LAWYERS ENGAGE IN WORDY WAR | McEnerney and Wheeler Indulge in Rare Sarcasm. Invitation to Lunch Makes the Sanford Trial a Lively One. Sl e An invitation to lunch extended by At- torney Charles 8. Wheeler to Attorney Garret McEnerney yesterday in the Pro- bate Court led to an exchange of words that though uttered in the nicest of tones were ample evidence that considerable feeling existed. Both men are Regents of the University of California, and to the fact that both were desirous of attending the exercises at Berkeley yesterday aft- ernoon is due the exchange of courtesies. The feeling displayed was due to the fact that both are attorneys in the suit of Charles E. Sanford to remove the ex- ecutors of the estate of his aunt. Wheeler represents Sanford and McEnerney the executors. The exchange occurred just at noon, when McEnerney asked for a continu- ance, saying that he desired to take the 1 o’clock boat for Berkeley. “I should like to have this matter go on a half-hour longer,” said Wheeler. “I, too, am desirous of catching the 1 o’clock boat for Berkeley.” “Well,” sald McEnerney, “I do not care to lose my lunch and would like a contin- uance at this time.” ‘Wheeler turned toward McEnerney and informed him that he could get a good lunch on the ferry, and, ‘“Mr. McEner- ney,” he said, “I should be pleased to have you as my guest.” McEnerney raised his eyes slightly, and very much to the surprise of Wheeler, although not greatly to the surprise of those who have followed the Sanford case since its commencement, said: “I do not care to take lunch on the boat, Mr. Wheeler. Neither do I desire to be your guest.” Wheeler flushed and bit his lip and then replied: “Rest assured, Mr. McEnerney, you shall never again receive an invita- tion from me.” The court adjourned, thus preventing any further exchange of words. —_———————— ) HOSPITAL STEWARD HAS A ROUGH EXPERIENCE Crowd on Market Street Tries to Force Him to Take Patient Against His Will.

After hardly twenty-four hours of wedded bliss pretty Mrs. Otto Rosen- strater-of 120 Gilbert street attempted her life yesterday morning by draining a vial of carbolic acid with sulcidal intent. The young matron, Wwho ‘was Miss Maud Stack, was wedded to Otto Rosenstrater Monday afternoon by a Justice of the Peace in Oakland, and after the event returned to this city with her husband. Nothing transpired to mar the happiness of the newly wedded couple until yester- day morning, when, it is understood, Ed- ward Stack, father of the young bride, reproached her for her marriage. A few minutes after the war of words between father and daughter Maud went to her room and quaffed the death-deal- ing potion. Her sister was attracted by her cries and found her writhing on the bed in great agony. Dr. C. H. Taylor was summoned, and by the use of heroic measures saved the life of the would-be suicide, although she is still in a critical condition. ————————— Pickpockets Work in Crowds.

He alleges that he wanted a settlement with his creditors and employed Friedlander, who on April 25 got $125 from him on the representa- tion that it was necessary to deposit that amount with the Board of Trade for the benefit of his creditors. The money, Goldenrath alleges, was never deposited with the Board of Trade. Friedlander was arrested and released on $0 cash bail. . there would be no more establishments of rural free delivery service until July 1, the beginning of the next fiscal year.

Kleinclaus respectively brother and sister of the late Hyppolite Dutard, who for the last two years have been engaged in a legal battle for ghe Dutard fortune with Eliza Dutard, widow of the deceased, dropped a bomb- shell in the widow’s camp yesterday by withdrawing their petition for the revoca- | tion of the order admitting their brother's will to probate. The withdrawal came as surprise, as the battle they waging is a bitter one. The withdrawal, | however, is not a surrender, but simply | a shrewd move on the part of Attorney | Charles J. Heggerty, their legal adviser. | Heggerty will in the future carry on the | fight outside the Probate Court, and will | seek to recover for his clients by means of suits in equity, five of which are now pending before Judge Seawell. The Dutard fortune was founded by Bernard Dutard, who was for years a prominent produce and commission mer- chant in this city. He died several years ago, leaving an estate worth $600,000. He left no will, and his estate, which con- sisted principally of his produce business, went to his widow and four children. Mrs. Dutard died intestate a short time after Fer husband, and the children, among whom was Hyppolite, got her share. Hyppolite, it is said by the others, took unto himself, under an agreement, the management of his father’s business, his brothers and sisters receiving therefrom their share of the income. This continued until 1898, when Hyppolite got married. It is said that the arrangement continued in effect until 1900, when he died. Then came strife, for he left a will, leaving his wealth entirely to his widow, who there- upon assumed control of the business, claiming that her husband was the sole owner. The estate at this time was worth $4,000,000. The brothers and sisters disputed the claim of the widow and commenced the contest of the will which was dismissed | vesterday, claiming in their contest that the deceased had built up his fortune from the business left by his father, and | in which they each held an equal interest. Five suits in equity were also flled with the contest, the plaintiff in each, being an heir-at-law of the elder Dutard, suing for a complete have been a one-fifth interest in the estate. These suits® will now be prosecuted to final judgments. —_———————————— Prisoners Are Sentenced. Henry Kracht pleaded sguilty to a charge of burglary in Judge Cook's court yesterday and was sentenced to serve two years in San Quentin. He was formerly employed as a clerk in the No Percentage Pharmacy, at M9 Market street, and on March 22 broke into the store and stole a Jot of articles.
