In Hougfton couhty there are eight or

HEIR OF cLARk's MILLIONS
William A. Clark the Third May Have
the. Worlds Greatest Fortune.

William A. Clark the Third May Have
the Worlds Greatest Fortune.
BUTTE. MONT.-No babe was ever
born in Montana with such brilliant pros
poets before it as the little stranger who
recently came to the home Of William A.
Clark, Jr., son of United States Senator
Clark, the Montana millionaire copper
mine owner.
The grandson of Senator Clark is an
heir in the direct line of the many mil
lions of dollars. The new baby is the
only grandson, and. prospectively, the heir
to the greatest portion of his enormous
wealth.. - so " ID 49,.
The crown prince of Germany will in
herit no more wealth than will this
youngster. The Gar of Russia might be
able to endow a male heir with an amount
approximately the same as the - Clark
heirs prospective fortune, provided he had
a male heir, but no other European ruler
could.
Neither the present Prince of Wales.
nor his royal father. could give an heir
such fabulous wealth as this, little child
will ultimately control. .~'i~ ,.'..
This Butte baby. born on the first day of
the midWinter month in the cold and
smelter smoke of the big copper mining
camp, if events take their&natural course,
will direct a power as great as that of J.
Pierpont Morgan to-day. and even greater
thar that of the King of England.
If the Clark fortune muitiplses at the
same rate as the other great fortunes of
the present generation have grown, the
one which Will descend to the. Clark
grandson will perhaps be the greatest IN
the$wor1d. a. % !, ri 4 ire ..-..7.
The heirs of Senator w A. Clark's vast
fortune are few, These are two sons and
two daughters Each of his, rdaughthers
has a daughter; but William A. Clark, Jr..
Is the only one who has a. son. 81
No one knows the exact wealth Of Sena
tor, Clark. and it IS doubted IF he know
it himself. Various estimates place il
anywhere from $40. 900. O00s to $3.50. 900,
0O0. 1t is a known fact that Senator
Clark has refused an offer Of SIS, OOO. OOC
for his United Verde and that, experts
have computed the value of the copper in
this famous mine to approach close to a
billion and quarter dollars. In Butte
alone. Senator Clark controls fifteen of the
big mines. while he is interested in many
more of the Amalgamated Copper com
pany's properties. Z W !,
Senator Clark's interests are diversified
to a. remarkable degree. In old Mexico
he owns a coffee plantations. In lower
California and Colorado he has sugar beef
farms. while in New Jersey he owns, a
nail and bolt factory, with which to SUP.
ply his many mines. He is also interested
in several railway projects.
Allowing Senator Clark 81 100000 a yea
for all expenses, his fortune doubtless will
net him easily 10 per cent. Estimatins
his fortune at S100.000,OOO, this gives ar
income Of $4,000, OOO. r.. -,

MOTHER FoCEoWs SON
Slayer Of the Latter Responsible In Part


for Death OF Former.
IOWA CITY, IOWA.--The dark shadow
of a double murder rests upon the man
or. woman--who fred the shot that took
the life of James Gallaugher one night last
June.
Mrs Lucy Atkins a beloved pioneer
of Iowa City is dead and 1T is =. not
an exaggeration to say that the one who
assassinated Mr.. gallagher is, responsi-
BILE, in a large sense, for her death also
Mrs. Atkins was the venerable mother
of the murdered man. With, a strength
beyond her years. she attended the muir
der trial every day and withstood the
shocks of the developments in way that
astonished all beholders. Even the. sight
of the skull of her son. exhibited in court,
she bore without quailing. ,s3 **..
When the trial was over, and the daugh-
ter-in-law, whom she believed guilty of
the crime. was acquitted, and before the
Indictment for perjury sent the widow
flying to parts unknown, Mrs. Atkins
broke down completely.
The brand of Cain is thus twice on the
brow of the person who fired the shot into
the head of the sleeping farmer that night
in June. 49,. -. -.

Long Terms for HoId-up Men.
ABERDEEN, S. D.-The jury in the
Geeslin embezzlement case brought in a
verdict of acquittal after being out more
than twentyfour hours. Geeslin was
charged with the stealing of something
like $4,000 from the Farmers Elevator
company of James. His defense was that
the money was lost specializing in wheat
on orders from some Of the officers of the
elevator company. Judge Mccoy per-
mitted the unusual procedure of the jury
returning it's verdict late Sunday evening,
because one of the jurors, M. D. Widdis
of this city. was suffering from pneu-
mOnia. contracted during the trial.
Judge Mccoy has sentenced Burns and
Andrews, the hold-up men convicted last
week, to twelve years and nine months in
the penitentiary at Sioux Falls. They
robbed two harvest hands and secured less
than IS, after which they shot one of the
men in the ankle. Charges of assault
with intent to kill will not be tried, the
judge taking :cognizance. at time of sent
ence of the charge through the evidence
brought out in the charge of robbery.
