Three men from Maple street went
up to GOss Hollow last Thursday
blackberrying and got into an alter
cation with Mr.. Billion, who was out
shooting crows. They set upon him,
knocked him down, took away his
gun and otherwise maltreated him.

THE JACOB G. HOVEY HEARING.

Much interest has been manifested
in the hearing before the probate
court asking for the removal of
Hon Jacob G. Hovey from the trus-
teeship of the Alanson Aldrich estate.
Judge Hovey was defended by Ide
& Quimby and Bates & May repre-
sented the estate. Judge Hovey was
appointed trustee of the whole
estate by the will of Alanson Aldrich
and has administered the estate as
trustee for the last nine years. The
heir, Clinton Aldrich, asked for the
removal of the trustee. claiming that
there had been misfeasance in the
performance of his duties. Judge
HOvey has been a town officer, cOun-
ty judge, is president of the Citizens
bank and prominent citizen of this
| place. After a critical examination
the court announced his decision on
Tuesday morning, which was in
substance that when Judge Hovey
amounted to the real estate, and
! $1S, ,523.5 So in personal estate; that
it now amounts to the real estate
and SIS, ,S23.5S in personal estate
and that not dollar had been lost
that the heirs family had been sup
ported and the personal estate
mistakes had occurred in the book
keeping, they were no more than
frequently occurred in the accounts
of administrators, executors, truS-
tees and guardians; that it did not
appear that the estate had suffered
from them or that there had been
any intentional wrong doing and
that the trustee ought not to be
removed. The court ruled, however,
that hereafter Judge Hovey should
keep his private business separate
and not mix it with the estate.
The hearing has been severe trial
for Mr.. HOvey and all things cOnsid-
cred the dec1S1On seems to be pru-
dent one. No more mistakes are
likely to occur and we believe Judge
Hovey has been punished enough by
this trial.
The courts decision has been very
freely discussed on all sides, some
criticizing it severely. Everything
considered many of Mr. Hovey's
friends, who have perfect faith in his
honesty, think he ought to resign.
1t has been hard position for the
court and if anyone thinks it has
erred it could well be said to that
one, put yourself in his place and then
see what you would have done.

ARRESTED IN NEW YORK.
A Millionalre's Son Charged with
Crima CnmmItied Here.

A Nillionaire's Son Charged with n
Crime Committed Here.
A dispatch was received yesterday by
Chief of Police Crowley from New York
announcing the arrest of Simon Sulzburger
Sulzburgor is young man who recently
came to San Francisco via Panama, and
while on the steamer San Bias became in
timately acquainted with the purser and
was allowed to run bills for liquor and
cigars at the bar. On his arrival in this city
he was accommodated with a room in the
purser's house on Bush street.
A day or two later Simon strOlled down
to the steamer to have friendly conversa-
ton with the officers, but went only as far
as the purser's room, where lie saw piled up
in little sacks S350i in gold. The temptation
to pocket the money unseen and escape
was too strong for him, aud he fled with it
to his home in New York. knowing that
his home is in New York, the purser tele-
graphed to the detective department there
and was quickly informed that he was in
his old haunts.
SulZburger is the son of a millionaire
brewer, but is said to have disgraced his
family, which was only too anxious to be
rid of him. lie was sent away TO California,
but returned deeper in the mine than ever,
which so annoyed his father that the police
were informed they might take Simon and
do their level best to domicie him in San
Quentin for few years. Accordingly de-
tectve was dispatched for the young man,
is understood, will be relentless and ener-
gelic, so Simon stands a good chance OF hav-
ing to keep out OF his relatives way for
some time to come,
