nothing more was heard of him. The
Iowa law supposes man dead II he
has not been heard of in seven years
and permit estates to be settled on
this assumption.
Johnson's parents died and as he
still could not be located, the court
allowed the estate to be settled and
Johnson's brothers and sisters to in
herit.
Several days ago the dead" man
came back. His appearance created
confusion as well as Joy.
The other heirs to the estate have
agreed to see that he gets his right.
