months and then go to work as day laborer in the gold mines, from whence he has just been snatched, in order that he might inherit 10000, OOOS and title ln England, is the task set for himself by Alfred James Alexan- der Brown, who was in Omaha en route to Worcestershire, England.
 From papers in his possession there is no doubt as to Browns indentity nor any as to the existence of the vast fortune and the title which he is go- ing to England to claim. For l5 years Brown has been believed by his family to be dead, and only by accident did he discover that his father, Sir Gentelle s. Brown of Belmont Manor, Gloucester shire was dead and that the estate and title had descended to him.
 He was in Australia when he read the news in the daily paper and the next day found him CD route to Eng land via the United States. He stop ped at Big Springs, Neb., in his eff forts to locate a cousin in that town, but failed to find his man and came on to Omaha the next day. Brown is ex- tremely modest and does not see that he IS doing anything out of the ordin- ary in giving away practically every cent of the vast fortune which has just come to him.
 Fifteen years ago, Brown, at that time about 25 years of age, had a row with his father, Sir Gentelle, and by the latter was ordered to leave and never return.
 Alfred did as he was ordered and going to Australia, he became a gold miner.
 Some years after the separation, Sir Gentelle forgave his son and made many unsuccessful efforts to find him. From information received, the young man was finally given up for dead and the efforts to locate him were given up.
 Two months ago, Brown came down from the mines in Ballarat, New South Wales, in Australia, with the inten- tion of selling his years run of gold dust and taking back with him his years supply of provisions.
 On the first night of his arrival in Sidney, after his gold had been sold to the mine, Brown dropped into res taurant and while waiting for his or der, he picked up a paper while he was waiting to be served.
 The first item to attract his atten- tiOn told of the death in England of his father, Sir Gentelle Brown, and that the 10000, ,OOOS estate would 20 to a nephew, Albert James Brown, a cowboy of Big Springs, Neb. Albert James Brown and Alfred James Brown were cousins and attended school to- gether.
 Brown looked into the shipping mo- tices and found that the Canadian Pa cific railroad steamer Empress of h. dia" sailed for San Francisco the next morning. Leaving his dinner un- touched he went to the pier ano when the big boat steamed out of the har- bor the next morning it carried him within the second class cabins.
 In due time, Alfred James Brown showed up at Big Springs, Neb., and made an attempt to locate his cousin. Albert James Brown. But the cousin was somewhere out on the range, and Alfred James Brown was compelled to continue his journey without seeing the man who had been announced as the heir to the millions of the late Gentelle Brown.
 Stopping at Omaha for day, Alfred James Brown thus told of his plans:
 "What am going to do with all this money? Give it to charity. of course. What right has any man to that much money which he has not produced. I have always believed that no man needs more than he can use himself, and now that I have an opportunity of making good I'm go- ing to do it.
 I'm going to try to get rid of the whole thing so as to be back at Balla- rat in one year. That will give me 10 months in which to get rid of 10000 .
