Mrs. Countiss and her mother, Mrs. C.

Monday morning aud registered at' the

tho privilege of seeing Mrs. Countlss, but

Thomas V. Cannon and W. Frank Can

Water street, Chicago (brothers), are tho
claimants of the Heran eBtatee. They dls

Munchoff was running a merry-go-around
at a summer resort when Matle Cannon
njv he eloped one day and were married.
Mrs. Munchoff, mother of Mary Munchoff,
refuses to discuss the family affairs.
Old acquaintances of Matle Cannon were
much surprised when it was announced
hat Heran had left her his fortune, as
they did not know . she had ever met the
South African "diamond king," much less
had a love affair with him. For some
years the Cannons have lived in Chicago
and the head is understood to be ln the
syrup business. Joseph W. Munchoff, the
divorced husband, had the refreshment con
