The Romance of a Fortune

Tt is not often that a fortune of over £100,000 xoos a-bogying for an owner, but the police are busy making enquiries at present for a legatee to inherit shat sum which has been left to an ex-cabdriver of this city, named George Alderson Niwm. He has disappeared, and il is now thought that *Cast-iron George," which name he gained with a reputation for sticking to his work through all kinds of weather, is in a Junatic asylum in Sydney. A strange instance of the irony of Fate that the much-to-be-desired fortune should arrive too lute to be appreciated.
