week. A companion of the un
fortunate man called Night Police
man Joe Schueller and told him a'
man was very sick in a box car, but
before help arrived he was dead.
Coroner Kiefer decided death was due
to convulsions. The stranger was
about 45 years of age and penniless,
his only possessions apparently being
a comb and a com cob pipe. The re
mains were taken to Buenger's under-j
taking parlors and prepared-for burial.

»?*«*$|
The two creameries in New Ulm
have been showing a phenomenal
growth this year, which indicates that
the dairy industry is coming rapidly
to the front in this section of the
state. The figures read like a page
from the boom times following the
war, and indicate that this industry is
to play an important part in the future
development of the New Ulm country.
Five Carloads of Butter.
!From a butter production "of 2453j
pounds in February, 1920, to about"
100,000 pounds in May 1922 is the
splendid showing of the local cream-f
ery of the Minnesota Central Cream
eries, according to Manager F. E.
Eidsvold. This means that this
month's production will-amount to
about five carloads of butter. Last
Monday the creamery had the biggest
run since it was started in February,
1920 when ten churnings were neces
sary to turn out 10,000 pounds of but-*
ter. The total butter production for
last year was 525,110 as compared
with 260,536 for 1920. In 'April, 1920
the creamery made 9876 pounds of
butter in April, 1921, 25,874 and in
April, 1922, 65,969 pounds.
Ships In Cream.
The Minnesota Central Creamery
here buys quite a bit of cream from
farmers tributary to New Ulnrbut'al-'
so-ships in large quantities. tMuch of
the production from here is shipped to
Minneapolis. The splendid quarters
in which the creamery is housed will
enable it to handle several-times the
business'now'done, onevgood feature
besides storage being the large refrig
erator plant.
Farmers Creamery Progresses.
*The Farmers Creamery is shipping*
out over three tons of butter weekly
to New York City where it commands
•a very high priceon the*market*be4

CONSERVANCY COMMISSION AND
ENGINEERS FOR .LOCATION
AT THIS POINT. «J«*\'
60,000 ACRES OF LAND WOULD,
BE RECLAIMED AND LAKE
FORMED.
That New Ulm is the only logical
location for the erection of a dam on1
the Minnesota river in connection with
the proposed drainage 'project to pre^
vent flooding of thousands of acres of
valuable farm lands in this section of
the state, was the gist of an impress
sive talk delivered at an open meeting
for the citizens of New Ulm at the,
Commercial Club rooms Wednesday
morning *by A. F.' Meyer' of Mirine^
apolis, member of the firm of Shannon
& Meyer, specialists in hydraulic enr
gineering. The proposed dam would)
be erected immediately below the city
where the Cottonwood river 'flows into
the Minnesota. Mr. Meyer strongljr
urged the location of the dam"here as
being imperative, j^hen' making conv
parisons with other proposed sites
along the-river. l'
Opposition "at First.,
Much opposition on the.part of New
Ulm citizens was manifest at a previous^
meeting when the project of a dam and
the flooding of about 2,000 acres of
land near the city, as well as-som^
property in the city, was discussed.
Engineers at thattime presented a pre
liminary report to the executive com-,,
mittee of the Minnesota Drainage and
Conservancy district. Since that time
additional surveys have been made
and sites for the location of reservoirs
along the river considered. The en
gineer in charge is now more than ever"
convinced that New Ulm is the one?
logical site for the reservoir in this
districtl
if
I
Would Flood 2,000 AcreW
The dam if erected at the so-called.
New Ulm site would flood several
thousand acres of land, but it is esti
mated it would improve from 6O,O00r
to 75,000 acres of "land which is now1
periodically flooded. There would also1"
be created an artificial lake which
might be of considerable value to the*
city. Those in favor of the project!
Claim that the objections- of citizens
here could be" met by building dikes
to protect the Eagle Roller Mill CoJ
and other property oweners in the low-*
lying district and divert the drainage1.
from1 the city so there would be no in*
convenience. 7
New Ulm Only Real Site. I
Mr. Meyer stressed the importance
of locating the dam at New Ulm by*
comparisons with other porposed sites:
He stated that building a dam at the
mouth of the Cottonwood and another
at Redwood Falls had been considered
for the purpose of avoiding'the placing
of an artificial lake in front of the city
of New Ulm, but that from investiga
tions and calculations made, it was
conclusively shown this would not pro
vide enough reservoir capacity to pre
vent flooding of lowlands in this sec
tion during high water, and the cost
would be at least fifty per cent higher
than if the dam were "built near this
city.^ «A large amount of arable ltihti
along with buildings would be flooded
in the vicinity of Redwood Fark,
which would add tremendously to thef
dost.
New Ulm citizens were given tcfe
Understand at.this meeting that unless
the members of the,, committee, mfcm
bers of the Conservancy district ant.
the engineers had the support of QUI,
citizens in thier plans for a dam and
artificial lake in New Ulm, the whole
project wOuld have to be abandoned.
The'plans as outlined by Mr. Meyerl
9
would 'provide for a dam at a polhti mother important topics ^tt,fedt#r£
suffiVithe program. 3iV W
near Redstone which would be
dently"high at all times to stem fl#od!
waters, even if rising a few feet higher|
than during the highest flood mark^bfj
HJ81. iThe dam here would be pro-j
vided with gates so that the water]
could, *be released rapidly wheneVe:
occasion should require it. The pTro-!
posed dam would flood about 2,^00
acres of land at all times to a depth
of about five feet. Trees in the flobdj
arjea would first be razed, so that if tjaej
lake were
used for ^boating or otHer:
purposes, Hater *tbis dinger would !be
removed: Assurance «.%as also given!
that with a dam there would not -fee Is
firiy^mdre mud banks or swamp lands
in the &mmer time than now.
Mr. Meyer also explained how mi
property of the Eagle Roller 1$J1
Company and all other property aloi
the banks of the Minnesota riv&
would be protected by sufficient
ite a it
1
-&H
Ulm would be practically in the same
position as New Orleans which lies
«&
quite-a number of feet below, ,tfae & & II tft &IWt*VC&
.water stage of the, .Mississippi jmd is, W it I A
sufficiently protected by the dikes.
Provisions" would also be made to tak^
care of 'the seepage 4lhat -would ac-»
cumulate and ^afeo 'the -seWer system
along 'Front'Street "would -be taken,
care of '-so "that the property owners
in that section of the city would at
no time'be inconvenienced.
It fis estimated that 'fully $1^000,000
would have to 'be expended for 4his,
project at New Ulm alone. This sumj
has been estimated to be sufficient to,
pay- for the cost of the construction,
of the dam, which is also to serve as,
a bridge and approach to the city, arid
the raising of the bridge and the highv
way that is now being constructed'
opposite Fifth North -street and which
would prove too low to make travel
to New Ulm at «11 times possible. The
so-called lower bridge would be elimin
ated. The Bues^man bridge would not
necessarily be eliminated and could be
used practically as much as it is used
at the present itme. There would be
less danger of the road leading to the
Beussmann bridge being damaged fcjy
the water because the current would
be so much less than I is at the pres-:
ent time in case of floods.
In addition to this there will in
stalled at the dam the necessary ma
chinery and "equipment to develop be
tween 400 -and S00 ^horsepower. The
expense of this equipment would be
about ^50,000. Mr. Meyer was not
ready to state
iUpon
what conditions'
this water power could -and should be
turned over to the use of the eity, but
he stated that without doubt satis
factory arrangements eould be arrived
at between
rthe
city of New Ulm and
•the 'Drainage and Conservancy Board.
Those in charge of the project "elalmed
that the reservoirs right in our front
yard would be more of a benefit than
a detriment, especially as all interests
of the citizens and their property
rights would be "fully protected. It
would give N, ew Ulm an artificial body
of water of 20,00 acres, would give the
city two spelndid bridges that would
at all times give access to the city
from the other side of the river and
also develop .between 400 and 800
horsepower which would be of special
benefit to the citizens of New Ulm.

PROVE CAPABLE IN MEETING
DEMANDS UPON ¥lM E
AND JUDGMENT! -'v
The Criminal calendar In district
court -was reached Tuesday forenoon
with the drawing of the^jury to try
the case on'incest against Henry Alien.
Considerable time was taken up in the
selection of a jury, and prospective
jurors were questioned as to their
knowledge of previous ^trials In court
involving the daughter ef Allen, who
has been sent to a state institution
since for the care of mental defectives.
Atty. Erickson is defending Allen.
Indications are that possibly all of
the criminal cases will be threshed out
in court with "the 'likelihood of this
kind of cases occupying the attention
of the court the remainder of the week.
Wenzel Windschittl, who was indicted
on'two counts of incest by the grand
jury, was arrested at St. Paul Friday
on a bench warrant served by the
sheriff's office. Windschittl had been
spending the past several months in
St. Paul and "when brought Into court'
Saturday entered a plea of not guilty.
Mueller'Gets Judgment. I
After being out from 4:15 Monday
afternoon until 10 o'clock at night the]
jury in the case df August Mueller
vs. 'Edward F. "Berkner brought in a
verdict of $123.70 for the plaintiff.
There were three women on this jury.
Mueller was suing for mbney he claim
ed was due him on a contract for ser
vices rendered the defendant.
Tl'he women of Brown county scored
a big success in their first experience
as jurors in the district court now in
session here. The women not' only did
not shirk fii me|thi'g every 'responsi
bility and duty/but Ihey showed them
selves fully able to measure up* to the
.job .the same as the men. Mrs. J. W.
B. Welcome was named clerk of the
grand jury, Mrs. "Martha Luetjen was
named a bailiff of the petit jury, and
Mrs. J. P. Graff was elected fore
woman of the jury in the case of
Trautman and Sehultz vs. W. B.
Plaisted. Women jurors were given a
prominent place in the court room, and'
they showed that although the work
was arduous and often tedious, they
were patient and alert. As for ac
comodations, they did not complain,
and none availed themselves of the
privilege extended "by Judge Olsoh
that they might be excused where
household duties interfered with their
acting on the jury. One result of
woman jury duty here has perhaps
been a little less smoking about the
court house and a conspicuous tidiness
in and out of the court room. ^J1-'1
William-Rautenberg won a judgment
of $700 on.« note-and $52 interest-in'
his suit against Mrs. Louise iKehms.,
This involved a indte 'given. by 'Henry
