Polish Chassid Mounrns Death of Rabbi

Tribolski, Poretz of the Shepnievitcz Estate near Lodz, mourns the passing of one Chassidic rabbi. Although a Pole, Tribolski was for long a constant Chassid of the Rospschar Rabbi Weltfried, whom he was used to consult in all of his business affairs, taking the rabbi’s advice in all things, even the law. When Rabbi Weltfried died, Tribolski transferred his allegiance to his rabbi’s son, Rabbi Israel. Upon the latter’s death a short time ago, he was left without an adviser. Last week he figured in a lawsuit against a neighboring Poretz, Sarembo, and lost. Tribolski created considerable stir in the court, when upon the announcement of the verdict, he shouted out, “My rabbi is dead; while he lived I never lost a case!”
