Boy Finds RoIl.-An excited stran-
ger who couldn't speak English and

considerable excitement at the police
station Wednesday night. From an in

had been robbed of $3.50 and a check
for $50. He gave the name of Richard
Vandeguisto and said that he had ar
rived here in the afternoon from the
beet fields of Wisconsin. The money
that he had lost was his summers
wages. Vandeguisto applied for lodg-
ing at 922 Railroad avenue, and desir-
ing to be a good fellow contributed %
cents for can of beer. When he flash
ed his roll of money he said that two
other men jumped on him, took his
money and kicked him into the street.
He went to a saloon nearby, told of his
being robbed, and was thrown out.
Fellow countrymen took him to the po-
lice station. While the police were
still working on the case Vandequisto
appeared at the police station a third
time. He was happy this time. He
said that he was in the vicinity of the
boarding house when a small boy ap-
preached and asked him if he was the
man who had lost a pocketbook When
an affirmative reply was given, the
lad handed over the missing pocket
book. 1t contained STA and the check
for $50. The police believe that Van
deguisto spent the missing amount.

CHICAGO, Slept. 2S.-Illinois will
seek to collect an inheritance tax on
that part of thet estate of the late Ed
ward III. Hartman within its bounda-
ries. AS it's first step toward settling
the amount of this tax the state OBJ
tanned the appena ment-of an appraiser
of the estate.
On the petition%of Walter X. Lincoln,
inheritance tax ttorney, acting for At
torney General Stead, County Judge
Lewis Rinaker appointed j. Scott Mat
thews to appraise the estate under the
provisions of the new Inheritance tax
law, effective July 1. The appointment
was made September 10, but the fact
was suppressed until today to give the
appraiser opportunity to make a full
schedule of the railroadmanls estate, so
that the share to which the Illinois law
may apply could be ascertahned. Mat
tlBews said this schedule will arrive
here tomorrow morning.
q general estimate of the wealth left
by the magnate has been placed by
SOME as high as 100000. 600. Illinois,

upon to use the great influence which
he must have as secretary of the in
terror to this proper end. Indeed, il
will be found that in his reports as
commissioner of the general land Office
he brought these matters to the atten-
tion of congress and urged the adoption
of a general policy along the lines
