A FEW MILLIONS Comprise Estate Left by George Price of Montana Who Died Recently. WAS A BROTHER Os Grandma Runyon—Adams County Heirs in Line for the Estate. "A few millions of dcl’ars" is the H sum total of the estate rsid to be left 11 by Geprge Price, a Montana bachelor, j who recently died, and among his diHrec t heirs are many Adams county I people, the descendents of "Grandma 11 Price Runyon, formerly cf near Linn I' Grove, a pioneer of this city now deceased, who was a sister of Mr Price. | An attorney of this city is now in Montana looikng afier the interests of the Il Runyon heirs trim this county, and lit is thought that they will be given | ; a big slice of this magnificent fortune. I Developments are being eagerly awaitI j ed. The children of the late “GrandI ma” Runy.on, v.ho would be in direct II line of inheritance, are David Runyon j of Linn Grove; J. W. Runyon, of east I of Berne, father of Eugene Runyon of ■ this city: Noah Runyon of Linn Grove, I i and Henry Runyon of near St. Paris, I OI)io; besides the children of several j of their deceased brothers and sisters, j A clue to the fortune was gotten recently by David Runyon, who noticed I a card in the Muncie Star, inserted \ by the administator of the Price esI tate, asking for information as to the heirs residing in the east. Mr. David Runyon immediately took up the mat- ; ter and it was found that Mr. Price was the long unheard-of brother of his | mother. Tn the early days, Mrs. Price I left his Ohio home and west west, loI eating in Montana, and son had passed I beyond knowledge of his relatives here, as no communication was established between himself and them. The first knowledge as to his whereabouts or death was in the newspaper notice asking for knowledge of heirs. His fortune grew' from mining and land interests in Montana. — ( DECATUR’S PART In Fight Against “White Plague” a Noble One — . Sold 6.429 Seals for < RED CROSS SOCIETY Tri-Kappas to be Complimented for Pushing the Great Work. Decatur contributed its mite toward : assisting the Ame'lcan Red Cross soI ciety to cary on its organized fight j against the nation’s deadliest peril—the great white plague—through the purchase of Christmas seals. Through the agency of the Tri-Kap-ra sorority, of which Miss Pansy Bell is president, 6,429 seals were disposed of 'n this city, which amounted io $■’4.29. The sorority, according to the general custom, was allowed ten per i cent of this, ci $6.42, the remainder i going directly to the Red Cross fund, i The sorority made an active campaign and nil members worked hard, with the assistance o f the business men, schools, lodges and clubs, and certainily did credit in unholding the city’s reputation for enterprise Hartford City sold but 7,530 seals Seals were sold all over the United States and in some cities the numbers purchased ran up into the millions. The money thus obtained will be the means of saving the lives of many afflicted persons who otherwise would have no means of fighting against the disease which left unencountcred, works its ravages in short order. o— —- PEED QUAIL AND PHEASANTS. State Ready to Reimburse Those Who Help Feed the Birds. A letter from the state game warden states that the state fish and game department stand ready to reminburse farmers residing on the various game preserves of the state who will prepare and place out food for the benefit of the quails and Hungarian pheasants. Reasonable bills covering the expense of such service will be paid by the state department according to the letter received. Soon the commissioner will send ■0 - J A

out another letter asking for information regarding the increase of the Hungarian pheasants in the state. It is known that the birds have multiplied to a great extent during the three years in which they have been placed on various game preserves. i Approximately 9,000 pairs of the birds have been set free in Indiana during the last three years. The game preserves of the state now number approximately 2,000,000 acres. The commissioner said he had reports of an abundance of quail and pheasarits and if properly protected the supply next year should be enormous. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS.
