by the discovery that the first wife or the
dead millionaire is alive and will cloud
the title to millions of dollars worth OF
Chicago property, most of 1t situated In
that part of the city known as the Town
Of Lake. After reaching prosperity IN chi

men, made a practice of investing his sur
plus money in the purchase OF tax titles.
