HEIR DENIES S. D. CLAIMANT.
Massachusetts Man Says He Is Not
His Brother.

Boston, Sept 27.-Daniel Blake Rus

is here and claims to be the missing
son and one of the heirs of Daniel
Russell, who died at Melrose, Mass.
three years ago, leaving fortune es-
timated at 100000. BY the terms Of
the will this fortune was left to a
younger son, William Russell, subject
to the following provision:
My son, Daniel Blake Russell, left
home some twelve years since, and If
he should return and prove his identi-
ty at any time within twenty years
after my death it is my earnest wish,
request and hope that my son William
share with Daniel equally and justly
whatever of my estate he may hold
at the time Daniel returns.
When the man from Dickinson pre-
scented himself, William Russell re-
fused to recognize him as his missing
brother. A suit is now in progress be-
fore Judge George d. Lawton, of the
probate court of Midd6seX county, at
East Cambridge, to determine this
question or identity.
Forty-two witnesses have been sum
poned, and three of them have already
identified the claimant from Dickin-
son as Daniel Blake Russell, son of
Daniel Russell, of Melrosc. State Sen
ator Simpson, of North Dakota, and
Nelson L. Sheldon appear for the
claimant.
BY one witness, Robert N. Twist, of
Norwood, N. Y, Russell has shown
how he beat his way" west after
failing to find work near his home.
Twist said on the stand that he ac-
companied the claimant. who told him
his name was Daniel Russell, as far
as GAINESVILLE, Mimi, where they sep.
arated.
