READS LIKE A NOVEL
Heirs of Larkin Mcdaniel Located
After Being Lost Track of for
Almost Half a Century.

A story which sounded like novel
was revealed in the district court
Tuesday morning when a hearing
was held before Judge Maxwell in
the matter of the estate of Larkin
Mcdaniel, who died in this county a
couple of years ago, leaving an es-
tate of some sixteen or seventeen
so years old at the time of his death,
and left no will, his nephew, A.: T..
Weldon, being appointed administra-
tor of his estate, and he has had a
difficult matter in locating the heirs,
and one branch OF the family has not
yet been located One brother, Isaac
Mcdaniel settled in Decatur county in
He left here in 1866 going to Platte
county, No. where he lived 4 year
and then moved to Kansas, where he
died, and his wife wrote for her
brother, Allan Miller, to- come and
live with them, and the family then
moved to Arkansas, where the moth
er died in q short time. The three
separated, and lost all track Of each
other. One of the boys, Larkin, was
known as Larkin Mcdonald, and A.
T. Weldon made trip to Texas, and
Oklahoma trying to locate the heirs.
He finally located the daughter, Mrs.
Permelia Capps, who lives at Barron,
Oklahoma, and through information
search and located her two brothers,
A. L. at Bay City, Texas, and A: J. at
Tar City, Oklahoma. The two brOtll-
ers came to Leon last week, but their
sister was unable to make the Long
journey here. q
A. L. Macdonald as he is known at
home, but who is really A. l.. McDan-
io1 u,oc hnru in nooo fnr onnntv in
January, 1862, and left here with his
parents in 1866, and although only
four years old, while on the witness
stand he was able to relate many
things which occurred here at that
time, among them he told of seeing
fight at Terre Haute, between two
young men named Sutherlin end Car
one of them, C. W. SutherHn, of Dh-
Wis City, who says he well remembers
the big fight his opponent being Da-
vid Carroll, and Mr. Sutherlin finally
won out by getting CarrolPs thumb
in his mouth and holding on like "a
bull dog. Mr.. Macdonald also told
Of seeing the Indians IN this country,
sugar water from the hard maple
trees in the timber, and of seeing the
Indian boys shooting the birds with
their bows and arrows. Although
separated for SO many years the two
brothers and their sister did not re-
side SO very far apart, but had lost
ali track of each other. After hearing
the evidence Judge Maxwell entered
an order that the two brothers and
their sister, Mrs. Capps, be deHlafsa
legal heirs and entitled to one-fifth
Of the estate of their uncle. One
sister OF Larkin Mcdaniel. who mar
ried man by the name of Summers,
or any of her family, have not yet
Mr.. "A. T. Weldon, is still in hopes
that they will finally be located and
receive their. share of the estate.

SUGAR SHORTAGE WILL BE
BRIEF.
Relief to Come Within Next Thirty
Days Through New Crop.

While the sugar shortage is gener-
al throughout the country and Amer
lea is shipping thirty-four times as
much to Great Britain and France as
in normal times nevertheless the
present pinch is temporary, accord,
out that the new supply OF western
beet sugar and also the Cuban sugar
will begin reaching market in less
than a month and will provide an
adequate supply.
Wholesalers declare there is no in
ducement to hoard sugar inasmuch as
the government has fixed both whole
sale and retail prices and vii, not
permit a retailer to make p profit OF
more than 25 cents per, hundred
pounds and wholesalers can not
charge more than $7.95 per hundred
pounds.
It is generally charged that if the
government has not enacted a law to
control the price of sugar. it would
now be retailing for as high as 20
cents per pound
Export figures show that sugar ex-
ports from the United States increas.
ed from 100000 pounds in 1914
to 1855, 100000 in 1916. In 1917
the Increase in sugar exports from
this country will far exceed those OF
1916 it is reported.
Great Britain formerly secured su..
gar from Germany and Austria and
France produced her own sugar. Now
both countries are supplied from the
United States.
A new beet sugar factory has just
been completed at Mason City. Iowa,
and has started to operate. When 1t
gets fully underway it will have big
output. The beet sugar factory at
Waverly, built few years ago is not
now in operation,
