Theodore Max Streu, Servian, is Sta.

Special to Times Republican.
Manchester, May 27.-Theodore Max
Streu, the station agent at Numa, a
small town In Appanoose county, this
state, who is attaining so much motor
siety in the Iowa papers on account OF
his claim to the royal throne of Servia,
was formerly resident of Manchester
and has many friends here who re-
member him as hard working. but
somewhat eccentric telegraph operator.
Manchester is the first town that Streu
settled in after coming to America
from Europe, and after living nere
for some time, he finally married a
young lady residing near Thorpe, a
small station on the Chicago, Great
Western road, six miles north of here.
where Streu was stationed for several
months after he arrived in this vicinity.
Steu often talked to his friends here
OF his firm conviction that he was the
rightful heir to the throne of King
Lazar and claimed to be great-great
grandson OF that famous old monarch.
He has evidently not given up the idea
of some day coming into what he cpn-
siders his just rights and should he
succeeded in proving his claims, there
are number OF people in Manchester
who will include Seryia in their tin
ierary the next time they tour the cons
tinent for they would be sure Of a
royal welcome at the court of their old
townsman, Theodore Max Streu.
