The large amount of bag- gage from the trains is being handled in the best way possible, while express and mafls are still irregular. The wreck on the Santa Fe at Wasco has | been cleared, and now traffic from the north is meeting with no setback aside from the slow track in the recently washed-out districts, which causes ail trains to run from one to four hours The eastbound passenger trains are being held here from twelve to twenty hours before transferring passengera All freight traffic over the hill is at a com- plete standsti PASAD April 4—Since yesterday morning a succession of snowstorms have oceur on the higher mountain ranges back to Pasadena. At Alpine Tavern, on Mount Lowe, yesterday several inches of rain fell, and the fall was even heavier at Mount Wilson, where deep drifts formed. Late last evening the snow de- scended the mountain side and reached as far as Altadena, but the rain with which it was mixed melted it so rapldly that it did no damage. Early today there was another heav snowstorm on Mount Lowe and Mount Wilson, and the gray color until nearly noon. The snowfall on the range is sald been the heaviest of the season.

Miss Cunningham had just arisen and, fortunately, saw the tree begin to fall. She screamed to the other occupants of | the house, and all started to the door in the hope of escaping. They found the door locked, and try as they might in the short time at their disposal they could not get out. They ran into ‘a corner of the house just as the tree crashed through the roof. The tree fell directly over the doorway, and would certainly have killed the inmates had they been able to open the door. The btd on which Miss Cun- ningham had been reclining was smashed into kindling wood and the house is be- )nd repair. — e GUNBOAT PRINCETON HAS RETURNED TO SAN DIEGO | Reat of the Fleet Will Follow, Having Completed the Target Practice. SAN DIEGO, April 4.—At about 3 o'clock this afternoon the gunboat Prince. ton dropped avchor in the bay, the first ship of the Pacific squadron to return here from Magdalena Bay.

Manufactured by AMERICAN CIGAR COMPANY LEGAL VICTORY WON BY RUEF Attempt of Montana Rela- tives to Contest the Dele- traz Will Is Defeated ey Special Dispetch to The Call. HELXNA, Mont., April 4.—A decision of interest to heirs and administrators of estates was rendered by the Supreme Court today, whereby a San Francisco lawyer gains an important victory over a Montana woman. The question came up on application for a writ of prohi- bition against Judge Leslie, who sought to adjudicate a will executed and pro- bated in California. The will was drawn by G. F. Deletraz, a wealthy resident of Choteau County, who died in San Francisco. It was probated in San Francisco and A. Ruef was named executor, and letters testa- mentary were issued to him by the Su- preme Court of San Francisco. The will was later submitted in the District of Choteau County and a de- cree was given admitting it to probate. Some time after the proceeding, Mrs. C. N. Pray and other beneficiaries of the estate and one Mossholder, who also possessed a will of the deceased, filed notice of a contest of the Ruef will. To this proceeding Ruef demurred on the groung that the District Court of Choteau County had no jurisdiction to hear such contests. The demurrer wus overruled and the court proceeded to try the case, when a writ of prohibition was requested of the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court says the question for consideration is: “May a foreign will, after it has been admitted to pro- pate i this Statg, be contested in the courts of this State upon the ground that the testator. at the time of mak- ing such will, was not of sound, dispos- ing mind or was acting under duress, fraud or undue influcnce.” The opinion says: “We think that the questions of the testamentary capacity of the testator and his freedom fromn duress, fraud, misrepresentation or un- due influence when cxecuting the Ruef will are foreclosed by the decree of the California court and that the District Court of Choteau County Is without jurisdiction to inquire into them. The motion to quash the altérnative writ and dismiss ihe proceedings 1s over- ruled. Tt is ordered that the peremp- toery writ of prohibition be issued aec- | cording to the prayer of the petitioner.” ——————— CIRCUS HAND KILLED BY ENGINE IN SAN JOSE 19, Is Roy Davis, ® Youth of Crushed to Death by Locomotive, SAN JOSE, April £—Roy Davis, aged 19, an employe of the Norris & Rowe circus, was killed by a freight train ‘this afternoon at the Southern Pacific yards.
