HEIRS TO FORTUNES.

Particulars have just come to light
showing that about 100000 from South
Africa will come to Ogden, or at least
to two fortunate young ogden people.
The wealth comes as a legacy from a
rich uncle who died in that country
last December to Anna Hansen and her
brother Ole Hansen, of this city. Anna
is a domestic in the family of w. G..
Dalrymple, residing at 726 Twenty
third street, and her brother is labor
er out of job and looking for work.
They came originally from Fyen, Den
mark. The girl has been here for about
five years, though the brother has
been here much longer. Their parents
are both dead and for a long time
Anna was in the care of a guardian,
but her brother being older, was sub
ject to no such restrictions.
A DASH OF ROMANCE
comes with the story, as it is told that
Anna came to this country to escape
being forced by her guardian into a
marriage with man she did not love.
Her guardian was very persistent, and
to escape doing his bidding she fled to
this country. Her brother being in
Ogden she came to him; but he did
not know of her arrival until he saw
we'll as both have had work most of
the time. By their parents death they
became heirs to some property but
Annals share of it continued to be
held by her guardian, though recently
she became of age, which, in Denmark,
is "a years for women, and will soon
have control of that property. How
ever, this is insignificant as compared
with the sum left by her uncle, Hans
Olsen, of South Africa. Over a month
ago the heirs here received letter
from their brother in Denmark saying
that their uncle in South Africa was
dead, and that he left a fortune of
NOT LESS THAN 100000
which would be divided amongst the
six heirs. Anna kept at her work and
so did her brother when he could get
it and awaited the settlement of the
estate. Recently another letter came
from Denmark which leaves no doubt
that the good news was true, the only
uncertainties being minor details as to
whether some distant relatives of their
mothers brother would come in for
small share or not, and whether they
would not have to go back to Denmark
to claim the heritage. AS Anna is
now Of age, she does not fear going
back. A Herald reporter called last
evening at DR.. Dalrymple's residence
and secured an interview with the girl
after telling her that he could not find
her brother She is a good natured,
prepossessing girl who speaks English
with an unmistakable Danish accent
She freely told the facts as stated
above except the reason for her coming
TO America, which was learned from
other sources. She has worked for DR.
Dalrymple over two years and seems
in no haste to change her place. In
fact, she seems happy and contented
in the extreme, and the reporter will
wager that she would not regard the
loss Of
A FEW THOUSAND
from the legacy half as seriously as
she would the burning of batch of
bread She and her brother expect to
return to Denmark soon. but the girl
expressed herself as liking this country
best and that she would probably re-
turn. They have a sister living in
Iowa, who will come in for an equal
share of the fortune of their uncle.
Their father was a professor in the
Military academy at Copenhagen and
