AN OLD TREASURE CHEST.

Here is an interesting item TO
many of our readers in this county.
as there ale a number of the des
pendants and connections Of the
old Fairfax family residing in Pres
ton and Col. John Fairfax, who
came to This county from over
the mountains in Eastern Virginia
in 1890, was a relative of the Fair
fax mentioned in the following arti-

Winchester, Va, May "a
While workmen were removing the
effects of the Shenandoah Valley
National bank yesterday to their
temporary quarters, while a new
structure is being erected, a large
iron chest was discovered in one of
the vaults, securely locked, and no
one knows what the contents are.
The chest belongs to the bank
only by virtue of possession, the
real owner having died before the
civil war, and none of the officials
care to assume the responsibility of
opening it. For IS years it has
laid in the vault of the bank .un-
touched, and for over a century it
has been in either one or the other
of the Winchester banks.
The chest belonged originally to
Thomas Lord Fairfax, and the old
baron kept all his valuable papers
and deeds to his vast domains lock
ed therein. 1t descended to a rela
tive, Felix Roberts, owner of Hack
wood, near Winchester, who dying
about 40 years ago, appointed the
late Henry Brent, cashier Of the
bank, as his executor. Mr.. Brent
never told any one what was in the
strong box, so its contents are un-
known.

OF course it isn't good policy to

LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF
THE LATE JOHN T.. JONES.

Several parties have asked The
ARGUS for information in regard to
the will of the late John p. Jones,
OF Terra Alta, and as he was so
well known and had so many friends
and being public man all his life,
the people are naturally interested
in document of that kind. We
have therefore taken the trouble to
examine the last will and testament
OF Mr.. Jones as recorded in the
County Clerks Office here and find
that it was made August 6, 1000
and admitted to record September
a8 following, with p. J. Crogan and
John w. Watson as subscribing
witnesses.
The will provides first, after all
debts were paid, his wife Annie
shall have the use of their home
and lot in Terra Alta so long as
she live or the rent of the same if
she prefer to live elsewhere. Also
she shall be paid the sum of SIS
per month SO long as she lives and
all doctor bills and necessary at
tention in sickness besides. The
rent of three houses in Terra Alta,
stock in the Garrett County Bank
and $4,000 in notes to be held in
reserve by the executors of the will
and the proceeds applied for the
use of Mrs. Jones as above out
lined and 10 be in lieu of her dow
cry and one third interest. After
her death the property to be dis
posed of and divided among the
heirs.
Next the sum of $1,000 is be-
quethed 20 Bessie J. Anderson,
daughter OF James r, Anderson,
of Parkersburg, and grand daughter
of Mr.. Jones) to be held by the
executors till she becomes of age
and if she die before that time, it
goes to the other heirs.
Fourth: The rest of the property
goes to his children, DR.. Harriet
b. Jones, Scott T. Jones, Addie ].
White and Cora ]. Rinard who
shall share equally in proportion to
the amount heretofore received by
each, Hattie b. Jones So, goo,
Scott T. Jones s7,5oo Addie J..
White $1,000 and Cora J. Rinard
50, 200. No appraisment to be
made of the property, Mr.. Jones
reposing full confd ence in the
heirs to divide it up fairly. His son
Scott T. Jones, of the Garrett
County Bank at Oakland and his
son-in-law, Will T. White, of Terra
Alta, were named as the executors
of the will and by special provis-
ION, no bond was to be required of
them and no appraisment made of
the property so it is not known Just
what the estate amounted to, but
Mr.. Jones was considered one of
the wealthy men of the county.

The "frst lady of the land" Mrs.
Mckinley, has been quite i'll on her
western trip and her life was de-
SPARED of last week but she rallied
and has been improving the past
few days and now bids fair to re.
cover. She has been in delicate
health several years and such a big
trip and so much excitement has
been very hard on her nerves. She
has also been suffering consider ably
with bone felon on her hand,
which had to be lanced several
times. This caused her to lose
sleep and helped to rack her nerves.
Then the alkali water of New Mex
leo and Arizona did not agree with
her and caused a serious dysentery,
which came near causing her death
before it could be relieved and
checked.
