Ragged Tramp Leaves a Fortune

It is not always those who are in rags that are in want. There recently died in Atlantic City, New Jersey, a man who had tramped north and south and east and west, all through the country, on crutches at times, and in rags, who bequeathed to a woman who took him into her house and cared for him $330,000. After he died it was learned that he had a mine which produced $500 a week, stock valued at $200,000, $60,000 cash, and the finest farm on the Wahoo River, in Nebraska, worth $50,000.
