|NHER|TS FORTUNE Of
FATHER WHO At BIRTH
WISHED HIM KILLED

To have inherited the fortune of his
father who asked that he be destroyed
at birth, is the fate of Reginal Flake,
the sole beneficiary of the estate Of
MASH Tanner.
The illegitimate son of the Arab
fought for his rights in the courts OF
the northern part of the state, and op-
posing him were the brothers of the
dead ifan who claimed they were heirs
to the property valued at 100000.
/. The matter has been pending in the
north in the court of Apache county
during the term of office of Judge
Crosby and later before Judge Gibbons.
By stipulation the matter came up in
Navajo county on Saturday, Judge Ly-
man presiding.
According to the story told by old
time residents of Snowflake some years
ago an Arab peddler came through that
section accompanied by Syrian wom-
an. To them some eighteen years ago
a child was born and the welcome Civ
en- the little stranger was a request 10
the attending physician to put him i'll
the fire that he might be out of the
way. The refusal led to the doctors
finding a,<0me for the infant who ever
since has mad the kind treatment and
care of a son from Mrs. Roberta Flake
