Now comes an interesting local story
~ Sam Newhouse. the copper king
Who has been startling the East lately
With his stupendous financial deals.
Two weeks ago the papers through
ut the whole country printed an item
alling of his paying a s2S3,o0o insur-
nee premium to secure an $1,000 an
Iuity with 5000, 900 at death. Last week
he New York papers and others
throughout the East contained scare
head items exploiting his purchase for
5000 cash of the "flat-iron" plot at
,he corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty
third street.
In Scranton. where Newhouse was
yorn, and for long time, lived. these
stories were read with especial inter-
'st. and among all the residents of the
city no one, possibly, read them with
kNener interest than Jacob Bryant, the
Jefferson avenue boarding housekeeper.
HE OWED FOR RENT.
Some twenty odd years ago Mr.. Bry-
ant was the owner of the house at
the corner OF Quincy avenue and Null
berry street, now the residence of Col
Onel l.. A. Watres. and Sam Newhouse
vas his tenant When Newhouse left
Scranton he was insolvent, and among
his unpaid bills was one for 1925 for
back rent
Mr.. Byrant had given up all hopes
years ago, of ever realizing anything
on the rent claim and possibly never
thought of It after it had been out
lawed. except when, I'm recent years,
the papers contained an account Of
some Of his many startling financial
exploits.
The recent raft of these stories kept
the thing in Mr.. Bryants mind for a
longer period than usual, and the re-
suit was a determination to try dun
on his nulti-millionaire debtor.
He did it and 1t brought the desired
result. In carefully worded letter
directed to Mr.. Newhouse's New York
address, ne reminded him OF the un.
paid rent bill. and stated that the s12t
would be very acceptable just now.
RECEIVED A CHECK.
Yesterday Mr.. Bryant received a let.
ter from Newhouse enclosing a checl
for $780, and stating that he had for
gotten all about the bill but now clear
| ly remembers it,
Mr.. Bryant is thankful that hi!
| former tenant has a good memory.
