ton of an estate worth, so New York
papers say, 100000. To locate the
heirs of this estate the New York
authorities and the German consul
have been making a two-years' inves-

nominee man is the principal heir was
made by accident.

Pfankuch, of SaXe-COburg-G otha, Ger
many, had been found to be third
cousin Of the late Gustav Kaempf, and
that the entire estate would go 10 him,
as the sole heir. This excited the
curiosity of the young woman, who
knew there were but few people in
this country bearing that name. She
called her fathers attention to the
news. Pfankuch remembered that
one Gustav Kaempf was his mothers
sisters son. Further inquiry resulted
in establishing the fact that Kaempf
and his father had come TO this coun-
Try years ago and settled in New York.
Next Thing Comes the Law.
Legal steps will be taken TO make
claim to the portion Of the estate due

came to the United States from Ger

of the KaempfS. who left the father

is said to consist Of large real prop
erty holdings. The elder Kaempf en-
gagged i'm the manufacturing business
and amassed considerable fortune.
Upon his death his son. Gustav
Kaempf, inherited the wealth and in
creased il materially.
