CHANGE OF LUCK
RELIEF WORKER COMES INTO FORTUNE By Telegraph—Press Association CHRISTCHURCH, November 26. Luck has taken a favourable change for Duncan MacLennan, 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 October 22, stated that seven crofters of Ross-shire, and three immigrants to New Zealand, would share in a fortune of £102,000, left by a Manchester publisher, Mr Kenneth MacLennan, who died intestate in July. To Duncan MacLennan came a letter from a firm of solicitors advising him that he was entitled to a share in the estate. 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 13 .jars.
To-day, MacLennan could not be induced to speak of the change of last 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.”
