FORTUNE COMES TO
PENNILESS TRAMP
STRANGE STORY OP W.GROW, FOR-
MERLY OF DES MOINES.
Sick and Hungry, Arrives at
Bemidji Where Letter I Found Dis
closing His IdentityRelatives Are
Notified and the Wanderer Taken
Home to Receive $18,000.
Special to The Journal.
Cass Lake, Minn., Dec. 21.From a common
lumberjack and wanderer on the face of the
earth, penniless, sick, apparently without a rela
tive or friend, and thrown upon the mercy of
strangers, to the sudden acquirement of a for
tune amounting to $13,000 is the story of Wil
liam Grow, a common workman who has been
at- Bemidji for several dajs.
Last Friday a -worn-out individual, clad in
thin gaiments and with only a pair of over
shoes on his feet, walked Into the saloon owned
by F. E Dudley at Bemidji, and, accosting the
propiletor, told him a story of hardship that at
once touched the heart of Dudley. Grow, who is
60 years of age, had walked to Bemidji from
Park Rapids, a distance of fifty miles, and had
tasted food but once on the trip. One of his
feet was frozen, he was ill and in a pitiable
condition.
Dudley took the man to a bed and sent for
Dr. W. R. Monison. The clothes of the sick
man weie searched and in one of his pocketB
was found a letter from Des Moines, wiltten by
a sister The letter contained a request for
the whereabouts of Grow, and asked that if
the letter was obtained by the William Grow
wanted he should write at once to the sister. The
letter was wiitten In guarded language, not
disclosing any particular reason foi ascertaining
the wheieabouts of the brother.
Dr Morrison wrote to the sister. The reply
came in a telegram, requesting that everj thing
possible be done for the sick man, and stating
that a person would go to Bemidji and look
after him. In the meantime Grow had rapidly
recovered, his condition having been caused by
his long exposure and other hardships.
Monday evening D. Grow, a physician of
Des Moines, arrived at Beuidj and, after see
ing the man, said he was his brother. He said
that for several yeais diligent search had been
made to find him, and that there was a sum
Of $18,000 de *site in a bank at Des Moines
for him, that being his share of an estate left
by a wealthy relative to William and P. D.
Grow and their sister. William Grow was soon
strong enough to make the trip to Des Moines,
and aftei he had been fitted out with a new
suit of clothes and otherwise transformed, he
left with his, brotner foi the old home Before
leaving the brothers warmly thanked Dudley and
Dr Morrison for their kindness.
From the Des Moines physician it was learned
that Grow had left home at an early age, and
had been tiamping about the oountiy, buffeted
from pillar to post and living the life of a man
without means or purpose in life. It was by
the meiest accident that his name was seen in
a paper which led to the meeting of the two
brothers
