NEW ULM, BROWN COUNTY, MINNESOTA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 25,1920 JUNIOR PIONEERS JUNIOR ORGANIZE VA TOTAL MEMBERSHIP ALREADY NUMBERS MORE THAN 80. OFFICERS ELECTED. NEW ORGANIZATION'S OBJECT OUTLINED. COMMITTEE ON MEMBERSHIP. On account of rain the concert scheduled by the Junior Pioneers at Turner Park last Thursday evening, the 58th anniversary day of the first battle of New Ulm, had to be post- poned and it was held Sunday evening. A record crowd was present in spite of the fact that it was almost too cool to be outdoors any length of time without wrap3. Fine Program Rendered. Capt. Hofmeister's Band had pre- pared a special program for this oc- casion and all the numbers were well received. The log cabin was open to the public all evening and a large number took occasion to visit it and take a peep at all the things that are on exhibition there. Since the last celebration quite a number more photographs of the old pioneers have been added. These photographs are, indeed, very interesting and always prove a drawing card. Junior Pioneers Junior. As foreshadowed in last week's Review, a new organization was formed last Thursday, to be known as Junior Pioneer Juniors. Very little time had been devoted to getting this organiza- tion under way and it is quite gratify- ing to note that the membership al- ready numbers more than eighty. Given Hearty Welcome. This new organization was given a hearty welcome Sunday evening by .Albert..-Steinhauser,. president of the Junior Pioneers, when he introduced them to the Pioneers and also to the public in general. In the course of his remarks. Mr. Steinhauser, re- calling events of 1862, said that th : ngs for a time looked very disheartening to the early settlers on that memorable day of the first battle of- New Ulm, when unaided and alone they held in check and drove back the savage Sioux. Important Historical Event. In the opinion of the speaker the first battle of New Ulm is perhaps the most important event in the history of New Ulm, outside of the founding of the city itself. If the savages had won out on that memorable day, August 19, 1862, the chances are that the entire community would have been massacred, there would have been no pioneers left and there would be no Junior Pioneers to commemorate the deeds of their forefathers today. Keep Memory Green. v Speaking of the purposes of the Junior Pioneers, Mr. Steinhauser stated that their main object is to beautify the city of New Ulm and open up to the public all the beauty spots in the immediate vicinity of the city, to keep green the memory of the early pioneers and in every other way help to build up this community. Although handicapped by the World War, the Junior Pioneers since their organiza- tion eight years ago had placed quite a few markers to indicate historic wx\ TO OPEN SEPT. 7 - VINCENT HARTMANN >~ Miss Frances Zeller, who has been the efficient stenographer at the New Ulm Roller Mill Company's office for the past eight years, left last Thursday for Bozeman, Montana, where she has accepted a similar position with a milling company of Montana. A group of friends arranged a farewell surprise for her Wednesday afternoon at the Arno Weddendorf home, near the Cottonwood. The young people who are very fond of Frances ex- pressed their good wishes for her suc- cess by presenting her with a hand- some gift. . V '.'.;- AUTO HEARSE HIT AT R. R.

Turning to the Junior Pioneer Juniors the speaker bade them a hearty welcome, not only on behalf of the pioneers" but also on behalf of the Junior Pioneers, who see in the new organization a splendid aid in- bringing their aims to fruition. He admonished them to do everything in their power to make themselves good and strong characters* because this is a condition precedent to a successful carrying out of their aims and objects; told them also that life without service is really barren and void of interest; that service for the entire community is what really counts, and is the very thing that has a tendency to make life grand and sublime. 'He suggested that they center their energies upon gome main object that they wish to accomplish and that they should not rest until the goal has been reached. He mentioned a public library as one ALMOST FATAL ACCIDENT OC- CURRED AT SLEEPY EYE MONDAY AFTERNOON. DRIVER AND UNDERTAKER SUS- TAIN SERIOUS INJURIES. CAR DEMOLlSHEb. Z An accident that resulted almost fatally occurred at the railroad crossing near the waterworks plant at Sleepy Eye, Monday afternoon, when the second section of the east bound after- noon Northwestern passenger train No. 412, due at that station a£ 4:20 p. m., run down the auto hearse be- longing to W. L. Walters, well-known Sleepy Eye implement dealer. Returning From Funerad. Mr. Walters and Undertaker Jesse Majewski were just returning to the city from the Roberts funeral and had stopped at the greenhouses to get flowers ordered for another funeral, when > the collision happened. They evidently did not see the on-coming passenger in time to avoid the accident. Both Men Injure$. Mr. Majewski suffered a fracture of the right limb as well as serious in- ternal injuries. It was • at first be- lieved that Mr. Walters had escaped unhurt, but a medical examination proved that he also has received in- ternal injuries. It is hoped, however, that both men will recover. Hearse Demolished. The auto hearse was reduced to a worthless mass of. metal and -wood by the impact of the collision. Mr. Walters had purchased it new last May and it will cost about $6,000 to replace it. ..,' Otto Buenger of the Buenger Fur- niture Company of this city responded to a call from Sleepy Eye, .Monday afternoon, to take charge of a funeral, and left for that place again yesterday morning. The auto hearse of the New Ulm Hearse Company was taken to Sleepy Eye and used in place of the demolished vehicle. -, * SKAT TOURNAMENT C> Southern Minnesota Gathering Will be Held at Turner Hall. •:%:• •;;,; ,A ; . G e n e r o u s P r i z e s . *»,- .1), The New Ulm Greenhouses may be compelled to shut down during a part of the coming winter, at least, owing to a threatened curtailment of their coal supply. Several cars of "black diamonds" have been received, but this quantity is not sufficient to tide the greenhouses over the cold period. During the summer months extensive improvements have been made on the property, anticipating'a* large business the coming season, and it is hoped that a plentiful supply of coal will be avail- able^ to enable the greenhouses to re- main in operation the entire winter.

TEACHING PERSONNEL NEARLY FILLED.—GERMAN CAUSE OF DISCUSSION. ..-. The New Ulm high and public schools will open for the fall term on Tuesday, Sept. 7, according to a de- cision of the board of Education-, at & special meeting held last Wednesday evening. This is the topic of general discussion among the boys and girls of school age, some'of whom express joy, while others deplore the fact that vacation days soon will be over. . ; Supt. Arnold Gloor, who- assumes charge of the local' public schools at the beginning of the fall term, will be in his office at the high school on Thursday, Sept. 2, from the hour of 10 o'clock in the morning, for the pur- pose of registering applicants for ad- mission to school. Children reaching the age of six years prior to January 1, 1921, will be admitted for the current school attendance. Change in School Hours. During the special meetjng consider- able discussion was had relative to fixing a time for closing the high school building after the regular study hours. Quite a number of parents have com- plained that their children attending the high school do not arrive home until supper time, giving as their excuse-that they spent the intervening time studying in the building. Com- plaints also reached the board members relative to the conduct of certain high school students after the regular study 'hours. In view of these complaints i it was decided to have the high school open *t :8:3D o'clock in'thy^in'pnrixigr allow a noon recess of an hour and a half for all departments, and close the building; at 4:30 in the afternoon. Heretofqre there has been no definite hour for closing the high school. The grammar grades will by governed by the same.schedule as the high schools, while in the primary grades the day's study begins at 9 a. m. and closes at 3:45 p. rn., with an hour and a half noon recess, instead of an hour and a quarter, as heretofore. Those board members who favored the adoption of the study hour schedule outlined above, also stated that the janitors must be given a reasonable amount of time in which to do their work, which is not possible if scholars are permitted to, remain* in the schools until late in the afternoon. German Causes Discussion. A lengthy discussion was precipitat- ed at-the board meeting last Wednes- day evening when the matter of in- cluding the study of German in the regular curriculum of the sixth, seventh and* eighth grades for the coming school year was brought up. An at- tempt to make this study "sekctive" in these grades failed, as the board was equally divided when a vote was taken, Attorney Alfred' W. Mueller, Dr. C. A. Hintz and Herman Raabe favoring the motion, while President W. T. Eckstein, Dr. J. H. Vogel and John Henle were opposed. Conse- quently the study of German in the sixth, seventh and eighth grades will be compulsory, the same as all other studies in the curriculum. Loretta C. Johnson Released. The corps of teachers in the high school and grade buildings was com- plete until the request for a release, filed with the board by Loretta C. Johnson of Mankato, was granted. Miss Johnson desired to be released from her teaching contract owing to the death of her mother. An applica- tion for this vacancy is jon file with Supt. Gloor and the position to which Miss Johnson was elected, that of teacher of the second and third grades in the Washington building, will be filled before the opening of the fall term. The application of Alyce Gan- non of Lodi, Wis., elected as one of the Commerce instructors, for a release was denied by the board.;#^ ; .j;;»i Provision was made for a clerkship for the superintendent,- clerk of board and librarian and such other secretarial work as required,, at a salary of ($75. per month for the school year. Applica- tions for this new position will be re- ceived by the board. ' ; ^ . / ^ .','-%?r K Members of Teaching Corps.

PREPARATIONS FOR FOUR BIC> FAIR GAMES UNDER WAYf GOOD LINEUP. The New Ulm baseball aggregation invaded the little peaceful village of Comfrey last Sunday and got even with the ball team of that place for the defeat given them earlier in the season, by defeating them by a score of ,6 to 2. Minus their two stellar outfielders, Pfeiffer and Guentner, the local ball team went up to Comfrey and played balk Joe Smith, Frank Schaefer and "Bobby" Robinson were the gardeners of the day while the infield consisted of our regular lineup with the exception of Bane on second and Williams on short. Two errors were chalked up against the locals, one being a wild throw by P'ederson and the other being a muffed fly by Smith. Not only did the locals do some good fielding.but they did some heavy hitting.. Born and Smith each registered a double, while Robinson, Bunn and Bertsch connected for two singles each. Pedersen and. Schaefer also .connected safely bringing the the total hits up to ten. . - Altho the Comfreyites lost by a good margin they played good ball. But one error was made by that team and that was a wild throw by the pit- cher to first, which enabled Pederson to get to second. ;• %T Bertsch, however, had eontrol -of the ball and let the opposing team off with six hits, two of which were scratch hits.

Vincent Hartmann. At his home on North Broadway/ Vincent Hartmann, well-known citizen of New Ulm and a veteran of the Civil war, passed away last Wednesday fore- noon at 10:30'jo'clock, after a lingering illness' of more than a year's dura- tion. Death was due to the ailments usually attendant upon old age. Sever al months ago he lost his hearing, which had been* impaired as a result of his military service, and his eyesight was also failing. Last Survivor of Gettysburg. The death of Mr. Hartmann marks the passing away of the last New Ulm Veteran of the eventful battle of Gettysburg during the Civil war. His military record was one of which his kin may justly feel proud, for it was not equaled by any other soldier from this section. Enlisting Aug. 18, 1859, in Co. L, Second Minnesota Artillery, at that time stationed^at Fort Ridgely, • he served his country valiantly until being mustered out at Berryville, Va., August 18, 1864, just 56 years to a day before answering the final roll call. At the outbreak of the Civil war, Mr.JJartmann was transferred to the First Minnesota Artillery, which was ordered East and joined M'cClellan's army corps. Aside from taking an active part in the battle of Gettysburg, he was in 32 other hattles and engage- ments of more or less importance. His quiet, unassuming manner pre- cluded any laudation of his military record on his part. He was satisfied that he had done his duty toward the country of his adoption, and had done it well. At the time of his demise he was a member of Hecker Post No. 48, G. A. R., of this city. Born in Bohemia. " " '/' Mr. Hartmann was a native' of Bohemia, Austria, where he was born August i, 1837. Accordingly he passed the 83rd milestone of. life this month. Coming to Americaan 1856, he located in the state of Miehigan, where he remained for two years, then removing to- Minnesota, taking up a homestead in West Newton township. He was engaged in agricultural pur- suits on this farm continuously> with the exception of the- time spent m military service, until 1893, when he and Mrs. Hartmann retired and came 51 (Continued on page 7<) ^ • Comfrey Starts Scoring. Comfrey started the scoring in the third frame when Cady hifr one of his slow grounders to Pederson and beat it out. Dellke walked. Davis hit to first for the second out, L.

New Ulm went into the lead in the fourth inning and from thence on did not run any chances of losing the game. Pederson, the first man up walked. Bunn sacrificed him to second. Bane hit to short for the second out. /Born then got to first when he stopped the ball with his elbow* the .ball going! almost fifty feet in the air.

Carl Schwartz of this city spent several'days last week at the home GOVERNOR SAYS CO. AUDITOR iOULD"*BE "REPRIMANDED FOR OCCURRENCE. The final chapter in, the now famous Vogel-Erickson squabble was written Monday, when Governor J. A. A. Burnquist filed an order declining to remove County Auditor Louis G. Vogel from office. A petition in ouster pro- ceedings was filed with the state exe- cutive several months ago by Lawyer- Editor August G. Erickson of Spring- field, who based this action on a fracas which occurred in the county auditor's office at the court house in this city on Lincoln's birthday, Feb- ruary 12, 1920, and from which the Springfield newspaper man emerged somewhat the 'worse for coming in con- tact with the official's fists. It will be remembered that Mr. Erickson subsequently caused Mr. Vogel to be arrested and the latter had his preliminary hearing at the Spring- field opera house, which was packed to the doors with interested spectators. The county auditor was found guilty and sentenced to pay a nominal fine, but immediately gave notice, through his attorney, of an appeal to the district court. In-the meantime Mr. Erickson took the matter before Governor Burnquist, requesting 'the executive to remove Mr. Vogel from office. ,, The defendant's apeal to the district court came on for trial during the May term and resulted in his acquittal by the trial jury. , Notwithstanding this adverse termi- nation of the case, Mr. Erickson pressed his suit at the capitol and a hearing before the governor was held August 12, with the result stated above. Content of Document. : The governor's decision is not very lenghty and for that reason we publish it in full herewith: STATE OF MINNESOTA- ^EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT There will be no limit to the enjoy- ment that visitors of the Brown County Fair and Exposition, which will be staged Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, will be offer- ed, if the weather remains propitious and there is no hitch in the elaborate .arrangements now being completed for the big three-day event, according to Secretary Wm. A. Lindemann, who, with President Ferdinand Crone, is now busy putting the finishing touches to one of the best and biggest programs ever attempted in connection with the County Fair. r ,. IHK Daring Airplane Stunts." One of the principal sources of entertainment for the large crowds that are expected to congregate on the Fair Grounds is a big pa-senger-carrying airplane, with Delmar Snyder at the wheel, which is scheduled to go through all the hair-raising, breath-taking stunts in a modern airman's cate- gory. Aviator Snyder will perform various loops, Immelmann turns, ver- tical reversements, vertical side slips, tail spins, "nose dives, barrel rolls, vertical banks, stalls and other'difficult feate that are real thrillers. In be- tween his performing trips he will carry passengers for a consideration. This will give all those who are anxious to "go up in the air" an opportunity to gratify their ambition and ac- -^ company the aviator into the skies. \ i ; j "-*«_?• t ' our Fast'''l5ali'GaM-es?-^ : , !;jfi * iS ^ Probably never before has baseball v~%-* created as many and as ardent fans as during the season now nearing its close. Cognizant of this fact, the Fair management has arranged for four fast games at the Fair Grounds during Fair week. . T h e first will be a battle royal be- tween Witt's Market House team and the local aggregation of horsehide pounders and is scheduled for Sunday? August 29. Sleepy Eye was booked to meet New Ulm on the opening day of the Fair, Monday, August 30, but cancelled this engagement Monday. Manager Wm. S. Vercoe of the locals, however, is in communication with the managers of a number of other crack teams and it is confidently expected that this date will be filled. Tuesday, August 31, will mark another attempt on the part of New Ulm to wrest victory from the famous Lamberton players and one of the hottest games of the season is antici- pated. The fast Comfrey nine will cross bats with the locals at the Fair Grounds on Wednesday, September 1. This also promises to be some mill. %f> '•-'•(.'
