litigation and now he wants the president
TO assist him In regainlng the property. He
said he had come to Chicago in the hops
of securing the sympathy OF some promi-
nent attorney but had been unsuccessful
and was almost discouraged. He had
called on Senator Mason In order to per-
suade the latter to assist him in securing
what he wanted from the president The
senator ia not In the city. Another ap-
pointment was made with the man on the
suspicion that he was crank and detect
iyls were sent for, but Scholder did not

he did not have the appearance OLA crank.
He had been in Chicago three weeks, pen
