McConnell, executrix of the estate of Willlam McConnell, deceased, and George Simmons, to make an accounting for property which has béen in his pos- sessfon for the last fifteen years. It appears from the complaint that on April 9, 188, John Fairchild, the present Coroner and Public Administrator of Sis- kiyou County, executed a promissory note to Jerome Churchill for $2800, half of which was advanced to him by Churchill and the other half by Willlam MeCon- nell and George Stmmons. Two weeks later Fairchild transferred to Jerome Churchill 1400 head af livestock, together with about 12,000 acres of land, as sectrity for the money advanced him. Churchill took the property in -his own name for the benefit of his partners and retained the same until December 18, 1807, when Fairchild made an absofute transfer | to the banker of ail the property and ac- cumulations in payment of an indebted- ness of $138,300, which represented the in- terest upon the original investment of $42.- 800 and subsequent advancements made by the Siskiyou County Bank. The complaint states that Jerome Churchill has had the exclusive manage- ment and control of the valuable prop- erty to the exciusion of his partners from 185 to the present time. The action is therefore brought to compel Churchill to account for all the personal and real prop- erty transferred to him by Fairchild, and also for the increase of stock upon the ranch in controversy. Willlam McConnell died on October 8, 1588, and in his last will and testament he bequeathed all bis property to his wife. She is now in straitened ecircumstances | and is therefore making an effort to se- cure her share of the partnership. Churchill's deposition is to be taken be- fore Judggl J. 8. Beard on January 8.

When the complaint was presented to Judge Fritz he hesitated to sign it, as be was not satisfled that a sea lion had a “leg,” but always understood it was called a flipper. Varrant Clerk Peery assured him that “leg” was the proper term to use, so he signed the complaint.
