KILLED IN AUTO ACCIDENT.
A sad accident occurred last Tuesday
evening, shortly after 6 o'clock, near
the Beussmann far'm, three and one
half miles west of Springfield, when a
Buick car, driven by Fred Thram of
Lamberton, collided with a hayrack
loaded with drain tile, driven by
Walter Gould of Springfield. Mr.
Thram died one-half hour Uter, al
though Mr. Gould escaped with a bad
ly mangled limb and a broken wrist.
Mr. Thram was born June 13, 1896,
in Germantown township, Cottonwood
county, and would have been 26 years
of age next June. He served his
country during the late World war and
shortly after his discharge accepted a
position in the John Roth & Son
garage at Lamberton. Two years ago
he was married to Miss Sena Iverson,
who survives him with one son, Ken
neth, nine months old. He is also
survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Carl Thram, of Germantown township,
and eight sisters and one brother.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE
VISITS CAMBRIA
CREAMERY AND CONTENT ARE
BURNED LAST MONDAY.
AFTERNOON.
ORIGIN OF $3,500 BLAZE IS
MYSTERY. TO REBUILD
NEXT SPRING.
Fire of unknown origin burned the
Cambria Creamery and its entire con
tents to the ground, Monday afternoon
of last week. The blaze was dis
covered between 3 and 4 o'clock, when
smoke was observed issuing from both
gable ends of the frame structure. It
is surmised^that the fire started in the
loft, but the cause is still a mystery.
Being £f frame construction, the build
ing bfrned rapidly, and with the
limited means at hand it was impos
sible for the villagers to successfully
combat the conflagration. When the
fire was discovered, it had progressed
so far that the entire contents was also
doomed.
Valued at $3,500.
The Cambria Creamery Company
was organized June 11, 1900, by a
number of prosperous farmers residing
in that community, and the erection of
the destroyed creamery building dates
back to that year. The value of the
structure and its contents was placed
at about $3,500 by Secretary D. E.
Bowen, who stated that $2,400 in
surance was carried by the company.
This will leave a net loss of some
$1,100.
Renewed Incorporation.
At the annual meeting of stockhold
ers, held at Woodman Hall, Cambria,
January 2, it was voted to renew the
articles of incroporation, Which ex
pired June 11,1920, and to continue the
association. The election of directors
resulted as follows: C. E. Bowen, Ed.
Lewis, Thomas E. Jones, John F.
Jones, R6ss Espenson and D. C. Price.
The buttermaker was not present at
the creamery last Monday, and John
E. Thomas looked after his duties.
The machinery had been running and
the cream was cooling. E. L. Harris
was at the creamery with Mr. Thomas
when the fire started, but both men
are unable to say how it originated.
May Rebuild in Spring.
Although no meeting of stockholders
has as yet been held to determine
officially what course the company will
pursue, still it is very probable that it
will be decided to rebuild the structure
as soon as conditions permit. Even
the temporary loss of the creamery is
a detriment to Cambria and every
thing possible will be done to secure
a new building.
LEAVES FOR WASHINGTON.
Howard Klossner, son of our es
teemed fellow-townspeople, Mr. and
Mrs. Jacob Klossner, Jr., departed
Sunday afternoon for Washington,
D. whither he was called to assist
in appropriating the big half-billion
dollar loan which \the War Finance
Corporation has granted to Minnesota
farmers to relieve the present financial
stress. Howard has been one of the
state bank examiners in this state for
several years past and is thoroughly
cognizant of the needs of the farmers
in Southern Minnesota. This is one
of the' reasons for his being selected to
assist in figuring out the appropria
tions. He has temporarily severed his
connection with the Minnesota State
Banking Department, but will resume
his duties upon completion of his work
in the national capital. He has every
reason to feel elated over the singular
honor bestowed upon irim,/ Afes*

NEARLY $1,400
DONATED HERE
GENEROUS AMOUNT SECURED
FOR FEEDING GERMAN
CHILDREN.
H. M. NOACK OF ARLINGTON
SENDS A $100 CHECK.
PLAN PLAY.
Last Wednesday evening the differ
ent sub-committees and others in
terested in raising New Ulm's quota for
the $3,000,000 German Child Feeding
Fund had their final meeting at Turner
Hall, when reports were read of the
monies collected by the various sub
committees. When it was announced
by the chairman that the total moneys
collected aggregated the sum of $1,
272.65, there was general satisfaction
all around, because this, was,a larger
amount than had bednlhbped for.
Increased to Nearly $1 400.
Since the comrMtte6s completed the
work, Mayor 'L. A. Fritsche has re
ceived a $100 check from H. M. Noack
of Arlington $22 from A. C. Ochs of
Springfield, and a number of smaller
amounts from local people, making the
grand total about $1,400. This is
very gratifying.
Without exception, the committees
reported that they were very well re
ceived wherever they called, and were
well satisfied with the moneys donated,
if it is considered that quite a number
of people are out of work and so many
have enough to do to meet their own
obligations.
Names Will be Published.
It was decided to publish the names
of the donois in the New Ulm Post
and this will be done as soon as the
lists are in the hands cf D*. L. A.
Fritsche, treasurer of the committee.
This may take a week or two. In th
meantime ,those who have not been
seen, may make such contributions as.
they desire, leaving the money with
the treasurer.
Local Talent Preferred. s.
In some of the earlier sessions the
advisability of having a so-called
"Volksfest" in the month of February
was discussed at various times. At
Wednesday's meiting, Albert Stein
hauser reported that he was in receipt
of a letter from Arthur Schaub cf St.
Paul, to the effect that the St. Paul
Theatie troupe, who are now assisted
by twe professional actors of Chicago,
desires to come to New Ulm and stage
two plays February 5 and suggested
that possibly a "Volksfest" should be
arranged for that day to wind up with
the German play in the evening. The
consensus of opinion seemed to be,
however, that it would be much better
to have those two actors come to New
Ulm and train in local talent, and Mr.
Steinhauser was directed to secure
further information.
Quite a number of correspondences
were read by Chairman Athanas Henle,
pertaining to financial support for
certain institutions and certain pur
poses. It was decided, however, to do
nothing about these appeals for aid
and confine^the work of the committee
to raising funds for the $3,0(50,000
drive. A vpte of thanks was given,the,
New Ulm Turnvereirt"1 for plach, ,J he
Hall at the disposal of the committee
for meeting purposes.
Mayor Entertains Committee.
Before the meeting adjourned, Dr.
Fritsche made a brief address in which
he thanked those who had taken part
in the drive and then invited them to a
cup of coffee and a little lunch at his
home on South German street, which
invitation was most heartily accepted.
It goes without saying that the com
mittee was most royally entertained at
the Fritsche home and it was quite late
when they finally departed.
The following members of the com
mittee and others interested in the
work accepted Dr. Fntsche's invita
tion: Mrs. Frances Bellm, Miss Ida
Heers, Mrs. Anna Maltzahn, Miss
Alice Haeberle, Mrs. L. B. Krook, Mrs.

EDUCATION BOARD DECLINES

DOWN TIGHT.
DANCING. DIEW A DESPERATE
DEATH. CITIZENSHIP
CLASS FORMED.
If the students of the New Ulm
high school were just a fraction as
persistent in getting their lessons, as
they are in trying to persuade the local
board of education to permit terpsi
chorean diversions either in the high
school building or at least under high
school auspices, the faculty members
would have every reason to rejoice,
for the greater part of their daily
troubles would be over. But—sad
to relate—such is not the case. In
stead, the'young peope who attend
the local high school apparently give
considerable more thought to /'feet
exercise" than to 'brain exercise,'
judging from their persistence in e
vading rulers on dancing as repeatedly
laid down by the board.
"High School dances.
Since the 13oard of Education refused
to longer sanction dancing in the high
school building a few years ago, vari
ous methods have been employed by
some of the students to circumvent this
restriction, and terpsichorean diver
sions were held at other places. Of
late, some of the teachers seem to have
been assisting the pupils in arranging
such affairs. The board of education
took cognizance of this matter at its
adjourned regular meeting, Thursday
e\ening, and instructed Superintendent
Arnold Gloor to inform the student
body, as well as the teachers, that fu
ture dances must not be given under
the name -of high school functions.
Instructors are not to lend their as
sistance to high school students in ar
ranging affairs of this kind henceforth.
Citizenship Class Formed^
Superintendent Gloor informed the
board members that a class in citizen
ship had been organized last Tuesday
evening under the supervision of Prof.
Herman Hein, physical instructor of
the local public schools, who will jbe
in charge. The class numbers 14 "resi

SHERIFF JULIUS REPORTS,
SLACK TWELVEMONTH
I PERIOD.
PRISONERS BOARDED A TOTAL
OF 539 DAYS AT $1.00 ,*
PER DAY.
While Sheriff W. J. Julius has suf
ficient reasons to complain of the "busi
ness depression," so far as his "hostel
ry" was concerned last year, the resi
dents, and especially the taxpayers, of
Brown county also have ample grounds
to compliment themselves upon this
fact, for, if the county jail is lacking in
the number of "star boarders," it goes
to show that the'people of the county
are behaving themselves fairly well, to
sayth^leastf. ,„
«S, Only 28 in Jail, ji^
Dulmg the year 1921 there wer^ only
2& prisoners in the Brown county jail
in this city, of which one was-already
confined therein when that year
dawned, January 1, 1921. The prev
ious twelvemonth was even more
meager than the past year, as during
1920 only 21* prisoners—the record low
mark up to this time—were confined
in the county jail. Comparing these
figures with 1917 and 1918, when the
number of prisoners was 154, seems to
prove that the people ars getting better
rapidly. Those were the "banner
years" of Sheriff Julius' official career.
As late as 1919, he had to care for 70
prisoners in the county bastile during
the twelvemonth.
Nineteen twenty-two starts out
rather ominously, for when Old Man
Time turned his hour glass upside
down at midnight, December 31, 1921,
there were no legs than four prisoners
in the county jail. This is orie-seventh
the total number of "star boardero"
last year. -^'V' ,**V^
7 Cheap Board and Lodging.
No one «an ever accuse Sheriff
Julius of being*a profiteering-landlord,
for his rates for board and lodging at
the county bastile are bnly $1.00 per
day. In view of the present-day high
cost of living, it is rather surprising
that "Hotel de Julius" did |Mt enjoy
a greater patronage in 1921r *Even sq,
the 28 prisoners received V'three
squares" for a total of 539 days, costing
the coullty $539. During the previous
twelvemontn, the 21 prisoners were
boarded a total of 251 days, at a"cost
of $251. Although board was con
siderably cheaper ill 1917, the 154 in
mates of the county jail at that time
cost the county a total board bill of
$1,256:85, being for 1,742 days. Thosa
were the "palmy days" at "Bill's
Hostelry."
Identification Departments
For sevsral years past, Deputy
Sheriff Herman Jahnke has been care
fully compiling permanent records of
all crimes that are brought to the at
tention of the sheriff's office, as a
lr»eans\of identifying critrinals, and

Photographs, circulars''arid other in
formation relative to c'rlrr^es com

are filed away for fdture reference as

total number of identification cards
now recorded is 3,299.
Data for Past Yfcarr
Of the 28 prisoners incarcerated in
the Brown county jail last year, two
were* females, according to the sheriff's
annual report. Six of the prisoners
were discharged at i?he expiration of
their sentences, while three paid finds

increasing of the insurable value of all

2,716 Policies in Force.
According to the annual report of
the secretary, there were 2,678 poli

an aggregate of $8,877,057 of insur
ance. During the past year, 560

$1,569,787, expired, leaving 2,716
policies in force at the close of 1921.

panies of its kind in Minnesota. Since'
three1 yfcarfe when it was necessary

At)GUSt\2t ANDe 30 ARE
1922 BROWN COUNTY
FAIR DATES.
It will no doubt prove of interest to
patrons of the Brown County Fair to
learn that the free attractions, includ
ing the big fireworks program, for this
year'd event have already been booked
by Secretary William A. Lindemann.
And in this conrieetiori it can also b6
announced that these attractions rank
among the top-notchers in this class of
entertainment. Expense was not
spared in securing this big part of the
1922 County Fair program, which costs
the Agricultural Society considerably
more money than last year, when, as a
rule, higher prices prevailed. Some
thing like $1,700 will be paid for free
attractions foi this year's County Fairr
aside irom the fireworks program
whfchTatter will cost approximately
$1,800 additidnal, making a total of
$2,500 for entertainment features.
Splendid Attractions.
Secretary Lindemann and the entire
management of the Brown County
Fair is to be congratulated upon ths
splendid attractions which have been
secured for the 1922 exhibition. Every
one of them is of a high moral standard
and offers entertainment of an unusual
and very interesting nature.
The original "act beautiful," depict
ing various truly artistic hunting
scenes, is put on by a gentleman and
lady with one horse and four hunting
dogs—all characters in spotless white.
Portrayed before a dark background,
this act cannot fail to meet w^th the
approval of all Fair visitors. This act
is in the nature of statuesque postures
and is truly remarkable.
The Seven Flyifig Whirlwinds, sen
sational Arabian gymnasts and pyra
mid builders, appear in two thrilling
acts, demonstrating their wonderful
physique and great gymnastic ability.
This is another top-liner.
The Three Marvelous Kirks intro
duce two new offerings in the enter
tainment field, one of which is an
illuminated triple trarieze act and the
other a sensational slack-wire per
formance. They execute a series of
perilous feats upon an illuminated
triple trapeze, 25 feet in the air. The
tricks performed on the slack-wiie
are new and novel. Their acts are a
potpourri of unusual gymnastic feats
and this trie is also rated as "A No. 1."
Frank De Rue, comedy aerial and
ground contortionist, is truly a laugh
provoker. He introduces a medley of
excruciating and button bursting com
icalities and is great comedy gymnast.
His "ccrk-screw" legs are a "hit" all
by themselves.
Wonderful FifeWork*.
As stated above, this year's fireworks
program at the Brown County Fair
will eclipse anything previous}y at
tempted,* as more money has been ex
pended for this feature and great care
was exercised in the selection of the
massive set pieces. One of the latter
will depict a threshing outfit and farm
tractor in operation. There will also
be a big colored alligator pursuing a
fleeing pickaninny, and many other
beautiful designs. The Gordon Fire
works Company of Chicago, which put
on the fireworks program at last year's
Brown County Fair to -the universal
satisfaction of the thousands of spec
tators, have been engaged to stage
this year's fireworks also.
