sum of SIC, 691, received from his faith

OWNER OF SEAL
SKIN SACQUE is HERE
Story Current as She was
About TO Make Concert
Tour.

Miss Mae Landegan of New Rochelle
New York. arrived in the Sierra yes
terday, and is registered at the Ha-
waiian hotel. The dispatches OF
month ago told of a five days sensa-
ton which a sealskin sacque belonging
to Miss Landegan caused in that Mite
town, an incident which almost cost
her a concert tour OF the Hawaiian
Islands. and resulted in her instituting
a suit for $25 900 damages against
furrier for malicious prosecution.
Miss Landegan asked for damages
for being subjected to the humiliation
of public arrest and trial on charge
of getting possession of a seaiskln
sacque by trick The suit is against
Haas. a ladies' tailor, opposite the
waldorf Astor. on Fifth avenue The
sealskin sacque belonged to Miss Ian
degan. who was then living at the
home of her sister in New Rochelle
Miss Landegan said she went to Haas
store with some sealskin, which she
asked to have made up into hand
some sacque for her trip to Honolulu.
The made-up coat was sent to MISS
Landegan and a bill for 1887 accom-
panied it, Miss Landegan criticised
Haas workmanship, but kept the
sacaue. The messengers had been in
structed by the furrier to leave the
garment only in case the $13I was pald.
According to the press account Haas
not getting sacque or money, swore
out a warrant for the arrest OF MISS
Landegan and her sister, charging
them with wrongfully getting posses
sion of the valuable jacket. An inter-
esting trial followed. Everything was
conducted as if his honor was presid-
ing at a pink tea, and in the end the
ladies were bowed out of the court
room fully eXOnerated.
