HUGE FORTUNE GOES
TO EX-MANICURIST
Heiress of Man Who Found
Nuggets in Canada.

Miami Beach, FLA pretty Chi
cago girl, who once earned a scanty
wage as manicurist, is now mis-
tress of millions.
But it was death that brought her
the fortune, the death of her elderly
husband, Tony Oklund. a Russian
immigrant who found gold in Cam
ada. Oklund died here recently.
Oklund, Russian emigrant labor
er, lost his job in Chicago. He was
with his partner in canoe that
tipped over in the rapids at PORT
Huron, Ont, 800 miles north of To
ronto. He came up dripping wet,
with a gold nugget the size of .
child's fist in his hand.
That was the discovery of Little
Long Lac gold mine, one of Canada s
richest producers. He laughed al
offers of a million for it.
Mistress of the Oklund fortunes is
the former Sylvia Czarnecki, thir
ty-two and blonde, whose widowed
mother lives in Chicago. She was
working as a manicurist in her sis
ter's Detroit beauty shop when Tony
came along and saw gold in hel
hair. He courted her for a year
largely with diamonds and sables.
To the Rev. Stephen A. Bubacaz
of old ST. Stephens Catholic church
Chicago, who married him to Syl
via on July Is, 1896. he gave thu
first nugget he found-the one thu
size of a child's fist.
Then he went back to Canada, re
tired as a miner, and built a huge
show estate overlooking Lake On
tario, where he entertained Friends
at breakfast that began with cham
payne.
He learned to write SO he coult
sign checks on his cash bank bal
ance, which ran, it was said, wei
over million.
The estate boasted a billiar'
room, bar, dens, porches and or
chards. He said it was a club an
turned down offers to join exclusiv
organizations.
He had been i'll in Florida 70
some time.

tai institution, killed her two BROTH
ers with. poison because, she told
police, the elder one was cruel to
her.
With all the cunning of her child
mind she persuaded Henry, twen-

Once when the boys complained
that their milk tasted funny" she
told them not to be foolish" and
slipped little of it herself. The

footprints in Cheese
Snare a GnawinR Thief

Minneapolis, MINI. in
vestigating grocery burglaries in
northeast Minneapolis noticed that
the burglar had taken nibbles of
cheese. The most recent was the
Matt Mlinar grocery, where the bur-
glar took one bite of each of seven
different kinds of cheese.
Detective Edward Ryan, who once
worked in a grocery, recalled that
cheese wrapped in vinegar-soaked
cloth preserves its shape. Each of
the seven bites was cut from the
cheese and wrapped up.
At the police station detectives
went into a huddle over the cheese
bites, made by set of teeth re-
markable for their regularity.
Suspicion finally led to Frank
Drozdik, twenty-one years old, who
was on probation. Some time be-
fore he had been picked up as a
burglary suspect.
Two policemen, taking the cheese
with them, went to the youths home
and matched his teeth marks I'd the
seven bites. The fit, they said, was
perfect in each instance.
I've read about such things in
detective magazines, but | never be-
lieved it," Drozdik blurted. Then
he admitted prowling the Mlinar
! grocery and half dozen others
as well as several filling station
robberies and an automobile theft.
Near his home the detectives
found a quantity Of stolen gum. gro
ceries and some articles common te
filling stations.

Bear Really Goes
Over The Mountain

The bear really went over the
mountain from Ashe into Wilkes
county last week end.
After creating right much excite
ment in the Stages Greek and Fig
communiti@ the previous week end,
several citizens of those sections
were of the opinion that the large
black bear that they had trailed for
some distance, had returned to the
Whitetop, but instead it evidently
came on across the county from the
Treetops, by West Jefferson and on
over to Glendale Springs and thence
down the mountain into Wilkes
county.
His. tracksaw were seen in a corn
field on the farm Of r. A. McNeill,
located on the southside of Negro
mountain and then at Glendale
Springs right back of the hotel. Par
ties searching for the animal also
said it crossed highway number II
twice near the intersection of the
Parkway, and the star route mai
carrier reported that the same
tracks had been found in Wilke:
county near the bottom of thu
mountain.

Farm Questions
And Answers
QUESTION: When should lambs
be removed from the eve flock?

QUESTION: When should lambs
be removed from the eve flock?
ANSWER: All lambs, whether
they are to be sold or not, should be
taken from their dams by July
first They should then be placed
on the best pasture available. If
the pasture is not good, grain may
be supplied for about two or three
weeks to get them started off. AS
a usual thing, however, either soy
beans or sudan grass will be avail
able and will furnish nutritious and
summer. The ewes should be put on
short pasture for week or ten days
as an aid in checking the milk flow.
The ewes should also be examined
every two or three days and MIXED
if necessary.
