Count of Incas Mocked in Dillon as Prankster Guest
Special Correspondence reports in Dillon on August 26 that Manzetta Montezuma the Count of Incas played a practical joke during a hotel stay. A small crowd gathered at the Meden register and a second signature appeared for Reggiano Parmissano the Duke of Parrise. The alleged count, frail and hair laden, toured town, promoted a patent medicine, was paid about $50, and left on an early train after a foiled attempt to threaten the hotel owner. The Italian nobleman did not materialize and the stunt is considered a prank.
