residents of Stone county, Mo, were Wis

ton millionaire, w. NJ. Rice, who died in
New York on September 90. 1900 The
attorney notified them TO be in the pro-
bate court in New York ON February I,
when action would be taken on the will
of the dead millionaire. The hoirs are
children of the late Colonel David Rice,
a brother, Stone county. Years ago the
brothers were partners in business in
Texas, but disagreement caused their
estrangement and Colonel David Rice.
who afterwards suffered the loss Of his
fortune, lived the life of a recluse in
Stone county. never mentioning the name
OF his rich brother nor communicating
with him. For this reason his children
never knew hhey had a wealthy uncle In
New York nor had they heard of his
death and the suspicious circumstances
attending it. Owing to their poverty they
will be unable to go to New York TO
claim their share OF the estate, but will
arrange to have their interests cared
for. Their names are B. r. Rico, Bird
Rice and Mrs. Gottle Clark Both OF the
wills of the dead millionaire cut these
relatives off without a cent.
