This sum I invested in v enterprises and in a few years his fortune amounted to over $30,000. After the death of his brother, Emel- lion Fuller, rs ago, Alfred was appointed and administrator of his estate, *h amounted to up- ward of $75,000. The management sum, gether with his own prop- s a task which greatly worried an, and as vears went by he became suspicious of ev acted in a friendly manner toward him. He believed every one was after his money. His heart became bitter | against all his relativ and he was especially chary in his relations with women. He often expressed a fear that some one would attempt to get his wealth from him before he died and feit sure that after his death his estate would be the prey of some person or persons who had no claim to it. He took a morbid interest in the details of Sharon and Falr litigations and to think similar attempts to steal his estate would be made. He died quite unexpectedly in the fall of 97 and no will of any kind wa found among his papers. His estate and also that of his brother went into the hands of Public Administrator E. M. Woodman, who still has charge of the proverties. Shortly after his death a note for $15,000 drawn in favor of Dr. A. J. Landis of Chico was presented against Alfred Fuller's estate. It was alleged to have been given in consid- eration for mec and bore no payable in two ¥ bore. public administrator and suit was brought to collect and this litigation is now pending. Several months after Fuller's death rumors began circulating that he had left a will, which could not be found, and that Dr. J. Ellis Rodley and John Garner had witnessed the document. These reports aroused greater interest in the case as many of Fuller’'s friends declared that he strongly disliked these two men and never neglected an op- portunity to speak ill of them.

In order to obtain the precious paper she nted to pay that sum w he.came into the es- tate. She also swore that Cormack had pledged her not to mention his name in | | connection with the case. Cormack’s | reputation for ho rectitude and | probity had never before been ques- knew him the wo- who one | was surprised and on all side tioned and every man's story was discredited. Under instructions from Judge Gray the Grand Jury began an investigation into the alleged illegal detention of Fuller's will and the alleged attempt at | extortion, but nothing has as yet come of the inquiry. Mr. Cormack one of Fuller's closest friends and the m rious send- ing of the will to him, months after a futile search had been made for it, is considered by the Fuller heirs as a part of the scheme to deprive them of their rights. The heirs allege in the contest that this procedure w mply to add | weight to the forgery. Cormack repu- | diates the whole affair and says he had nothing to do with it further than to receive the will in the strange manner detailed and that he immediately de- | | livered it to Mrs. Houseworth. i | It is further alleged by friends of | Alfred Fuller that he did not have any | high regard for Mrs. Houseworth, al- | though she maintains that he loved her and at one time would have married her had not Emellion Fuller interfered. These same people assert that the de- | ceased also had a streng antipathy for | Dr. Rodley and John Garner, whose sig- | natures as witnesses are attached to | the alleged will. Garner and Fuller are | id to have had business troubles some ears ago. | |SS P s Rodley is one of the lead- ing physicians of Chico and is Mayor of the city. He came from Missouri eleven years ago. John Garneris a farmer. Mrs. Minnie Houseworth was formerly Mrs. West. Her first husband | dted, leaving her in comfortable cir- cumstances, but she has lost most of | her property. She married Houseworth afterward, but the couple are now liv- | ing apart, the husband being some- where in Southern California. None of Fuller’s acquaintances were ever aware or suspected that he was devoted to the woman. Tt is hardly possible that a man of Fuller's habits and tempera- ment could have courted or shown marked attention to any woman with- | out it being noticed and exciting gossip. was OVER BUILDINGS ANIED BY FLANES Conflagration Visits the | Accumulates a Fortune Alaskan Port. h to The Call —Dyea had i ening of March ng of five build- a ts and over 12 with n urance.

Will Special Dispatch to The Call. Call Headquarters, Wellington Hotel, Washington, March 7. The plans for the three big battl ships authorized by the naval appro- priation bill just passed are being worked out. The general features of the ships have been defined, subject to the approval of the Secretary. The battleships wil! be a thcusand tons larger than the Maine and Missouri class, of a total displacement of 13,500 tons, making them by far the largest ships in the American navy and about | equal in dimensions to the best type of battleships now being constructed abroad under the new practice. Though larger than the Maine, the ships will be | laié on almost the same lines, being only a little greater in every dimension. They will carry each four 12-inch guns in turrets. This caliber is an inch less than the guns carried by the Oregon, but by improved design they will be al- most equal in penetrative power. The §-inch guns of the Oregon type, although they did very effective work at Santiago and Manila have been abandoned. But instead of eight 8-inch guns the new ships will have no less than sixteen guns of 6-inch caliber, all rapid-firers and twenty 6-pounders. portion between guns, taught by the | | experience of our own fleet during the Spanish war and of the Chinese and ;Japanesn vessels during their late war. | The speed of the ships will be 18 knots, {an advance of two knots over the Ore- | gon class, but just equal to that of the | new Maine. For protection against the | enemy’s shot the battieships will have | | but one belt of armor seven feet six | inches broad, running clear around the water line, three feet six inches above nd four feet below. It was originally | planned to have this armor sixteen | | inches thick, but the designers have | now reduced the thickness to twelve {inches.

When Secretary Gage issued his an- nual report in December he estimated a deficit of $112,000,000 for the current fiscal year and a little more than $30,- 000,000 for the next year ending June 30, 1900. The estimates made by Repre- sentatives Cannon and Dockery of the House Committee on Appropriations put the deficiency for the next year far above the figures of the Secretary— Dockery placing -t as high as $100,000,- 000.

RUHLIN WINS IN THE FIFTH ROUND Easily Defeats Old Joe Goddard. Special Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, March. 7.—Gus Ruhlin of Akron, O, met and defeated Joe Goddard of Australia in the fifth round of what was to have been a twenty round bout before the Lenox Club to- night. Both men stripped in excellent condition, but Ruhlin had the call in | the betting. fied from his appearance, and from the outset he held his opponent cheaply. He evidently saw that Joe could not offset his rushes and from the begin- ning forced the fighting. The Aus- tralian went down frequently with good cause, but toward the close of the con- test he dropped without cause and was | deservedly disqualified. Ruhlin was a 2 to 1 favorite in the betting.

When he ~ot up he feinted with his left | and was met with a hard right on the face, and went down a third time, re- maining on the floor almost to the limit. When he got up there were only a few | seconds left before the round ended. Round 2—Ruhlin sent his left to_the| face hard and Goddard dropped three times in_ quick succession. Ruhlin re- peated this dose and knocked his man | down with each blow. The referee count- | ed six and nine and eight consecutively | while Goddard was trying to regain his | feet, and the referee cautioned Goddard to_stop “holding.” | Round 3—Joe was quick In toeing the | mark, and jumped to the center of the | ring. He dodged a vicious left from Ruh- in, but went to his knees with a hard | right on the jaw. After a lot of fiddling Gus forced Joe to the ropes in the oppo- site corner and put him down with a right smash on the jaw. The “old hoss” seemed used to such rough treatment and came | up on the defensive, only to go down again witn another smash on the jaw. and breakaway was | Toward the end of the round they were both again cautioned for holding.
