WHITE'S IDENTITY FIXED.

Ijlew York Court Sends a Special Commissioner to Washington. Port Townsend, Wash., May 22.—The death and identity of Ansel White, the lost heir to the $4,000,000 estate, has been fully established by a special court commission sent to this coast by the probate court of Utica, 'N» Y. It appears a period of fifty years elapsed from the time White hurridly left his home in company with another man’s wife until his heirs learned of,his death near Port Angeles. White and the woman went to Illinois, where they separated and he went out west to California and ultimately settled on a lonely ranch in the Olympic mountains, where thirty years later he died. His will bequeathing all his worldly possessions to Preston M. Troy is pronounced worthless so far as it applies to the eastern estate.
