Boston, Mass, May f.-Out OF
the past Charles c. Jones re-
turned yesterday to claim the
\ property which had been distrib-
uted to his children years ago,
aztec It had been generally under
stood that he was dead. He has
lived many years In Minnesota,
and for awhile at Mankato. MINI.
The story Of his wanderinss in
his many years OF absence, dur
ing which time all trace OF him
was lost by his relatives, 10 one
OF the most interesting and ro-
mantle that has ever been told.
Technically Jones seeks, through
his petition heard In the supreme
court yesterday before Judge Bra
ley, to have set aside the Nor
folk county probate court decree
by which his property was APP
porticned among his children.
His father was John Coffin

went to the father OF James J.
Storrow TO be held IN trust for
the benefit OF his wife. Charles
c. Jones, the present petitioner.
remained in this state after the
death OF his father until 1869,
when he got a job in Duluth
bank. He was married at that
place, and In 1871 got $4,000
from his fathers estate. Two
years later. however, the bank
where he was employed failed In
panic, and he found himself
without a position. His house was
destroyed by fire. and he suffered
other serious financial losses.
Unable to support his wife and
two children he sent them to her
mother, and found work in saw
mill. While at work IN the smili
he suffered an accident and all
the fingers of his left hand were
cut of. His Boston relatives de-
ciined to consider him one OF the
family when he sought their aid
In 1879, but they agreed to pay
his fare to Australia, where he
went prospecting for gold. BY
1887 he had accumulated $4,000.
and he started home by way OF
the Philippine islands, but his
steamship was wrecked and the
money lost.
Jones reached an island on
which he remained five months.
after which he was rescued by a
Dutch warship, and taken to Java.
After that he became a praspeetor
In Siam. and was . member OF
the Philippine scouts during the
Philippine scouts during the
Spanish war. He served on the
staff of General ChaHee during
the Boxer rebellion.
