by that paper the Minneapolis Journal
announces it's belief that the fortune OF
$3500,000 said to have been left to Mrs.
Hettie ]. Gates by her uncle In Corn
wall, Eng, is a myth. The announce
ment that Mrs. Gates had inherited the
fortune was made in July, 1898, and was
confirmed by Mrs. Gates who is the wife
of Minneapolis barber When the an
nouncement of the legacy was first made
the Gates family was living very mod
estly on the North side. Soon after the
matter was made public, however, the
family changed its mode of life and
more elaborate menage was established
in a more preteEtious house on Hennepin
avenue, just beyond Thirty-first street.
Mrs. Gates, a heiress TO vast fortune,
had unlimited credit. This has, it is said,
been heavily drawn upon, and of late
tradesmen and others have been pressing
for payment. The Journal asserts that
Joseph Richards, the uncle from whom
1t was said the fortune came, was a poor
man, and that even had he left large
estate it would have gone to his surviving
brother, Robert Richards, as there was
no will
