Larkin was surprised that the

70 Probate Of Rasston's WIFI.
}. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 21st -
', Rslston's will was filed August 9TH
n The hearing of application for pro.
n bate was postponed this morning
d till the Goth. The fact came oul
IS to-day that no inventory of Rails.
!. toms estate has ever been filed in
II the Probate Court, though he died
.e over three years ago and 1t is usual
o to file wills within 80 days aftel
v death. This omission to file an in.
}. ventory of property is explained by
If counsel for the executors in this
v way: Before Ralston's death he
d made over all of his property to
}. William Sharon, giving him deed
u Of everything. In making an ap.
!. plicatiou to the Court for letters oil
o administration 1t was stated that,
e so far as was known, no property
existed. Consequently there was
t nothing to probate upon and no
. application for the settlement of
d the estate having been made, the
r matter remained iE the condition
In which it was left by the appoint
ment OF executors. But any one
who has claim against the late
w. g. Ralston may demand that
an inventary be produced and the
remnant of property left, if any,
may be thus ascertained.
