Pre. will he had made in favor of the girl and made another will disinheriting her entirely. This was a holopraphic will, but he had two witnesses to it. Both, however, did not sign the same time, In September, 188 Sankey came east, and on October 25 of that year he died at the home of his brother, John Sankey, at Miflinburg, Union county. He left in California thirteen lots in Berkely, lots on Channel street and the house at Nineteenth and Jessie streets, San Francisco, This is worth $50,000 now, In Chicago he had thir |" teen lots also, and $12,000 in money. Just what the lots are worth is not known definitely, but $10,000 has been offered for them. At MifMlinburg he owned a tannery anil property said to be worth $50,000 and some notes and judgments against his litigious rela- tive for over £5,000, Before his death Caroline had found a friend in Charles 8. Coggins, of San Francisco. Mrs. Coggins gave her a home and upon Sankey's death Mr. Coggins was appointed her guardian and applied to Judge Coffey for letters of administration on her adopted fath- er's estate. This application was come batted by John Sankey, of MiMlinburg on behalf of the Pennsylvania relatives who offered the disinheriting will for probate.
