BUYS Stock in Free Bridge

St Louis, Sept. 24-E. Zenkmer
of Hamilton, Ohio, bears the distinc-
ton Of being the only man with stock
of the st. Louis free bridge in his
possession. He wrote a letter to
Mayor Kiel, confessing to owning five
shares of stock in this municipal en-
terprise, which he bought in St. Louis
last April for 81.
Zenkmer told the mayor, in tear
full letter, that he was in St. Louis in
April, and went down to the levee to
see bridge without any approaches.
He met "a nice young man" with
five shares of stock in the bridge
which he would sell cheap. The
young man told Zenkmer, so he
wrote, that when the city passed the
bonds to build the approaches the
stock would soar to 500 a share,
and that he had better get in on the
ground floor while the stock was
cheap.
Zenkmer got in. Then he took the
next train back to Hamilton to await
the accumulation of the unearned in
crement. After he had watched the
bond market in the newspapers for
four months for a sight of a st. Louis
municipal bond quotation, without
