FINDS TWO.HRADED TURTLE.

Owners of private museums and
lovers of nature fakes will do we'll to
call upon Arthur Miller at his home, 81
Somerset street, this afternoon, Mr..
Miller being the proud and happy pos
SCISSOR of a two-headed turtle about
the size of half a minute. He coaxed
the little insect from its native mud
in a duck pond yesterday. The turtle
has not yet acquired bad habits but is
young and hopeful.
Mr.. Miller arose early yesterday and
sought his duck pond for the purpose
of extracting young turtles. which he
sells to a gentleman in Green street
who deals in goldfish. He playfully
dug I'D the Shiny mud with his hands
all day., catching $4.75 worth, or ninety
five at five cents each, and was about
to start home when he found the freak.
He thinks the freak is worth more than
a paltry nickel and is keeping him for
a nest egg.

steel 1ag-pole, and the boys gave their
scout yell in honor of the mayor.

of the late Robert T. Pettebone, a
wealthy real estate dealer and coal
operator, who died Tuesday at his
home in Wyoming, near here, to claim
his estate, valued at $6,O00,000. He
was one of the wealthiest men of the

been made since his death, no will
could be found, and legal contest for
the estate is expected to be made to
the various heirs.
A caveat was filed by Mrs. R. T.
Pettebone, who is said to be his widow,
and Ethel Pettebone, aged two years,
as his daughter and legal heir. Few
knew that Mr.. Pettebone was married.
On petition, Judge Freas, of the Or

the little girl.
