While those connected with the Wentz
interests are reticent and do not deny or
confirm the report that the late y. l.
Wentz left will. yet there seems TO be
no longer any reasonable ground for
doubt that s,,ch Is fact. The will has

or marriage. at which time It is to re-
vert to his brother. y. b. Wentz.
The date Of the Will cannot be definite
~ asccrtained, but Is supposed to he

found soon after the disappearance of
young Wentz, but for some reason tho
fact Of It's discovery was kept secret,
