BOGUS BOY COUNT
SON OF PEASANT
Courts Decision Uncovers
Long Deception Among
German Nobility.

BERLIN, Dec. 21.-The high court at
Posen today declared that Count Igua-
cius Kwilecki was childless. that the
boy count, Joseph Kwilecki who passed
as his son and heir, is no count, but
the son OF peasant, and that he must
be restored to his mother. who brought
suit TO get possession Of him.
The difficulty. which ends a six-year
law suit, uncovered a tale of deception
that astonished the country.
II was brought out in the suit, which
was originally brought by q peasant
girl. Cecilia Meyer. against the execu-
tors OF the estate~~of Count Ignacius
Kwilecki for possession OF her son: that
several years ago she surrendered her
newly born child to agents representing
Countess Kwileck; that the child was
smuggled 70 the home Of the countess
and the next day it was announced that
the countess had given birth to a son,
while, as a matter Of fact. she was and
continued childless.
The child was accepted as the heir to
THE vast Kwilecki estates, but, in ac-
tcorda nee with today's decision, he will
now be restored to his mother and the
estates viii revert to the rightful heir,
Count Hector Kwilecl1i.

NEEDED, A VALLEY SPIRIT

II may be- that good deal Of the
fault of the failure Of these springs to
catch on has been due to u fault Of
our own, 10 the need Of Il valley spirit.
The people of the Pecos Valley are
the host in the world, but no people are
perfect, and 1t may be that this is
where the impcrfcction lies with US.
Other eases may be sited. Take for
example the oil aud gas business at
Dayton. Roth are there all right, but
their discovery and development has
little more than raised a furry. Any.
where In the United States IL would
have caused boom that would have
made all Of the old.timcrs rich. Here
thousands of dollars were spent in
totally unlikely places, and then the
feeling went dcadcr than a mackerel,
became Of truth n passing joke.
Ar,esia n number of years ago con.
ceived an idea of an annual alfalfa fcs.
tival, n yearly exhibition open 20 all
the valley, which would show TO the
outside world what a wonderful slope
this is. The loyal boosters boosted for
all they were worth, and the drs, show
was n tremendous success far as the
exhibit went, Everybody In the immedi'
ate surrounding country was there, but
they knew all about il already. Even
tho Santa fe, usually alive to all coun'
try building schemes, fro,c up, giving
n merely nominal rate and failing "a

boosters realized then and realize now
that the idea is golden one, that
there is no reason why it should not
