T. -, Percefield the drayman who
went 70 Carthage, Mo-, last week to
investigate the rumor of a legacy
which he was said to have been heir
to, has returned to his home in Chart
ton, but refuses to talk in regard to
the matter except to say that his in
terests will be well looked after when
it comes to a final settlement. From
other sources. however, it is learned
that his grandfather did leave an es-
tate in Missouri and that he is one of
the heirs, but while the estate is valu-
ed at about $10,0 900 there are more than
the three heirs originally reported and
it will take much work and time to fin
ally settle the estate, some few heirs
not yet being located, and much legal
business yet to be transacted before a
settlement can be had. Mr.. Percefield
is one of the heirs, however. and
though not as fortunate as at first re-
ported, he will have no trouble in prov
ing his identity and receiving his
share of the fortune.
