Aged Man Spurns
$4,000 Fortune
No Profit if I Gain the Whole
World and Lose My Soul.

Omaha, Neb-, July "a, AMP
Just when friends of Daniel
Young, alias Gabe McElroy, were
persuaded that Young was pre-
pared to admit that he is the real
McElroy, Young crossed them
up and stuck to the story that he
is Daniel Young, not Gabe Noel
roy.
In so doing, he turns his back
on a fortune Of $4,000 which, it
is said, awaits him in Texas oil
lands.
Young, now IS years Of e,
was questioned by the AMP cor
respondent.
"Since everybody insists that
you are Gabe McElroy and have
conclusive proof, why don't you
admit it and accept the money!
he was asked.
Il do not want other people,
money" he replied, "and l would
not lose my identity for the
money"
but you could lose your
identity for $750,000, couldn't
iyouf''
What would it profit a man
if he gains the whole world and
loses his soul?" Young conutered.
He was formerly a local preacher.
The fortune in oil money which
awaits Young if he will admit
that he is Gabe McElroy accrued
from land left him by his dead
parents.
Forty years ago, after a shoot
ing scrape with a mob of white
men, Gabe McElroy fled from
home and was never heard of
again. However, the estate of
his parents was left to him and
his brothers and sister. Since no
proof of Gabe's death existed, his
portion of the estate could not be
disposed of without his consent.
In 1881, oil development COM
panies obtained a lease on Gabe
Nc Elroy's land and, in the
meantime, have been searching
for him in order to legalize the
lease and to turn over to him the
accrued returns since 1881 These
returns are said to amount to
$750.000. Since the lease under
which the company operates is
not valid without Gabe's sigma
.ture, the missing Gabe could
claim even more if he wished to
be cantankerous.
Young was located in a Kansas
City Jail by investigators for the
oil company and returned to Oma-
ha where he had lived for Is
years. He steadfastly denied that
he was Gabe McElroy until he
was confronted by relatives from
Tyler, Texas. He is then said to
have made the admission and to
have signed papers to that effect.
Arrangements were made to
take him to Texas by airplane to
clear up legal obstacles. But, at
the last moment, Young could not
be found. When he was located.
he had taken refuge in the city
Jail.
1t is said that he fears the tales
of fortune are all a trick to get
him back to Texas to answer for
the shooting 40 years ago.

Whether the authorities are con-
templating erecting more new
schools during the next two years,
I am not informed, but before au-
thOrizatiOn is granted to construct
additional buildings, It might be
well to take cOgnizance of a report
that the number of children in the
primary grades Of our free schools
is diminishing. If such a report is
correct and this condition prevails
for a few years, there may come a
time when the schools we now have

occurrence jIstifes at this time a
