Prague Jan. 11-—A story of missing bonds, a mysterions Herb who paid $40,000 for a' suit of clothes, and a Wisconsin farmer who should be | grateful to a distant brother-in-law, | has come to light in the records of the local police headquarters. ; A little more than three years ago a package of bonds, valuad at $100,- 000 and addressed to a bank in Chi- cago, was mailed in Omaha. It never reached its destination, and Investiga- | tion showed that the package had ’ been sent erroneously to Rossice, in! Czechoslovakia.
