A Carthage, III., Laborer Said to Have
Acquired a Fabulous Fortune.
Carthage, Ill,, Jan. 15.—[Special]—
Cicero Rolls, a laboring man of’this
city, has received advices from a rev
ives in Newark, N S., that he is an heir
to an estate of $6,000,000, consisting of
valuable lands in the Mohawk Yallev,
of New York. Rolls is reticent about
the matter. It seems that in the early
days the Rolls family of New York
were wealthy, but reverses came to
them, and the personal property was
divided. John Rolls got an old fash
ioned looking f lass for his part, and
kept it in his family for many years. It
finally passed into the hands of his son
last Christmas. The old looking glass
was broken, and in the back was found
a deed from the Indians to the Rolls
family for a large tract of land in the
Mohawk Valley.
