neglect.

years. She was twice married. Her first husband's name was Rose(?) And he was killed at the walnut street crossing
of the New York Central Railroad nine years ago. Her second husband's name was HALL. He left her.
She is survived by three children, Viola and Pearl and an infant a day old; her mother, Mrs. Maria NINES, of Batavia;
her father, who is an inmate of Willard State Hospital, and one sister, Mrs. Lulu BROCKWAY of Buffalo.

LIVINGSTON
Crows Robbed Hen Hawk of a Fat Young Woodchuck
Mount Morris, July 13 - While working in the field John O'MEARA witnessed a curious instance of the intelligence
of birds. A half grown woodchuck was stumping its way across the meadow when an immense hen hawk swooped down and
seized the scared rodent in her talons. Ascending to a height of about fifty feet, she dropped poor "chucky"
with a thud. The fall killed him.
Darting after her quarry the hawk seized him again and started for her nest in a distant pine. Scarcely had she
risen above the tree tops when a flock of crows pounced upon her and, worrying her with bill and claw, forced her
to drop the prize, which became the spoils of war for the black thieves.

LOCKPORT WOMAN WILL GET $15,000
Share of an Estate Left to her Husband, Who died in California
Lockport, July 13 - Mrs. John O'BRIEN, of Hawley street, the account of whose "husband's strange disappearance
some time ago, his death in a California insane asylum, and the prospect of his inheriting a fortune from California
relatives, which appeared in this correspondence some months ago, is to receive a share in the property of California
relatives. It is expected that her share will be at least $15,000.
John O'BRIEN was a laborer. While suffering from mental aberration he left home about two years ago and wandered
back to California, to his old home, where he had been raised by an elder sister, who had brought him up as an
infant after the death of their parents in Ireland. Mrs. Ella McLAUGHLIN was the elder sister. Her husband prospered,
leaving her a large estate near San Francisco. She was very fond of her brother John, as he was more like her own
child even than like a brother.
He came East when young, after some trouble with her family, and they had never seen each other afterwards. Mrs.
McLAUGHLIN died two months before O'BRIEN, then in a mentally unbalanced condition, arrived in California. He could
tell his name, but couldn't give his home address. The children of Mrs. McLAUGHLIN put their uncle in an asylum,
where he died. It seems Mrs. McLAUGHLIN had remembered him in her will. Thomas O'SULLIVAN, of California, a nephew
of Mrs. O'BRIEN, says the widow of John O'BRIEN is to receive property worth fully $15,000.
