ESTATE IN LINN COUNTY Tale of Marrlajte, Pcalh and Di vorce, Interwoven With Wander ing of Old Man In Mining Camp, Reads Like XoveL ALBANY. Or- Sept. il. (Social. Left orphans by the death of their parents when they were babies and reared by friends and relatives. Earl LaGrande Harris and Nettle Mabel Harris, of Auburn. Cal., today received almost $2000 each from a relative they never knew. The estate of Madore Cushman was settled In the Probate Court of Linn County today, and these two young people were the only living heirs of a grandfather of whom they had never heard until his estate was In process of administration. Back of the unex pected legacy is a story of marrlaee, death and divorce, all Interwoven with the romantic wanderings of an old man through the mining camps of Colorado and Wyoming, his whereabouts abso lutely unknown to the family he left behind In the East. Madore Cushman died April 7. 190S. at the home of his nephew. D. J. Cush man. a prominent real estate man of Brownsville. He left an estate worth about 14500. His estate needed atten tion, and D. J. Cushman was appointed administrator. It was supposed at that time that his brothers and sisters were his only relatives, and it was so stated In the petition filed In the Probate Court here. It was known that he had been married In Illinois, that his wife was divorced and that their only daughter married and gave birth to a son. but It was thought that both mother and boy died about the same time. Story of Romance tncovcred. But during the past year Attorney Amor A. Tusslng. of Brownsville, who was handling the estate, endeavored to get proofs of the death of Cushman's only daughter and her child, and re cently unearthed the whole story of the old man's life and his true heirs. Cushman was married in Iowa, Jan uary . 1SS0. and lived for three years .t Fenton. Whiteside County, Illinois. Differences arose between him and his wife and they parted, the baby girl re maining with her mother. Disap pointed with his married life, Cush man decided to try his luck In the un known West, and Joined the famous rush to Pike's Peak. For many years he worked In different mining camps in Colorado, sometimes striking the hidden wealth and then spending It In a search for more. In the 60s he founded the town of Teller, In Grand County. Colorado, and his deed to the townsite was the first one "recorded in Grand County, being on page 1. volume 1 of the deed records of that county. This town Is now only an abandoned mining camp, while another town of Teller has sprung up in Mineral County. Cushman finally abandoned mining and settled on a big ranch near En campment, Wyo. There he lived for many years. In the Fall of 1907, broken down with old age, he sold his ranch for $8000 and came to Browns ville to live near bis brothers and their children.

Later she moved to Cali fornia and there her daughter. Nettle Cushman. grew to womanhood and married David Harris. They lived at You Bet. Nevada County. California, and had two children, a boy and a girl. Mrs. Harris died when the girl was a very small baby, and the boy was sent back to Iowa to live with relatives, while the girl was reared in the family of James Bottomley. at You Bet. Harris died In Alaska three or four years later, and the two waiis were left entirely to the care of friends. When the administration of Madore Cushman's estate was first begun, the existence of these two children was un known, but when It was ascertained they were alive it was at once discov ered that they would receive all of their unknown grandfather's estate. Earl L. Harris, the boy. Is now 2S years old. and his sister. Nettle Mabel Harris, is 2a. Both live at Auburn. Cal.

EASY, ECONOMICAL CURE BY 2 SETS OF CUTICURA "Three years ago small pimples ap peared on both of my lower limbs. I scraicnea mera untu tbe blood would flow as fromawound. The itching would be more severe towards evening and at bed time. I went to one of the best doctors in my vicinity who gave me a pre scription. This would stop the itching for a day or so but after wards it would be still worse. After using several dollars' worth of this salve I tried several other rem edies but to no avail. The neighbors advised using sulphur and lard but it was all fruitless. " A few months afterwards I saw an advertisement in a newspaper of the Cuticura Remedies. I at once sent off for some Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Oint ment and Cuticura Resolvent Pills, but thinking they would be no better than the other remedies. But to my sur prise after the first order was used the scales disappeared and the itching ceased and after using another order of the Cuticura Remedies I was completely cured, after suffering for nearly two years.

CONVICTION IS REVERSED Lower Court Erred In Permitting Testimony Which Had Only In direct Bearing on Crime for Which Man Was Tried. SALEM, Or., Sept 21. (Special.) The Supreme Court today handed down an opinion, written by Chief Justice Moore, reversing the case of the state vs. A. J. Hembree. This Is the notorious Tillamook County murder case. In which the de fendant, Hembree,' was accused of kill Ins; hia wife and daughter and then burning the bodies to destroy the evi dence of his crime. .Hembree, It will be remembered, was 'first convicted of manslaughter for killing his daughter. After serving one year of an indeter minate sentence, Hembree was par doned by Governor Chamberlain. Re turning to Tillamook County he was rearrested, charged with murdering his wife, and upon the trial of the case at Dallas, In Polk County, Judge Burnett presiding, the defendant waa found guilty of murder in the first degree, and sentenced to be hanged. In his opinion Chief Justice Moore holds that "proof of the commission of other offenses having no connection with the crime for which a defendant is on trial, is irrelevant and inad missible." The principal ground on which the case is reversed was the error of the lower court in admitting the testi mony of M. S. Larsen, the Tillamook hotelkeeper. From the testimony of ,thts witness the Jury was led to Infer 'that Hembree had been guilty of Im proper conduct with his daughter, rrom which more lnterences were drawn, finally resulting In a motive for the crime. In the case of Ira E. Bigelow vs. Co lumbia Gold Mining Company, a peti tion for rehearing was denied. James Simpson and Anna E. Simpson vs. G. M. Harrah, motion for rehearing denied.

The oldest residents fail to recall the burial ol a white man at or anywhere near this place, in the history of the state, and the opinion seems to prevail that the man was either the victim of murderers and was buried to this great depth In an effort to conceal the crime or that he was killed by Indians and that friends buried him so deep for the purpose of preventing his body from falling Into the hands of the In dians or becoming a feast for the dpi J?
