HEIR OF HIS HEIRS
AUSTRIAN TO REGAIN GIFT FARM. VIENNA, October 7. The strange case of a man who is about to be officially declared the heir of his heirs is discussed in the Viennese Press today. He is Herr Leopold Zichtl, who many years ago legally made over his small farm at St. Polten near Vienna, to his three sons, with whom he continued to live. Soon after the War broke out his sons, 18, 21 and 24 years old respectively, went off to fight- Nane returned. One fell in action in Volhynia, another was taken prisoner on the Russian front, d after a first communication never any news home again; the last was captured by the Italians in 1918, and of him also no tidings ever reached his family or friends. Herr Zichtl has had to accept charitv pending the time when he could claim official certification that his sons 're to be presumed dead. This .s now about to be given, so that he may m Js old age re-enter into possession ot his former property.
