BACHELORS ESTATE
REACHES 6 FIGURES

Muscatine, Iowa, April 21.-That
the estate of the late Charles Hampe,
eccentric old bachelor, who was
found dead in his poorly furnished
room on West Second street last Feb
ruary, goes well into six figures was
learned today when the report of the
appraisers was made known. j. j.
Fishburn, J. F. Harris and F. W. Ev-
ersmeyer were the appraisers and
they yesterday completed the task of
determining what Inheritance tax
shall be collected on the estate.
The estate is not only one of the
largest that has been appraised for
the purpose in this county but also
shows the unusual situation Of having
more than $65,000 cash in the banks
Exclusive of land in Nebraska and
Kansas the appraisers declare that
the value of the estate is more thar
$4,000. Of the estate in Iowa the
property is confined to this and Lee
counties. Another unusual feature Is
the small proportion of the estate tina
is in real property, the vast bull
being in monies, mortgages and cred
! it's
! Charles Hampe was the second ant
last of two brothers, both Of whom
were of an eccentric character. Tht
brother died several years ago.
