FORTUNE FOR RELIEF WORKER
i WEALTHY UNCLE’S ESTATE “WILL HIDE IT WHEN HE GETS IT” LOST ONE FORTUNE ALREADY (By Telegraph—Press Association) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day. Luck has taken a favourable change for Mr Duncan MacLenan, of Christchurch, who, up till a short time ago, was a relief worker, but who, on Monday, will leave for England to receive his share of an estate of £102,000 left by his uncle, a Manchester publisher. A cable message from London on 22nd October stated that seven crofters of Rosshire and three immigrants; to New Zealand would share in a fortune of £102,000 left by the Manchester publisher, Kenneth MacLennan, who died intestate in July. To Mr Duncan MacLennan came a letter from a firm, of solicitors, advising him that he was entitled to a share in the estate. • Mr MacLennan is coming back to Christchurch and has made plans to . return early in the New Year. He is a married man and has been in New Zealand for thirteen years. To-day Mr MacLennan could not be induced to speak on the change in his fortune that has taken place in the past few months. “I prefer to wait until I return,” he said, “then I’ll have , a story to tell you. Just now I am \ not independent and I have only the ] vaguest details. When I get the money I think I will hide it for I’ve lost one fortune already.”
