In Paris

Supposed Heir to $4,000 Came to

Special to Tlmes-Republican.

Pocahontas. March 29.-Word was
received u few days ago by Attorney
Hazlet Of this place that there is a
little torture OF 100000 awaiting dis
tribution among the heirs of a certain
man by the name of Murray, who died
in Paris some little time ago, and that
"Mclly" Murray. prominent farmer
living near Pocahontas, is one If not
the only of the heirs to the estate.
Mick Murray during his life has had
some rather peculiar experiences He
was born in Ireland and at the age of
Ia he came to America as stowaway
in one Of the steamers. He went i'm
mediately to the home of his uncle,
who was them located in an eastern
city as manufacturer, and who, by the
way, is the one who recently died in
Paris. The uncle was glad to receive
the boy into his home and made prep
arations to give him an education as
we'll as a home. Micky was accord
ingly started into school, but found
it very distateful, and after about a
week ram away from his uncle's home
and commenced roughing 1t thru the
western states.
The uncle advertised extensively
for the young man and he in his
travels often read them, but was de-
termined to make his way alone and
was also determined not to go to
school.
After considerable travel over the
country he finally located jim Pocahon-
tas county and bought a farm. He is
now one of the wealthy farmers of the
county.
information Hard to Secure.
Within the past few years he has
employed Attorney William Hazlet to
investigate the condition Of his uncle's
estate, knowing that the uncle had
few If any heirs. After a great deal
of correspondence. the letter received
few days ago is the first which gives
definite information as to the death Of
the uncle and the fortune left. 1t
seems that after the uncle had amass-
ed fortune in the business of man
ufacturing in one of the eastern cities
Of the United States, he sold all his
interests in America and returned to
spend his remaining years In Europe.
His death occurred In Paris some time
ago and it was found by his will that
all property was left to different char
table institutions. In accordance
with the laws in France, however.
certain percentage is set apart for pos
sibe heirs who may make claim, and
100000 is the portion set apart for the
heirs Micky Murray thinks he is the
only heir and since hearing from Paris
feels that he will receive the whole
amount.

WORRY CAUSED DEATH
Myers Thought He Was Victim OF
Consplracy--Nerves Unstrung.

Conspiracy-NerVes Onstrung'
Salineville, March 22.-Thomas My
er's remains were inferred at Iron
dale Monday. His death has been laid
to his discharge from the Big Vein
Coal Co.'s mine here last July. He
thought he was the victim of a con-
spiracy to discharge him from his job
as engineer at the coal mine, and
brooded over the affair until his ner-
vous system was wrecked. He wor-
ried over his discharge for months,
and often talked over the affair to his
friends. He was a very sensitive man
and popular with his workmen.
The large number of farms for rent
In the vicinity has surpassed anything
that has been known here for years.
Last week six farms east of Saline
vile that all cornered on each other
were for rent, with no one to rent
them. Many OF the farms that were
rented last spring to parties are for
rent this spring, and the land owners
are puzzled to account for the unusual
condition of affairs.
