BROTHER OF VILLA
WOUNDED IN DUEL
Friends Suggest That he Aspire
to Place Vacated by Burgess
Herman Ridder is perhaps the
best known Gel’man-American
in this country and Germany.
He was born in New York City
sixty-four years ago and started
his career as an errand boy in a
hat store when he was 11 years
old.
Columbus, May 18.—Hon. Geo
F. Burgess having announced
that he would not be a candidate
to succeed himself as represen-
tative of the ninth congressional
district, the many friends of
J. J. Mansfield of Columbus are
urging him to announce as Mr.
Burgess’ successor.
As president of the Colorado
River Improvement association,
which association has been in-
strumental in bringing to the
attention of the public the pos-
sibilities of the Colorado river as
a navigable stream, Judge Mans-
field has been a prominent factor
in starting a work which will re-
sult in incalcuable good to the
people of Texas from Austin to
the gulf.
No better qualified man and
no man more worthy to succeed
Hon. Burgess could be found
than Judge Mansfield. It is con-
sidered very probable that Jud-
ge Mansfield will make the race.

and
El Paso, Texas, May 17.—Gen-
eral Antonio Villa, brother of
General Franciso Villa, was shot
in the head and mortally wound-
ed in a duel in Chihuahua last
night, according to verified re-
ports received here. The shoot-
ing occurred in a saloon during
a political argument. It is said
that Colonel Pulido, a well known
Mexican commander, was killed
and that several others were
struck by flying bullets during
the duel at close range.
General Villa was notified by
telegraph of his brother’s condi-
tion and replied that he would
start for Chihauhau immediately.
Hippolito Villa, General Villa’s
representative in Juarez, has also
started for his brother’s bedside.

Another shop, on the O. H.
Rudloff lot, close to the postoffice,
has been opened up for business
this week by Peter Neshyba and
Arthur Becker. Any work en-
trusted either of these shops will
receive prompt and the very best
of attention. Look up their ads
on another page of this issue.
The commencement exercises
of the New Ulm High School
were held last Friday at Frnka’s
hall. After a splendid address
along educational lines, Super-
intendent C. N. Shaver of Bell-
ville, made a short talk and hand-
ed the diplomas to the two grad-
uates, Miss Olga Reichle and
Herbert Kuehn.
Music for the
was furnished
and Erna Find,
Rubin Freis.
When the dinner bell of this nation
rings there have been slaughtered for
the repast 13,000 beeves, 21,000 hogs,
4,600 sheep, 2,000 hundredweight of
poultry and other meats, and there
have been 700,000 bushels of cereals
and 540,000,000 pounds of vegetables
prepared for the feast. Multiply these
quantities by one thousand, repre-
senting approximately the number of
meals per annum, and we have the
annual contents of the nation’s larder.
But with all our immense quantity,
superb quality and wide range of pro-
ducts, the American housewife, like
the wife of King Nebuchadnezzar,
longs for variety and she goes market-
ing in foreign lands. She buys abroad
$200,000,000 pei annum of farm pro-
ducts that can and should be produced
in the United States.

New York, May 16 —Herman
Ridder, owner and editor of the
Staats Zeitung, is seriously ill in
his home here. He is suffering
from a complication of diseases,
which were aggravated by over-
work, due to his tireless efforts
in behalf of the German cause.
Last December Mr. Ridder
went South with his wife in a
vain search of health,
not been in his office
months and is said to
weak.

The new machine shop,
across the street from Kellner
& Co. to be known as the K. K.
Mechanical Works & Garage, is
rapidly nearing completion. The
building will be entirely of cor-
rugated iron and will be operated
by E. E. Kretzschmar and M. W.
Krueger. The shop, when com-
pleted, will be thoroughly equip-
ed in every respect, enabling the
community to have done most
anything in the way of machine
repairing, no matter whether it
is only a small pump bn the well
or the most complicated engine.

The boys heartily appreciated
the cordial treatment extended
to them by the people of Sealy,
and it is hoped that New Ulm
may have the pleasure of doing
the same to their team in the
near future.
Otto Aurich.
Last Sunday afternoon, at 2
o’clock, after a brief illness,
death claimed Otto Aurich, a
veteran citizen of Austin county,
He was born September 14th,
1835, at Chemnitz bei Limbach,
Saxony. In the year 1854 he
emigrated to America, making
Austin county his homo for over
half a centory.
In 1866 he was united in mar-
riage to Mi.sj? Wilhelmina Korth,
who, with seven children .still
survive.
- Mr. Aurich has experienced
the freedom and hardships of a
.pioneer life. He was among the
first German settlers of Austin
county, and possessed toa mark-
ed degree these sterling traits of
mind and heart—industry, pati-
ence, honesty and tenacity of
purpose which have made the
wilderness and desert blossom
and fruit with the blessings and
graces of civilization wherever
these sturdy pioneers have carv-
ed a home in a new land.
His remains were laid to rest
in the New Ulm cemetery Mon-
day afternoon, at 4 o’clock be-
neath a mound of beautilul flow-
ers,^fully testifying to the high
esteem deceased was held.
To the bereaved relatives the
Enterprise joins a large circle of
friends in extending sincerest
sympathy.
Again misfortune, if such we
may call it, compels us to chron-
icle the defeat of the locals; but
/ remember, “the da kest hour is
always just before dawn.”
Sunday’s defeat by the Hay-
ne’s Mattress team at the Santa
Fe Park, in Sealy, is the third
“Waterloo” we have suffered
this season, but there is no rea-
son whatever to give up and fall
asunder in disgust. When Jack
Johnson defeated Jeffries, the
heavyweight champion of the
world, and was proclaimed mas-
ter of the ring, countless admir-
ers in sheer disgust, without any
foundation whatever gave up all
hope; yet there were men who
not only entertained the idea that
Johnson could not forever hold
the championship, but knew that
sooner or later he would fall un-
der the heavy blows of stronger
hand. Several attempts were
made to wrest the honor from
the black warrior, but all in vain,
until recently, when he found
his equal in the person of Jess
Willard.
Isn’t this proof enough wher-
ever the spirit of confidence pre-
vails with a limited amount of de-
______termination on the part of both
the players and the manager,
that we need not give up. We
are more than gratified to note
that this spirit prevails among
the boys and that we have the
material to make a team that is
' destined to come to 1he front
within the near future — a team
that will make a creditable show-
ing against any amateur team.
Daily practice so far has not
been indulged in, since all play-
ers have employment of some
kind that keeps them busy all
day. Considering these and a
few other minor disadvantages
the team is compelled to battle
with, it is safe to say, there is
probably no second team that
would make the showing they
have. Fayetteville has a splen-
team and so has Sealy. So far
three games have been played,
and while the outcome was not
exactly in favor of the locals, by
scores, the boys have gained
wonderfully in various respects,
and the future seems very
bright.
Tne ..... ~~
—layettevi 11 e Sunday afternoon,
at 3 o’clock, on the local diamond.
Everybody come out and see the
game! With the experience
gained lately, the locals are con-
fident of victory, and the fight
for the cherished honor will be
worth seeing.
Scoring for Sealy started in
the first inning when Cook got
hit and after stealing second and
third came in on Hill’s bunt. Tn
the second, two runs were made
after Kurtz singled, stole second
and came in on Reneau’s single;
Reneau scoring on anoverthrow.
In the third, Hili singled, stole
second, going to third on Malich's
single and scored on a passed
ball. Another run was made by
Sealy in the sixth when Rudloff
got hit, and stole second, coming
in on Kurtz’ double to left.
New Ulm made the first score
