I should have mentioned that the last sentence was as printed in the 
paper. Does appear that something was lost by the time it got printed. For 
the curious, I attached a gif file of this section of article. This is the 
typical quality of print these newspaper clippings are transcribed from.

I don't know much about newspaper technology, but assume that in 1908 
they was still using lead type hand set?
