Another Will Contested.

The epidemic of will contests which has
recently prevailed in this city, seems not
to have entirely subsidized yet. Yesterday,
in the matter of the estate of William At
kins, deceased, his widow, Catherine At
kins. filed contest of the will of her late
husband, and alleges that the writing on
file IN the Superior Court purporting to be
the will of deceased, was never at any time
or place executed according to law; that
he was not of sound mind that he was
under undue influence; that he never SUBJ
scribed the will that he never authorized
anyone else to subscribe it for him: that it
was never published as the law requires.
The attorney for contestant is Frank Ryan,
and Isaac Joseph represents the executor
named in the will. By the terms of the
will the widow is to receive all of the es-
tate, consisting of property of the value OF
about 81 900, except 81 500, which the ties.

AN OUTRAGE.
How Citizen was Treated for Doing
His Duty.

On the day of the city election w. H.
Jennings was acting as a special Deputy
Sheriff at the polling place on the corner
of Tenth and K streets, where Colonel Nc
Nasser was presiding as inspector of cleo
ton. Among the noisy men about the
window was ex-Justice VIM. Henley, who,
it is alleged, was drunk and disturbing the
peace and interfering with voters until Col
onel McNasser requested the officers to re-
move him. Jennings attempted to take
him away from the window, when Henley
resisted and attempted to strike Jennings
with his cane. He was then arrested by
the Deputy and taken down to the city
prison. Here Jennings was dissuaded from
prefeIring charge against Henley, and he
was discharged without being locked up.
Ga Thursday evening, just as Jennings
was about to sit down TO supper with his
family, an officer appeared and arrested
him on complaint sworn to by Henley,
charging him with false Imprisonment
He was permitted to eat his supper and
was then taken to the City Prison. He
asked 10 have an officer accompany him to
get bondsman, but the excuse was given
that the officers were engaged at the mas
querade ball. and there was no one to go
out with MIN. Although well-known
and respectable citizen, he was not
permitted to remain in the office
as is usual in such cases, until an officer
came in, but he was thrown into cell with
several bowling DRINKS, and compelled to
remain there for three hours and half
when officer Charles Rowland happened to
come in, to whom he appealed to go out
and find Henry Guthrie, and ask him to
come down and go on his bond The officer
found Mr. Guthrie, and he at once went to
the prison and offered to give the bond
but at this time Judge Buckley could not
be found, and Jennings was detained while
Guthrie went out to find the Judge While
he was absent the latter came in, and i'm
mediately told Jennings to go out and find
his bondsman. This he soon did, and they
returned to the prison, where the Judge
approved the bond, and Jennings was per
mitted to return to his family, who were in
the meantime in a state of great uneasiness
over his prolonged absence. The case
against Jennings will come up in the Po-
lice Court this morning The treatment of
this citizen, under all circumstances, is a
striking commentary on the present police
arrangements. and is another evidence of
how much reform is needed.

Nothing Like Courtesy.

1t costs a man nothing to be decent if il
is only in his nature, but it requires pow
erful effort on the part of some people and
even then they must be forced to it by the
law This fact was illustrated on X street
little before noon yesterday. One of the
O-street cars was coming up X street be-
tween Third and Fourth, when a large
truck backed up in front of place on the
south side of the street with load that
would require from twenty minutes to half
an hour to unload. Although the car had
already come to standstill the driver left
his team headed into the street and across
the track and descending to the sidewalk,
commenced to unload. The people on the
car were absolutely disguised when they
saw man connected with the place take
out his watch and permit the unloading to
proceed to within few seconds of the time
allowed by law before he directed the driver
to turn his team round so that the car
could pass. 1t would have been Just as
easy to have turned the horses in the first
place, and two or three persons in the car
would not have been Inconvenience by
the delay. OF course, as the car proceeded
on its trip uptown, cars were found
standing on the switches awaiting the ar
rival of the DELAYED car

An Important Importation of Fine
Cattle.

All important importation OF Fine
Cattle.
Colonel Joseph Combs, of Linneus, Mis-
souri,, arrived in this city yesterday, having
left Kansas City on Monday last. He has
on the road fifty head of thoroughbred
short-horns comprising Marys, Josephines,
Belmas and Verneses, which are to be sold
here though the day of the sale has not
yet been decided upon. These cattle are
said to be among the finest ever brought
into this State. the pedigree of each one
being certified to by the American Short
horn Association.
Colonel Combs is an enthusiast in regard
to California and her glorious climate.
He is stranger to most of our citizens
now, though he was well acquainted
here in early days, having resided here in
1854 and 1865. AT one time he was part
ner of Hon. David n. Hershey, of Yolo,
and he did large business in importing
and selling mules. He was a passenger on
the steamer Yankee Blade when she was
wrecked Oft the coast between Santa Bar
bara and Monterey, and was among those
who were rescued and landed at San Diego
by Captain Haley, afterwards coming to
San Francisco on the Brother Jonathan.
He delights in "reminiscences of these stir
ring days and will find much endowment in
talking over old times with friends whom
he has not met before in many years.
Colonel Combs says there are a great
many people in his section of country who
are making preparations to come to Cali
fornia and make their homes here

ILLEGAL VOTERS.
Getting After the Men Who Bought
Votes.

Getting After the Men Who Bought
Votes.
Nathan Sears and William Reddirg, who
pleaded guilty to having attempted to vote
illegally, were yesterday sentenced by JUS
tice c. n. Post to pay fine of $3.50 or go to
the County Jail for $50 days So far both
have accepted the latter alternative, and if
they board out the full account with the
court.y they will not vote at the Presiden-
tial erection.
Oscar W. Stafford, the man from Ell
Dorado county, who attempted to vote ille-
gally, was discharged, as John We'll, who
made the arrest, did not care to prosecute
him under the circumstances. 1t appeared
that there were mitigating circumstances
in the case, and that the young man, whose
name was on the Great Register, really
supposed he had right to vote.
The most important step taken thus far
in the matter of breaking up the purchas-
ing OF votes was the arrest yesterday of
Fred W. Gibson, of the Lafayette Saloon,
charged with having influenced Frank
Abbott 10 vote illegally at the election on
Tuesday. Abbott was arrested and taken
before Justice of the Peace Post, where he
admitted his guilt and was held to answer
before the Superior Court. When first
taken before the Court he stated that he
had been paid 81 for his vote, but claimed
that he did not know the name of the
man who paid him the money. Since
then he has stated that it was Gibson, and
the latter was arrested yesterday and taken
before Justice of the Peace Davis. He de-
manded jury trial, and the case was SET
for hearing on Tuesday next

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.
New Buildings Being Erected and Others
Proposed.


Sacramento is growing steadily III siz7
population and wealth. The new CATHOLIC
Cathedral in course of erection at Eleventh
and X will be the finest edifice of that char
acter on the coast and the new Govern
ment building proposed on the corner of
Seventh and K will be the finest public
building in the State outside of San Fran
cisco. Both of these buildings will cost a
quarter of million dollars each.
Last fall the Capital Hotel, Seventh and
k, enlarged their establishment az a cost of
over $4,000.
John Breuner, in the same block, men
ton of which was made some days ago, is
rebuilding the southeast corner of Sixth
and X and will erect two-story brick with
over 100 feet frontage on K extending to
the alley, 100 feet, which in solidity and
architectural finish will have no superior
in this city.
The Golden Eagle Hotel property is also
to be enlarged and improved by the addi-
ton of 81 feet frontage on K street, which
will give it 20 additional rooms, and then
this house will have $50 first class rooms.
The addition will occupy the ground now
used as a cigar store by s. Ginsberg. 1t
will be finished after the style of the rest of
the frontage giving the Golden Eagle 131
feet on X. with depth of 100 feet
Directly west of the Golden Eagle prop
erty, adjoining the lot to be built upon, as
above stated, Ingram q Bird propose erect
ing two-story brick, with 20 feet frontage
and depth of 160 feet. The first floor will
be Is feet to the ceiling, with iron and plate
glass front. The second floor will have IS
feet ceiling and depth of 40 feet. The

Murray, and the building is to be com
pleted by the 1st day of May, when it will
be occupied by Ingram & Bird with an
entirely new stock of furniture. carpets and
upholstery. The Golden Eagle addition
Will be built at the same time and their
fronts will be alike.
Just around the corner, on Sixth street
between X and L, fine two-story brick is
being erected for the Hays Hook and Lad
der Truck.
William Land, proprietor of the Western
Hotel, is building extensively in the rear
of his hotel. He is putting up a four-story
and basement brick structure, 40 by CO.
which will give him forty additional family
rooms, all high ceilings, light and airy,
fireplace in each, with closets and all mod
ern improvements. This Improvement in.
GLIDING the furnishing, will cost $50, 900,
and will give the Western Hotel over 300
rooms.
Stelnman Brothers are putting the finish
ing touches on their two-story brick on the
south side OF j, between Fourth and Fifth
streets. The first floor is divided into two
store rooms, with elegant glass fronts. The
upper story is finished off into rooms. and
has bay windows projecting over the side
walk. 1t is one of the handsomest struct-
ures on street.
