The location ot tho two up poeed bona ot tho hkte John O'Connor, tho deedinc of O'Connor"!, real estate In H&sUnes and Adams county to a Cana dian hnd an open break between at .torrieya who have been looking uj O'Connor's pact were among the sen&. tlonal development today In the battle over- he. 10D,0M O'Connor eatate, Aa (he atory unfolds It appears that the man who -waa known here as O'Con nor had two other names, lie was' born 13rady. Ho must have been adopted by. a. man manod, Oleon whose name he as sumed and he took the name O'Connor on coming to llastlngis. The late maneuvers are as stranse as the career of O'Connor Itself, but dlf' crent events since O'Connor died, when considered, together suggest a connected account of the Hastings man of mystery Which Is full ot romance, adventure and possibly crime. Most significant of' all la the legal fight fdr the .man's thousands Is the filing of the deed of transfer' to all O'Connor's real estate in Adams county, Including thiee ' business blocks in Haatlnga and the filing of a revocation of a power ot attorney given some weeks ago by the supposed sons to 'Nelson 11. Tunnycllff, a New York attorney, and John T. Cul avln, an Omaha real estate broker and old time friend of O'Connor. The filing of th& deed discloses the Bona' names and location and the revocation of the power of attorney previously given ap parently eliminates Tunnycllff and Cul- uvlrvfrom this branch of the case. Tiro Sous fn Canada. The conveyance of the O'Connor real estate Is made by John Robert Olson and "Rudolph OIsoa and their wives, ot Bel kirk, Manitoba, to Angus O. McLeod, also of Manitoba, That the' two Olsons are the nien whom Tunnyclift referred to, but did hot najne when be said here some .weeka ago. that he would produce the two yons ot O'Connor is Indicated by the culture of. the proceedings. This deed and the revocation of the jKiwer ot attorney -were filed by a man supposed to be y, E. Mcuray, an attorney Si BU Saul. Minn.' With the revocation ot Tunnycllff's and Culavln'a power ot attorney, la the appointment of Andrew M. Eklund ot Winnipeg with full powers ot attorney to represent the Olsons. Mr, Mcdruy with two other men whose identity was not dlsclosod ar rived In, Hastings several days ago and devoted much time to looking over files relative to tho- O'Connor estate. It is understood from inquiries which He made here that Mr. Med ray Is following' up the Investigation begun by Tunnycllff, who waa the first to find tho two Bona. Adoption by Olsuu. Tho tiling' of the deed by tho Olsons suggests that the adoption of O'Connor, or Brady, was by a man named Olson, and that O'Connor was married under the name ot Olson. This was one of the links in the story whloh Tunnycllff refused to divulge. 'O'Connor was a cob bler, and it seems that the adoption may have been in the nature ot an ap prenticeship and that Olaon taught htm his trade. Enough of O'Connor's career in the northwest was told to Indicate In con nection with the: photographs displayed by Tunnycllff that O'Connor was closely associated with Indians in tho northern states or Canada. Hastings people re call that O'Connor often talked of Indians. Tho sons' pictures exhibited by Tun nycllff show unmistakable Indian fea tures. One might assume if tho pic tures are really of O'Connor's sons that hi wlfo was a squaw. No ovldence has been divulged as to tho nature of any crime which O'Connor may have committed, but that he changed hie name probably for somo grave reason Is evident both from Tun- nycllff's story and from the deeds filed today. Thero Is nothing1 In the papers to show what relationship they might have bomo to O'Connor, but their entry into the Notes from Beatrice and Gage County BEATRICE. Neb., Jon. 2. (Special.) Guy B.

Schultze a well known and respected Stanton county farmer, was hit by tho 6:33 o'clock passenger as it was pulling into town several blocks rast of tho depot. Tho engine hit the wagon as it was leaving the track and splintered it into small bits. Mr. Schultzo was thrown to tho ground and tho 'horBeM ran away. Mr. Schultzo says ho heard not a sound before crossing and that tho train did not whistle. Ills injuries were slight Key to tho Situation Beo Advertising; High school and friends was held in case coincides so accurately with Tun- the Commercial club rooms Thursday nycllff's story that they are supposed to bo the men whom the New York lawyer promised to produce as the sons of O'Connor. The filing at these papers is expected to be followed shortly by other devel opments which will draw the curtain of obscurity still further from O'Connor's mysterious past. evening.
