: "UNCLE HENRY"
; ASKS HELP FOR
L ANNUAL FEAST
; . Demands of Children Far in
I Excess of Preparations
- And More Gifts Are
- Needed,
- "Uncle Henry" DeLong says he
lis "up against it" preparing for his
annual post-Christmas tree for poor
children. lit issued invitations to 100
: children whom Santa Claus might
have overlooked and planned to give
them the usual feast Saturday noon
at the DeLong mission on - East
i Broadway, Council Bluffs. Clamor
'ing wtoungsters have swelled the list
by pleading for tickets until the pum
Jber, issued exceeds 250. It will prob
ably reach 500, and "Uncle Henry"
is appealing to the public to send
baskets of provisions tp the mission,
529 East Broadway, to prevent these
f httle boys and girls being sent away
, hungry.
"It will be the seventy-third
Christmas I have spent in Council
Bluffs, and it may be the last time I
will be given the opportunity to help
bring a little Christmas cheer to
little hearts that will feel but little
of it." said Uncle Henrv yesterday.
"I remember so keenly the pain of
mv own first Chnptmas in Council
Bluffs that I can never forget it It
was on that cheerless and bitter
- Christmas , morning that I formed
the resolution to try every year to
bring Christmas joy to other deso
late little hearts. My parents' were
dead and Ihad been 'bound out' to a
.Mormon, Bishop Clark. My mother's
dying gift was the feather bed upon
which sHie closed. her eyes, for the
last time. We came from Nauvoo in
a covered wagon in the summer of
1847. The-good bishop appropriated
the feather bed and I slep with the
, .dog on the bare ground under the
wagon. , ...
"There were several children in
, 4he Mormon family, and on that
first Christmas eve I hung up my
M Stocking the same as they did. When
I got up from my pallet of straw
' the Clark children were shouting
with joy over their gifts of candy,
.cakes ana loys. in nunc i iuuuu
only 'cow chips' and a cruel hickory
stick. HearVbroken I cried aloud,
'If my father was living somebody
would feel that stick.' I spoke too
loud. .. " ,
"The Mormon bishop harfrd it and
iumoed out of his bed, that warm
feather bed upon which my angel
you'll feel it right now,' he yelled.
I got an" awful beating with that
V jpruel stick, and right there I said
."will never let a Christmas pass
without trying to do something for
ether little boys and girls. And 1
(have kept that vow faithfully.

-may be my last chance. I hope my
friends will help me to make good
? just once more. Give me the Christ
. mas trees you used Wednesday
j night and help me gather some little
'goodies' for these 500 boys and
girls who will come to the mission
i Saturday noon and afternoon."

career in High

jail sentence
Proihoter of Charity Scheme
Pleads Guilty to Conspir-
acy Charge. 1
'
Duval pleaded guiltjr Wednes
day before District JudgeRedick to
a charge of conspiracy to commit
larceny and was sentenced to 60
fays in jail and fined $200.
' Thus ends the adventure of
Eugene in high finance. His in
tended victim was a fellow country
man. Vincent Ledorech,, a cook
at the Hotel Fontenelle, Novem
ber 8. ' i
Eugene and ariother man, uni
dentified, met Vincent and , told
him that the other mans father, a
tormer resident of Omaha, had died
i;i the far west, fabulously wealthy.
Rememl'ei ing on his dying bed the
poor of his native city,.be decided
to' leave them a trifle of $100,000.
He wrote it into his will, said
Eugene Furthermore, he wrote in
his will that $20,000 should be paid
to the man who would discover and
pay to the poor of Omaha the $100,
000. Could Vincent do this small
task and thereby earn the $20,000.
Thus Eugene appealed and M.
Vincent responded that he would
try 4o distribute among the poor the
$100,000.
Qne detail remained before the
money was' paid over, said M. Eu
gene. A bond in cash must be put
up to indicate that the provisions of
the will would be carried out.
Vincent agreed to put up $1,500 in
cash. He withdrew that sum from
the bank and the three went to the
nigh school grounds where the
$100,000 was put in a tin box with
the $20,000 and the $1,500. M. Vin
cent was' to keep the box contain
ing all the money, the funds for the
poor, his -fee of $20,000 and .his
bond of $1,500. '
At this point, he became i suspi
cious. A dispute ensued and it
ended in Vincent grabbing his
two friends and proceeding to haul
them off to jail. One man jerked
loose and fled. Vincent landed the
other at the Hotel Fontenelle and
called the police. ,
