Efforts are being made by soma "pro

ranging aa high aa 8800 for pretending
to locate them on Oregon & California

A man living on the east side was
lured into listening to the siren song
of a "professional" locator. The fee for
locating was 8300. Half the money was
paid down. The locator and his victim
went to Roseburg, where a tramp of

replied that ha had paid 8150 down and

The owner of the land stated he had
a loaded double-barreled shotgun In the
house, the contents of which he would
empty into the first man who attempted
to put his foot on the claim, and or

WOMEN'S VOTES GO TO
HANDSOME ORGANIST
Pennsburg Chnrch Has Contest of
Ability Between Two Rival
Musicians.
Pennsburg, Pa., March 28. Just to
decide who should be at once tta organ
lat and choirmaster, woman's suffrage
waa allowed for the first time in the
200 years of the existence of St. Paul's
Lutheran church. In this dace, and both
sexes in the congregation, after long
electioneering, were- today permitted to
vote on the respective merits of the two
rival candidates, who engaged In a
musical content before them.
Not long ago Oscar F. lierndt died,
having held the position for a quarter
01 a century, and a pair or musicians
wanted to succeed him. One was John
M. Pflleger of Red Hill, and the other
was Harold A. Laros of Coopersburg.
Mr. Pflleger used to play the organ in
St. Paul's Lutheran church at Norrls
town, was a member of the local church
council and had a strong personal fol
lowing, but Mr. Laroa, though a strang
er, was young and handsome and popu
lar, and th women demanded tha right
of a voice In the decision.
After a special meeting of the author
ities the feminine request was granted,
but it was decided that the candidates
should give an example of their respec
tive fitness. Accordingly, before an
overflowing audience on last Sun
day the services resolved themselves
into a musical tournagient, each contes
tant playing the organ for a part of the
services, and each singing two selec
tions. Then the Rev. O. FV Waage, tha
pastor, delivered an address In Penn
sylvania German, cautioning the congre
gation againat disorder, and tellers took
up tha ballots.
Mr. Laros waa elected by a vote of
878 to 87.

New York, March 88. That fame Is
ephemeral is shown by the fact that
the widow of Bill Nye. one of the most
famous of American humorists, could
not be located when Darters were to bn
served on her and the dally press was
used, which, after considerable litiga
tion, the courts upheld as the only
method possible.
In 18D7 Clara Nye owned a house in
New York. The mortgage was fore
closed, and Mrs. Nye was served bv
publication. The title was insured by
the Title Guarantee & Trust company to
a subsequent purchaser.
Another comnanv then examined tne
title tnd questioned the sufficiency of
the affidavit upon which the order of
publication was baeed. clalmmg it'
should not have been difficult to locate
Mra. Nye. A suit then ensued between
the owner and the new purchaser of the
property.
The Title Guarantee company defend
ed the title before Justice Newburaer.
a decision reoultlng that the affidavit
was insufficient and the title defective.
This decision has Just been reversed
by the appellate division, holding that
tbe affidavit was sufficient and tha title
good.
Mrs. Nye. It is now learned, is resid
ing In Berlin.
