CORRECT ANSWERS
TO WIN 100000
Ten Unknown Questions and Re-
plies, Sealed, to Test

COURT TO OPEN ODD LETTER
Father DisoWnS Son, ReIents, and
Dies Without Finding Him.
Heir Appears

TECUMSEH, Neb.. Aug. 5.-If John
Wilson, Jr., of Tecumseh and Houston,
Tex, answers ten questions correctly
he will come into possession of $50, 900
now on deposit in the TecumSeh bank.
But If he fails to answer to the salts
faction of Judge Livingston of the pro-
bate court he will get nothing. The
money was left by Scotch Wilson,
who died five years ago, to be handed
the questions, sealed and placed in the
custody of his executors, will furnish
the test by which Wilson, jr., will have
to prove that he is indeed the son and
heir of the old man.
Scotch Wilson, farmer. lived in Te-
cumseh for years. He grew well-to-
do. He ruled his family with an iron
hand.
There was just one son, John, jr He
was chip of the old block, and the two
quarreled incessantly. AS the boy
grew older the quarrels became more
and more frequent, until they culminat-
ed in a particularly bitter affair, which
ended when Wilson yelled:
Leave my house and never darken
it's doors again. You are no son of
mine. never want to see or hear of
you again."
John, t., got out. That was thjrty-six
years dSO1 anu lIOIIl llidL hight uIltll
last week, when he came here, John
Wilson was neither seen nor heard of
by any one in Tecumseh. Within one
year from the time Wilson drove his
son from home the old man relented
and made every effort to locate John,
jr. He travelled and advertised widely.
He offered large rewards and made
every effort to find the young man, but
all the efforts were fruitless.
OLD MAN WILSON DIES
Five years ago Wilson died. "My son
may come home after l am dead" said
the old man as he lay on his deathbed.
Therefore, I want my estate kept in
tact for him for five years after my
death: If he does not call for the
money by that time, give 1t to my three
nephews." The five years elapsed on
July 21.
Old man Wilson, fearing some Inn
postor might secure the legacy, ar
ranged the ordeal for any claimant.
This ordeal consists of set of ten
questions concerning matters known
only to the elder Wilson and to his son.
Scotch Wilson with his own hand wrote
these questions and the answers there
to- They were sealed and handed to
A. C. Sullivan, the executor of the
estate, who placed the package in a
safety deposit vault, there to remain
until the son returned to claim the in
heritance. If this event did not trans

evening at the home of his mother-in-

Brighton, S. l., just as he stepped out
of the house with brother-1n-laW.
One of the other set of brothers-in-

Campbell of Simonson place, on April
l6 last. lie has made his home with
his mother-in-law since. Last week he
applied for q policy in the Metropolitan

company looked him UP and discovered
he had taken a policy couple of
years ago, but had let it lapse.
The first policy was in favor of a
wife with an entirely different Chris
tian name, ard in applying for the
new policy Townsend had failed to
say he had married before. An agent
was sent to the address given in the
old policy, 422 Ocean avenue, Jersey
City.
Shat spoiled the double life game.
Townsend had been spending every
Monday night at the Jersey City home
and dropping in for few meals each
week. He had, to bt out in towns near
New York, selling goods, he said. 1t

Such SLAM FOR
old Kid CURLEY

Minneapolis Journal: A North Da-
kota man writes as follows:
Horace Fletcher, aged so, will lee
ture in Grand Forks Feb. H., 10 and
IA. He claims to have unusual en-
durance. DIR. Anderson, physical di-
rector, Yale, twenty five years, wrote
me recently that Mr.. Fletcher appar-
emily had no difficulty I'm breaking
some worlds records. We have some
skeptics here who would be pleased
to have some one defeat Mr.. Fletcher
in an open competition at the Y. M
c. A. Feb. IL. Will you kindly put
us in communication with some cham
pion athlete?
AS we understand II, Mr.. Fletcher's
lecturing speciality is jaw gymnastics
in the way of endurance mastication
and. therefore we haste to offer the
name of Curley Ullrich, who is a
boxer on the side but a professional
jaw worker by profession. Curley is
much younger than Mr. Fletcher, and
is in splendid condition all Of the time
The only difficulty about putting
Ullrich into this competition will be
in selecting the substance upon which
to chew. Mr.. Fletcher specializes upon
food. while rag chewing over his fight
ing ability is the long suit of the Su-
perior cyclone.
The letter of the North Dakota gen.
tleman, though. was written with a
serious intent Waving aside all frIvo-
lous comment, the subject is left open
for any athlete who may care to I'M
dergo any series of tests with Mr.
Fletcher. Any desirious OF trying out
with him will be furnished the address
of the writer upon application.

TEX GIVES UP
SALT LAKE idea

San Francisco, Cal, Feb. S.-A new
angle has turned up in the Jeffries-
Johnson fight, just another problem
which will add TO the guessing con-
test in which the big scrap has re-
solved itself From Jac-- Gleason, who
Is in Missoula, Mont, comes the word
that Tex Richard has consented to
give in to Gleason and permit him to
hold the title fight in this city on the
afternoon of July 4.
THE big fight will positively take
place in San Francisco" said Gleason,
land not in Salt Lake City. This is
absolutely final. / have communicated
with Tex Richard by telegraph and we
have made the necessary arrange
ments to handle thu fight ir. San
Francisco. Richard is satisfied with
my plain and he has already given
his consent. 1 am to meet Richard i'm
Salt Lake City on Monday afternoon,
when all of the details will be settled.
There are full assurances from the
board of supervisors of San Francisco
that a r ermit will be granted for hold
ing the forty five round fight inside the
city limits. This information I wired
Tex. and that is what gained his as
sent"
Probably my stand has been mis-
represented 10 Richard but everything
has been Strengthened out and Rick
ard sees the advantage of taking the
fight to the coast. As soon as / have
had my conference with Richard in
Salt Lake City, | will rush back 10
San Francisco and commence the
construction of an arena that will seat
10000 people"
The ~uddcn change in Richards
plans, coming with he arrival of
James w Coffroth, strengthens the
reports that James lis the real man
behind the fight.
