San Francisco" The same we're re-
ceived from England in connection with
the Blythe estate. They were rendered
by Mr., Searls to several attorneys, all
of whom decli ned to receive them, and
thus they came into Judge Coffey' s
hands to be given to some reputable at
torney.
The documents were forwarded from
Darlington, England, by w. X.
Wooeler, a solicitor, who. it appears.
was consulted by John, Charles Edward
and Joseph Pattison, claiming to be
cousins of Thomas II. Blythe. "for a
good claim to the deceased's estate. ="
These three Pattisons are survivors of
family Of eleven children of Mary
Blythe, who married Thomas Pattson in
1SOS, whose wife was the daughter of
George Blythe Q745l, who married
Mary Close (l777). The eldest brother
of Mary Pattison, nee Blythe, was AL
exander Blythe, who married (l799)
Mary Weaver and had two sons, James
Blythe and Thomas Blythe, the intes-
tate, all but the brother James and the
three cousins being dead as shown by
the pedigree chart.
JOHN MACKAY's CABIN.
When John w. Mackay built his
cabin, thirty-two years ago, at Alle-
ghany, Sierra county, he had no idea
that it would ever bring even the orig
inal cost if put up at auction.
Last Saturday at II o'clock there was
small crowd of side show and dime
museum managers congregated at
Easton q Eldridges auction rooms to
compete for the prize.
The cabin is not very beautiful to
look upon, and is facsimile of thou
sands that are scattered through the
mining towns of California and Nevada.
1t is built of rough hewn boards and
shakes The size is l0xl4. with two
small four-pane windows and space for
fire place at one end. The present
Crnsus must have lived alone, as there
is hardly room in the cabin for more
than one person to turn around in.
Engineer Schmidt, on recent visit
to Sierra City, heard of the cabin, and
had it taken down and shipped to this
city, thinking it would he good spec
ulation, and that possibly Mackay or
some of his friends would take it off his
hands at a fancy figure. But the friends
and Mackay did not appear on the
scene, and as the Snowman did not have
money enough to buy cabins at the pre-
vailing price, it was bid in at 81, 800 by
w. j. Kennedy for the owners. 1t is
the intention of the owners to place it
on exhibition here for few days and
then ship it east, where they expect
big things from the dime museums.
MISFIT CERTIFICATES.
The custom officers on Saturday
landed eighty certificate Chinese, the
last of the Abyssinia men. The mon
gos on the Abyssinia are the worst
that have been landed in this port, the
inspector being compelled to refuse to
land fifty of them. All these men
were supplied with "mistit" GER
titicates, but will now try to
land through the courts. One of
them, who measured over six feet in
height, had certificate which called
| for man five feet four inches, An
| other with grey hair and a face
! wrinkled with age, presented certiti-
| cate in which the description called for
a man of twenty-four years; while
shortly succeeding him Il boy of pos
| sibly sixteen years, presented a certiti-
| cate which five years ago had been
| granted to man of thirty-two.
NOTHING SECONDHAND.
When one of our early millionaires
was viewing the remains of his fortune
| and sacrificing all he possessed to the
unsympathetic management of the auc-
| tioneer, it was suggested to one of the
| bonanza princes that in the approach
| ing sale he would have a very good op-
| portunity to add to his art collection.
1T is very kind your advising me-" he
| answered, but my wife wouldn't care to
| have secondhand pictures about the
| place."
