This evidence occasioned the surprise during the trial of the contest instituted by Robert Ash of the will of the Mte Mrs. Catherine E. Gregory, who died recently, leaving an estate valued at $20,00. Mrs. Gregory was little Charlotte's foster mother, and by the terms of a will executed Decem- ber 10, 1595, she devised her entire estate to the child, subject, however, to a life estate vested in Mrs. Martha Munson, proponent of the w the child just prior to her death.

R O Vo Epectal Dispatch to The Call. ¥ CALL DQUARTERS, WELLING- 3TON, Dec. 21.— Representative Needham, when asked to- day by a Call correspondent why he had | asked the Land Office to suspend entry a upon land in the oil district in Cali- fornia, ted that he had done so because it had been represented to him by a large number of his constituents that there was about to be attempted a gigantic steal of these lands, engineered by certain well- known land sharks in California. 3, 2 It was represented to Mr. Needham that | these gentlemen had got hold of a large | body of forest reserve script and were about to use it to obtain title to ofl lands, in violation of the spirit if not the letter | of the law. In order to obtain title to the | land with forest reserve script the locator must swear that the land located is agri- cultural. The ol Jand in California is clas- | sified in the Land Office as agricultural, | but as a matter of fact almost all of it has lain unoccupied since the admission of California. Very few settlers wanted to pre-empt or homestead it, because it is | utterly unfit for farming or grazing pur- oses. PTo 8top this fraudulent attempt of script men to gain title to these valuable oil lands Mr. Needham has been before Com- missioner Hermann a number of times. The Land Office has put the brakes on and understands the situation. It has is- sued an order that the locator of land With forest reserve script must publish notice of his location in the nearest news- paper and must afirmatively prove that the land thus located Is agricultu in character. Commissioner Hermann In- formed Mr. Needham that this order | would be held retroactive. Mr. Needham has made request that all land in the ol region be withdrawn from entry with a view to re-examination and reclassification, but the department holds this cannot be done, as reclassification is | only to be had of railroad land grants. | However, order of publication and proof | as above set forth will practically operate | as a reclassification.

HER Died After Two Hours of Horrible Agony in Spite of All a Doc- tor’s Efforts. One swallew of cheap imitation of cognac killed 3-year-old Rosina Fazzia, 1307 Kearny street, in two hours’ time last | Wednesday evening. Rosina sat at the dinner table with the family and within her reach was a quart bottle nearly full of cheap brandy used by the family to burn in the black coffce. Mrs. Fazzla left the table for a few mo- ments and when she returned the child had just put the bottle back on the table. She immediately went into convuisions. Dr. Artiguez was sent for and adminis- tered the usual remedles, but despite his efforts the child died two nours after drinking the vile stuff. The body was re- moved to the Morgue and an inquest will be_held to-morrow morning. The father of the dead child visited the Morgue vesterday afternoon and made a | gtatement of the case in accordance with the foregoing facts. - He added that the cognac is sold at retall at 70 cents a qu: WENT TO THE GRAVE WITH SECRET OF HER DOWNFALL ISS EDITH HOWLAND of 308 Munich street, a prepossessing Yyoung woman of twenty-two summers, died yesterday after- noon at St. Luke's Hospital, carrying with her to the grave a secret that the authorities have endeavored to unravel. Three weeks ago Miss How- land went to Mrs. Wolf, an acquaint- ance, residing at 22 Maple street, and told her that she was seriously 1l When she finished her stary she fainted in the arms of her friend. Dr. E. N. Torrello was called to attend her, and after administering_stimu- lants and reviving her attempted to get from her the cause of her illness. She stubbornly refused to tell her story and as her condition was critical the doctor had her removed to St. Luke's Hospital. While she was there she was visited frequently by ® Albert Villlere, who gave his residence as 1724 Market street. It was apparent to all of the attendants that the young man was the sweetheart of the deceased. He visited her yesterday afternoon and at that time she had so far recovered that she was in a condition to sit on the porch of the hospital and expected to leave it in a few days. The couple had a long and earnest conversation. After the young man laft the place the patient told the at- tendant that Villiere was going to leave for Los Angeles on the steamer in the afternoon and that she never expected to see him again. She ap- peared to be very much dejected after the interview. After she was put to tet 5 | | 102424 %e O . ALBE RE=C RT VILLIE bed in the evening she refused to talk to any one and became rapidly worse. The nurses reported her condition to the physician in charge, but as she had been improving rapidly little at- tention was glven to the apparent change for the worse. A few hours later the attendant reported that Miss Howland had died. During her stay in the hospital she had confessed to the nurses that she had been operated upon by two doc- tors, whose names she steadfastly re- fused to divulge. She also declined to give the name of the man who was responsible for her downfall. Villfere will arrive at Los Angeles to- day, and the authorities have been Instructed to interview him and get his version of his connection with the case.

RAILROAD GIVEN JUDGMENT — In obedience to an order made by Judge | Cook, Assistant District Attorney Solo- place before it a verified complaint, by which John Prutton sought to recover $10,000 damages from the Market Street Railway Company for personal injuries, the object being to secure an indictment against Prutton for perjury alleged to have been committed when he verified the complaint in question. Mr. Prutton, who has been laboring near Sunol for some time past, {s now in the city, having ar- rived last evening, and instead of prepar- ing himself to resist the proposed criminal proceedings will immediately make & mo- tion for a new trial of his case, which was decided against him by a jury Judge Cook’s court yesterday. in The facts of the c 2 are pe ton was found unconscious near the Mis- slon street tracks, between Fourth and Fifth streets, on the night of February 2 last. He admitted being intoxicated on the night question, and said that as he was crossing the street he saw a car appear in front of him, and he remem- bered nothing more. Subsequentiy two witnesses to the accident, Willlam Cava- naugh and John Hogan, were discovered, and after the injured man had placed his case in the hands of Attorney Louls P. Boardman they came forward and mode statements regarding the cause of the ac- cident, which the attorney now holds Cavanaugh, who Is marine fireman and resides at t44A Mission street, sald On the night of the 24 of February, at about 11:45, I was with Mr. Hogan on the south side of Mission street, between Third and Fourth, on my way home, when 1 saw @ green car of the Mission-street line strike the man, whose name I do not know. The car was going about ten miles per hour, the man was drunk and in plain sight in the middle of the street, and had the motor. man been looking out he need not have struck the man. Mr. Hogan called p the car, you have run over a man.” They pald no ‘attention and continued on their way. Two officers came up the street and rang for the patrol. They did not see the accident, but we told them that he was struck by a green car. A third party came up and the officer drove him off. He did not stay until the patrol came up, but went home. In his statement Hogan testified as fol- lows: On the night of the 24 of 11:45 o'clock, at_exactly 1w Mission street when John Prutton was n-street car.

The car was then some forty feet or more from the place where the accident occurred. The gripman or motorman could have seen the man in plenty of time to avold the accident had he been looking. He rang no bell. and the man did not see the car until it was on him. The man was crossing from north to south, and when the car struck him it knocked him toward the sidewalk. The motorman made no effort to stop the car until too late, and then continued on without stopping. Mr. Cavanaugh, with me, called to the motorman 0 stop and help take care of the man he ad run down, but he made no answer.

Wednesday, however, Attorney Boardman says, when the case was called both were in court, and on being ad- dressed said that they had been subpe- naed by the rallroad and had been paid thelr witness fees. Shortly after this the case was called, and Mr. Boardman asked for a continuance on the ground that he could not find the plaintiff, and this was granted in view of the fact that he con- sented to draw a jury and let the case go to trial yesterday morning. Prutton, not having recelved his notification, failed to show up yesterday morning, but Ju Cook refused to entertain a motion fc continuance, and the case went to tri Hogan and Cavanaugh being absent, t defendant put on several street car ope ators, all of whom testified that they did not see the plaintiff struck by a car, and Officer Glynn testified that he found the plaintiff beside the railway, an iron bar about a foot long near his prostrate body, Although the plaintiff’s nose was frac- tured and bleeding and his head cut, no blood was on the bar, which the defend- ant endeavored to connect with his in- ury. s ’Aller the officer left the stand Mr. Boardman requested the court to allow his witnesses to testify. They were not in court, and even in the face of the fact that they had stated that they were sub- penaed by the company Mr. Boardman asked for a continuance that they might it.
