Brendel, button cutter at the Van

South Muscatine, of royal blood?
Several who have been IN conver-
sation with him, and who have
through curiosity investigated his
family history, are of the opinion that
he is second cousin of Nicholas, the
present czar of Russia. Brendel, how
ever, denies the statement and lays
no claim to royal ancestry. Theodore
son of his brother Gottlieb Brendel.
who also resides in this city, tells a
story which, although disconnected
and rather loose as to some of the
details, is believed by those who have
heard it. What is puzzling those who
are of the opinion that the man is of
royal descent, is why he would leave
the luxurious surroundings which the
children tell about, to take up a
humble residence and occupation in
this country. Mr.. Brendel is fluent
conversationalist in both the English
and Russian languages, and possesses
manners which are most refined.
