MAYOR DEAD FAKE!
Rumor from Unkno70R Source
Sets CitU Hall -AStir.

The identity OF the chattering idiot who
yesterday started the rumor at the city
Hall that Mayor Mcclellan had dropped
dead in Richmond Borough. whittier he
went yesterday on a visit of inspection.
may never be disclosed. but his idle tale
certainly cut a large figure I'm the life-of
the City Hall for solid hour between $50
and $50 o'clock
''What's that-McClellan dead?" asked
one Of Big Tim Sullivan's heelers.
Yep. dropped dead hunting mosquitoes
with Or. Darlington" was the prompt an
swer. AT least. that's what the Mayors
Office just got from Tompkinsvile," he
added.
Say. Gully" suggested another lounser.
why didn't that happen 10 Hearst before
he got Murphy's letters away from him?"
A rush was made 10 the Mayors office.
Secretary Frank O'Brien didn't get ratified
a bit.
Probably q fake. II Is a cold day and
the stove committee in Sailors Snug Har-
Dor is working overtime" said the expert
enced Mr.. O'Brien.
What's that-McClellan dropped dead?"
repeated William A. Willis. executive sec
rotary Of the Mayors Office. When did II
happen &"
.One forty-five. according to rumor." was
the answer .
Certainly not at 145." answered Mr.. VII
IFS for had Dr. Doty. who is with the
Mayor, on the phone at o'clock. and no
one in the Mayors party had dropped dead
up 10 that time"
Slowly the rumor mongers strolled back
down the corridor, theorizing.
Say. old horse" suggested ''beery"
man 10 ex-senator Jack" Fitzgerald II
know what happened. II amt Mcclellan
that's dropped dead. nor II amt Charlie
Murphy that's dropped dead. It's that guy
Hearst feel II in my bones"
How do you make n out?"
why. he dropped dead from laughing

This last rumor probably was nearer cor
rect than the original one about Mcclellan.
At about $50 O'Clock Secretary Willis got
into communication with the Mayor. who
had returned TO Tompkinsville. IN company
with DR. Doty. from a trip 10 the mosquito
marshes.
Mayor Mcclellan lost no time in calling
up Mrs. Mcclellan 10 reassure her. but the
rUmor had not reached her.
