Mr.. Longmirc has had a written power
of attorney from Mr. Flynn for a con
siderable length of time in which he
was authorized to transact all his bust
ness. He had been a close friend of the
deceased for the past 80 years.
Mr.. Longmirc knows of no near rela-
tives in America who might put in any
claims against the estate. He says that
two people have already appeared. how
ever. as distant relatives of the dcceas-
ed. one of these claiming to be Third
cousin. the other claiming closer rela-
tionship. 1t is possible that many others
will turn up in the near future who will
claim part of the estate on the grounds
of relationship.
Mr.. Flynn had told Longmire That he
was the youngest child of several chill
dren, hut that he did not know whether
any of his brothers or sisters were now
living. He had not heard from them in
many years.
II e was asked by Mr.. Longmire at one
time to make will for the disposition
of his property. He promised to do
this as soon as he located some of his
kinsmen.
August the %, 1904. is the day set
for the hearing why Longmire should
not be appointed administrator and un-
less some one appears to protest he will
be named by the court to take charge of
the estate. Proper notices will be given
and in case no kinsman show up and
prove themselves relative of the de-
ceased within two years the estate will
escneat to the state for the benefit of
the school fund.
