Charley Fair Is Playing for Time With the Best Wishes of His Sisters. Dr. Mare Levingston, glancing yesterday over the last reported proceedings in court in the Fair will case, wasapparently much | amused. [ “George Knight, I sce, has informed the court that the change of front is not as | serious as it appears,” said the doctor. Mr. Knight is wrong about it. It is just as serious as it appears—to us at| least. For it neither is nor ap-| pears serious at all. On the contrary it is the most arrant and transparent trif- | ling with the dignity and majesty of the jaw and the court. Mr. Knight is simply playing for time. He says that Charley Fair and himself have become convinced that the will of tie 24th, which they lately declared to be the oniy genuine will, is, instead, a rank forgery. Hesays that he | has such abundant proof of 1t that he will not only prove it to the satisfaction of whe | court, but will convince me or my attor- | neys. If that be true why cannot they try | it on the other heirs, the Fair sisters, and | | | having convinced them, array the united army ot Jawyers against this later will? ‘‘Hitherto the heirs have been one in i It not to be supposed that Charley Fair is concealing the facts | about tie pencil will from Yis sisters; that | he has entered upon a serious contest of | the will dlone by his own choice. If, then, they know all that he knows abont the pencil will, it appears that the facts | have not been sufficient to convince them that it is a forgery, and they stand out | and refuse to contest. Last deed, they filed a demurrer to the contest of this will set up by Van R. Paterson on behalf of Herman Oeirichs Jr., which in effect gives distinct notice that they still stand on this will. “What does it ail mean then? Has Charley Fair broken with his sisters, after having taken chances on that disinherit- ance clause of the earlier will? Has he | now entered a serious contest of the later | will that was his hope and anchor, and | this on evidence that all the others refuse to accept? Isthat likely?’” | “Noj Mr. Knight has said it is not se- rious. It is quite plain to me that this is all prearranged—a 1mere play upon the boards, determined upon after weeks of consultation between all the parties. It is an extravagant, I may say, grotesque, position for client and lawyers to take, but, as I say, it was determined upon after the ntmost deliberation as the only thing to be done in their desperate straits. *“This is the reason for it. These people have determined to keep in position to make the best of either will. What they objected toin the eariier will was the trust clause. Pending their legal jugcle to cure 1t of that feature the later will was brought forward. 1 was announced as an executor of that-will. I knew nothing of my hav- ing been selected to that trust until it was announced by Mr. Fair himself. “‘Well, they cured the earlier will of the trust clause.

My counsel urge | find Charley T | M riday, in-|s the immediate probate of the later will. Van R. Paterson, who represents minors, who have large interests under the fi will as drawn, with the trust clause in- claded, opposes. We accede to his right to contest and demand an immediate jury trial. Thisis a right guaranteed, and_ the Wiy seems clear for a speedy conclusion and probate of the pencil will. In the meantime the discovery is made that the peculiar wording of the pencil will seems to give to each of the three children only a fourth interest in the estate, whereas under the earlier will they got a third. ““They determine now to lay the ghost of the trust feature by getting an opinion | from the Supreme Court. They require iime for that, and pending that time they must maintain a position on the fence. One wingof them must be ready to drop according as the trust is sustained or de- stroyed. _“Charley Fair therefore files an opposi- tion, and the Fair sisters file a demurrer to Paterson’s opposition. delay and argnments—time. ably certain that Paterson will 1t is reasog- v right of the interest his clients | ve under the trust feature of the first.

L THE CALL ISSUED. | ‘Ward Republicans Take Steps to Elec Their Own Delegates to the Sacramento Convention, OARLAND OFFicE SAN Francisco Cary,) 905 Broadway, April 13, { The ward Republican clubs who have decided to hold primaries have issued the call. The convention to nominate the dele- gates to the Sacramento convention will consist of 128 members, and will meet Avpril 20, The full call is as follows: WHEREAS, The Republican State Central Com- mittee of the State of California ata meeting held in San Francisco, Febrary 29, 1896, for the purpose of calling’ State and District Con- gressional conventions to select delegates to the National Convention at St. Louis on June 16, 1896, acted under the following instruc- tions from the National Republican Committee to wit: That the Congressional district dele- gates shall be chosen at conventions called by the Congressional committee of each | said district in the same manner as | the =~ nomination of _a Representative in Congress is made in’ said district; and whereas, the suid State 1ts nforesaid meeting and in said call provided that the basis of representation in said con- vention should be as follows: One delegate for ench Assembly district within the Congres- onal district, one delegate for each 200 votes cast for the Hon.

Answer: Ignored them and de- fied reputable members of the party who have earnestly urged thatno deviation from usual methods be inaugurated. We find that “‘our Ciesars have been eating something that has made thera unusually fat and independent.” Whereas this failure of the committee to call a primary election places the members of the party within the conditions anticipated hy the State Central Committee when they formu- lated the following: *Provided that in any Congressional district where there is no Re- publicen Congressional committee the Repub- ican State Committee shall aproint from the residents of such district a committee for the purpose of caliing a district convention to elect district delegates,” and justifies, if no other reason does, the assumption by the ople of the powers which their creatures re- use to exercise, to wit: the calling of & pri- mary election.

LAME BACK Of all the distressing ailments man is afflicted with, it would be hard to find one more common than the one known generally as “lame back,” nor one whose causes are more uncer- tain. “Lame back” may be caused by a strain in former years, by weak kidneys, by weak nerves and vital organs, or by one of a hundred other causes, but whatever the cause it is certainly a weakness of the nerves which find their foundation or center at this point, the small of the back. D SANDEN'S Electric Belt, which gives its invigorating electric currents direct to the small of the back, and naturally builds up the weakened muscles, will cure and has cured hundreds of cases of lame back.

I had not a pain in the morning, went to work feeling well ane have had'no pain since, and don’t expect any if I take care of myself. That is the trath and | am thankful to you and the Belt for being able to say it. You can do as vou plesse with this statement. You know where! live. THOS. G'CONN oL Sty South River street, San Jose, Cal. Mr. O’Connor had probably worn all sorts of plasters and tried everything in the way of liniments, besides the numerous prescriptions the doctors give for lame back, during the fourteen years he suffered—and after all Dr. Sanden’s Belt cured him in one night. It seems almost beyond belief, but the statement is straight from the heart, and it is true. Do you suffer from lame back? Do you suffer from any weakness or pain ? If so, discard drugs and plasters and try this famous Electric Belt. Get the book about it free. Address SANDEN ELECTRIC CO., March 18, 1898. 630 MARKET ST., OPPOSITE PALACE HOTEL, SAN FRANCISCO.
