out In court. The stnto land hoard
today employed XorMad & Hesse
lawyen of Astoria, to assist Dis
trict Attorney Dienenweber of

Tlie case Is unusual. The fos
ter parents of Mrs. Brix arc said
to live near Salem, but their
names could not be ascertained
hero today. To them It was her de
sire to leave some of her estate.
for they raised her from infancy
to womanhood. Also she desired to
leave $25,000 to a Memorial
Lutheran church at Astoria. But
she left no will and the church
has been informed that It has no
clai'i on the estate. The foster
parents recognize that I hey have
no claim and are not, it appears,
seeking any of it.
The mother In Germany is said
to havp discarded the child soon
after birth and given her to a

who became the foster parents.
