SAN JOSE, Aug. 14—That the Bollinger | will case, which occupied seven weeks of the time of Judge Hylard's court last winter and resulted in a disagreement, | wilF require much attention by the judi- | clery of this county during the coming autumn and winter is evidenced by filings being made in the County Clerk’s office. David R. Bollinger, through his attor- ney, to-day filed an amended answer and cross complaint to the suit of Mary A. L. Bollinger against G. Y. Bollinger, in which he makes himself a party to the suit to recov from his brother part of the proper held by him from the estate of their father, Christian Bollin- ger. Christian Bollinger, a pioneer resident of this county, dled more than a year ago. leaving a large estate. He left to Mary Bollinger, his second wife, property which he considered sufficient to satisfy her, and the balance, upward of $200,000, he deeded to his son, George. It is claimed by his brothers and sisters that this was to be divided equally among them after the death of the father. These five were the children*of his first wife, The legal action taken thus far has been on the part of the heirs of the second wife only, to obtain a portion of the Geeded to George. 2 The brother, David, and a sister, Mrs. Pullan, declare that George does not intend to keep faith with them, and they ask the court to compel him to obey the injunc- tion of his father and give them the one- fifth due each of them. ¥ CANADIAN SALMON BOATS ARE SEIZFD Captured While Fishing in American Waters Adjacent to Bel- ling] Bay. VANCOUVER, B. C, Aug. 1i—Five boats were seized last might and three more of the Canadian salmon fleet on the Fraser River were captured American fishery protection officers of Puget Sound.

NAPA, Aug. 14.—John Graham of the Veterans' Home at Yountville has been charged with the murder of James Cough- lin, a comrade, who died last Saturday. James Turner, a friend of Coughlin, swore to the complaint before Justice Caldwell. The defendant is confined in the County Jail and his preliminary examination will be held on Thursday, August 15. | Coroner Kyser of this eIty held an in- quest at the home on Monday afternoon. It was shown that on the evening in ques- tion (August 3) Coughlin, James Turner and Levi Higgins went to Mrs. Voltz's place and met there three other veterans —John Graham, Maurjce McDonald and A. Hearne. They had W1 been drinking, | and a row took place inside the wine cel- | lar between Graham and Hearne. They | were separated, and Coughlin and Gra- | ham went outside to settle it.

Bl |20 Declare the Late Recluse Fled From Texas to Escape Hanging. Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Aug. 14—At Colfax to-day a sensation was sprung over the estate of Joseph Conatser, a wealthy bachelor her- mit and stock grower, who died in the Walla Walla Hospital last April. A will purporting to have been signed by Conat- ser on April 10 of this year, by which he left $10,000 to the hospital in which he died and the remainder to his brother and sis- ter, provided they be found in six months, was filed for probate and a contest re- sulted. Henry Douglas, one of the contestants, makes the sensational clalm that the de- ceased was W. Douglas, who had killed a man in Dallas, Tex., soon after the close of the war of the Rebellion, and who fled to Washington Territory and changed his name to Joseph Conatser. Douglas claims that Conatser, or Douglas, had as an accomplice a man named Gil- liam. Gillfam was captured. found guilty and sentenced to the penitentiary for life, | but escaped and came to Washington Ter- | ritory, where he joined his partner in crime’'and was afterward pardoned. La- ter he returned to Texas and was shot and killed by John Chowning, Marshal of ‘Whiteright. Marion Baker, a ploneer, who came to \vhitman Counfy twenty-nine years ago and tcok a homestead near that of Conat- ser, and was as intimately acquainted | with the latter as any one ever became, ys Gilllam was with Conatser when me there, but left the country in 1874, having sold his claim, and was never seen there again. Baker says Conatser always kept a horse saddled and bridled near his door in early days, and told him that he was on the lookout all the time and that a coyote could not come on the ranch without him seeing it. Conatser was well educated and took many papers and magazines. He came to Colfax thirty-five vears ago, when but few white settlers had arrived, and lived the life of a hermit in a log cabin. He did his own cooking. He accumulated property, and at the time of his death had 2500 acres of fine land and large num- bers of Hlooded cattle and horses, with other property, of a total value of $90,000 to_$100,000. Eight lawyers and thirty witnesses, most of the latter being neighbors of Con- atser, are in attendance at the - trial, which is being hotly fought. The con- testants are trying to show that Conataer s unconscious when the Walla Walla i was aigned,Af indeed he signed it at szt all.

A HERO OF PEKING | | Daughter of Colonel Mordecai Weds | vari-colored incandescent lights festoon | | BOSSES ARE FIGHTING _ IN THEIR OWN CAMP Knives Already Out for Kelly——lnferiot‘ Henchmen Apprehend an Unequal Division of - Boodle. HE political bosses are already fighting among themselves for the spoils of victory. The boast- ing of success at the primary had hardly begun when the smaller bosses of the alliance, suspecting that Kelly might become arrogant and dicta- torial in the division of the boodle, drew their knives for his undoing. It is satd that Kelly met their assaults with a prompt declaration that he had gone to the front in the battle and proposed to keep what he had won. He recognized the sly politiclans who were seeking to break his leadership in the boss camp as the brush workers who were out of sight when the battle was on, but who quickly sprang from cover when the fight was won. The small bosses are envious of Kelly and condemn the newspapers for making him the subject of political car- toons. Bosses of an inferlor grade such as John Lynch, Eddie Conroy, Jere Burke, Johnny Mackenzie and others, who were identified with the touts in the prolonged Senatorial struggle want to be exalted as statesmen who were conspicu- ous in the primary election contest, but Kelly tells them to hold their place and restrain their zeal until he gives them orders. Several of the underlings are irnclined to be snarly and vicious in speaking of Kelly, asserting that the chief boss can- not organize the convention without their assistance. If a dose of discipline ba- comes necessary Kelly will round them up in public and administer it, as he ad- ministered the dose at the Grand Hotel the evening that the San Francisco dele- gation to the Legislature met at the Pal- ace and indorsed *‘Corney” Pendieton for Speaker. At that time Kelly took a cen- tral position and indicated to his hench- men that they should apprcach him singly and salute, and every one of them kow-towed to him in a public bar-room. Martin Kelly stands for nearls every- thing that is debasing, corrupt and vicious in the political system, but he does not stand for any purity frills on the part of politicians who are as vulner- able, but not as courageous, as himself, He goes to the head of his ticket and challenges the better elements of the Re- publican party to fight him in the open. He betrays his party for boodle and sells nominaticns for coin. His revutation is Jjudicially appraised at $l—which is 100 cents more than at least one of his as- sociates could recover in a slander suit. With all of his political vices the people them as one buys cattle. He sells dele- gations to nominating conventions as one sells merchandise. At this time the ques- tion agitating the boss camp is whether he can deliver the goods that he effers to sell. Saved by Democrats. The Republican Municipal Convefition will meet on Monday, September 16. Boss Kelly’s generalship in marshaling the Democratic push under the immediate command of Rainey, Maxwell and Greaney defeated the Republican Primary League. The Democratic reinforcement was all that saved the allied Republican bosses from utter defeat and confusion. In the Forty-fourth District, where Abe Ruef, representing the Primary League, fought the pluckiest battle ever seen in the political arena of San Francisco, the Democrats who voted for their own party ticket numbered less than one hundred. The returns practically establish the fact that Kelly and Rainey were forced to come the immense Republican vote cast for Mr. Ruef. All the energies of the allied bosses were combined to defeat Ruef beczuse he was the leader whose presence in the convention they most feared. According to declaration made before the Republican State Central Com- mittee at Golden Gate Hall, Mr. Ruef will suppert the Republican municipal ticket if it be mnot absolutely debasing, and despite his defeat he will doubtless keep his word. It is probable, however, that voters who did not participate in the pri- mary election for delegates to the conven- tion are reserving the right to vote against all boss-tainted candidates. The Call will cheerfully assist in the good work of indicating the boss labels on the candidates, so that the ‘“gogd citizens” who did not vote at all at e primary may gain absolution by voting rignt at the general election.

Special Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Aug. 14—A. C. Little, State Fish Commissioner, is commencing to get results from scientific expertments con- ducted during the last four years, with the object of ascertaining what propor- tion of young salmon turned out by the State fish hatcheries return every fourth year to their spawning grounds. He has procured numerous fish tails from Co- lumbia River fishermen which bear cer- taln marks placed upon them before the fish were set loose at the Kalama hatch- ery. These fish are spawn of the sal- mon caught in 1897, and are, therefore, four years old. None of the talls were obtained in previous years, again prov- ing that salmon return only every fourth vear. The fact that the run of salmon on the Columbia River has been unexpect- €dly large this year is believed to have been due almost entirely to the great number of fish turned out by the Wash- ington hatcherles on streams tributary to the Columbia. Several of these hatch- eries have not been established long enough to get direct returns in the form of marked tails. PROSPECTIVE CHANGES IN THE NAPA ASYLUM Board Defers Acticn on a Motion to Supersede Steward J. M. Palmer. NAPA, Aug. 14.—At the regular meeting of the board of managers of the Napa State Hospital Manager Swain of Santa Rosa moved that G. W. Nichois of this city be appointed to the position of stew- ard, to succeed J. M. Palmer, who has neld the place since the Napa institution was opened. Action was deferred until August 20, at which time the board ex- pects to get an opinion from Attorney General Ford upon a legal question ag to its power to make such appointment. Swain contends that Palmer has filled out his term of four years as steward, as pro- vided by the constitution, and that a vacancy exists. He is making a strong effort to get Nichols appointed. Nichols 1s a son-in-law of John F. Zoll- ner of Napa, who has been a prominent figure in the politic# of Napa County for the last thirty years. ‘There has been a great deal of guessing of late as to proposed removals at the asylum. All the members of the board are Republican, viz: Dr. E. Z. Hennessey, E. E. Washburn, Lew Martin, F. W, Bush and C. R. Swain. Messrs. Bush and Swain entered upon their duties only two months ago. ONE-ARMED BOY SAVES TWO FROM DROWNING Bravely Rescues Comrades From Death in the Waters of Kern River. BAKERSFIELD, Aug. 14.—Wesley Gri- jalva, a one-armed clerk in the employ of Supervisor Shaffer, saved two boys from drowning in Kern River yesterday after- noon. _Grijalva, accompanted by George Carrere and John Galvin, drove over the new road to the oil fields. Upon reaching the river they drove in at a point which was supposed to be shallow, but the horse went out of sight and the boys were thrown from the buggy. which was over- turned. Grijalva was the only one of the party that could swim. Despite the fact that he had but one arm, he succeeded in getting the boys to thé bapk. The harse was taken from the river with considerable difficulty. Still More Counterfeiting.
