Saengerbund's Musicale

The Washington Saengerbund heard last
evening a ffteen-year-old soloist of the
Sioux tribe of American Indians His name
was Acita Zitkala-Ze, and his performance
provoked a veritable Juror. The selection
was Sits "Polonaise." Playing without
notes, the little fellow progressed from
movement to movement with an accuracy
and confidence which aroused the enthu-
siasm of the most critical students within
hearing. Mr.. Henry Xander, the director
Of the Bund and the boys accompanist,
was particularly delighted.
Zithala-ze is in part a Washington prod
uct. He was picked up ON a Sioux battle
field fifteen years ago by an American army
officer after an exciting scrimmage The
child's parents had been slain. The officer
brought him to Washington to have him
educated, and had him taught the violin.
He is now to finish his, musical instruction
abroad. hnaI

No end of gossip has been occasioned by
the action Of the grand jury now in session
here in returning four indictments against
the Montgomery County Agricultural Asso-
citation for the alleged violation of the anti
gambling law of the state. The cases grew
out Of the action of the Agricultural So
ciety in allowing the operation of numerous
alleged gambling devices at the recent coun-
ty fair.
1t Is stated that the fair grounds were
fairly alive with gambling schemes of diff
ferent descriptions, nearly all Of which were
alleged to be Skin games" of the worst
kind. At the converting of court two weeks
ago Judge Henderson called the attention
Of the grand jury to the matter, and urged
that thorough investigation be made, and
that those responsible for the operation OF
the games be indicted. The cases will prob
ably come up for trial within the next two
or three weeks The directors Of the society
are Messrs Lee Offutt, John II. Gassaway,

Old Building Torn Down to Make Way
for New One

The destruction of an old frame building
at the corner of Naylor road and Railroad
avenue, in Twining City, has caused a re-
vival of ancient memories among those peo-
pie acquainted with it's history. The house
was a small dwelling, one and one-half
stories in height, and was standing in 1914
when the British invaded Washington,
while just opposite it, crossing the Eastern
branch, was the bridge that was burned at
the same time. The exact date of the
construction of the house is not known.
The building and the acre of ground on
which it stood were part of the estate of
the late Thomas Berkeley. After the de-
struction of the bridge the road on which
the dwelling faced acquired the name of
the Burnt Bridge road. which has given
way to the name of Naylor road. The old
building was solidly constructed, as was
disclosed by an examination of the ruins,
Much of the timber used was hewn by hand,
1t is said. The property has been pur-
chased by Mr.. Robert F. Bradbury of
Twining City. and the house was torn down,
as it had become unfit for kabitation. aMl'-t
Bradbury will probably erect house there
later.

RI KED A FORTUNE FOR LOVE,
Miss McComb, of New York, Forfeits a
100000 Bequest by We'd
ding Mr.. Lewis HerZog.

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-Fannie Rayne
McComb has risked the loss of millions
for loves sake and has just married
Lewis Herzog. The ceremony was
performed by the Rev. Henry Van
Dyke at the Brick Presbyterian
church, this city, in the presence Of a
few Of the young peoples friends. The
bride is a daughter of the Millionaire
James J. McComb, who died on March
81 last at Dobb's Ferry.
Mr.. McComb objected to Herzog as a
prospective ~son-in-law, and a few days
before his death be added a codicil to
his will which has deferred the we'd
ding until the present. McComb's
fortune was estimated at the time OF
his death at upward Of $4,000, 600. BY
the provisions Of his will, which had
been In existence for years, his daugh'
ter Fannie would have received up
ward of "a, 200, 600. BY the cOdicil, it
was provided that il she were married
to Mr.. Herzog she should be cut of
with an income Of l $1,000 a year dur
ing her life, $500, 600 to go on her death
TO each Of her children absolutely.
Soon after her fathers death Miss
McComb, through her attorney, W.
W. McFarlane, brought suit against
the Title Guaranty s. Trust Company
executors Of her fathers will, seeking
to have the courts declare the new
codicil void. The courts refused x
consider the question prior to the mar
rage OF Miss McCumb.
