Windfall For Apia
From Our Own Correspondent.
APIA, July 5.
THE glad tidings were received yester day that the fifth prize amounting to £1000 in an Australian Art Union has fallen to Apia, the lucky winner having given the nom de plume “The Four Just Men,” c/o T. W. B., P.O., Apia. A resident of Apia, with such initials to his name was first suspected and had to answer numerous inquiries and con gratulations, but later it was found that Mr. Theodore W. Brunt, storekeeper and baker, of Motootua, Apia, was the lucky winner.
As an elder of the Mormon Church of Latter Day Saints, Mr. Brunt intends to donate a portion of his winnings to the church, while with part of the balance, he will purchase the banana plantation he has leased from the N.Z. Reparation Estates. Only a few months ago, Mr.
Brunt’s small store was completely de stroyed by fire, so his windfall is very acceptable.
