A A. Fmmens of 1922 West Gordon
street has received word that he may
be one of 5000 heirs to property valued
al several million dollars in the city OF
Baltimore. The daughter of one Of the
early settlers of Baltimore was the
greatgrandmother Of Mrs. Emmens, de-
ceased. The latter's son is also dead,
but his daughter, Alberta, is living
with relatives on the North side. Mrs
Anna Fisher Of West Gordon street is
also a daughter of Mr.. Emmens.
He is an old soldier, aged 7S years,
and has been living alone since the
death of his wife. He has lived in To-
peka since 1870. Even since that time
ne has had hopes of the fortune. His
wife's greatgrandmother has II chill
dren. Mrs. Emmens would be the heir
of one of these. However, it seems that
the property consisted Of $50 acres IN
the heart of Baltimore, now occupied
by a cathedral and other buildings, has
been tied up legally. Recently Mrs.
Sarah Fuller of Mount Liberty, o., a
ar~fa - ~ II
a movement was on foot to reclaim the
land for the benefit of the heirs and
that he would likely receive his share
In the near future. Part OF this prop
erty is also occupied by the right OF
way of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad.
