Death Reveals $l26,O0O Estate
OF City Lodging House Guest

When Peter Vidovitch, one Of the
comparatively few guests that the
Municipal Lodging House has had since
prosperity bloomed in the land, died
yesterday in Bellevue Hospital, it was
discovered that he left an estate val
ued at about $126, 900. nearly half OF
which he carried on his person in the
shape Of Liberty bonds, currency and
jewelry. Relatives living in Austria
will inherit his wealth.
Peter made his stake in Alaska by
the hardest kind of toll and the rigid
thrift that is the heritage Of the Cen
trail European peasant, il the evidence
OF calioused hands and frugal habits is
OF any weight. Either he had set a fixed
sum as his goal or the news that travel
routes to the homeland were open again
made him uneasy IN the land where he
gained his wealth.
Whatever the reason, Peter Vido-
witch put his affairs in order in Alaska
and went out with the ice, or soon AZ
