Greeley, Colo, Apr 9.-Saddened
by the recent death of ner husband
and discouraged concerning the out
look for making her living, the trou-
bles of Mrs. Gertrude Wage, which
have weighed heavily upon her, were
considerably lightened yesterday
when she received the good news
conveyed by a lawyers letter telling
her that she had fallen heir to $780,
900 in property and money.
The story of how it came about
dates back 100 years. when Mrs.
Wages great grandfather. Peter We'd
der, a grandson of one of the first
Dutch settlers of New Amsterdam,
owned with other property 26 acres
in New York City. Being of thrift
ty and economical turn and not real
izing the value of his land, Vedder
leased his acres to a church organiza-
tion for 80 years and later Trinity
church was erected on a portion of
the property.
When Peter Vedder died his prop
erty was divided among his children,
with the exception of the 26 acres
which they were bound to honor
Year by year the property became
more valuable and time developed
many legal technicalities in regard
to it.
The terms of the lease expired in
1883 and litigation began over the
valuable tract, worth millions, and
the heirs spent large sums in trying
to end the litigation. Only few of
those who brought the first suit to
regain the property are now living
The courts rendered a final decision
in the matter two days ago and a
nephew quickly apprised Mrs. Wage
of the decision.
Mrs. Wage is a modest woman of
about 55 years. whose ambition has
been to own comfortable home
This will now be gratified, but aside
from 1t and her modest expenses she
says she will devote her wealth to
spreading Gods word and assisting
the worthy poor.

Vera. Incidentally she flashed roll
of bills of some $3.50. Last evening
Vera invited the party for an auto
mobile ride. The holdup followed
about miles from town.
Three men did the job. After
searching Miss Miller. the holdup

had the money.
other members of the party were
searched. but only an insignificant
amount of valuables were taken from
them.

been arrested and charged with
stealing some wearing apparel at

of town several weeks ago and went

there was a trunk ana 1t didn't take
Walter long to open ii and take out
several articles that looked good.
When the owner of the room found
out that the trunk had been broken
