WILL DAvIsoN's LUCK J..
Supposed To Be the Heir of 500 600
Miss Dora Leichhardt WIN geta
Like Amount

Like Amount.
IAN interesting piece Of news has
just come to light concerning snug
fortune which Miss Margaret c..
Peters aud her daughter, Miss Mar.
guerite Peters, of the st. James
Apartment House, will shortly come
into. 1t seems that Mr.. William S.
Dawson, ST., Mrs. Peters father,
owned much property IN Chicago,
and many years ago gave the city a
handsome tract of land for Union
Park in west Chicago. 1t was given,
however, upon the condition that the
land revert TO his heirs, should it ever
be sold for city lots. The property,
which is valued at 100000, is now
being sold into lots, and according to
the agreement the five heirs, of which
Mrs. Peters is one, should each re.
ceive 100000. Chicago is negotiat
ing with the heirs to buy this land,
but as yet nothing definite has been
done. Mrs. Peters is related to Mr..
L. S DAWSON, of 1852 Second street,
who is also one of the heirs to this
estate. Miss Marguerite Peters is
handsome brunette and is one Of
Louisville's most charming daugh
tiers. She is an accomplished must
clan, and for several years has been
teaching instrumental music"
The above article from the Louis
vile Post of Saturday was the first
intimation two of the five heirs al
luded to, who live in this city, lie
ceived Of their good fortune. The
news soon spread over the city and
the whole town is rejoicing with the
lucky ones and hoping that there is
no mistake in the report, which seems
straight enough.
The five children of the late w. S.
Dawson, ST., are the five heirs refer
red to. -Four of them are still living.
They are Mrs. M. G. Peters, L. S.
Dawson and E f. Dawson, of Louis
vile and w. S. Dawson, of this city.
The fifth child was Miss Lucy Dav-
ison, who married Herman G. LEIGH
hardt, in this city, about twenty years
ago. She died ten or twelve years
ago, leaving one child, who is now
Miss Dora Leichhardt, a young
lady just completing her education. !
She makes her home with her uncle,
MIR. Dawson, and attends school in
this city.
w. S. Dawson is one of Hopkins
ville's best citizens. He is at the
head of the retail department of
Forbes & Bros immense business
and is a poor man, dependent upon
his salary for his support. His fam
lily consists of a wife and two bright
little girls aged and years. No
family in the city has more friends,
and all will rejoice with them in the
good fortune that seems to have
come their way. Mr., DaYison lives
on the same street and in the square
with DR.. T. w. Blakey, whose wife
recently inherited a large fortune
from an uncle in California.
