Wealth.

dustrious Father.

There is at least one woman in Red |
Lodge who feels that she has no quar- !
rel with fate at present. That is Mrs. |
E. S. Lennon, who has just received |
the very comfortable piece Of infof-
nation that considerable fortune
She has made UP her mind to start
the first of the year on the long jour-
ney back to the scenes of her child
hood, believing that she will then re-
alize more from the estate than if
she leaves it for lawyers to settle en-
tirely. 1t is long, hard journey to
take, especially in winter, but Mrs.
Lennon is So pleased at her good for
tune that she looks forward to the
trip with much less repugnance than
would otherwise be the case.
It is twenty-five years now since
Mrs. Lennon left the shores Of her
native land. Then she was known as
Miss Tuperg. It is impossible for her
to tell exactly what the estate will
amount to, but its value can hardly
be less than $15O,000, and may be con-
siderably more than that
The definite news of this windfall
came to Mrs. Lennon in letter from
her brother, Frank Tuberg, prosper
Gus business man of Window, Mimi,
where he is the proprietor Of three
brickyards. The estate belonged to
her father who died in 1892, but news
of affairs in the old country has in
frequently come to the expatriated
members of the family. What called
particular attention to the existence
of large, unclaimed estate was the
death Of a brother of Mrs. Lennon,
which occurred in Sweden in October.
The estate consists of several farms
Mrs. Lennon does not know just
how many-a large flour mill, an ex-
tensive sawmill, and several smaller
institutions, including carpenter and
blacksmith shops. When the daugh-
dustry and frugality of her father de-
| parted from Sweden in the long ago,
the elder Mr.. Tuberg was possessed
of four large, Well-improved farms.
Since then he has added to his pos
sessions in this line, but to what ex-
| tent it is impossible for those most
i ;~,%o +nl IN n state
But $4,000 is considered very con-
servative estimate Of the value OF tho
landed part of the estate, which lies
within four miles Of Gutenberg, Swe-
den.
! In addition to the direct inheritance
of property, there will be large rentals
coming to the legal heirs, for these
several farms have been leased since
1892, without payment having been
made to the rightful owners for use
age.
It is hard to conceive of a more de
serving person for fortune thus to
smile upon than Mrs. Lennon. Fol
eighteen years she has endured 8
more or less unremitting struggle tt
keep the wolf from the door, 4
present she is proprietress of one O.
the most popular boarding houses u
Red Lodge. This has been her occu
patton all these years, and she ha
managed to keep herself and daugh
ter in most respectable circumstances
She kept a large boarding house il
St, Paul, later went to Denver, thel
removed to Carbonate, and for SOM
time has been in Red Lodge, Wher
she expects to make her home afte
she has claimed the fortune aWaitin
her.
Mrs. Lemons neice, Mrs. ]. {
Blanding of Carbonate, is in the cit
to spend Christmas, and she ha
agreed to remain here and care TO
the boarding house while Mrs. LEI
non is absent on the long trip. Mrs
Blanding's mother, Mrs. Strom, is sti
living at the old home in Gutenberg
and Mrs. Lennon will endeavor
u have her return to the United State
y with her,
S The Minnesota brother has not ye
). decided whether he will accompan
II his sister to Sweden, but he will met
Q her in st. Paul, and there they wi
make their plans. Mrs. Lennon he
already inquired of L. P. Sichler & .
for round-trip railroad and steamt
: rates, and she is fully determined
go.
Mrs. Lennon owns her own home
Red Lodge, having purchased it Ia
summer. She uses it for boardlr
house, and, though definite plans ha'
not yet been made, she may consl
