'' Spec!! Plptfh t The, Journal. Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, June Si. To. be the beneficiary 'ot,,. a bequest of three Quarters of a fortune of $,000,00i from a sweetheart of her youth seems to be the good luck that has overtaken Mrs. Dolly Baker, who lives ori a small ranch a few miles north of Coeur d'Alene. , The bequest was made" by1" Arthur B. Travis, a cattle king; of Australia. Mrs. Baker has Just returned from Helena, Mont., where she went to meet R. J. Fillmore, a New York lawyer, who has the settlement of the Travis- estate In charge.

Grant at Helena in 1890 she was one of the belrs tnat he was looking for. f The lawyer had learned of her loca tion from her brother at Seattle; who had read of his quest In a newspaper and had notified him where his sister was located. At the time of receiving the telegram Mrs. Baker had no Idea who her benefactor could be, and all was a complete mystery to her. Enraged la Cattle Business. 1 The attorney stated that Arthur B. Travis, formerly a cattleman in Mon tana, had left the United States 20 years ago and had gone to Australia, where he engaged in the cattle business and amassed a fortune of : $7,000,000.

Fill more, the attorney, has gone to Aus trails. He stated that he thought he should have no trouble in having the authorities accept Mrs. Baker as the rightful heir.
