STRODE GOES TO BRUNSWICK.
Lincoln's Stranded Friend Gets Start
Towards Springfield.
Ely Strode, 86 years of age, who was stranded in Kansas City for several days on account of thieves stealing his wallet, overcoat and trunk between Lyons, Kas., and Kansas City left yesterday morning for Brunswick, Mo. The man, who is a retired farmer, was on his way to visit relatives in Springfield, Ill., and take part in the Lincoln anniversary ceremony there. He was a personal friend and neighbor of Lincoln before the civil war. Strode succeeded in raising enough money here to pay his car fare to Brunswick, Mo., where he said he believed an old friend of his was living. It was his intention to seek this friend and borrow sufficient funds to continue his journey to Springfield.
