SUES FOR LOST SURNAME.
Clerks Oversight Robs Hjalner Leon
ard Of Patronymic.

Chiago, Dec 17.-Hjalmer Leonard,
6156 Honore street, robbed of his sur
name by an oversight. has appealed to
the courts to regain it.
Hjalmer inherited the name OF Bor-
dach from his forefathers and never
intended to give it up when he came
to America from Sweden, but when he
took out his naturalization papers the
clerk, through an oversight, omitted
the surname and Hjalmer Leonard
Bordach became just Hjalmer Leon
ard
Mr.. Leonard found that he could sell
goods just as well with an abbreviated
name and never troubled about the
mistake until he learned there was an
inheritance at stake. Now he has
filed a petition in the circuit court to
recover his lost patronymic.
