Went There Forty Years Ago.

John oCornor went to Hastings more
than forty years ago. when the town
was on the real frontier. In those days
1t was not fashionable to ask man
where did you come from? Most west
ern towns have special corner in the
cemeteries for those who became too
inquiStive in the early days.
O'Connor opened a shoe shop, kept his
mouth shut. worked hard. invested in
land and when he died four months ago
was worth more than 100000 But not a
soul knew where he came from. He left
a will giving everything to a friend, but
the intrument was not legally drawn and
is worthless. The court took possession
of his property and advertised for his
heirs.
Claimants appeared from almost every
state in the Union, some from Canada
and at least three form old Ireland

Hastings John O'Connor their farthers'

nors were not related Some of the claim

but others went in person. A Green

him and wanted 10 take the money back

BY order of the court burial of the

State of Nebraska Claimant.
one Of the claimants is the state Of
Nebraska. under Law which gives to
the commonwealth all property to which
no heir can be found. The state makes
the claim that none OF the O'Counors
can prove relationship to the dead man

Property in Cash and Realty.

The property left by John oConnor
is in cash and first-class realty in and
around Hastings. Under direction of the
court James Bratton has been appointed
administrator and is caring for the estate
until il is distributed to the heirs. Miss

nor was the brother Of her mother.
Hastings authorities do not know
whether Miss TeuXell is related to the
Washington O'Conuors. whether, in
the dead man. she recognizes an en-
tirely different man than the other
Washington people do.
But if the Washington 0'Connors. or
Miss Teuxell get the Hastings fortune.
they will have to fight d whole tribe OF
O'Connors for il. This they evidently
are preparing to do. as they have engaged
attorneys to watch their interests. O'Con-
nors from all over the country have put
in claims for the property. None OF
these claimants appear to be related to
any living O'Connor. but the last one Of
them is close kin TO the dead man of
that name. Among the 100 O'Connors
who have written the Hastings court
claiming relationship to John O'Connor
Anoher horde are sure he was their
brother Then there are the sons who
number will on toward 100. In fact
every relationship which can be claimed
to a man has been applied by at least
dozen of those who believe they are
entitled to all or portion of the estate
left by the eccentric man who was so
foolish to die without telling people
where his kinfolk live.
