HEIR TO IMMENSE ESTATE
Miss Minnie June BOggs Finds Of
Her Good Luck.
LAND IN CITY OF BALTIMORE
Had Been Leased for NInety-Ninc
Years ma Now IL to Become
Property of Heirs of Sir
Cecil Calvert.
CFrom a staff Correspondent

LINCOLN, Oct S.-(Special )--Three
billions Of dollars is a large sum Of
money, but 1t represents the value of an
estate which will fall to the heirs OF Sir
Cecil Calvert and one of them is Miss
Minnie June Boggs of Lincoln.
The estate is situated in the very heart
of the city of Baltimore. Maryland, and
represents an estate which was originally
owned by Sir George Calvert the original
Lord Baltimore of England. There is
considerable interesting history connected
with the estate and the manner in which
It was tied UP so that the sons of Sir
Cecil could not obtain possession OF It.
1t Is said that Sir Cecil became Of
Tended with his two sons who took OPP
posite sides in one of the great problems
which beset the English government at
that tinie and as q punishment to them
leased the tract of land which was a
part of the land grant of what was for
merly called Mary Land for a period OF
ninety-nine years. Upon this tract of
land has grown up the city of Baltimore
and In its very center is situated the very
tract of land which for many years has
been in litigation.
GmpAOyeu Mt Lincoln,
But to return to the little woman who
some day is liable to receive a share of
this mammoth estate. Miss Boggs is at
present employed as a stenographer at
the headquarters of the democratic state
committee in Lincoln. She is a sociable
girl, weighing about a hundred pounds
and has a winning smile and personality
which has won her a large circle of ac-
ouatntances in the few months she has
resided in the capital city. She is an
excellent musician and vocalist, most
graceful dancer and is at present en-
ployed evenings at the Lincoln dancing
academy one of the leading places of
that kind in the city. Her services are
in great demand and she has been obliged
10 give private lessons to some of Lin
coins most select young women.
Miss 6oggs was born in Omaha-welI,
not so many years ago, and has resided
there nearly all the time since, until sha
came to Lincoln. Her mother, Mrs. Nancy
Mathews, lives in Wyoming, and it is
through her that she derives her right
to participation in the Baltimore estate.
The interest OF the heirs is being looked
after by Mrs. A. Calvert Burgeoise of
st. Louis. who is an expert genealogist
and 1t is mainly through her efforts that
the estate has been saved to the heirs.
She is direct descendant of Lords Cal
vert and has prepared the hrtory of the
heirs very carefully to the present time
