A LOST BROTHER.
Andrew johnson, De-
ceased, Identified.
Judge Coffey Decides That Katarina
WiIhelmina Won Stankewitz is
His Sister and Sole Heir.

Judge Coffey has granted the petition of
Katarina Wilhelmina Won Stankewitz
{nee Johnson) for distribution as sole heir
at-law of the estate of the late Andrew
Johnson.
The circumstances OF the case were
these: Andrew johnson was a Swede, a
resident of San Francisco. and died here
on December %, 1855. leaving him sur
vivlng neither descendants nor father nor
mother nor brother, nor children of any
deceased brother o. sister. The, estate
consisted OF deposit in the Hibernia
Bank amounting to S641S 9S, and on
March 81, 1891, Thomas Il. Hobsou was
appointed administrator. In Septem Der
of the same year the first and final ac-
count of the administration of the estate
was filed and settled. Some time after
ward the petition of Katharine Won Stanke-
wiz was Tiled, claiming the estate as sole
surviving sister and next of kin of the de-
ceased.
In this case Judge Coffey had occasion
to pass upon specimens of the handwrit-
ing OF johnson, upon which there was a
conflict of opinion. In this instance the
court took occasion to remark: '''Fhe
court attaches as much or as little I'M
portance to the testimony of experts on
handwriting as to the opinion of a layman
upon the same subject. Both experts and
laymen may be mistaken 10 their opin-

first. Then he became a miner in America
and saved some money in this calling.
As he accumulated he deposited money
from time to time in the savings bank.
placing his signature IN the bank every
time. Ii this respect it was noticed that
the deceased's handwriting varied with ad-
vanclDg years.
Then there was the deposition of the
claimant to be considered. She testified to
having had a brother named Anders
'Iheodor, born at Stockholm in 1885, and
that when he left for America she lost
sight of him altogether until she obtained
information of his death through an ad-
vertisement published by the Consul
General of Sweden and Norway at Cape
Town in the Tranovaal Advertiser of
August u, 1891, inqpiriDg for information
respecting "KatarIna Wilhelmina John
son. born in Stockholm, 1887, and who
arrived in Cape Colony about twenty
years ago and subsequently left for Pre-
t0ria, where, it is believed, she married
one StankewiiZ."

lished the identity both IF the deceased

written pages with the words 1.-The

condolences, which are not and cannot be
denied, there was no identity of Andrew

DESERTED HIS WIFE.
Charles Armstrong Disappears and
Leaves Her Destitute

Leaves Her Destitute.
A case of cold-blooded desertion was re-
ported at police headquarters Yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Armstrong, quiet, lady
like little woman, called and said her hus-
band Charles Armstrong had not been
seen or heard of since Monday afternoon,
when he left her TO go to 512 Haight street,
to pay bin TO florist there. She had
aseertained that he had not gone there
and she did not know what had become of
him.
Armstrong kept flower and fruit stand
on OFarrell street. near Mason. he ia
80 years of age, feet or 10 inches tall,
stout build. black musiache, small side
whskers, dark complexion, with birth
mark on his right cheek. He Is South
American and IL is thought has left the
State.
Mrs. Armstrong; folks live in Indian
apolis. She came to this city about year
ago with a daughter about eight years OF
age. She was then n widow. Armstrong
became acquainted with her on the train
c0miag TO The city and eight months ago
they were married. Armstrong got pos
session of all the money she had and
started the flower and fruit stand.
Recently she got money from her mother
to pay her railroad fare to indianapolis,
as ner parents were anxious for her to
visit them. Armstrong INDUCED her not to
90 and got the money from her.
He had evidently made up his mind 10
gather together all the funds he could and
desert her, as he bad not paid the rent for
their rooms at 325 O'Farrell street and the
| frujtstand for some time. He has also
| left several other debts behind him. aud
bis wife has not cents she can call her
own.
What makes his desertion of her more
cruel is the fact that she is in a delicate
condition. She is not, however, without
friends, who are to pay the rent for her
rooms and send her and her daughter
back 10 Indianapolis.

Wheat for Feed.

According to reports received froa
the wheat-growing counties Of Mary
land, a. well a. from various portions
of the West, vast quantity Of wheat
will be fed to hogs. 1t was stated in a
letter from Washington county, pub
lished in the BaltinOrs .SUn some time
ago, that those farmers who fed their
wheat TO hogs last year realized from 50
cents 10 81 bushel for IT,
p. ID. Armour, jr., Of Chicago, ac-
cording to statement recently pub
lished in that city, has just completed
an actual test of feeding wheat TO hogs
on his farm On September -, he
weighed eighteen pigs-l,975 pounds.
September %, he same pigs weighed
$500, gaining 525, and receiving moth
ing for food except 1850 pounds Of
crushed wheat. Taking the present
market for hogs at ) cents it would
make the value received for the wheat
$26.25, OF a little over % cents per
bushel against a cost Of about So cents
for the wheat. There had been some
discussion as 10 the value Of wheat as
food for hogs. Hogs, like other animals,
thrive best on a diet which is somewhat
varied from time 10 time. But the ex-
perience of Mr.. Armour and the west
ern Maryland farmer seems 10 show
that they dOas well on an exclusive diet
of wheat, properly fed, a. upon an ex-
elusive diet Of anything else. Dairy
men who have fed chopped wheat mix
ell with chopped hay to milch cows
declare that it is an excellent food.
