lively asserts that the late W. G. Lips
comb. uncle OF Mr. John ~ Alvey the
man who has been so mystcriously miss
ing since November Sth last. left a Will
and that an efforts TO find any trace oil
that document have proven futile. This
person is william Frederick Lipscomb'
who for twenty-five years has served ON
the farm at PresQueisle, and who stated

rest of what is known as the Lipscomo es-
tate. which Is valued at about Sl2o'U"'
stated TO him upon more than one occa-
sion that il was a comfort to him in his
old age TO know that he had something
with which to provide for those who had
been faithful to him, and that he had
made his Will in which those who hoi
taken care Of him were not overlooked.
