Chicago , Oct. 1st — Rosario Guerrero, the Spanish music hall dancer, saw $12,000 worth of her gowns, costumes and laces seized by Deputy Sheriff Maher yesterday.
The actress, who is appearing at the Hyde & Behman’s music hall, screamed in protest at the invasion of her apartments at the Sherman House, but the deputy, sent to seize her property in satisfaction of an alleged debt of $535, paid no attention to her distress.
Maher read the writ, after which he demanded the keys of the trunks, which were finally produced.
He was about to call for a wagon with which to remove them when Miss Guerrero proposed that they leave the property in the hands of custodians with permission for the actress to remove what was necessary for her to use on the stage and in the meantime pay the amount due to Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr.
The Sunday Telegraph, New York, October 2, 1904Ziegfeld had produced the writ for non-payment on two drafts on Paris banks.”
