BISHOP DENIES STORY.
La Crosse Man is Not Heir to
Fortune Left to Him by
His Mother.

la Crosse, Wis, Feb. S-[Special. I
The Leinfelder alleged 100000 fortune
has created much smoke in certain parts
Of the city, and the publication of the
alleged rights of Michael Leinfelder to
the land which is occupied by the Catho-
lie hospital and buildings has brought
forth vigorous statement on the part of
Bishop James Schwebach of the La
Crosse diocese which should clear ND
doubt which may exist in the minds of
Mr.. Leinfelder's friends. The statement
issued by the bishop says that Michael
Leinfelder is a son of Joseph Leinfelder
and his wife, Catherine Bauldauf. Mrs
Mary Herb, the sister of Michael Lem
folders father, entered ST. Francis hos
pital in Milwaukee in 1859. This is the
woman who Michael Leinfelder claims
to be his mother. In 1865 she went to
Jefferson, Wis. In the same year .Toseph
Leinfelder sent his two children, Michael
and Mary, now Sister Clara. to Jefferson.
where their aunt and the other sister at
the convent took care of them, because
their mother was in n hospital for the
insane at Cleveland. The bishop claims
that Mrs. Mary Herb never owned the
property on which the convent stands,
and only had $500 when she took the
veil The story to his immense fortune
would therefore seem mere fabrication.
