SEVEN TAKE OUT FINAL PAPERS OF NATURALIZATION

Federal Immigration Agent Zichur was in the city last Saturday and examined 17 applicants for final papers of naturalization. Many laughable replies were given to the questions propounded, ranging all the way from Ferguson and Jos. Bailey as present governor of Texas to an utter ignorance of who are our county officers.
Every applicant knew that George Washington was the first president.
Nine are granted final papers of naturalization: Vasil Harbus, Weimar; Walenty Rataj, Weimar; Charlie Kuezerka, Columbus; Mike Rossillie, Dobbins; Simon Kuezerka, Columbus; August Pachal, Weimar; Rud. Muehr, Weimar; Anton Muehr, Weimar; Frank Peter Jarutow, Columbus.--Colorado Citizen
