Stryker Feared
Court House
Would Be Taken
So He Hired Three Men to Guard it
from Taft, Morton, King
and Eagles.

George Stryker, custodian of the court
house, was fearful lest President Taft,
General Morton, King Ak-Sar-Ben XIV or
the Eagles might steal the court house
while the parades were passing.
Stryker accordingly retained James
Allen, Ed Leeder. Julius J~anowskyN and
William Norton to guard the court house
grounds during the Taft, Eagles and Ak
Sar-Ben parades.'
They were retained at 50 per day apiece,
but Janowsky and Norton were on vigilant
watch only two days each.
1t does not appear from the bill whether
the four watched lest Taft and King Ak
sar-Ben steal the building or grounds, or
whether Stryker was most afraid of the
officers of the Department of the Missouri
and of the Eagles.
The bill submitted to the county com
missioners and approved by them in COM
mittee of the whole, is this:
James Allen, four lays at 3........S 12
Ed Leeder, four days at $3......... 10
Julius Janowsky, two days at S3.... a
William Norton, two days at $S.......... 6
AOeai $3.50
To guarding court house grounds during
Taft, Eagles and ~Ak-saFBen parades.

This disease, which is battling the physi-

BIT ON "0LD LACE"
New York Women Gave Up Thousands
to Bogus Countess.

New York. Jan. 15.-"Rare old
lace" as retailed by a mysterious wo-
man from Paris, represent ing herself
as countess, cost several New York
women more than $4,000. The
Countess who arrived at the st. Regis
hotel in this city about a month ago,
armed with apparently unquestioned
letters of introduction from Paris, ac-
companied by maid, toy dog and
followed by nine trunks, is missing.
She announced before her departure
that a friend had invited her to visit
her home and that she would tenn
porarlly givt Up her apartments in the
hotel. It is said that she is by now
either in France or on her way there.
'"The rare old lace" which the woman
said had been handed down to her
from the courts of Louis XIV and
Louis XIV, is declared by lace experts
here to be practically valueless. This
is the verdict of one importer, who
examined some of the samples:
'I can hardly see how you were so
easily duped. This lace is a cheap
imitation and was made in this coun-
try Not a piece you have with you
was made outside of New York, and it
is all machine made at that"
