The Whole Thing.

New York, Aug. 17,-Heirs of
John Tyson, multi-mllionaire Of
Autralia, who recently died without
leaving a will, are preparing to
hurl bomb at the hopes of Miss
Ollie Tyson, who lives in Todd
county, Kentucky, and who says
that Tyson was her uncle. Tyson
was a celebrated and eccentric
character in the land of sheep and
lkangaroos, where he accumulated
a fortune of S40,OOO,OOO, and his
fair namesake of Kentucky was in
formed that her portion would be
$2,OOO,OOO.
Her claim, however, is about to be
disputed by Charles A. Tyson, a
grocer, living at 81 Grand street,
Port Richmond, who alleges that
John Tyson, was his granduncle, a
brother of his (Charles) grand
father, and that consequently the
Australian could not have been the
uncle of Miss Ollie Tyson, a maid of
but tender years. :
! II never saw or heard of Ollie
Tyson" said the granddaughter in
an interview, "and know nothing
about her except that the papers
depict her as d charming woman.
But ! cannot help thinking she is in
error when she says, according &c
the papers, that this John Tyson
was her uncle, and only went on
to Australia fifteen years ago.
"My information is that John Ty
son left Scotland, where my grand
father lived, about forty years ago
and spent long life in accumulat
ing money by sheep farming. Well
either there are two John Tyson
or else one of us is mistaken.
t'Far be it from me to disappoin
the pretty claimant in Kentucky
but I'm not person of great mean
myself, and if am in the right yo
can bet that I'll go after tina
money"
