 LONC-LOST FATHER
Oklahoma Woman Believes Heir tG Quarter Million Is Her
 Parent.

LaPorte, Ind, June 2.-Nellie R. Lawrence, of Marmec, Okla., thinks she has found her long-lost father in the person of one George Brown, who, according to press dispatches, is heir to $250,000. The dispatch, which was sent from Evansville, stated rela- tive had left Brown S25O,0CO and the man was working on a railroad some where in Indiana.
 Twenty years ago Brown left Au- burn, Neb., after a family quarrel and changed his name to George H. Kim berly. Miss Lawrence says that she has every reason to believe that Geo. H. Brown, the Indiana man for whom she has looked for 20 years, is her father and writes Chief of Police Meiken of this city that she is es y4- cially anxious to find him. Miss Law renee says that when a child her as- sOciates were strange men and Wo- men in whose keeping she was plac- ed and that once in Topeka, Kansas, she was placed on a train by man, supposedly George Brown, who gave her into the custody of strange wo- man who later thrust her upon the charities of the world
