POVERTY AND FAILING SIGHT MAKE LIFE UNBEARABLE TO HIM Ernest Tracey, Destitute and Estranged From His Father, Who Is a Wealthy Lumber Dealer of Shasta County, Writes Note to Young Woman He Loves and Swallows Carbolic Acid fo=- . Miss Hufford. Then his financial troubles worried him the more. He found himself without money this week, and the culmi- ration of all was the failing of his sight. When he found himself threatened with blindness he could stand it no longer. The Smith family did not try to waken him this morning until 10 o’clock. Then they decided to see if he might not be sick. But his room was empty. On the table was a note addressed to Miss Huf- ford, saying that when she received it the writer would be dead, and signed with his name. S. P. Smith, the son of the gentleman with whom Tracey lived, and Charles Hufford, the brother of the young lady to whom the note was addressed, made a round of the jails and Morgue and final- ly went to the Receiving Hospital looking for him. At the Recelving Hospital they found Tracey. He had been found in a lot on the corner of Fallon and Twelfth streets this morning at an early hour and sent to the hospital. He was unconscious when found, and the only thing in his pockets was a stamp photograph of Miss Hufford. i]_‘?c doctors hope to be able to save his ife. Tracey drank fully an ounce of the pois- on, enough, the hospital surgeons say, to kill five men. The vial that contained the fluid was picked up this afternoon in the lot where his unconscious form was found.

Os- good, one of the leading citizens of Washington Township, was found dead in his orchard last night about 10 o’clock. Mr. Osgood left his home last evening at about 5 o'clock. He did not return to dinner, but the family was not alarmed until 9 o'clock, at which hour he had not | returned. It was thought that he had i gone to Irvington on some business. But | when § o’clock came Mrs. Osgood went to the home of her n-in-law, Thomas Witherly, and togeth® they instituted a search. The body was found in the or- chard, where the old man dropped, prob- ably from heart disease. The body was cold when found and there were no signs of a struggle. g Mr. Osgood was a pioneer of Washing- ton Township. He came from Maine In 1852 and went_to Centerville, a settiement near the old Mission San Jose, where he worked until 1857. He then returned to Maine and married, returning to Califor- nia the same year. He secured posses- slon of 100 acres of land near Centerville and planted the orchard in which he died. From time to time Mr. Osgood added to his holdings until at the time of his death he was the owner of 1000 acres of the finest land in Washington Tognship, making him one of the largest lafldown- ers in that section. The funeral will take place Sunday. Mr. Osgood was a member of the Odd Fellows, Workmen and Grangers and a charter member of the Washington Township Pioneer Assoclation. The deceased leaves a widow and one child, Mrs. Thomas Witherly of Center- ville. A brother, Augustus Osgood of Blue Hill, survives. Superior Judge Angel- lotti of Marin County and County Sur- veyor Atherton of San Joaquin County are nephews, as are F. 8. and H. D. Os- good, the Oakland druggists. Assembly- man J. W.

HEIRS QUARREL - WITH EXECUTOR H. M. Sanborn Ceases to Manage Hutchinson Estate. OAKLAND, May 17.—In order to protect his own and his children’s interests from the demands of the other heirs of the late Elizabeth Hutchinson, Henry M. Sanborn has resigned his position as trustee of the estate in order thatin the event of a forced sale of the property he may bid it in. He could not legally do so were he acting as executor. Sanborn’s wife was a daughter of Mrs. Hutchinson, who died in 1888, leaving Eroperty to the amount of over $100,000. In er will, which gave a legacy of $10,000 to Sanborn and $3000 each to his two chil- dren, she named her son-in-law as execu- tor, together with Judge F. B. Ogden. In his petition to the court to be allowed | to resign Mr. Sanborn states that the Eastern heirs wished to realize at once on their bequests, and became increasingly discontented with the action of the ex- ecutors in holding the property for more favorable market conditions. The Eastern heirs figally went so far as to send a rep- resentative to the coast with power of at- torney to investigate the conduct of the executors. The attorney, says Mr. San- born, went oyer the matter in detall and expressed himself as satisfied that_the es- tate was being properly handled. In spite of this the attorney filed, as soon as he reached New York, a petition in the Pro- bate Court asking for an immediate sale gfllhe property and a distribution to the eirs. Mr, Sanborn says that a forced sale of the property would serlously injure his and his children’s interests. He desires to be able to protect himself as far as possi- ble by bidding at the sale, and for that reason filed his petition. Judge Melvin accepted the resignation, thus leaving Judge Ogden to manage the | estate alone and leaving Mr. Sanborn to act simply in his capacity as one of the heirs to protect himself from loss by a sale at an unfavorable time. RANKS HILGARD WITH WORLD’'S SCIENTISTS Work of Berkeley Professor Praised by United States Department of Agriculture. BERKELEY, May 17.—H. W. Wiley of the United States Department of Agricul- ture has placed Professor E. W. Hilgard, dean of the College of Agriculture at Berkeley, in the foremost rank of those who are carrying on research in his line of work in the world. In an article to the university authorities Mr. Wiley says: The work of Professor E. W. Hilgard mus be mentioned as being of fundamental {mpor. tance in the development of the relation of chemistry to agriculture in this country. 5 fessor Hilgard, in his classical work on solls, has placed himself in the front rank of inves: tigators on this subjéct, not only in, this country, but in the world, and his o ments have been recognized both by his coun- trymen and by the most celebrated socleties of Europe. A knowledge of the sofl and its relation to plant growth constitutes one of the fundamental principles of agricultural chém- istry, and the researches of ssor Hi in this line have done much to place agricul- ture in the United States on a strictly sclen- tific basis. ¥ IND. MARRIAGE A5 NOT LEAL Couple Make Discov- ery Atter Fifteen Years. Woman Seeks Companion’s Arrest and Learns She Is Not a Wife, ALAMEDA, May 17.—Mrs, Mary Perry came in from Bay Farm Island this morn- ing to get a warrant for her husband’s arrest, and she wound up by getting a _marriage license for him. For fifteen years Mrs. Perry has labored under the delusion that she was Mrs. Antone Perry, bona fide, and it was only her anxiety 1o have her better half put into jail that disclosed to her the fact that she was mistaken. The discovery was as great a surprise to the man in the case as it was to the women, but he was not so mon- plused but that he could take advantage of the dilemma, and he lost no time in using it as a bludgeon to get himself out of trouble. Fifteen years ago Antone Perry thought he married Miss Mary Montell ‘and Miss Mary_Montell thought she married An- tone Perry. A priest performed the mar- riage ceremony. Perry was in extremis at that time and the marriage was done up in a hurry, but for some reason, known only to himself, the husband did not die. In fact he has lived to be blessed with seven children, whose ages range from 6 to 14 years. Lately, however, the Perrys have not lived happily together. They have had frequent quarrels, and sometimes the fur- niture took wings. The climax of a series of squabbles came this morning when Mrs. Perry packed her things and came to town, determined to have her husband arrested on a charge of battery. She told Justice Morris that her husband had abused her. The Justice asked the woman a few questions and in the course of the dialogue it developed that Mrs. Perry had been married without the formality of securing a license, making the wedding idvalid. Justice Morris told the woman that the only way out of her dilemma was to get married again. The husband came in at this juncture and was told all about it. Perry told his wife that the only condi- tions under which he would marry her again were that she agree not to Lave him arrested and to be docile in the fu- ture. Mrs. Perry saw the force of the argument and acquiesced. Then the cou- le went to Oakland for a license, came guk and this afternoon were married by Justice Morri TEACHERS TO ASK FOR INCREASE IN WAGES Members of Berkeley School Depart- ment Desire Twelve Months’ Pay Instead of Eleven. BERKELEY, May 17.—The teachers -of the local public schools are organizing to petition the Boatd of Directors for an in- crease of salary. At present they are drawing cleven months’ salary, but they will ask for twelve. Some three years ago a general cut in wages was made and the petition asks to have the old standard re- instated. The Directérs as a body. are now opposed to an increase in wages and unless a change in opinion takes place the petition will not be granted. An inerease of one month's salary throughout the entire corps of teachers would amount to several thousands of dollars. e Joint Picnic of Sunday-Schools.
