Wednesday Of last week. that a brother had died
in the old country and left fortune OF $4,000 900
to be divided among six brothers and sisters, he
being one Of the lucky ones.
The Winkler family were Of humble parentage ,
born in one Of the provinces Of Central Prussia,
where four Of the family still reside, Some forty
years ago this elder brother left home with view
Of seeking a fortune In some distant cline. he
went to Liverpool a1d from there he took ship
for Cape Of Good Hope which he reached in safe
ty, and where for man years he dealt In precious
and costly diamonds. The family frequently re-
ceived letters 6rom him, in which he stated that
he was d Ding well and would come home day
and surprise them. He wrote to his friends regu
lsrly until few years ago, since which time
nothing could be learned Of him few months
