Fortune
as
Result
Of
Wealthy
Brother's
Death
Joseph
Slaggard
of
this
city
is
richer
by
thousands
of
dollars
in
cash
as
well
as
valuable
real
estate
as
a
result
of
the
settlement
of
the
will
of
his
brother,
Morris
Slaggard,
who
died
some
three
months
ago
in
Detroit.
It
was
more
than
forty
years
ago
since
Mr.
Slaggard
had
seen
or
heard
of
his
brother.
They
had
lost
touch
with
each
other
entirely.
When
it
came
to
settling
the
estate,
there
was
considerable
difficulty
in
locating
the
local
man
who
had
been
last
heard
of
in
the
Yukon.
Finally,
through
the
medium
of
the
Koyal
Mounted
Police,
he
was
found
and
advised
of
his
windfall.
Mr.
Slaggard,
contrary
to
rumors,
said
this
morning
that
he
had
no
intention
of
leaving
Prince
Rupert
or
retiring,
from
his
taxi
and
confectionery
business
here.
