John Hanley, aged 25 years, resid-
ing with his parents at Pennsylvania
and Twenty sixth avenues N, was
drowned Sunday afternoon as the
result of the boat in which he was
rowing OH Lake Crystal upsetting.
Hanley and several companions had
been enjoying themselves at the lake
during the early part of the afternoon.
He left the other young men at the
bathhouse and started alone in the
boat for the boat house. He had
rowed only about hundred yards
when the boat upset and he was
thrown into the water. He was I'LL
able to swim and sank at once. The
companions Of the unfortunate young
man fastened to his rescue, but as
the body did not appear on the sur
face, search was made for it by div
ing. In that way it was finally found
and recovered. His funeral was held
on Tuesday morning from Ascension
church.
Captain George Sinclair Of the Min
neapolis police department may soon
be given the title and dignity of a
Scotch earl. This honor, which is so
eagerly sought after in British society
circles, seems as naught to the Mime
apolis detective, who says he would
as soon be good detective as any earl
that ever sat in the British parlia-
ment. Some few weeks ago it was
announced that Mr.. Sinclair had fall
en- heir to Scotch fortune. There is
no positive legal proof as yet whether
or not the detective is the rightful
heir to the vast estate, but it has re-
Gently come to light that if he should
be the rightful heir he would receive
with the immense fortune an earldom
under the British crown. The for
tune and title in Scotland which are
now unclaimed were the property of
one Captain Sinclair who died about
eighty years ago. The owner Of the
estate left will stating that the prop
erty should be held in trust for eighty
years and then given over to the
rightful heir. By all present indica-
lions, Captain Sinclair, of Ninneapo-
lis, is that rightful heir, or one of
them.
