Will Have Charge of the Affairs
of the Estate of the Late
Miss Delilah Brown
WILL SEARCH FOR A WILL
The Residence in Which Woman Died,
and the Safety Deposit Boxes in the
Banks of the City, to be Searched
for Will or Valuable Papers
Thought to Have Been Left.

j. G. Trotter, secretary of the school
board, will be the administrator of the
estate of the late Delilah Brown, the
eccentric woman who died a few days
ago, and who is known to have left
property estimated to be worth from
$4,000 to $4,000. A search thru the
old house where Miss Brown lived, and
thru the banks of the city, will be made
at once in the hope of uncovering q
will. deeds and other valuable papers.
Whether Miss Brown left will or not,
can not be learned, but it is believed
evidence of the real estate she owned.
A niece, Mrs. Nelson, of Manhat-
tan, Kas, arrived in the city Sunday
evening and is stopping at the George
Ruopp home. With the nephew, G.. w.
Miller, she will make application for
the appointment of Mr.. Trotter, as adj
ministrator.
All sorts of stories are current in the
neighborhood where Miss Brown lived,
regarding the disposal Of her property.
One is to the effect that she had said
that she would leave all her property
to the young daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
George Ruopp, but this could not be
verified from the father when he was
seen this morning. He stated Miss
Brown had said she would remember
his daughter. but more than that he
did not know, and was disiclined to be-
lieve the rumor. His daughter was
favorite of Miss Brown, who remem-
bered her in different ways while she
was alive.
