Loss ora Great Gir. to San Fran cisco

The San Francisco Alta, Of November S,
says: Horace Hawes gave property worth
about 81, 900 600 for the establishment Of
several great educational institutions in
San Francisco and San Mateo. These
gifts were made partly by deed and part
ly by will. The will was set aside, be-
cause the jury did not believe he was
sane when he executed it; and now the
deed was void because it did not convey
the land at the time Of execution, but
gave it, reservipg life estate for the
0rantor. whereas, under the law then in
foroe, such a conveyance in the future
cauld not stand. So end the public in.

say that "in view Of the losses sustained by the
