NO FOREST FIRE BRIGADES. ‘Opinion That C;ux;{y Funds Cannot Be Used for Their Maintenance. LOS ANGELES, Dec. 17.—Deputy Dis- trict Attorney Wilbur to-day advised the | Boara of Supervisors that the applica- tion of the Chamber of Commerce for an appropriation of $500 from the county funds for the purpose of making a sur- | vey and map of the San Gabriel forest | reserve with & view to an appropriation from the general Government for tracts, clearings and breaks as a means of pre- venting and stopping serious conflagra- tions in the mountains could not, under the present law, be granted.

STOCKTON, Dec. —Judge Budd, of the Superior Court of this county, ren- dered two important decisions this af- ternoon. In the suit of the Stockton Gas and Electric Company against the County to recover $1,432.48, which amount was paid to the County Treasurer on the as- sessment of the company’s franchise, the court held that the franchise was assess- able. The franchise had been assessed for $98,788. In the case of the Board of Education to compel the county school superintem- dent to apportion to the city school mon- eys from the State for attendance of pu- plils upon the high school and the night and grammar schools, the court decided in favor of the board. An appeal will be taken. OBTAIN A PENSION Los Angeles Judge Forced to Send a Friendless Old Woman to Prison.

Progress on the Extension of the Cal- ifornia Northwestern. TUKIAH, Dec. 17.—The second ten miles of grading for the extension of the Cali- fornia Northwestern Rallway is now in course of completion. This grade will put the road to within four miles of Wil- letts. The extension will be over heavy grades and will be perhaps three times as expensive as the first ten miles. The track is laid four and a half miles north of Ukiah. Some substantial bfldgq have been erected and the track thus far com- pleted will_be ready tor regular service as soon as Willetts is reached. The rainy weather has greatly checked the work on the extension. DI Calvin E. Crocker’s Will. SACRAMENTO, Dec. 17.—Calvin E. Crocker, brother of the late Benjamin R. Crocker, to-day filed the latter’s will for probate. The will was made in 1876, and thé late Charles Crocker and the late W. E. Brown. It | bequeathed all of the estate, now valued at a half million dollars, to his wife, Mary E. Crocker. Mrs. Crocker died in June, 189, therefore the estate goes to Mr. Crocker's heirs-at-law, seven broth- ers and sisters, and their offspring. —_———— Ladies Are Especially Invited.

ARE TO BE INVESTIGATED POINTED FROM THE UNIT NOYES OF ALASKA, WHOSE OFFICIAL ACTIONS | - | BY A SPECIAL STATES SE COMMITTEE AP- NATE. ASHINGTOD alleged misconduct of Judge Arthur H. Noyes, while pre- | siding over the District Court | of Alaska, has been called to the attention of the Senate. Senator Carter of Montana to-day in- troduced a resolution calling for a full investigation of his actions. and to ascer- tain and report to the Senate the names | of all persons who are in any way con- nected with any litigation in his court concerning which any improper influence | or illegal conduct has been or may be charged. . It has been charged that Judge Noves, | having jurisdiction over the Cape Nome | district, has been guilty of {llegal or im- proper conduct in connection with litiga- tion pending in his court. The judiciary committee is directed to | thoroughly investigate this scandal, di- | recting its investigations thoroughly and along the following lines: First—Are the general mining laws of the United States applicable to the dis- | trict of Alaska? | | | HUGH BUCHANAN'S SECOND TRIAL FOR MURDER IS BEGUN Prefers to Run the Risk of Hanging Rather Than Continue as an In- mate of an Insane Asylum. MARYSVILLE, Dec. 17.—ihe trial of Hugh Buchanan for - the murder of “Billy” Miles, the gambler, in this city | on March 6, 1894, began In the Superior | Court to-day. On a former trial of Bu- chanan in 1894, proceedings were sus- pended and the accused was examined by | the Commission in Lunacy, upon whose | report he was committed to the insane | asylum at Napa. Later Buchanan, who‘, claimed to have been sane at all times | during his trial and toereafter, ,was | brought before the Superior Court of | Napa County on a writ of habaes corpus | and on an appeal from the mandate of that court was remanded by the Supreme | Court to Yuba County once more for trial | for his crime. | Pecullar interest attached to the case because of the variety of expert testimony | introduced as to the mental condition of | the prisoner. Much of this same evidence will be given to show the prisoner to have been insane at the time of the commission of the crime. The crime has proved costly to Yuba County. Buchanan, in the proceedings instituted to obtain his release from the asylum, | claimed to have been declared insane as the result of a conspiracy to which he was | a party, and alleged that he was promised freedom after a brief term in the asylum. s ini Vi, QUEER TERMS OF DEED FILED AT SANTA ROSA Fountain Grove Property to Revert ! to the Grantee Who Lives the Longest. SANTA ROSA, Dec. 17.—By the terms of a deed filed for record here to-day | Thomas Lake Harris and- wife of New | Yerk transfer to Kanal Nagasawa, Miss | Nicholas and Miss Margaret Parting of this city and Robert Morris Hart and Mary Blizabeth Hart of New York their entire remaining interest in the beauti- ful property known as Fountaln Grove, a short distance north of Santa Rosa. The consideration named is $40,000, and a peculiar clause in the deed provides that the grantees shall hold a life tenure and the property finally is to revert to the one | who lives the longest and to his heirs and assigns. In other words, as the grantees die one by one their interest goes to the | surviving partners until only one remains, | Fountain Grove is the former home of | the celebrated community founded here twenty-five vears vy Thomas Lake Harris, the mystic. It is one of the finest and most productive rapuities in Sonoma County. Its several thousand acres of rolling hill land are planted mainly in vineyards, and it has one of the most complete Wwineries in the State.

S SAN JOSE, Dec. 17.—San Jose lighting contracts undoubtedly will be the subject of a suit soon to be filed in the Superior Court and sensational developments that will show the inside workings of city af- fairs are promised. The trouble grows out of a fight between the two companies, and charges of favoritism on the part of the City Council toward the Light and Power C(erani;, which now holds the contract for lighting the city, are made. At the meeting of the City Counecil this morning H. T. Edwards, the manager of | the Electric Improvement Company, de- manded that a suit be commenced by the Council In the name of the city of San Jose against City Treasurer McGeoghegan and his bondsmen for the recovery of $2700, which it is alleged has been jllegally paid to tbe Light and Power Company for lighting the streets during the past five In his demand 'wards alleges that the claims of these months include charges against the city for lighting cer- tamn_electric lights for which there is no | cortract or order. The Council referred the matter to the City Attorney. Unless the city manded by Edwards the latter will brin; suit himself to have the money replaced. At present the money for lhihung the electric tower is tied up by injunction, Edwards claiming that, although his bid was the lowest for lighting the tower all night, the matter was so juggled by the Council as to give it to the Light” and Powey Company. For lighting the rest of the city all night Edwards' bid was the lowest, but the Council later decided to light the streets but half the night and gave the contract to the Light and Power Company. Now .t s claimed the com- pfi;' has put in lights that were never ordered and is charging for them.

FRUE PRESENTS NEW WILL IN COURT By Its Terms She Inherits the Estate of the Late Millionaire. e LOW VALUATION ON PROPERTY DA Entire Holdings of the San Jose Min- ing Man D:clared to Be Worth but Thirty-Five Hun- dred Dollars. Ll [ iy Special Dispatch to The Call. SAN JOSE, Dec. 17.—A new phase was | zdded to-day to the promised contest over | I'the estate of Willlam B. Frue, the mil | lionaire mining man, who died at his home | Leve on November 9, by the presentation of a will for probate by Mrs. Maud B. Frue, the widow. This evidently was done | to head off the petition of Public Admin- | istrator Kell, who recently applied for letters of administration on the estate. Shortly after Frue's death Mrs. Frue filed a deed made by her husband on No- vember 8, giving to her all property, both | real and personal, belonging to him. A | number of creditors were dissatisfied with | tmis and Public Admtnistrator Kell apphed | tor letters. In the application the Public | Adminstratar alleged the estate to be worth more than 30,0 and pernaps | $1,000,000. | "'tné will filed to-day is dated October 31 last, and in lieu of signature contains simply the testator's mark. The witnesses are ‘1. A. Perrin and C. D. Wright. 1In it | | all property is bequeathed to tne widow, the child being omitted, as :t is deciared | its mother will care for it. The value of the estate is placed at $3500, consisting of E 50-acre ranch in Monterey County, w rental income of $250 a year. Mrs. | ¥rue asks that John H. Suits, her brother, be named as executor. | There is a mortgage of $22,000 on' this | ranch, and the smail valuation placed upon it is a surprise. The creditors of | the estate probably will contest the stated valuve. Those interested in the estate claim there is yet another will in existence made | | by ¥rue, In which his realty holdings are | enumera'ted, and an attempt will be made to have it produced in couri. The deed made by Frue to his wife probably will be attacked. so that creditors may obtaln judgments against the estate A hearing | on matters affecting the estate will occur on Friday. | ANNEXATION MOVEMENT. Suburban School District May Be Added to San Jose. i SAN JOSE, Dec. 17.—Preliminary steps | have been taken for a subdivision of the Hester School District, adjoining the city on the south, and it is said the ultimate end will be its annexation to the city. A petition asking for this division and the | creaton of a separate district to be known as Sunol District, has been filed with' County Superintendent Chipman, who has named December 22 as the time for a hearing. In the Hester district there are 98 pu- plis and two schoolhouses. The district lies between San Jose and Santa Clara, but is principally contributary to this city. The Alameda, which runs through the center, is named as the boundary, and the territory south of that roadway | and west of the city is proposed to be cut off. There are 460 pupils in the dis- trict and a large schoolhouse. By divid- | ing the district and annexing it to the city the pupils would enjoy the benefits of the San Jose High School, which is one of the best in the State. A counter petition,+ which strongly opposes a division, is be- ing circulated, and there probably will be a warm contest. e ATTACHES A BOARD OF TRADE EXHIBIT Action Taken by Patrick nmm,g a Creditor of the San Jose Organization. SAN JOSE, Dec. 17.—While a joint meet- ing of the Board of Trade and the Im- provement Club was being held to-night, at which plans were discussed to merge the former into the latter, the exhibit of Santa Clara County resources in the board’s room was attached for $43. This action was taken by Patrick Holehan, who holds a deficiency judgment for that amount against the Board of Trade, which is part of $2000 borrowed to finish the carnival pavilion in 18%. Holehan lately sued all members of the Board of Trade for their pro rata lla.b!lllg of $8 2u, and this has been the means of disrupting the assoclation. The officers of the Board of Trade now propose to disband and turn the exhibit and affairs over to the Improvement Club. GATHERING OF TEACHERS.
