WITH RUMANIA
Y BIG BRIDGE
CONSTANZA, Rumania, June 22
(by Associated Press).—Owing to the!
general destruction of bridges during |
the war there is an exceptional op-,
portunity in Rumania for American
bridge builders. A bridge over the
Danube to connect Rumania with
Serbia is being considered by the
Rumanian government. There are 18
important bridges in other parts of
Rumania awaiting reconstruction.
In addition, the great bridge over
the Danube at Cernavoda, in many
respects the greatest structure in
Europe, must be reconstructed. This
bridge, known as the King Carol
Bridge, is 1260 feet long and 11.4 feet
above high water.

CATTLE SENT BACK FROM
WINTER FEED GROUNDS
SAN ANGELO, Tex., June 22 (by
Associated Presss).—Solid train loads
of well conditioned cattle have almost
daily been leaving points in Western
Texas over the Santa Fe, Orient, and
Texas & Pacific railroads for native
pastures in the Northwest. They are
i.rom among the 175,000 or 200,000 ani
mals that were brought into Texas
last autumn when drouth laid its
withering hand upon Wyoming, Mon
tana, Idaho, Nebraska and neighbor
ing states, and caused a failure of sum
mer feed crops upon which the herds
depended for sustenance during the
winter.
This recalls the movement of cattle
from Texas into the Northwest pas- _
tures under very similar conditions
during 1916, 1917 and 1918, when
Texas was drouth stricken, and the
country which Texas served during
the past winter offered hospitable pas
tures to starving Texas cattle.

Love Sleuth Sues Woman for $14,204 for Services |
_ v!
LOS ANGELES.—J. C. Marston, a private detective of this city, has served &
a bill on Mrs. Kate I. de Aleria. who at fifty years of age recently married
Count Harold de Aleria, otherwise known as Harold Adrian, twenty-two years
of age. The bill is for $14,204.30, the
unpaid balance, says Marston in his
suit, of a claim for services which g;
originally totaled $22,521.30. Mrs. de g*
A! -ia therefore paid him $8,317. g:
While the bill is for a four years’
investigation carried on for Mrs. de
Aleriu, most of that time, it may be
recall A she was the widow of United
States Senator Nixon, the Nevada
millionaire mining man.
some of the bill for more than* jg
$22,000 stands for the curiosity of a
woman, it is said, the inquiry in Mrs. Nixon’s mind about the handsome and
engaging young Spaniard, who had charmed her with his music. :£
But Mrs. Nixon was not one to be’captured by an Orpheus; a good hus- |jj:
band should possess other qualifications. Had De Aleria these?
It is understood that the business of getting a matrimonial Bradstreet :j>
on De Aleria, was entrusted to Marston. :$
Mrs. de Aleria, as may be guessed, h:;s refused to pay the balance claimed
by the detective. In his effort to recover that $14,000 plus, Marston, it is un
derstood, will have sensational revelations to make, including dictograph rec
ords secured under melodramatic conde mns, letters'and situations better than $•
a moving picture show.
In his researches the investigator is said to have learned that De Aleria &:
applied for naturalization papers. Under an order of Federal Judge Trippet,
upon showing made that De Aleria hid applied for exemption shortly after
he had applied for citizenship, he wra.s forever debarred from American citi
zenship.
