SOMETHING OF HIS HABITS

The following Little Rock dispatch
to the Memphis Scimitar will be read
with interest by many Pine Bluffians:
Governor Davis has received from
the department of state at Washing
ton the translation of note from the
Charge dAffaires of The Netherlands
asking for the present address of one
David IsaacZson, who sometimes calls
himself lion In the vent OF his
being dead Mr.. J. II. Van Roijen, the
charge affaires 1t Washington, would
like to obtain duly certified mortuary
certificate. 1t appears that the man
whose whereabouts are sought has just
fallen heir to rich estate in The
Netherlands, and according to the
latest intelligence from him he is liv-
ing in the United States. In 1889 he
made temporary stay in The Hague,
whence he returned to Dallas, Tex,
in the month of December of that
year. His address at Dallas was sue
cessively 204 Main street, 431 Young
street and last 42S Pacific avenue Be
fore going to Dallas he lived at Pine
Bluff, Ark, where his address was
"Altheimer Brd' (it is not apparent
what this address means.) Before
November. 1889, Mr.. Isaaczon was a
dealer in cotton, and later he became
a commercial traveller He has not
been heard from since September,
1898, and registered letter maileu to
him at Dallas was not called for.
While the amount of the estate he has
Inherited is not named. it is evi-
IDENTITY one of considerable magnitude,
as shown by the interest taken in him
by the authorities.
A Graphic represent tative this morn
ing, afte. an investigation consuming
considerable time, finally succeeded in
esta blishing the local identity of Isaac
zen or lion. The Pine Bluff address
given n the above special of "Althei-
mer Bird" was the clue by which his
identity was established. "Altheimer
Brd' was evidently minded for Al
theimer Bros, proprietors of the
Red store, which, during the period re-
ferred to above, was conducted on
Bacraque street under the manage
ment of Mr.. Sol Kaufman.
Messrs. Joe Altheimer and Sol
Kaufman furnished the Graphic rep
resentative ,--e information here given.
M. Atheimer said that about 1889
Hollanoer worked intermittently for
them who called himself Czon or
it spelled Zon. Mr.. Altheimer had no
recollection of an lsaaczon, but the
name lion, recalled Czon his mem
