fact was made public to-day that he petit
toned the Superior Court to appoint a
guardian last Friday. Every effort was
made to keep the affair a secret, but when
Judge Prick approved the bond this morn

forth that he is over IA and under 20
years of age and has an estate valued at
$4,000, which requires the care of some
one older than himself until he shall have
obtained his majority. His brother, James
