For the greater part: of his life Sturgls 1ived on a ranch between Canterville and Irvington, purchased with | money that he took out of the gold mines the fire the firemen | 1 | [ | ply fon is rife as-to | blind boss will | | fited. half a century ago. At his death he left an estate: which is willed to two sistérs whom lie quarreléd with a generation ago over his wife.. He has not. seen or heard of them: since, but in his closing. days he decided: to.leave them hi§ property. These sistersare Mrs. Lucretia Crowell: of Toledo, -Ohio; -and Mrs. Erdolia. Wilcox of Adrian, Michigan. Sturgis: and his wife lived togeéther: for | many years at Irvington, and the old man took a prominent part in-politics, being nearly always a delegate to..caunty .con- ventions: - It- was partly due to his wife's thrift that he accumulated such a“com- | fortable fortune. About six years ago she was taken with her. last sickness, and prior to her death Sturgis engaged a mu- sical widow to act as. her nurse. The widow made a good nurse and her musi- cal powers charmed the pioneer.te such an extent that shortly after his deatk he married the ex-nurse: by con- tract. The contract was- apparently. -in. due form and the couple lived. in:-peace. for four months. Mrs. Sturgis then: claimed one-half of the old man’s property and importuned him to deed it to her; he declined to do, and after some legal procedure .thé musical widow consented to take $760 and a divorce. ‘About this timme Sturgis met a Mr. and | Mrs. English of San Francisco;, and he became very. cordial and confidential with both- of .them, : particularly = with Mrs. English. He furnished a house in which the Englishes lived and with whom he boarded. He then decided to put up a beautiful -home on Fell street, near the panhandle, and this was completed about two years ago.: In consideration of tak- ing. care ‘of. him for the rest of his life | he deeded this property to the Englishes, and after thé deed was recorded a cool- ness sprung -up between them, and Stur- | gis spent ‘several hundred dollars in hav- ing the property deeded back to him.

Oakland Office-San: Francisco Call, 908 ‘Broaway, ‘Aug. 3L, Dr. Rawdon Arnold of this city believes he has discovered one of ‘the reasons why. there has been so much dissatisfaction regarding the treatment _of sick soldiers.
