full v. hut Failed to Find One.
New YORK, March 1.-The Telegram
SAYS that the friends of the late Gen.
Sherman have searched everywhere
through the generals private desks
and papers and all efforts to find the
will have been futile. 1t is believed
that he did not make any. The gener-
al was not a man of large wealth, hav-
ing little, if any, real estate, and his
pension as retiring general of the
United States army is believed to have
been his only source of income.
His personal estate is not large, but
he possessed many war relics and curios.
If on further search no viii appears APP
plication will be made for letters OF
administration on his estate.
