When John Deston, multimillionaire'
died. he left his fortune TO younger
son. named Norman Deston. and neph- h
ew, Gerald Forbes. By his own wish,
Wilkes. his older son. was excluded iroln
sharing the great fortune.
Gerald Forbes. after the funeral, began
10 suspect that his uncle had been muir
dered and confded this belief to the at
torney. who had settled up the estate
Mr.. Barker. That gentleman tried TO
dissuade him from the belief.
In the midst Of his efforts to quiet
GeraId's fears, Norman Deston was found
dead one night on the floor Rf the pesten
home. Gerald Forbes had disappeared
and did not return for the funeral An
other strange circumstance was that
Amato father of Nina Amatc, the girl
TO whom Norman Deston was to have
been married. had left just before the
funeral and he had not been heard from.
Though the cOroner's jury had an
nounced Norman a suicide, Mr.. Barker
discounted this theory when he found the
pistol in the dead mans hand was Ger

Thorough search failed to disclose any
trace Of Gerald nor could Amato or his
daughter be found at the places to which
they were supposed to have gone.
Their first procedure was to question
Mr.. Barker and Deston closely. After
this cross-cNamination and after a quiz
zeng of the servants they gave 1t as
their opinion that Norman had been muir
dered.
The three investigators decided to work
together They investigated Gerald
Forbes record and. despite his mysteFi-
Gus disappearance, gave it as their opn
ion that he was Euiltless They then
went into the engagement of Norman and
Miss Amato. BarrOws, one OF the de-
tectives, startled the others and declared
that the man who represented AmatO

a wig, while Mr.. Barker declared that
he knew AmatO for many years, and
knew positively that he did not wear
false hair.

potatoes next season and aid in
the erection of warehouse. 1t
is being signed literally since it
was started Monday
In signing this petition the far

duce any acreage Of potatoes,
but simply shows his willingness
in event the warehouse is assured
to be in readiness to perpetuate
a market for his tubers.
The farmer now has the oppor
tunitv to open up ready mar
ket for his farm production and
should not let it slip away or
account of lack of energy. It's
one of the best things that could
come to Eagle River.
