endeavor to get the advantage of
the provision in the will of the late
Harriet Lane Johnston, niece of
President Buchanan, which gives

making of the memorial park
would be big attraction for the

HEIR TO MILLION.
A Franklin County Blacksmith
Went West After Large
Fortune.
WILLIAM BELFORD'S GOOD LUCK.

WILLIAM BELFORD'S GOOD LUCK.
William Belford, aged about
tifty-hve years, a blacksmith whose
shop is at the old John Yoder
stand at the fork of the roads on
the top of Eberly's Hill, northwest
OF town about mile, is the heir to
about a million dollars, if the story
of his good fortune is true.
The estate to which Mr.. Belford
is one of but three heirs was left
by man in Scotland and amounts
to three million dollars. This IS
all the information we now have
on that score hut we are assured
that so much of the story is abso-
lutely true.
Mr.. Belford, his brother living
in Pittsburgh, and woman rela-
| UiNC, ClbICi IL SlSbcI VI IL COuSlIl III
of theirs, living in Salt Lake City,
Utah, are the three heirs to this
immense fortune.
The woman referred to is well
supplied with money and has made
several trips to Europe, during
which she has investigated their
claims to the fortune told of.
Lately she has completed her chain
of title and has the necessary legal
papers ready to prove the rights
of herself and Belford brothers to
the estate.
She went to Pittsburg and con-
suited with the Mr.. Belford there
and he in turn sent here the son of
William Beford who is employed
in Plttsburg. The young man
told his father all the details of the
case and brought message for the
father to return with him to Pitts
burg. This was done, the father
and son leaving here on Monday
night, March 10Th COR the Smoky
City to meet the lady in the case
and Mr.. Belford's brother.
Word from Pittsburg is that the
conference there was entirely sat
isfactory and the three started for
Salt Lake City where attorneys en-
gagged by the woman will prepare
and have executed the papers nee
essary for the three to prove their
case and get their inheritance.
Mr.. Nelford has many friends
here ana over our county who will
join in the hope that his good for
tune may be all that is now expect
ed and that he will get the million
told of. Many of these European
estates with American heirs are
purely mythical but in this case
everything seems to show that
there is such an estate in Scotland
and that the three of whom we
have told are the legitimate heirs
to 1t.
More will be known of the mat
ter in Il few days and we hope then
to tell further of the estate and the
heirs to 1t. it.-Repository.
Mr.. Belford, 1T will be remem-
bered conducted blacksmith shop
on the Cove road, about 3 miles
south of town at what was known
as Ayr postofice. Many of the
citizens of this community hope
that the report may be confirmed
and that Mr.. Belford will come
into his share of the fortune.
