Prof Harry Thompson, Of Ijams-
vile. who died several days ago has
left a considerable amount Of prop
erty to the Loats' Orphans Home,

tate has been made and because Of
the fact that the institution secures
the residue OF the estate, after Ger
tain requests have been made. DR..

stated last Monday that he was un-
able to give any idea of the amount,
but inferred that guess by him
