JOHN WILSON GETS ESTATE
Texas Mans Title to Parents Property
Absolute.
LAST CONTESTANT YIELDS CLAIM
Man who Left Home in Youth After
Dispute Now Entitled TO Control
Estate Father and Mother
Left Him.
LAST CONTESTANT YIELDS CLAIM

TECUMSEH, Neb., March 17.-(Special
Telegram John Wilson has at last clear
title to his inheritance of $4,000 worth of
Johnson county real estate Duncan Kin
neburg the last disputant, yielded Thursday
and the man who ran away from home
when a youth is rightfuny entitled to the
property his parents for years sought to
give him.
John Wilson, who lives at Houston,
Tex. established his identity in the county
court house here August 10, 1910. as being
the rightful heir to the estate of the late
Judge and Mrs. John Wilson of Tecumseh
Mr.. Wilson left home in young manhood
following a quarrel with his father and he
never saw his parents again. Judge and
Mrs. Wilson went to Scotland and to
Alaska in quest of their boy and spent
hundreds of dollars looking for him in the
United States. Both died disappointed in
their great hope. Mrs. Wilson was the
last to die and the estate, valued at $50, 600
was left to the son, John, should he ap-
pear and establish his identity within five
years from Mrs. Wilson's death.
Proves Up on RtEht.
Mr.. Wilson came to Tecumseh a few
days before the expiration of the time. The
case occupied a day in the county court,
many of the pioneer settlers being exam
ined and being allowed to examine Mr..
Wilson. The claimant answered correctly
twenty-three out of twenty-four questions
left by his father for him to answer. Judge
James Livingston found him to be the heir.
In case Mr.. Wilson failed to establish
his identity the estate was to go to three
nephews of the departed, James Kinne-
burg and Donald Black of this county and
Duncan Kinneburg of Washington, Kan.
The Nebraska men were satisfied at the
Identification as proven, but the Kansas
man was not and appealed from the find
ing Of the county judge The case came
up at the fall term of district court, but
was continued until March 20. The volun-
| tary dismissal of the case by Mr.. Kinne-
burg puts an end to the litigation and the
administrator of the Wilson estate will
now arrange to turn the same over to the
! Texas man.
