Storm Lake Tribune- An immense estate, valued up into
the millions, has recently fallen to heirs, a number of whom live
in Storm Lake, including W. A. Jones, Isaac Richards, C. W.
McCord and others. The estate includes business property in
Washington City, Philadelphia, and real estate in different
eastern and Southern states. Attorneys are at work looking up the
different heirs and trying to secure an adjustment of the
property. We trust that our Storm Lake people will be successful
in securing their full share of the estate.

Mrs. Alex Wells went to Clinton Tuesday, to attend to matters
concerning the disposal of her father's property.
Sac Sun- The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. L. Farly were
deeply grieved yesterday morning by the sad news of the death of
little Esther, the youngest of the two attractive daughters whose
presence has blessed that household. Only a brief warning was
given of the nearness of the death angel, for the little
one’s sickness was short. Pneumonia with alarming symptoms
developed Monday, but on Tuesday there seemed a little change for
the better, and no one was prepared Wednesday morning to hear
that Esther had died at midnight. She was an unusually beautiful
little child, with sweet and winning ways, and a circle of
friends much wider than the stricken household mourns her taking
away at the early age of three years and four months.

The home Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hartman, of Early, was blessed with a
little girl which was born to them March 12. Geo. says he feels
slighted because the event was not mentioned. Bless you, man,
since you hired yourself off to the land of the Earlyites how did
you expect us to know these things? We hope the little miss will
grow up to womanhood, and be an honor to her parents. The mother
is doing well, but George will hardly recover.
