CHICAGO, Jan. 18.—The La Strain Hotel, a seven-story apartment hotel at 3535 El- lis street, was practically destroyed by fire to-da Sixty women and children wére in the building when the flames were discovered. About balf of them were on the top floor at luncheon and they were thrown into a panic. Otto Bola, the elevator boy, however, succeeded in making several trips through the smoke and flames, and carried all of them to safety.

SANTA ROSA, Jan. 18.—Judge Burnett this evening handed down an opinion granting Cora L. Wickersham a ‘trial in her contest against the heirs of the late L G. Wickersham .to prevent the dis- tribution of the Wickersham estate. The case was recently heard and Judge Bur- nett declared that Mrs. Wickersham had no standing in court. The court: reversed itself upon the showing made by Attor- neys Francis J. IHeney and William F. Cowan, an important feature of the ar- gument being that certain representations made to the late Frank P. Wickersham of Fresno, whereby he was induced to re- nounce his right to both his father’s and mother’s estates for the sum of $28,000, were not based upon fact. Another point | involved was that in signing away his in- terest in mother’s estate Frank Wickersham was disposing of something that existed only as an expectancy. e State Enters a Legal Battle. MILWAUKEE, Jan. 18.—The State of ‘Wisconsin has taken a hand in the legal battle which is being waged between Bay- fleld County and the recelver for the Washburn, Bayfield and Iron River Rall- road and the State authorities will en- deavor to prevent the tearing up of the railroad. Attorney General Hicks this afternoon appeared before Judge Jenkins of the United States Circuit Court and presented a petition asking that the State of Wisconsin be allowed to appear in the proceedings. The grounds of the petition are that the railroad is a public right, de- riving its charter from the State and that | no orders should be allowed for fits re- moval without the State being given a ' hearing.
