ANTIQUE VIOLIN IS
REAL STRAD|VAR|US

There Is real Stradivarius violin,
one of the genuine variety and made
in the year 1876, now in this city. 1t
is in the possession Of A. H, Johnson,
leader of the local orchestra, and
never did Mr.. Johnson have charge of
anything he valued more highly.
The violin in question is the prop
erty of Sam Smith, an old violinist,
and was secured by the latter in west
ern Oregon many years ago. But it
was only recently that the real value
of the instrument became known. 1t
had become SO badly worn that re-
pairs were needed, and so Mr.. John
son sent il to a Battle Creek, Mich,
establishment for repairs. 1t was
there that the discovery of the vio-
Inns make" was made. Inside the
body of the fiddle was stamped the
words "Antonius Stradivarius 1886"
According to the opinion Of the ex-
perts at the factory the violin is un-
questionably genuine and 1t is one of
the, best made violins in existence.
Its value was placed by the Michigan
people at $500,
