tional most of the time, it was
decided not to commit him as
insane. Later, Charles G. Sail,
a brother living in Minnesota, was
appointed guardian of Oscar's ea

Minnesota.
Attorneys are oT the opinion
that a perfect title to Oscar*Sail's
interest in real estate cannot be
given unil he has been gone seven
years. Under the common law rule,
which still prevails, the law can
not assume that he is dead until
he has been gone seven years.
Neither can he be presumed to be
still insane.
