TENNESSEE ROMANCE.
A Young Man Finds His Fathers
Grave and a Big Fortune.

NFdN IA
From the Philadelphia Inquirer
In the early days of Tennessee, before
Fayette county was as thickly populated
as it now is, and when there were vast
tracts Of unsettled lands, Thomas Hall,
who hailed from Virginia and lived sew
eral miles from the present site of Somer-
Vile, kept a kind of hotel, at which all
travellers passing that way usually stopped.
Just below Halls home there was a
large creek. BY the side of this creek one
morning while on his way to Somerville
Hall saw a riderless horse. Seated by
tree with a bottle in his hand and his
arm raised in the act of carrying the
contents to his mouth, was a man. Mr..
Hall rode up 10 the man, dismounted,
and, to his surprise, found him to be dead.
His saddle bags were examined and
found to contain $4,000, but no name,
direction or anything that pointed in any
way to the identity of the dead man.
An inquest was held. the verdict of the
jurors being that the deceased came to
his death from natural causes. The re-
mains were then inferred at Somerville.
The money was turned over to the
county trustees, who Immediately put it
