furnished the money with which Miss
Wilson opened the most notorious
dive In the city. In the 40 years OF
it's existence, however, there were few

Wien Allen died he left a $4,000

Six years ago Miss Wilson leased
her house, purchased $4,000 resi-

residential district, and went to live
in her new home. With her, she
brought one of the best Shakesperean
libraries in the west. Among her
books is an illustrated Bible, which
cost many. thousands OF dollars and
