Parents Quarrel and Part, Leav ing Son in the Care of His Grandfather. GRAYLING, MICH, Dec. 13 — From poverty and the obscurity of a little country town to a fortune of $2,000,000 is, in a sentence, the Alad din-like story of 21-year-old Elvin Leschappelle, of Grayling. Within a few weeks the young man will enter Into his share of the estate left by his father, a millionaire lumberman of Northern Wisconsin. The boy has been living with his grandfather, Delbert Taylor, since he was a child. His mother was Mary Taylor and she was married about 22 years ago to Joseph Leschappelle. The young Frenchman was hot-tem pered and they quarreled within a month of their w’edding day. He left Grayling at night in a rage and never returned. Mother Weds Again. After the birth of her son the young mother felt called upon to support herself, since her father was poor. She secured a divorce from Leschappelle, and, intrusting Elvin to her father, left Grayling. She is married again, has reared another family and resides in Wisconsin. Her former husband was an ex perienced woodsman and when he left here went to an obscure lumber camp near the northern boundaries of Wisconsin. He rose through the successive grades of lumberjack and foreman to timber cruiser and then to speculator in timber lands. He bought large tracts of heavily timbered country when pine was cheap and did not sell until years later, when it had become scarce and dear. He also married again and one son was born to the second marriage. Investigates Reoort. The millionaire died recently and word eventually reached Grayling that Elvin was heir to a part of his father's estate. His grandfather in vestigated the report somewhat, but was too poor to establish legally El- vin’s claim. The boy’s chances to share in the fortune were dwindling when R. Hanson, Grayling’s foremost citizen and himself a millionaire lum berman. heard the rumor and im mediately interested himself for El vin. 1 He took the boy to Detroit and se cured a competent attorney. Inves tigations were prosecuted in Wiscon sin and Elvln’s relationship to the founder of the Leschappelle fortune was conclusively proved. As a result the estate is being wound up and Elvin will share equally In the $4,- 000,000 estate with the half-brother he has never seen. Girls Say Aunt Uses Hot Iron on Tongues KANSAS CITY, MO.
