Former New Ulmite Succumbs to Hear t Disease After Six Weeks'

Il lness, Aged 81 .

LIVES ABOUT HALF AN HOUR

AFTER TWO DOSES OF

STRYCHNINE.

August Schuhmacher, a resident of this city for several years past and engineer-foreman at the local high school and Emerson building, ran amuck, at about 12:30 o'clock, Sunday afternoon, after taking a dose of poi­son, and threatened to kill his wife, one of his sons, and a neighbor, the latter having interfered just in time to save Mrs. Schuhmacher's life when her husband was brandishing an) axe.

Believed Case of Insanity. I t is believed that Mr. Schuhmacher

was the victim of insane jealousy and brooding, which finally unbalanced his mind and caused him to plan his own destruction, as well as that of his wife. I t is difficult to imagine that a man, acting like he did, was in his right mind.

Saturday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Schuhmacher, accompanied by their neighbors, Mr. and Mrs. John Carlson, had attended a local movie show, after which they returned home. Mr. Schuh macher did not act suspiciously at that time, but the following morning, upon arising, Mrs. Schuhmacher noticed tihat something was wrong with him. In spite of this, he went up to the high school building to look after the fires in the boilers, later returning home.

Takes First Poison Portion. The man suddenly became ugly and

morose. Taking a small bottle from his pocket, which, it was learned later, he had purchased at a local drug store Saturday evening on the pretense of desiring to kill rats, he emptied part of the contents into a glass, added a small quantity of water and drank the potion, hurling the glass to the floor and shattering it.

Mrs Schuhmacher became alarmed and rushed fromher home, adjoining the Broadway Grocery, to that of Mr, and Mrs Carlson, who occupy rooms in the rear of the late John F. Neumann residence on Second North street, back of the grocery store.

Attacks his Neighbor. Mr. Carlson was busy putting up his

stovepipes when Mrs. Schuhmacher entered, and a few moments later, Mr. Schuhmacher also came m. Mr. Carlson bid him the time of day and was greeted with a sharp blow from Mr. Schuhmacher's fist, which landed in the pit of his stomach and caused Mr. Carlson to fall from the chair upon which he was standing. Mr. Schuh­macher assumed a threatening attitude and Mr. Carlson, being less husky, felt unequal to the occasion and left the house, rather than precipitate an en­counter with his seemingly enraged neighbor.

Drinks Second Dose. Mr Schuhmacher took a cup from

the Carlson table, emptied the balance of the contents of his poison bottle into it, added water and drank the conco-tion. He then laid on the couch for a few minutes, the effects of the poison becoming noticeable f

Beats Up His Wife. When Mrs. Schuhmacher entered

the room where her husband was lying on the couch, the latter seemed to sum­mon his strength and arose, immediate­ly attacking his wife, whom he struck several times with his fists, causing an ugly bruise near the left eye and knock­ing her to the floor.

Another Neighbor Called. The Henry Koopman family, who re­

moved to New Ulm from Glencoe, last October, occupy the front part of the Newmann house, the Koopman and Carlson kitchens being separated only by an ordinary door. Mr. Koopman heard the commotion in the Carlson apartment and when Mrs. Carlson final­ly wrapped on the door, he opened it and inquired what the trouble was.

Schuhmacher becomes Deperate At this seeming intrusion, Mr. Schuh­

macher became desperately enraged and struck at Mr. Koopman, but the latter dodged the blow. Hi? assailant jumped back a few steps and stripped

• off his coat. His eyes were literally aflame and his face was terribly con­

to r t ed , giving him the appearance of a wild man. tf./N 1 i *

Noticing a crowbar standing just outside the door, and fearing that Mr. Schuhmacher would grasp it and again attack his wife, Mr. Koopman ran through his dining room into the bed-

n(room and secured his revolver, which, ' "^however, was not loaded. Returning i i,A to where he had left Mr. Schuhmacher, J p h e met the latter face to face, >only

The following article, telling of the death of a well-known former New Ulmite, was published in the Spokes­man Review of Spokane, Wash., Saturday, December 10, a clipping of which was sent to us, arriving here yesterday:

.Rudolph Kiesling, age 81, a resident of the Inland Empire, for 31 years, died of heart diasese last night at his home in Kiesling, east of Spokane, after a six weeks' illness.

Mr. Kiesling was born in Saxony, Germany, and came to the United States with his patents When six years old. They settled in Minnesota where Mr. Kiesling was married and where he pioneered, going through the Indian massacres of 1861. In 1890 the family moved to Spokane and Mr. Kiesling purchased 40 acres near Kieshng, which was named for him, planting it to fruit trees. This he cultivated until a few years ago when he sold most of it in small tracts.

Mr. Kiesling had been in excellent health in spite of his age until stricken with his last illness. He is survived by his widow, Augusta, also 81 years old; eight daughters, Mrs. Helen Nix and Miss Thekla at the home in Kies­ling, Mrs. Ralph E. Dyar of Spokane, Mrs. Louis Dyarof Wilbur, Mrs. Albert Seiter of Kiesling, Mrs. Oscar Seiter of Wenatchee, Mrs. C^ C. Holzel of Fresno, and Mrs.-Sophia Wagner of Spokane; also three sons, Fred W. of Spokane, H. A. and R. Kiesling of Wenatchee. The body is at Turnbull's. ,

A deplorable accident, which cul­minated fatally for Ernest Mathwig, well-known farmer residing about three miles south of Gaylord, occurred just on the outskirts of that village, Friday evening at about 6 o'clock. Mr. Mathwig suffered a fracture of the base of the skullrand died within an hour. t

Double Lights Confusing. The unfortunte man was struck by a

Ford roadster driven by Herbert Johnson of Klossner, employed in the Klossner Creamery, who was returning home after having attended court at Gaylord as a witness in the civil action brought by Dr. J. T. Jacobson, Win-throp veterinarian, against Martin Sylvester. George Scheman of Wm-throp was driving into Gaylord and the two cars met at the place of the accident I t is believed, that Mr. Mathwig, who was walking in the center of the street, although there is a sidewalk on either side, became con­fused by the double lights, and the lights of the Scheman car partly blind­ed Mr. Johnson, who is a young man of about 21.

S t ruck While Fal l ing, f From the evidence revealed at the

coroner's inquest, which was con­ducted by Coroner Dr. W. P . Olson of Gaylord before 6 jurymen shortly after the accident, Mr. Mathwig must have stumbled and fell, being struck by the roadster while falling, as a part of the car hit him on the cheek and caused the skull fracture. A hemorr­hage, resulted shortly afterward, and the injured man died within an hour.

Mr. Johnson was driving only about 10 or 15 miles per hour when the ac­cident ocurred and was able to stop his auto within six feet of the spot where Mr. Mathwig was struck. He stopped, alighted and held the man in his arms until the doctoT arrived. tSr^f! Exonerated by Verdict . ^Testimony given by eye-witnesses at the coroner's inquest-exonerated Mr. Johnson from all blame, and the jury returned a verdict to the effect that death was dne %^n^cddent.

Dr. -and Mrs. D. V. Glysteen of Lamberton were guests at the Dr. G. F. Heyieke 'home, 'Wednesday and Thursday of last week. **.*>•

With 68 cases on the civil calendar, of which 43 were noticed for jury trial, it looks as though the December term of the Brown county district court, which was formally opened Monday morning at 10 o'clock, Judge Olsen presiding, would last not only up to Christmas but well into January. Of the total number on the civil calendar, only three were reported settled and two were continued until the next term, while the balance, numbering 20, will be tried before the court at this term or during vacation. ";

Two Grand J u r o r s Excused. Of the grand jurors, John Haala was

excused on account of sickness in the family, Oscar A. Swenstad failed to put in an appearance. I t was reported that he also had desired to the excused on account of sickness in his family. J. S. Watson of Springfield was named foreman of the grand jury by Judge Olsen, and R. C. Schmid of the same place was elected clerk. The grand jury will have a t least three criminal cases to examine into, the defendants having been bound over to the district court after a preliminary examination in justice court.

A. A. Senium pberger is acting as deputy clerk of court and Joseph Weissenborn and Charles Lindemann, Sr., are bailiffs for the petit jury and George Polta bailiff of the grand jury.

34 Gran ted Cit izenship. Of the 46 applications for citizenship,

filed with Clerk of Court Carl f. Manderfeld, 34 were granted, while the other 12 were either continued or de-. nied." T. G. Griffiths of St. Paul repre­sented the Federal government at the hearing and examined the applicants. The following were accepted as new citizens of the United States by order of Judge Olsen: John Pleniger, Charles Sehreiner, Fred Bauermeister, John Wendt, Albert G. Plagens, Henry Konakowitz, Fred Fehd, Ernest A-Hopkins, Alois Lamecker, Charles F . Ratzke and Kurt R.

Mr. Mansppr came to America from the Holy Land about nine years ago. Through mere chance he located in New Ulm in May, 1914, and he wag so well pleased with our beautiful little city and the hospitality of its inhabitants, that hei decided to remain here, and this hasj since been his home. Through his un­tiring efforts and friendly courteous manner, he has built up a good-sized patronage in this section, and is rather reluctant to leave his xnany friends, but the opportunities offered in St. Paul are very promising and he felt that he could not afford to ignore them. Mr. Mansoor asked the Review to ex­press for him his appreciation of the many kindnesses extended to him by our readers, and says that his friends will always 'find a welcome if they call on him aV his new location

He was first chosen i-esident in 1897, so that a t the close of hi" present term, in December, 1922j»he will have served as executive of tflg large and prosperous organization for a quarter of a century. Other officers elected are: Vice-president, Arthur Penkert; recording secretary, Otto Tappe; finan­cial secretary, William A.

greeted Mrs. Elizabeth Tausch at Turner Hall, Monday evening, who had come here to explain to the citizens of New Ulm the necessity of continuing the child-feeding work in Germany, Which is now being done by the Quakers and which will come to an end unless the Americans of Cerman descent in Hhh country will be able to raise $3,000,000 of the $5,000,000 fund which is necessary to continue the re­lief work until the crops are harvested next year. I t may not be generally known, but it is a fact, that the Ger­man government has agreed to supply $2,000,000 ot this fund, if the balance is raised in this country as is now con­templated. a t

Pleasing Personal i ty . ^ V*" Mrs. Tausch has a pleasing personal­

ity and impressed Tier hearers with her message, which is not solely for the purpose of just simply appeasing the hunger of hundreds of thousands of children in Germany, but it is for the purpose of saving those upon whom will, in years to come, fall the burden of upholding the traditions and the ideals of the German p e o p l e . ^ Ac­cording to t h e speaker the large middle-class of Germany, those who represent the real German culture, are in a fair way to disintegrate and crumble away unless outside help, in sufficient quantities, is forthcoming and at once.

S tuden t s Become Idiots . J* Mrf^ Tausch 'mentioned^innumer-

ablercases of you^g men who were at^ tending universities and other higher institutions of learning, who, on ac­count of insufficient food, especially brain-building foods, broke down un­der the strain, became idiots and had to be taken to insane asylums for treat­ments.-^ This, the jspeaker said, will continue, unless conditions in Central Europe will soon be materially im­proved* and pointed out that the citi­zens in this country of German ex­traction should consider it an honor to help along in such a noble cause. She also told in what poor circum­stances the families of professors in Germany/?live. The profiteers in Germany, she said, live high, of course, as they do in all countries, and the

^families of the working people are not so badly off, because they succeeded in getting wage increases from time to time, which was not the case for the (teachers, doctors, lawyers, editors, sartists and the intelligents in general, who are actually suffering want and are facing starvation. ^J^fs i i f

Drs. Strickler, Dubbe and Von B a n k Have Removed Their B ^ Cl inic in to F ine Sui te . ;>£ £& . *i&

Drs. O. C. Strickler, F . H. Dubbe and 'William J. Von Bairk are now com­fortably located in their elegant new quarters in the^Mrs. E. A. Pfefferle building over the Schmucker & Burk Pharmacy, where they occupy a thoroughly remodeled, freshly decorat­ed suite of 14 rooms. The new loca­tion will be known as the Drs. Strict-1, ler-Dubbe-Von Bank -Clinic.

The front suite of three rooms is occupied by Dr. Strickler as office, consulting and examination rooms. Another suite of three rooms, contain­ing hke quarters, is occupied by Dr. Dubbe, while Dr. Von Bank has a three-room suite in the rear, com­prising his office, dental operating room and dental laboratory. 'In addi­tion, there is a large, airy and well-lighted general waiting room, -with which each doctor's suite is connected. Then there is a minor surgery room, where insignificant operations .are per­formed; a modern X-ray laboratory, complete in every detail, and a regular laboratory. "->'"'*' ~ ' * ~

The rooms are well-lighted by three large skylights, the center one being ingeniously arranged to admit daylight into several adjoining rooms. This arrangement was designed by Architect A. -G. Plagens of this city, who pre­pared the plans, and permits daylight to enter every room in the suite.

The Strickler-Dubbe ' offices was formerly located over the State Bank of New Ulm, while Dr. Von Bank had his dental offices in the Ottomeyer Block over J. M. Meyer's jewelry store. fc ,

Contracts for bridgeb in the New Ulm highwater crossing project on Minnesota Trunk Highway No. 7, were awarded, Monday, by Charles M. Babcock, state highway commissioner, to the Illinois Steel Bridge Company of St. PauLM> ^ * ^\*~ir^ k^ %p $48,792 for Both Bridges.

The proposal on the 321- and 225-foot combined concrete and steel structures is at a price of $48,792 under the Illinois Company's bid and the completion date is fixed as May 1. Investigations convinced Commission­er Babcock and his associates that the above bid was the best, all things con-sidered f W , f ff!

Grading Cont rac t Soon. The contract for grading on the high-

water crossing is one of the first on a new list of proposed lettings on which a call f oi bids is to be made soon. Both the bridge construction and excavating are to be included in the emergency winter program to relieve unemploy­ment and speed needed highway im­provements according to present plans.

Fanned by a high wind from the nqrthwest, fire badly damaged the old municipal electric light and water plant on First North street, last night and but for the valiant work of the local Fire Department, the structure would have been doomed, as the blaze was rampant between the ceilin6 and roof of the building, over the boiler room. The conflagration was discovered at about 7 o'clock by work- !

men in the new municipal plant, which adjoins the old structure to the west, and it required nearly three? hours of hard work on the part of the fire laddies to extinguish the blaze. '•"•'''Wind Causes Conflagration. *' «

The exact cause of the fire is not known, but it is believed that the high wind caused an arc between main lead , electric wires from which the insula-J" tion had been worn off. The blazed originated in the cupola on the roofi About a year ago, a similar fire was* discovered in time to be extinguished? before it had gained sufficient head-^ way to do any damage. *n i J *• * /

Machinery Water-soaked. . The machinery still in the old p l a n t s - ^

including two steam engines^ dynamos^ ;^J water pumps and switchboard, was JP* water-soaked, but the firemen sue- vu ceeded in preventing the flames from * reaching it. While it will requira * ** some time to clean up and make thesi vv> necessary minor repairs on this ma- ' ' ^ chinery, the loss is not very great, due, J ^ to the fact that the heat of the fire did t * not penetrate^Jlatrpai^oTthle s t r t r t t u r ^ ^ * to any considerable extent. ^ ^

Insurance Expired Sunday, - t r,» g The old municipal plant was insured ' -Jf

for $40,000, of which one-half was OIM£"V^ the structure and the other half on the , ^ contents. This policy expired Sun--' ?*| day noon, but the city council secured * *% a renewal in ample time to safeguard-^ { Z the city. The new policy is for half the former amount, which is equally divided on the structure and contents, as it was believed that $20,000 would cover the loss, should the plant be , "* destroyed by fire, -^ " S%S-

total darkness from the beginning of the fire until about midnight, and as a rfesult, the Review plant was minus light and power, so that we wer3 un-able to print this week's issue until to­day (Wednesday). Just as soon as the fire was extinguished and it was safe for workmen to enter the badly charred building, Superintendent Her­bert Huevelmann had his men busy making the necessary connections and alterations to provide electricity to t h i south end of the city.
