C. E. Dyer's Will.
[Special to The Review.]
Minneapolis, Minn, July 20, 1897.
The will of Charles E. Dyer has been
filed for probate with the clerk of the pro-
bate court. The document is short and is
the handwriting of the testator. It ap-
points the widow and W. J. Dyer guard-
ians of the minor children and selects Jos-
iah^M. Anderson and Alice Dyer Smith as
executors. The petition filed with the will
places the value of the personal estate at
$45,000, but makes no mention of any real
estate.
By the terms of the will the widow is
left a third interest in the estate together
with the use of the household furniture,
library and pictures, which she is to divide
among the children when and how she
pleases. The sons and daughters to the
number of four are each left one-sixth of
the estate and the executors are left with
full power to dispose of it as they see fit,
and at such time as they please. The tes-
tator requests that the stockin the corpora-
tion of W. J. Dyer & Bro. be kept and the
money invested there, at least until the
minor children come of age, but even in
this the executors are allowed to exercise
their discretion.
Parsons Returns.
With tanned cheeks, sparkling eyes and
elastic step Charles H. Parsons, of Need-
ham fame, stepped foot on American soil
yesterday morning from a trip across the
seas. Mr. Parsons met an unwelcome vis-
itor in the shape of a hot wave upon his
arrival here which was not tarrying in
Europe during his stay there.
The "Braumuller" and Klondike
'' Orders coming -in every day " is the re-
port for the week at the Braumuller
factory. Asked by The Review if he would
not rather go out and gather gold by the
handful along the Klondike than wait here
in New York for it to come in more slowly
through the mail and otherwise, Otto Brau-
muller replied, ' ' New York is good enough
for me. The Braumuller piano is proving
to b% as good as a Klondike find. It is not
necessary to melt snow and ice to get
results, either. Our representatives tell
us in effect that our claims are secure, the
gold found is of coining value and every
city contains a rich vein."
