PAYS $4,000 FOR 9 KEGS
OF MISSOURI RIVER WATER

st. Joseph, Mo.-Al T. Hussar, a
local saloon keeper, paid $4,000 here
the other day for nine kegs of Mis-
souri, river water.
According to Hussar's story to the
police, he bought the liquid from a
stranger, but not until he had tasted
it and found it worth the money.
However. Hussar sampled" the
wet" goods through rubber tube,
one of end of which was supposed to
extend into each of the kegs in turn,
and the "sampling" occurred in a
dark secret cellar. Hussar now holds
the belief that the tube led to flask
in the strangers pocket.
