here that the agent who represented
the company in Rock Island had
misappropriated the monies and
failed to forward the applications is

CAFFERY'S ESTATE.
its Division Among His Heirs Complicated
by the Discovery of His First Wife.

by the Discovery of His First Wife.
CHICAGO, March Attorney Beale,
of Georgetown, d. c.. recently discov-
cred the aged woman who was the
first wife of the late John MEGA fiery,
of Chicago, the mysterious old settler
whose will revealed for the first time
the existence of three separate fami-
lies of children. The discovery of At
torney Beale will result not only in
added complications for the probate
court to dispose of in the settle
ment of the 100000 estate left by
McCaffery, the first wife being entitled
to one-third of the personal property,
amounting to S165, 200, but the fact
that Mrs. McCaffery No. 1 is still alive
in Maryland will cloud the title to mil
lions of dollars worth of property,
most of which is situated in the town
of Lake, now part of the city, where
the deceased lived. He made a prac-
tice of investing his surplus money in
the purchase of tax titles when lands
were sold for default of payment
of taxes. When the real owner OPP
posed McCaffery for a tax deed, the
latter signed the deeds as a bachelor.
or the deeds were joined in by one of
| the two women whom he was supposed
| to have married at different times in
| the city, and who were recognized by
| him as his wives. McCaffrey's will
| provided that. if necessary, five years
should be devoted to finding the chill
