EVERETT LAND INVOLVED.
Heavy Lawsuit Over the Ownership of
the KRONER Claim.

SNoHoMIsH, Dec. 27.-[ Special. One of
the most important cases ever instituted
IN this county was begun before Judge
Denney last evening. The amount is very
heavy and the property in question lies
almost in the very heart of Everett.
Briefly stated, the case is as follows
In 1865 Erskine Kroner filed a homestead
right on l60 acres of land in section 80.
now part of Everett. He proved
up on the land and in 1876 Sc
cured his patent In 1885 Kroner
died, bequeathlng the property in question
to his son, Victor E. KRONER, lad now
about 15 years of age. Kroner left some
money for his wife, and several lots in
Seattle for his other children. In his will
Kroner provided that his homestead
should not be sold until his son had
reached the age of maturity.
In 1889 the guardian appointed made
application to the probate court to sell the
homestead, alleging that he could invest
the proceeds much more advantageously.
Kromer's widow appeared and contested
the application, setting up that the home
stead was community property, and that
she was entitled to one-half of it.
The probate court, however, held that
dS SiiS iidti dtCSpbCd iSlJ AiSI ny
KRONER in his will, she was, therefore,
estopped from claiming that this was com
munity property. From this decision
Mrs. KRONER appealed to the superior
court, which reversed the decision of the
probate court, and held that she was en-
titled to one-half of the homestead.
Mrs. Kroner thereupon sold her half to
f. p Friday for $500. Friday imme-
dately commenced an action in the su-
perior court, contending for sale of the
entire homestead claim, alleging that to
partition the property instead of the pro-
ceeds of sale would work great hardship
to all parties interested. The court there
upon ordered the entire tract sold, and
Friday became the owner, paying Sc, 500 Tor
the minor heirs half.
Friday then sold the land to the Rucker
brothers and Henry Hewitt, jr,, for $685.
600.
The present proceedings are to set aside
all the acts of the Probate and superior
courts and all the deeds made To the sew
eral partss upon the allegation that none
of the courts had jurisdiction in the
premises. and for the further reason that
the Rucker brothers, Friday and Henry
Hewitt were guilty OF fraud in procuring
the deeds and orders Of the court; that as
this property was always the separate
property Of Kroner and that as he had be-
queathed il 70 his son Victor, it could not
be sold until the heir reached his majority.

TOO BIG A BURDEN FOR MCCARTHY,

Besides Being n Thankless Task That His
Generosity Makes Very Costiy-Dillon
Announces That He Is Tornenst the ''Un-
crowned King" Whose Enemies Threat
en- to Fire Him Into Horse Pond.
LONDON, July 3l.-For the first time in
several months Irish affairs are the lead
ing topic here. The release from prison
of Dillon and O'Brien has started a crop
of rumors that is large in proportion to
the time that the two Home Rulers have
been out of politics, as it were. When
they were released there was a big crowd
to cheer them, part of which called on
them to stand by Parnell, and part to
abandon him. 1t is now stated on high
authority among the McCarthyites that
Dillon will shortly be selected as leader of
the party. Mccarthy has only been wait.
ing for Dillon's release to get rid Of the
burden of the craftsmanship, and devote
himself entirely to his favorite occupa-
tion of literature.
Mccarthy Too Generous.
| His finances have suffered considerably
since he accepted the leadership by
calls upon his generosity, while his in
land appeals have come direct to McCar-
thy for assistance in the cases of evicted
tenants and others, and although his mod
crate circumstances would have justified
general refusal, yet his natural sympa-
thies have led him to contribute beyond
his means. In return for all this, for the
first time in his life he has been subjected
to personal abuse, and his intimate friends
say that while too proud and patriotic to
openly acknowledge his disappointment,
he has been cured of his lifelong enthusi-
asm for the National cause, at least so far
as wearing out the remainder of his career
in the task of Sisyphus.
Dillon Will Fight Parnell.
Addresses were presented to Dillon and
O'Brien at Athlone and Mdllingar yester
day. Dillon, in responding, said he be-
lieved that in the near future there would
again be united Irish party At Dublin
an immense crowd of Parnellites and Nc
Carthyites cordially greeted the leaders,
who drove to Dillon's residence amid
cheers for Parnell. Dillon, in conversa-
ton with representative McCarthyites,
promised that in the event of any Parnell
contest in bye elections, he would inter
vene in support of the McCarthyite candi-
date. O'Brien adheres to his intention to
take period of rest for the completion Of

resent any allusion of an unfavorable
kind to the clergy.
