SAN Francisco, June 26.-A will con-
test Of more than ordinary interest is likely
to arise over the estate Of Moses @. Howell,
over whose corpse aud burial there was .
quarrel a few days ago. Howell died in
the Broadway Lodging-house, where, dur
ing the last weeks of his life. he was con-
tinually under the influence Of liquor. 1t
is alleged that when in that condition he
was induced to make . will, and this docu-
ment has been filed in the Probate Court,
together with q petition for letters OF ad-
ministration by John Wade. The will
bequeaths So, 900 in cash and 81, 900 in the
shape of a note to Mrs. Ireland, lsndlady
of the clearinghouse where Howell lived .
few weeks previous to his death. The real
estate owned by deceased, and situated in
Brooklyn, N. Y, is to 60 to Silverton
Mott, a resident of that city. John Wade's
clerk comes in for . legacy Of q few hun-
dred dollars, presumably as q reward in
assisting to draw the will. John Wade,
nominated executor, is an attorney OF law
In Montgomery Block. The testator's sig
nature to the will is peculiar. The persons
signing it made two attempts to write
Moses q. Howell. He failed in the first
instance, producing only an illegible
scrawl. The second signature is palmer.
The hand writing Of these signatures must
have been guided. Philip A. Roach, Pub
lie Administrator, has also fled o petition
for special letters, giving as reasons that
decedent's brothers will contest the will
which has been offered for probate. The
hearing Of these applications are set for
July II.

ciated Press special says: By order Of
Gen. Crook the Indians Of San Carlos were
called to meet the returned Chiricahuas
and give their views in regard to their re-
naming on the reservation. The SUBJ
stance Of the captive chiefs remarks were:
Glad to get back on the agency and be
under the protection Of Gen. Crook, and
settle down and be good Indians, as they
had promised the General; also saying
that they had no friends at San Carlos, and
want to go to Apache and BIO with friends
who would not talk about them. The tone
Of the speeches of the captive chiefs
showed that they realized the hostilities Of
the agency Indians, whose silence in the
