Rich Mans Estate to Corydon.

A court order signed by Judge P.
c. Winter directs the administrator
OF the estate of Alden Walden to
turn over to the town of COrydon
the sum Of $35 900 to be used for
the extension of the waterworks
system, according to the Corydon
Times-Republican.
The report. of the administrator,
E, E. Poster, shows that there is
about fifteen thousand remaining in
the estate after the aforesaid
S35, 900 has been turned over to the
town treasurer Out of this monu-
ment will be erected to the memory
of Mr.. Walden and the administrator
and his attorney will be paid. The
estate will then likely be closed up
and whatever remains will be turned
over to the town.
The park site and the reservoir
site were bought by the executor and
the administrator with rare fore
sight, as the land has EXCHANGED IN
value at least $50 an acre since that
time. .
Without the assistance we have
received from this estate, we fail
to see how the town of Corydon
could have made the many improve
ments that have been made in recent
years, says the Times-Republican.

-Unhappiness.

New London, July IA lock of
blonde hair found in an envelope in
the pocket of Bernard B. Geissler, the
De Cordova, then committed suicide,
may aid materially in solving the
mystery that at present surrounds the
sIual tragedy at North Stonington on
Tuesday.
This strand of hair which is the
same color as that of the dead woman
has not yet been proven as belonging
to Mrs. DeCorva but from the fact
that other things seem to confirm the
infatuation of the chauffeur for his
employers wife it seems more than
probable that in some way he had
OBJ tanned the strand. On the envelope
in which he carried it was subscribed,
I'm case of accident Or death place
this under my pillow
Mrs. Geissler, who was prostrated
by the news of the shooting, denied
any stories that she and her husband
lived together unhappily. She assert
ed that they had been married. three
years and had lived very happily.
She declared that as far as she knew
her husband had no feeling for Mrs.
DeCordova except of respect. which
was due his employer. She denied
absolutely the report that she and her
husband had lived apart for several
months, and also refuted the state
ment that she had discussed the situa-
tion recently with Mrs. DeCordova.
