Heirs Found al Last.

Ten years spent by the govern
ment, through the land office oth-
eials at Harrison, in the search for
two children of J. T. Terrell have at
last brought results, and the child
ren, twelve and fifteen years of age,
have come into possession OF their
fathers homestead near Fox, on the
Red River, in Stone county,
The tract has more than 100 acres
of agricultural land, practically level
and the white oak timber on the
homestead is valued at $250O. The
entire farm is worth more than
$4,000, according to Receiver ". F,
Eatman, of Harrison.
The records OF this unique search,
which followed unusual compllca.
tions in the homesteading of Ter
rcll's land, have never been dupIicat-
cd in the offices Of the department.
Fifteen years ago Terrell home.
steaded his quarter section, and
after living there with his family five
years he was ready to make proof
About this time his wife left him
with the two children. Terrell sent
his proof in to Washington through
the land office here, but because Of
some slight errors in the papers
they were sent back for correction,
The error was not sufficient TO can.
eel his claim, but before the papers
reached the man to be corrected, he
died of fever,
His children were taken away and
the officials of the land office could
not find them, Report was made to
the department and further search
was ordered but to no avail, Re
Gently Mr.. Eatman received instruc.
tions to make a final effort to locate
the heirs, and inasmuch as seven
contests against the land had been
dismissed, it was thought best to
cancel Terrell's claim if the children
were not found
Mr. Eatman, after much corrc-
spondence with natives Of Stone
county, at the county site, NJ )un'
tain View, found that these heirs
were with their great uncle, George
W Weatherby, at Villonia, Ark,
who had taken them from their
home to care for them ten years ago
after their fathers death, Mr.,
Weatherby had himself appointed
guardian, and dpal receipt covering
the Terrell homestead was issued to
him as guardian last week,
