HEIR TO $25,000,000 AT WORK
Colorada Man Continues Leather Carving Despite Big Share in California Estate.
Pueblo, Colo.--Although he has inherited one-eighth of an estate estimated at between $25,000,000 and $30,000,000, Alfred Burrows, thirty-five years old, a leather carver, is at work on his bench in a local saddlery shop as usual, and he intends to stay at this employment until he learns more definite news of the legacy.
Burrows has just returned from Los Angeles, where he attended a meeting of the heirs of the large estate of Mrs. Arcadia B. de Baker, who died in Santa Monica, Cal., September 15. Burrows expects to make his home in California when the affairs of the estate are finally settled.
At present Burrows resides with his wife at 918 South Union avenue. The estate consists principally of valuable ranches near Los Angeles. Don Juan, the great-grandfather of Burrows, was the friend of a Spanish admiral and inherited the enormous estate by virtue of a grant from the King of Spain.
