In 1878 Storey went to Europe and there
suffered paralytic shock. He me back a
different Storey. Though but 60 years of
age he appeared veritable patriarch.
There was far-away look in hi, eyes Then
began the last struggles of a once peerless
mind to resume its former activity. Grand
schemes, wonderful energy, then sudden
changes of plans, and finally a return to the
original plan. First the newspaper. then
the castle. Every day or two the style of
makeup and OF headlines in his paper was
changed. It made the printers and the
readers dizzy to follow him. Almost daily
al erations IN the plans for the palace nearly
broke the architects heart Then came his
trouble with sewer gas. TO sewer gas he at
tribu,ed all of his ills He employed spirit
medium to attend him The Little Squaw''
and the White Lily were ever in his
thoughts. Sewer gas was to him the worlds
demon, the Little Squaw its angel He
died driv,ling imbecile from the top

These charges have not teen proven On
the other hand, it appears that the office
party have set out deliberately to thwart
the will of the man who created the paper
upon which they live. The will of 1879,
drawn by Storey himself, gives Mrs Storey
all of the estate, lncladng the raper; but
