don. The confirmation of the report
that General Butler had announced

While many people have been swim
died by the dazzling prospect of great
fortune awaiting them in England, it
appears to be true that there are large
sums of money in the English courts
which might be secured by the presen-
tation of proper proof on the part OF
heirs now supposed to be living in the
United States. The heirs Of David Ry-
an, for instance, who left for America
in 1861, and served in the civil war,
have a considerable fortune waiting
them; John H. Cock, who came to this
country in 1873, is also invited to claim
funds; Julia Mayfield, who left Liver
pool in 1851, is another missing lega-
tee. The heirs of George Urquart, once
a blacksmith of Glasgow, and who az
forwards emigrated to California, are
wanted, as are Richard Mellon, alias
Smith, last herd of as travelling as a.
professional prize fighter in the United
States; Frank Gould, last located in
Iowa, and F. W. Cochran. !
