TESTIMONY FROM TucsoN.

TESTIMONY FROM TUCSON.
 When 1t became known among the friends of Nelson that he was upon his death bed, several of them called upon him, to enquire what arrangements he had made for the care of his prop erty and for the maintenance and ed ucation of his little girl He told the same story to each, namely: that he had conveyed all of his real property, consisting of the stone hotel at No gales, 10 his intimate friend and conf dant, MT. George Christ, that he had entire confidence in Christi and that Christ had promised that he would re- tain the title to the hotel property in himself until the little girl arrived at sufficient age to manage and care for the same for herself, and would ther convey it to her; that out of tho rentals of said property, he, Christ agreed to pay lst, the interest on tht mortgage being on said property 2nd-the maintenance of the little girl at the convent in Tucson; 3C whatever indebtedness Nelson left be hind him, and 4th, the remainder should be applied to the reduction o the principal of the mortgage lien Upon being questioned as to the ad visibility of leaving all of his propert, to the honor of one man, without an, written evidence to testify to tn agreement, Mir. Nelson showed littl patierice for this view of the case, ant he assured his friends that he kney Christ to be thoroughly honest mai and that he would intrust his prop erty to his word and to his keep if l was millions instead of few thous ands.
 At this time the little girl was Il the Tucson convent, where she ha been from that time. Nothing Ina been paid for her maintenance ant education since January, 1889. Sine that time the Sisters have been com pelled to supply her with necessities o | life at their own expense. At the. tim ! Christ made the payment to tn | Sisters, then long over due, he begged l them to date his receipt back 10 tn date of the maturity of the debt which they, of course, refused to do. Or his return to Nogales, as an explana ton Of the date of the receipt from tn Sisters for this payment, he told sey eral persons that the Sisters had mad him pay the bill q second time, and rather than have trouble with a con vent, he had paid the bill a secon time To substantiate this story, h exhibited the receipt just obtained.
 Nelson left other creditors, the az gregate of the debts being howeye small These creditors caused tn facts of the conveyance 10 Christ an it's purpose to be ascertained, with
 view of having an administrator al pointed, the property recovered, thei debts paid and the remainder save for the little girl. But when the found they would have to pay th incumbrance on the property the abandoned their scheme.
