SOUTH SIDE NEWS.
Mark Snyrcs Said TO dc One Of the Heirs
10 II Large Fortune Lecture On Ireland
at Cedar Avenue Methodist Episcopal
Church

Church.
Investigation. it is reported, has de-
veloped the fact that Mark Sayers, the
young man employed at the Lackawan-
ma Knitting mills on Brook street, has
established his right to part of the
5000, 600 estate left by relative Of his
who died In New York recently without
any immediate heirs. About a month
ago the story went the rounds that Say
ers would soon come into possession o
handsome sum. He did not place
much credence In the matter, and was
content to pay no attention to the
agreeable news.
But Everett b. Campbell, Of Minoolia,
the foreman of the department where
Sayers is employed, insisted on writing
for information to New York and a re-
ply came from the administrator that
contained the assuring statement that
Sayers will come in for a share of the
estate If he can establish his Identity.
This, Mr.. Sayersl thinks, is a very easy
matter and he proposes to begin to do II
without delay. The amount that he is
likely to get is said to be one-fourth Of
the entire property, there being three
others whose relationship to the de-
ceased will entitle them to a part of the
estate.

1t is contended by those VINO ask for
the injunction that if the bonded in

constitution. In support of this asscr-
ton they show that the taxable prop
erty in the city is assessed at 5000, 600.
The Indebtedness of the city IL $llO,-
10i17, which is within $Sl ,096S3 Of the
amount fixed by law.
After listening to the arguments of
counsel Judge Burlington made an
order as follows: After hearing the
arguments and the aflidavts of counsel
and on due consideration thereof, we
decline to grant a restraining order to
