Rewards His Old Friend.

Ten minutes after making a will, in which he bequeathed all his earthly possessions, valued at $50,000, to his neighbor, a poor man who had befriended him, Gregory Grey, a picturesque character who lived near Laporte City for more than half a century, died, aged eighty.

When told by his physician that he could live but a short time, Grey made a will in which he bequeathed a 240 acre farm, much personal property and several town lots to his old friend.
