It is not generally known that we have
living in Milford the grandson OF noted
Hungarian patriot who hid Louis Kossuth
under large pile of Tobacco leaves in his
cellar, and thus saved him from the hands of
the Austrian executioner and enabled him
to escape to this country. This patriot was
Joseph Tausk, of Pirchof Trenchin Combat,
Hungary and his grandson is Henly f. Wes-
per, who can tell some interesting stories Of
the great Hungarian, who some years ago cre-
ated so much excitement in this country.
On another occasion when the sol!iers
searched Tausk's house and turned over tine
pile of tobacco, Kossuth was hidden under
the sick bed of Wespers mother, then ayoung
unmarried girl in her fathers house. Tausk S
property was confscated and he was thrown
into prison, where he remained until the
union of Hungary with the Austrian Empire.
K0ssuth escaped to America and afterYard
sent Tausk $4,000 to make UP to him the
loss he had suffered in aiding him to escape,
