Francisco Yndart Declared
to Be a Sane Man.
His Divorce Suit Against His
Wife to be Tried.
A Vain Attempt to Secure the Release
of Kong.
The Fellow Who Shot at Auble Re-
manded to Jail-Notes OF Cases Acted
Upon Yesterday-New Com
plants Filed.

The hearing OF the petition OF Leonard
Labory to be appointed guardian of the
person and estate of Francisco Yndart,
alias "Pancho' Coronel, an alleged in
competent, was continued yesterday
before Judge Shaw, sitting for Judge
Clark in department two. The con-
testant put on his side of the case
yesterday, the petitioner having had the
floor the day before, and the following
Witnesses were examined: Samuel
Hamilton, Samuel Prayer, Daniel Ke-
vane, H. 7. Gage, III. q. Abila, M. G.
Aguirre. j. W. Temple and Mayor Haz-
ard. They all knew Yndart, and while
they considered him to be the possessor
of a rather weak disposition, they
thought him perfectly sane and capable
OF taking care of himself without as
sistance. The testimony showed that
use of stimulants, and that while under
the influence of liquor, which was pretty
often, his actions might be mistaken for
those of an insane man.
After hearing all of the testimony
offered, the court decided to deny the
petition for the appointment of guar
dian. Had the petition been granted,
Yndart would have been barred from
prosecuting the divorce case which he
has commenced against his wife, but as
it is that case will now come up for trial.
Don Antonio Coronel disclaims having
used any undue influence over Yndart,
or having deprived him of his liberty.
He has taken some part in the case as a
relative of the young man, to see that
his rights were not trampled upon, but
beyond that he is not personally inter-
ested in the domestic quarrel of Mr.. and
Mrs. Yndart in any way.
MUST STAY In JAIL.
Attorneys G. G. Stephens and Grant
swore out writ of habeas corpus yester-
day for the release of Charley Lee Kong,
the Chinaman who recently took shot
at Officer Auble, who was watching him
through the roof OF his store to see if he
dealt in lottery tickets. The writ
asked for Kong's release on the
grounds that the evidence adduced
at the preliminary examination did not
show that public offense had been
committed. The petition. was heard by
Judge Wade, Deputy District Attorney
Diehl appearing for the state. After
the court had listened to the argument
of the Chinaman's attorneys he very
promptly denied the petition for Kong's
release. A motion was then made that
Kong's bail be reduced from $4,000,
which he had not been able to furnish,
to $500, but this was also denied and
Kong was remanded to jail.
