Hunt for Heirs to Big Estate-No
living heirs to the estate of Heinrich
E. Kaiser being known, application
was made to the court yesterday by
the administrator, John Reimers,
through Attorneys Ruymann & Ruy-
mann, to advertise for relatives of the
deceased. The application was grant
de by Judge Donegan. Kaiser, who
for the past few years had resided
with John Reimers, was quaint and
eccentric character. Old residents
here are ignorant of his home before
he came to Davenport. He never
spoke Of his past to anyone, not ex-
cepting Mr.. Reimers, and never sought
company, aside from a few. And
with those few he was as cOmmunica-
tive as the sphinx. His death oc-
Cured some time ago. He never eX-
pressed a desire to leave a will, and
Mr.. Reimers was appointed admins
traitor of the estate. Every effort was
made to discover the whereabouts of
relative of Kaiser, if there were any
in the city, but every effort was fruit
! less. This futile search resulted in
the application to advertise for pos
sible heirs.
