$100,000 In Sight; Pauper Dies

Inmate of Freeport Poorhouse Succumbs on Verge of Wealth

After twenty years in the county poor house at Freeport, Johnnie Jenks, an 
aged Irishman, died when a fortune of $100,000 recently willed to him was 
about to be turned over. Jenks proved to be the nearest relative to Mrs. Lucy 
Millets, who died several months ago in San Francisco and left him her entire 
estate. It was with difficulty that Jenks was found by California attorneys. 
The preliminary steps in the transfer of the property had been taken when 
Jenks died.
