CANNON MADE SOLE
HEIR TO S2,5OO,OOO
Letter From Bombay Says That
a Woman Leaves All to Him.

Speaker Cannon has received letter
from King, King & Co., bankers, of
Bombay, India, notifying him that a
woman client of theirs, Whose name is
mentioned in the letter, having been
warned by her physicians that she has
less than six months to live, has de-
posted with them her will for execu-
ton upon her death. Joseph G. Can
non Of Danville, H., is made sole heir
to an estate valued at approximately
$2,5OO,OO0
Uncle Joe did not faint from the
shock, nor does he intend to spend any
of the money in advance. Indeed, he
seems to view the news with some
skepticism, although there seems to be
no particular reason why any one in
Bombay should endeavor to perpetrate
a long distance joke of this description
upon the speaker.
1t is explained that many years ago
Mr.. Cannon, then a hard working MEM
Der of the rank and file OF the house
of representatives, did "a great deed
of kindness for a man then poor and
struggling. from whom he could have
expected no return. That man went to
india, worked hard, made investments,
VAS phenomenally fortunate and ac-
cumulafed 4 great estate. Upon his
death he left his entire estate to King
& Co.'S client for life, with the stipu-
lation that upon her death it was to
revert to Air. Cannon.
