Man Fincls His Sister
In Council Bluffs
After Year's Searcl
Through the aid of Chief of Po
lice Jensen of Council Bluffs, James
Lovel of Hastings, Neb., has found
a sister for whom he had searcehd
in vain for 43 years. She is Mrs.
William Cook; 1417 North Eighth
street, Council Bluffs.
Mr. Lovel and his sister' were
separated when they . were small
children, 3 and 10 years old, re
spectively. They have never seen
each other since that time, until
yesterday when they met in the sis
ter's home in 'this city.
Chirn Tribua-Ommha Bra Lowed Wlrw.
Chicago, March 5. Walter S.
Schlussel is a living exemplifica
tion of that trite old adage that
"a burnt child dreads the fira."
Mr. Schlusset will sogjj come
into possession of an estate of
$250,000 as the result of his uncle,
Baron Von Schlussel, having been
killed in the war. So he came into
Probate Judge Horner's court and
asked that a conservator be ap
pointed for himself. ( He frankly
told the judge that he once pos
sessed $2,500, but he had traveled
the primrose path of wine, women
and aong and when he reached the
end of the path, he did not have, a
dollar. " .
"And who would you like for
conservator?" asked the judge
afteV it had been all explained to
him.
"Violet," responded Schlussel.
"Violet?" the judge inquired.
"Sure, my Wife."
So Schlussel was formally de
creed a "spendthrift" and his wife
duly appointed his conservator.
She will take absolute control of
the fortune coming over from Ger
many. ' 1 '

striking, doubly colorful and tense.

for practically all of the greatest art
ists of the day and her services were
eagerly sought.
