S1OCKSECHLAEDER
FAMILY IN CITY
Germans Who Are Touring
Continent on Wager Ar
rived Here Yesterday.
ARE NINE IN THE PARTY
LEFT NEW YORK APRIL, 1905,
AND ARE TO GET TO SAN FRAN.
CISCO BY APRIL, 1908, IN ORDER
TO GET $1o,ooo-Go sY WAGON.

Joseph Stocksechlaeder, wife and
seven children, touring the country
from the Atlantic to the Pacific on a
$4,000 wager, arrived in the city yes
terday morning from New Paris, and
are now at the corner of South Sew.
Nnth and G Streets.
The story OF the trip goes back to
the school days in Germany.
Stocksechlaeder had a friend by the
name of Bob Bodenstein, who was ed
ucated in one of the German universi-
ties, and when the two came to this
country on the same ship in 1878, Bo-
denstein took charge of the German
department of the New York World.
Herald and Stocksechlaeder took up
his residence upon a farm near
Rochester, n. Y The two always
remained on visiting terms.
How the Wager Was Made.
About three years ago, w. L. Rice,
and Ed Campbell, both millionaires,
of New York, returned from an auto.
mobile tour to the Western coast,
each carrying three revolvers in his
belt. When the two alighted from
the machine in front of the Eureka
club, at 62nd and Broadway, they
were greeted by their fellow members
and asked why they assumed such an
hostile entrance to the home city.
Rice answered that: I'D like to see
the man travel this country unpro-
tected." Bodenstein, the newspaper
man, spoke up, and said: I've got
a friend with wife and seven chill
dren, who will cross the continent un-
protected, provided you give 'em mon
ey enough Rice reiterated:
There's $4,000 ready any moment
that the man wants to go-under my
conditions"
Conditions of the Wager.
That was the beginning of the trip.
The next time that Bodenstein visited
his friend he told him of the PROPOSE
ton, and after a great deal of deliber-
ating, Stockse chlaeder and his wife
finally agreed to go and signed the
following contract of four parts:
1st. To leave New York April 1st,
1905, penniless.
End. To leave with not more than
one suit of clothes to each member of
the family.
