Speclal Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Nov. 28.—A contest is prom- ised over the estate of Willilam B. Frue, the capitalist, who died in this city on November 9. The first step was taken to- day by Public Administrator Kell, who filed a petition for letters of administra- tion. Shortly after Frue's death a deed was filed for record in which all property, real and personal, was left to the widow. It was dated a week before his death. Pub- ic Administrator Kell in his petition de- ares his belief that W. B. Frue died in- testate, leaving an estate worth more than 310,000 and probably exceeding $1.000.- 0. The estate consists of a large ranch in Monterey County, real estate in Santa Clara County and the State of Michigan, besides a large amount of stocks and bonds. Mrs. Maud B. Frue, the widow, and a minor son, Robert B. Frue, are named as the heirs. The petition has been set for a hearing on December 14 before Judge Hyland. It is said the deed made by Frue short- 1y before his death will be attacked on the ground that he was not physically capa- ble of making it. A number of creditors with unsecured debts are said to be inter- ested in the fight for the administration of the estate. rs. Frue will resent the at- tempt of the Public Administrator, claim- ing thero is no estate of decedent, as by the terms of the deed it was all trans- ferred to her before his death. Whliam B. Frue was the son of W. B. Frue of Michigan, the inventor of the Frue concentrator, and at his father's death inherited property worth $100,000, At his death he was 31 years old. He had lived in California for a number of years and was interested in mining in the north- ern part of the State.
