a BIG ESTATE.
In 1892 Heinrich zechow came from
Germany to America, and on learning
that his uncle had left a big estate,
much of which had fallen into the
hands of parties who, it is said. have no
legal right to it, concluded to so into
the courts and attempt, as an heir, to
recover it, Some months ago he con-
suited a local law firm in Seattle about
commencing an action to recover his
uncles estate. The law firm looked into
the matter, and it is said informed
Zechow that sligo, Jacob Zechow's half
breed son, who now lives in Kitsap
county, and who hasa small portion of
the estate. was the real heir. Sligo was
willing. however, to have a suit COM
menced against the parties who claim
to own the larger portion of the estate
and divide with Heinrich. The latter,
however, insisted that he was the heir,
and that Sligo had no right to any Of
the estate. Heinrich's position in regard
to this was a wrong one, for Judge Han
ford in the Graham case, held that the
half-breed child is the direct heir.
Zechow admitted that while gathering
| evidence in the case, which he expected
to commence to recover the estate, he
had also come into possession of in
formation which went to show who
were the murderers of his uncle.
While Zechow was "dickering" as to
how he should further proceed, he sud
denly disappeared from the city This
was about a week before he was found
murdered at Westminster At the in
quest the fact came out that ZechoW
had been seen about the hotel where he
had been stopping with strange man
The local pioneers who are familiar witt
the case think that the man, who Is
supposed to be one of old ZechoW'
slayers, and to have been living a
Westminster, heard that Heinrich Zee
how was making progress in his strange
mission. and under some preteXt o
other induced him to leave Seattle ant
go to Westminster.

answer to the complaint under which

appeared to him that the defendant
had had ample time to file an answer,

not be acting in absolute good faith.
He extended the time 10 days, making
an order that unless the defendants
to the suit answered by that day they
would not be allowed to do so later.

LUREp 10 DEATH.
Belief That zechow Was Murdered by a
Stranger.

Stranger.
There is a local story in Connection with
the murder of Heinrich Zechow, the
German whose body was found under
a wharf at Westminster New Years eve,
says the Seattle Press-Times.
The murder was a mysterious one, and
the Westminster police have thus far
been unable to hunt down the murder
ers. 1t was at first supposed that Zee
how had been drowned, but it developed
at the inquest that he had been fright
fully stabbed in the back of the neck
and then it is supposed that his body
was tossed under the wharf
There are persons living in Seattle
who believe that Zechow, who was in
Seattle just before he departed for
Westminster, was lured to the latter
city by a telegram or letter from a man
who, it is said, has always been sup
posed to be one of the murderers of
Zechow's uncle 20 odd years ago, and
for whom Heinrich Zechow had been
searching for a long time.
A SUSPICIOUS DEATH.
Jacob Zechow, Heinrich's uncle, came
to the United States from Germany in
1854 He was an illiterate, ignorant,
though money-making German, and
managed to come into possession of
valuable lands. He lived with an In

had the best, by refusing to talk French
any longer. The Frenchmen being I'M
able to understand a word of German,
understood it was useless to insist, and
gave their signatures. granting to Ger
many the possession of Alsace and Lor-
raine, an indemnity of 81, 900. 600, 600 and
many other advantages. Bismarck pro-
posed at once to the landlord of the
house to buy his table, offering an enor-
nous price for it. That gentleman posi-
lively refused. and for several wears
exhibited the table to anyone who
wished to see it. 1t was not the gem
uine article, though, because Bismarck
had a duplicate made during the night
by skillful workmen, and sent the orig
inal to Berlin. The imitation was so
perfect that the gentleman from Yer
sailles never discovered the truth until
1876, at which time the chancellor had
the table in the library of his palace in
Berlin. The owner made a trip to the
German capital and threatened to enter
a lawsuit. He was offered money, but
refused it. He wanted Bismarck to be
arrested for robbery, and for his trouble
was taken back to the frontier by the
police. On his return to Versailles he
forwarded to the chancellor an open
letter, in which he stated the case, even
accusing the German statesman of
having taken his dining-room clock.
The Frenchman, who, by the way, is
very wealthy, has taken the oath that
he will equip, at his expense, a COM
pany of sharpshooters to regain pos
session of the table if the war of re-
venge ever takes place.

France having voted 65, 000, 900 francs

when she first claimed her right to the
possession. The expedition promises
to be of a prolonged character, and

agent will yet be found that shall retard

TO prolong human life much beyond It's

Acting, perhaps, upon the impulse pro-
duced by this thought, many eminent
physicians have called from time to time
upon the Shakers OF Mt. Lebanon 10 in
uuire Of them concerning the secrets OF
medicinal plants. in which these sincere,
simple minded and God fearing people
are known to be wise and skillful beyond
all other meu.
The shakers willingly told what they
had learned, and in turn received from
their visitors much valuable information
about disease: which they at once made
practical use Of. The nos important
point was that II a genuine and certain
remedy could be found for indigestion and
