An fhstrort tMnine) Nun has Proved Ills

EAsroN, Me-, April .2.-Wiison E.
Boyd, one OF the best known citizens OF
the East Shore aud business man OF
considerable wealth, is preparing 10 90
England next month expecting to bring
book the very neat sum Of $1,000, 900,
besides proving title to n still neater
sum Of slOoO0O,00O in real estate. Mr..
Boyd's story OF inherited wealth through
European ancestors differs from that or.
dinarily told by those who are looking
for such estates. In 1863 advertisements
were published in Nes York papers
calling for information about the
descendants Of William Mckay, de.
ceased. These met the eye Of Mr..
Boyd, and as he was greatgrandson OF
Mr.. Mckay, he set to work to procure
the necessary legal proof. These were
obtained, and he went to England and
placed his case in the hands OF the late
Judah P. Benjamin, who, upon inyesti-
CATION, agreed to take the claim for 20
per cent Of the proceeds. He prose.
cuted the case until his death, spending
at one time $4,000 to get hold Of a val.
liable document that had been stolen BY
some Of the English heirs to the estate
that is, the heirs Of stepdaughter who
would hold some OF the property in case
Mr.. Boyd could not establish his claim
to the whole.
Alter Mr.. Benjamin died in 1886 the
case Went into the hands OF Mr.. George
Bell OF London, and has been carried on
ever since and with success. Mr.. Boyd
was in Washington the first week in
April aud had talk with the British
Minister, who, he says, told him that
word had been received at the legation
sayin. that the claim had been allowed
and that notice would be sent to Mr..
in May requesting him 10 come on
and get the cash, now in the Bank oil
England. This money is the accunu.
lation OF income from the Glasgow and
Edinburg real estate. The sum is about
Sl7.M0.O00. Title to this sum also in
cludes, OF course, title to the real estate
that produced it, which is said to be
worth over Sl00, 100000.
Mr.. Boyd does not get the whole of
the estate, for there are other heirs, but
he il to have over one.half OF it.
