H-YEAR OLD GIRL GETS
FORTUNE OF $26,836
New York. Edna Dorothy Killlan
14 years old, has received a verdict
from a Jury in the circuit court of
Hudson county by which she receives
the estate of Dr. George C. Grund,
amounting to $26,836.35. The doctor
was 52 years old, and had been a
boarder in the home of the Kllllans
for 23 years. There was no will, and
no written contract as to the inheri
tance; merely the testimony of wit
nesses to confirm a verbal contract he
had made with the mother of the
young girl.
The fortunate girl Is the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Killlan. Kil
llan was formerly Water Reglstarer
of Hoboken. About three years ago
Grund, who had no relatives in the
country, said to Mrs. Killlan:
"If you care for me till I die or un
til you die as you have taken care
of me for years I will give what mon
ey I have to your daughter."
At the time It was thought Mrs. i tne DOy B forced to perform the

It was known that Grund had a little vlce Rather than face their parents

to telling the mother of what he! An tnnuiry opened by the minister
would do If she took care of him, haa resulted in orders being issued for

ment he had made.
He died a year and a half ago. and
much to the surprise of Hoboken
friends, when the public administra
tor took charge of the estate he found
it more than $26,000.
He had found relatives in Ger
many, to whom he was about to di
vide in accordance with the laws of
the state when the suit was brought
in behalf of Miss Killlan.
The jury heard the case and sus
tained the claim that Mrs. Killlan
and Grund had entered into a con
tract. His remaining in the house
until he died was taken as proof that
she had fulfilled her part of It, and
treated him kindly and cared for him
until death.

Mrs. Mulock's mother, after surviv
ing the horrors of the Khyber, was
murdered In the mutiny, together with
her step-father. Colonel Holmes, of

Of her three sons, one was killed
in India after going through the

DEER LEAPS THROUGH
WINDOW INTO STORE
Newburgh, N. Y. The bull in a
china shoo was outdone here by a
doe In a drug store. The deer, two
years old and weighing 150 pounds,
ran through the streets, leaped
through a plate glass window In the
store of Ennls pharmacy and then
through the plate glass mirror.
The animal retraced Its steps and
leaped out through the opening In
the window by which it came. Cut
and bleeding from a dozen wounds,
the doe crossed Broadway to a place
where Improvements were being
made. It leaped the boards In front
about five feet in height, and fell be
tween the Iron girders to the cellar,
12 feet below.
Dr. Wlllett Kidd, assistant chief
game protector, secured the animal
This deer Is presumably the one that
