OIL FIND
YOUNG LAD’S WINDFALL. VANCOUVER, November 21. Dugal Carmichael, an American soldier, settled in the Philippines when discharged after the Spanish-American War. He married a Filipino woman, and died 10 years ago, making no disposition with regard to several hundred acres of barren Oklahoma, land which he had bought for a, “song” a quarter of a century ago. This year his prairie estate was found to contain a vast store of oil, and buyers paid £1,400,,000 into Court until the owner could be found. Dugal Carmichael’s son, Gregorio Velasquez Carmichael, aged 13, has just been discovered, in a Philippine village, remote from civilisation, by an attorney, Mr Curran, who “combed” the wild interior until he found the boy. Gregorio will be brought to America, and forced to take the money which he never knew existed.
