PROPERTY WORTH $5,ooo, 900.
Real Estate Dealer Looking Up His
 Uncle's Estate

Uncle's Estate.
 New York, Dec 23.-Jacobs Gold fam, New York real estate dealer, has filed claim to Illinois property said to be worth $5,0OO,0OO through increased value, since the death of his uncle, Isaac Goldfiam, who was mur- dered P years ago by a footpad in chicago
 Isaac left Warsaw when he was IT. In Warsaw were his brother Saul and and a sister Esther. From time to time the absent brother reported his progress, but he never told them he had become wealthy and was the lead ing citizen of Oquawaka, III. As his millions increased his communications ceased altogether.
 Meantime, about 25 years ago, Ja- cob Goldfan1, son of Saul, came to this city to seek his fortune. To him Isaac Goldfiam, the wealthy uncle, was a mere tradition.
 Three years later Isaac was killed land, it is is..stated, in the absence of known heirs, the estate, consisting largely, of copper mine investments and real estate in Chicago, was turn ed over to the public administration. Heirs of Isaac Golddam were adver- tised for, but the nephew in this city never saw his advertisement. It was only recently that a Warsaw paper re produced a story, printed in Chicago some time before of the unclaimed hoard of Go1dfiam. This account was written to Jacob Golddam and he wis ited his former home in Russia to col lect documentary evidence of his kin ship. He has now returned home with a power of attorney from each of his relatives, authorizing him to act in their behalf for the4 acquisition of the estate. Other alleged heirs, are being heard from iii numbers and a brisk legal contest is looked for.
