The Estate Believed to
Be InSOlVent.
What Became of All the
Missing Money?
Undiscovered Interest Bearing
investments.
A strengthening Suspicion That
the Dead Capitalist Chung
to a Delusive Hope.

The estate of the late Oscar L. Gibbs
is believed to be hopelessly insolvent.
Other developments have been made
which show a sad condition of affairs,
which was only suspected soon after
the tragic death of the we'll known cap
italist.
The appraisement of the estate which
has recently been concluded places it's
value at $44, 900. The Indebtedness SO
far as has been reported is nearly the
same, but the character of it is what is
creating surprise among MIR. Gibbs &C.
quaintances. Besides the claim of his
father-in-law, David Goodenow of Los
Angeles, of 1924, 900, which was secured
by mortgage, there Is a large volume of
indebtedness incurred in singular
manner.
One of the creditors is James Haux-
hurst, whose claim is between $4,000 and
$4,000. This money was not loaned to
Gibbs. but placed in his hands for in
vestment, and so much confidence did
he have in Gibbs judgment and integ-
rlty that he placed large sum Of
money in the Arizona National bank,
subject to his credit. The amount was
all drawn out. Aside from a small
amount secured by chattel mortgages,
no investments of Hauxhurst's money
have been found, Notwithstanding he
was regularly in receipt of interest
upon the supposed investment.
Another creditor is Harry Walton,
whose claim is $1,000. This amount
was not loaned, but given to Gibbs to
Gibbs to be invested, though it appears
that only $1,000 was invested. Where
the rest went has not been discovered.
Gibbs also held $1,000 belonging to the
Marler estate and $1,000 belonging to
Geo. M. McFall, all of which has been
swallowed up in the same mysterious
hole.
One of the local banks also is cred
itor to the extent of $4,000.
1t has transpired that Gibbs invest
ments we're few and small, notwith-
standing a popular supposition that
his operations in the valley were ex-
tensive, Most of his loans were made
upon personal property. at such excess
sive rates of interest and with 30 much
care that he came to be regarded as q
model money-lender and sym Dol OF
financial security. --.-..
For this reason the SPECULATION as to
what became of these large and unac-
counted for sums becomes all the more
interesting. Only one solution is Of
fered. The dead capitalist had no per-
sonal habits which could possibly &C
count for the dissipation of the money.
1t is known that he never lost an in
vestment in the valley, where all his
investments were supposed to be made,
but it ia remembered that when be
came to Phoenix, some six years ago,
there followed story that he had once
been very wealthy and bad been plucked
in the Chicago board of trade. In the
absence of any other theory there is a
suspicion that he cherished a hope to
the last that he might find for tune
where he had lost one.

Harry Whatton, one Of the oldest and
best known prospectors and mine oper-
ators of the territory was induced yes
terday to exhibit some specimens of
gold ore that he had gathered in this
rich central belt of Arizona.
Among the rich nuggets displayed
was ten ounce chunk of pure gold with
an intrinsic value of 5000, but which as
a specimen is rated at $500. This mug
get was obtained in the Harqua Hala
district as were many others, ranging
in value from $50. to $3.50, all Arizona

POPULISTs IN GEORGIA.
The Campaign Opened by EN-Congress-

ATLANTA, GA, July 4.-Ex-Congress-
man Thomas f. Watson, leader Of the
Peoples party in Georgia, opened what
he termed his campaign of political edu-
cation in Georgia to-day at Douglasville.
There were several thousand Populists
out to hear him, and Watson spoke
three hours. He took the life Of Jeffer-
son, his creed and faith as his text, and
from il discOursed upon Democracy an
cient and modern. Nj. Watson said the
principles of Democracy would never die,
and pledged himself TO preach those doc
trnes as long as his political career
lasted.
This was I'm the nature Of n surprise to
his hearers, for they had not expected
to hear the leader Of the Populists Civ
ing such turn 10 the extreme pOpullstic
views which defeated him last fall. Nev-
ertheless. he scored everybody who had
held authority and power at the nations
capital with bitter anathema. He chlded

would play a greater hand I'm the next
campaign than. Is dreamed Of now. While
the Sherman law was bad enough II
was the only defense Of the masses

ditionally there would be lively times
ahead for that party IN the next cam

tariff system for its hurdensome expenses
on the country. and strongly urged an
income tax. declaring that the people Of
