THE INACCURACIES
OF NEWSPAPERDOM
Some Specimens Of How Little
Things Grow Big in
Print.

The following true story, prepared
for the Commoner by a citizen of
Beeville, Texas, illustrates the mac
curacies that sometimes creep into
items of news. What yol see in the
papers cannot always be relied upon,
even when there is no motive Tor
incorporating:
William Longsdorf, an aged and
one-time prosperous bachelo.' of
Beeville, Tex, retrieving the hahili-
ments of former days, rammed his
feet into a pair of old boots which
he had some years before cast aside.
An obstruction in the toe of one of
to be a $50 bill. The village news
paper man duly recorded the find in
the columns of his paper, and also
sent 1t to the nearest city paper Of
which he was correspondent. The
telegraph editor, acting on the re-
Election that a naught, more or less.
made little difference, added to the
Importance of the item by increas-
ing the find to $500. In the same
office the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press abided. The item was
passed to the patrons of that great
news-gathering agency, but with the
added improvement of a naught.
Mr.. Longsdorf's distant and remote
relatives, some as far away as Ger
many Immediately sat up and took
notice and he was the recipient of
many kind and congratulatory let
tiers over his good fortune. Years
passed, and the incident was for
gotten by its original chronicler un-
til one day he happened to pick up
a family story paper, and among the
notsam and jetsam headed, Items
of Interest" he observed the follow
ing interesting bit of news:
William Longsdorf, an aged and
eccentric bachelor of Beeville, Tex,
has just found $4,000 in bank
notes in an old boot, where he had
placed them years ago and forgotten
the incident"
But, most unfortunate of all!
When Mr.. Longsdorf took his $50
note to the village bank to get it
changed, the cashier was dubious of
its looks, and forwarded it for in
spection to the nearest subtreasury.
1t was returned with the following
legend stamped across it's face

by that two men have knowledge
which will lead to the arrest of the
