Nunc years airo a hermit-like
Irishman died near Sherwood,
in the Sand Pitt district, and the
old gentleman lTi no heirs o
far aa wa known, locally, The
estate was entered in probate,
and thereupon heirs commenced
to come to notice from all parts
of the cornnaHH. The nrooertv
left by the old man consisted of
real egtate and money in banks,
and the entire estate was, or is
now, worth at least $10,000,

Andrews reside in Pennsylvania.
and John McNulty lives in Ire
land. These three always kept
in touch with each other, and
fre'juently commented on the
fact that they had a relative in
Oregon They retained Baerley
& Hare to present their claims of
relationship and brought down
the family history to such a nice
ty that Judge Goodin has decided
that they are the true and proper
heirs to enjoy the legacy. His
decision was made Tuesday, and
unless a higher court reverses.
the three will share the $40,000
in property, share and share
alike. There were eight other
Claimants in Ireland; six in
Minnesota and North Dakota;
ar.n a number in Texas. Mc
Nultv was for many years a res
ident in Washington County, and
although he led an isolated life,
he was highly esteemed.
juuge uooain also decided an
other case wherein he removed
(!eo. Black as administrator of
the estate of R. L. Gate, who
died in this city a few years ago.
Grounds of removal were that a
true inventory had not been filed.
Doubtless, the fact that Black
was in the employ of the Haw
thorne estate, a large creditor of
Mr. Gate, had something to do
with the removal. Mrs. Laura
Gate, widow of deceased, was ap
pointed administratrix by th
court.
