McCarte Seeks a Larger Share of the Dead Man’s Estate. NAPA, April 15—What glves promise to be the beginning of a sensational and complicated legal fight was started to- day in this county by the filing of a con- test to the probate of the will of the late { J- J. McCarte by Attorney E. L. Webber of the Napa bar. The estate of McCarte is estimated to be worth from $125,000 to $150,000, the greater portion of which consists of real property in Napa County and the re- mainder of money in €an Francisco on deposit and money and real estate in Engiand and Ireland. McCarte was a native of Ireland and resided in Napa for a number of years. He died in March of this year. He was unmarried, but left a son, James Mc- Carte, in Great Britain. Three nephews— Roger McCarte, James McCarte and_ R. D. McCarte—llye in the old country. Mc- Carte's will left his property in England to the son, and that in America to exec- utors as trustees for the nephews. The contest is started by the son, whose at- torneys allege that McCarte, because o0f intemperance, was not in sound mind. —_— FATE OF YOUNG BURGLARS.

Seymour Kittrell, 13 yvears old, another troublesome lad, will be sent by his mother to his uncle in Stanislaus County, who will adopt him. The last boy was Jesse Rhodes, the oldest and worst of the lot.

REDDING, April 15.—A remnant of the tribe of McCloud River Indians, dwelling on a rancheria one mile this side of the TUnited States Reservation at Baird, got into a row while crazed with liquor, andI one buck was so badly beaten with clubs and rocks that he died shortly after- ward. Coroner Earnest received a mes- sage from Robert Radcliffe, a United States Fisheries employe, stating that a | drunken row had occurréd among the Indians below the Federal Reservation | and that one had reccived injuries from which he died and several others were badly hurt. The Coroner left in a few hours for the scene of the tragedy, twen- | ty-two miles north of Redding. The In-| dian who killed his tribesman will be placed under arrest and lodged in the | County Jall. Other arrests for selling liquors to Indians will follc#, as a de- termined effort will be made by the offi- cers of the fisheries reservation to break up the nefarious traffic.

These are about the only Valley, fifteen miles north ot here, this | words one can was opening day of the greatest tenni: hear in the ‘“city of oses” at present. On the streets, in tournament ever held in Southern Cal- | hotel lobbies, in the clubs and on the ifornia. There has for a long tim been a question as to whether the re gion tennis players than south of mountain could boast of. Some years ago Miss Marion Jones of Santa Mon ica brought the championship in ladies singles by defeating Miss Bee Hooper, and there are some gentlemen here who are expert wielders of the racket. That the matter might no longer re- main in doubt W. L. Thatcher of the Ojal Valley Tennis Club proceeded to organize a tournament. He was suc- cessful in matching George and Rob- ert Whitney and Samuel and Sumner Hardy, the champions of the north, against A. W. Bumiller and Robert A. Rowan of Los Angeles, O. I. Picher of Pasadena and W. L. Thacher of Ojai, who promised to uphold the banner of the south. The tournament aroused great interest in tennis circles. The tournament was what is called ‘Round Robin,” that is, each player rom the South in singles and doubles making sixteen singles and four dou- bles for the whole tournament. The day was all that could be desired, the weather being cool and cloudy, with just enough breeze to fan the brows of the players. The arrangements we;l'e the courts were in fine condition and the grand stand was handsomely decorated. At 9:30 time was called by H. Waldo Forster, the referee. The first match was between Sumner Hardy and Picher. Picher took the first set and on the second had a score of 3—2 be- fore Hardy woke up and won the last two sets by strong volleying and driv- ing, which proved too much for Pich- er’'s back hand strokes and smashing. Score: 4—6, 6—4, 6—2. Sam Hardy and Bumiller then went against each other with disastrous re- sults to the Southern man, although he made some beautiful plays in lagv volleying. Bumfller was not strong at the back of court. Score: 6—1, 6—2, in favor of Hardy. In the next match Thacher downed Robert Whitney with ease in two straights, 10—8, 6—3. Whitney did not seem to have his nerve with him, while Thatcher played in form which distinguished him when one of the champions at Yale. The next match was between George F. Whitney and Robert A. Rowan. The former won by a score of 6—1, 7—5, and could have left Rowan with nothing but “love” if he had awakened sooner. Rowan did tolerably well in the second set. At one time the score stood 5—1 | in his favor, but it was apparent that { Whitney was only toying with him. LAt 2:30 o'clock time was called for the afternoon game with Sam Hardy and Thacher at the net. The latter played a strong game for a time, but it was evident that he carried too much avoir- dupois to stand against the Northern ;n:’gnsaznd Hardy won in two straights, By far the best tennis of the day was played between Champion George Whitney and Picher. The former was the victor by 6-4, 6-4, but he had no walk-over and for a time it looked as if the Southern man would win. The fast work of Whitney proved successful and he defeated Picher. Sumner Hardy and Bumiller were the next players. Both these boys are slight and active and graceful as fawns and it was hard to tell which was the greater favorite with the grand stand. There was much more beauty than sci- ence in their play and the Northern man won by a score of 6-4. 6-3. In the doubles Hardy brothers were matched against Bumiller and Picher. It was evident from the start that the Southerners were outclassed, but they fought hard and the game was a bril- llant one. The score in favor of Hardy brothers was 6-4, 6-2. ‘Whitney brothers then went against Thacher and Rowan in the most excit- ing game of the day. The Northern- ers had to play a great deal harder than they ever did before. The first set went to the brothers by a score of 6 to 3, but in the next the Southern champions reversed the score. Just at dusk Whit- ney brothers won the third set and game; score, 6-3, 3-6, 7-5. To-morrow it is expected that a large crowd will be present, gathering from all parts of Southern California, and the most brilllant tennis playing ever seen in the South is likely to be wit- nessed. trains, it is all the same. By some subtle process, probably owing to the north of Tehachapl had better | correlation of ideas, the very air seems the | to have become redolent of roses. Great preparations are making for that carnival, efforts clearly demon- trating the fact that in the summer vocabulary of 3an Rafael there is no such word as “failure.” Arches are going up all over town to the clinking tune of the hammer and the rasping tenor of the saw. The grand arch will be situtated on Fourth street, between A and B, just opposite the Postoffice. The design for this, drawn . - Farns- worth, the local artist, on suggestions by Mrs. L. J. Har m was accepted re- cently at a meeting of the executive committee. Mrs. Hamm, who is an ac- tive member of the decorative commit- tee, has for a long time been associated in the decorative line with Miss Mary Bates. The arch will be of redwood, brought from the region of Duncans Mills by Robert Dollar, the lumber man, and will be so constructed that e bark will produc: a most artistic éf- fect. The roof of evergreens will be sur- mounted by “Old Glory.” Palms and rose, the carnival colors, and rows of incandescent lights will put on the fin- ishing touches. There will be neither bunting nor arything else to produce a stereotyred effect. The Voluntc Firemen of San Fran- cisco have signified their acceptance of the invitation to attend the carnival with all their paraphernalia. Leading citizens of Sausalito are urging the matter of representation vigorously, and it is safe to predict that the beau- tiful little city will do itself prond on the occasion. A public spirited 1ady of Mill Valley has signified her intention of beine present with a 'bus load of all the Sunday-school children that can be raked together in the vallev. A large crowd assembled at the opera-house this evening and greeted the ~erformance of the play “Pink Dominos,” given by the Calfornia Comedy Company in behalf of the car- nival fund, which was appreciably swelled in volume by the proceeds. To-morrow afternoon the press com- mittee will hold : meeting to consider the question of suitably entertaining representative of the press during the carnival. On Saturday evening, April 23, Dr. Frank Co-nwall will lecture at the opera-house for the benefit of the carnival fund, on “The Art of Posture.” The lecture will be delivered under the auspices of the San Rafael Social Club. FOR THE XLONDIKE. A Handsome Steamer Which Sails Exclusively From San Fran- cisco. A staunch, solid craft is the steamer Morgan City, which salls to-day at 3 o'clock on her initial trip to Copper River. Besldes being a swift-sailing peauty, the Morgan City belongs to the only line backed by FEastern canital which salls from San Francisco north. She is the property of the Ladue-Yukon Transportation Company, for whom the Johnson-Locke Company are the local agents. After this trip to Copper River her next will be to St. Michael, where she will'connect with river steamers for Daw- son City. She has a promenade deck of 300 feet, and her staterooms and cabins are handsomely fitted, giving more the idea of a cozy home ashore than a_tempo- rary floating dwelling-place. She i3 lighted by clectricity, heated by steam, and everything within bespeaks comfort and ease. The company has issued a handsome folder, containing a complete map of the gold fields and full instructions How to get there without being either frozen or starved to death on the way. —_———— School Accommodatioh Promised. The West of Castro- Street Improve- ment Club at its meeting last night was in a conciliatory mood toward the School Directors since that august body prom- ised to provide accommodation for the school children by the first of August. The club committee appointed at the last meeting waited on the board and fully represented to it the great necessity of providing a building on the west side of Castro street for the children residing there. The justice of the ciaim was rec- ognized by the Directors and a promise made that a suitable place would be pro- vided by the commencement of the next school term.

Finny Tribe in Lagunitas Creek Has Been Almost Ex- terminated. =Deplore the Absence Fish and Game ‘Warden. Sportsmen of & Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN RAFAEL, April 15.—Sportsmen of Marin County are enraged—so thor- oughly angered that they are going to make a good search for some legal soothing syrup. The cause of it is the wanton destruction of the fish in La- gunitas Creek by the use of giant pow- der in plain deflance of the law. “Great shade of Izaak Walton,” ex- claimed a well-known railroad man vesterday. “If the old gentleman could awake and take a trip along Lagunitas Creek he would see a sight that would make him weep. Dead fish in every deep hole, great and small—it is all the same. This giant powder method ought to be stopped and somebody be mads to suffer.” The principal place where fish have been illegally killed, to say nothing of the spawn, is near Camp Taylor. 1{ is asserted that certain men employec by Pedrini Bros. to take wood off the Shafter estate are responsible for the outrage, as nobody else would care to go there and kill fish with giant pow- der in full view of the woodcutters camps. Fish were unlawfully killed as early as in March. It is commonly supposed that there is a Board of Fish Commissioners located somewhere in the State, but it might as well not exist, so far as the pro- tection of the finny tribe in Marin County is concerned. An old man was sent into the county five days before the open season began, but for all the work accomplished he might nearly as well have spent his days in philosophic meditation over Sturm’s theorem. ‘What is needed is a fish and game war- den for the county, and those who Jove the sport have about made up their minds that one must be had at any cost if a single fish is to be permitted to remain in a stream that has af- forded recreation and amusement to many handlers of the reel in days gone by. A Child’s Accidental Death. SA.. RAFAEL, April 15—The jury ap- pointed by Coroner Eden to inquire into the death of r-old Leon Oliver Kel- ton, who met death yesterday by falling from a wagon driven by nis father on the Petaluma road north or here, after a short deliberation to-day brought in a verdict of accidental death, in accordance with the facts stated.
