LOST THE SHEEP.
An Indignant Widow Asks
Her Share.
Rather Discrepancy Between Plain
tiff and Defendant as to the
Value of an Estate.

In the estate of K. A. Chamberlin, de-
ceased, Judge Coffey Yesterday heard the
petition of Fannie K. Cham berlin, the
widow, who is Administrative OF the estate,
to force w. Fl. Hill. Chamberlin's part
ner, to an accounting.
The petition sets forth that at the time
Of the death of r. A. Chamberln, who
was trader in livestock. w. II. Hill. his
partner, was in full possession of the I'M
divided twO-thirds of the stock belonging
to deceased. That stock was believed to
consist of 10,950 sheep. 1877 cattle. $50 hogs.
some farm implements and effects, and a
deposit OF Sl666 in the Anglo California
Bank. The whole estate was valued at
about S32. The appraisers had placed
1t even higher. namely, ct $4,000.
Hill. of course. being in full possession
OF the trade carried it on 10 the interests
of himself and the widow, but although
she used every means to bring Hill to an
accounting. he never told her nor any one
else where the stock was nor what had be-
come Of 1t. Therefore. she demanded a
production OF the books and an order for
her share of the partnership assets.
The case came up yesterday. when Hill
turned up with statement which he had
prepared in answer to the charges made
against him. This statement set forth
that while the books showed that the
assets standing to the credit Of the firm on
June 1892, amounted to $50. 283 15 yet
there were enormous liabilities completely
swallowing up those assets. There was
due to j. 6. James alone S39,S02 so. and
with other debts the sum total of The liza
blities contracted by the partnership
amounted to $49,S94 So There were.
therefore no profits to divide.
Hill was called to the witness-stand and
submitted to pretty severe cross-exa mi
nation upon his alleged account. Each
item was gone into with the utmost pa
thence, but Hill had a ready answer to
every question put to him. Mrs. Chamber
lin. who sat beside her counsel. Attorneys
Hubbs and Kip. could hardly contain
herself as Hill sat composedly on his
chair, but kept shaking her finger at him,
until interrupted by the court.
Nothing satisfactory came from the in
quiry, and finally Judge Coffey made an
order directing Hill to produce the books
and the accoun ting required.
1t was stated by the plaintiff that
there was a shortage Of at least 500, 600,
and that whereas Hill testified to having
only found COCO sheep on the ranch at the
time of Chamberlin's death, there was an
old servant in the firms employ who was
waiting to testify that there were fully
l., 900 sheep at the time.

BY A SURGEON.
A Homicidal Scot Who Had Splinter
Taken From His Brain.
Harper's Magazine.

Harper's Magazine.
A patient in. Glasgow hospital had re-
ceived an injury which had resulted in
melancholia. Though formerly happy
husband and father he now repeatedly
contemplated the murder of his wife and
children. There we're no phenomena con-
nected with lotion in any part of the body
by which the injury could be located, but
it was discovered by that careful, close in
vestlgation for which this surgeon is so
we'll known that Immediately after the
accident for two weeks he had suffered
from what is called "psychical blindness"
or "mnd blindness"-that is to say, his
physical sight was not at all affected, but
his mind was not able to In ttt Dret7Th hat he
saw.
l presume he was staunch Scotch
Presbyterian. He knew that, as was Gus
tOmary, hi new testament was lying by
his side, hut when he looked at it he was
utterly unable TO recognize it. While,
however, his mental sight was thus af-
fected, his sense of touch was perfect. and
when he passed his hand over the smooth
leather cover Of hls well-known book and
felt the deep-indented letters on the back
he recognized it as has familiar friend but
when he ened it the printed words were
unknown symbols to him. This gave to
DR.. MacEwan the kew to the injury. He
located on the outside of the skull this v
shaped convolution known as the angular
cyrus" and found, on removing button
of bone. that portion of the inner layer
of the bone had become detached and was
pressing on the brain. one corner of it
being imbedded in the brain substance.
The bottom of bone was removed from the
brain. and after removing the splinter was
replaced in its proper position. The man
got Veil. and, although excitable, lost en-
trely his HON icdal tendencies and re-
turned TO work.

NO MORE HEROISM.

Warden Aull of Folsom prison very
properly has concluded that his prisoner
Sontag should be kept absolutely from
contact with the world, in which he has
cut the figure of a desperate with fearful
chapter of crime to his account. It was he
who planned the recent outbreak in the
prison, resulting in three .convicts being
killed and four wounded. The arms came
from Visalia. the home of the Sonlag and
Evans gang, and the object of the plot no
doubt was to free the bandits now awaiting
trial for murder. To the Sontags and
Evans, and others with them. Aul

murders or killings. as they are termed.
and fourteen cases of wounding. This is
a notoriety in villainy which produces an
effect not expected. The men are regarded

HIS NEW DEPUTIES.
License Collector Lees Surprises the
Politicians.

Politicians.
License Collector Fred w. Lees, whose
appointment was recently confirmed by
the Board Of Supervisors. took charge o.
his office yesterday.
The appointments of the new Licen st
Collector had been looked forward to with
great deal of expectation, as his appoint
ment had been the result of peculiar polit.
ical circumstances.
The commission appointing him con-
sisted of Mayor Ebert, Auditor Broderick
and Treasurer Widber. The Mayor and
Treasurer are of Republican affiliations,
W lille Broderlck is the only Democrat on
the board. The fight to secure the APP
pointment was long and interesting. fol-
the reason that the Board of Supervisors.
which is Democratic in politics, had the
con frming power.
Finally when the commission met Mayor
Ebert succeeded in having Fred w. Lees
appointed. When the Board of Super
visors caucused the appointment only
three votes were secured to confirm Lees.
On the night of the same day. however,
Lees " as unanimously confirmed. POliti-
clans in sizing the fight up stated that the
Supervisors would control few appoint
ments in the office.
This was the reason why Lees appoint
ments were anxiously looked for. as there
was a combination of opposing political
influences entered in the fight. The new
License Collector announced a large por-
ton of his appointments yesterday and
everybody was surprised
The occasion of the surprise was the ap-
pointment of William j. Blattner as chief
deputy. Blattner was the pronounced
candidate of Kelly and Crimmins in the
last campaign and the especial favorite Of
the Third-street bosses. Mayor Ellert
Was the Non-Partisan representative and
fought the Kelly and Crimmins gang
tooth and nail. AS Frederick w. Lees
was the Mayors appointment it was not
thought that he would 20 to such a length
as to appoint Kelly and Crimmins man
as his chief deputy when he knew that
such thing would be distastefu to the
Mayor. Yet that is just what he did. and
that is why all the City Hall was agog
with establishment when the news was
heard. BILLY Blattner!' was the ex-
camation. "And Lees put in by Ebert
Oh. my! who would have thought II!
Mayor Ebert is said to be much put out
at the appointment of Blattner.

Mark Twain suggests. they have the cow

Quite an exodus of San Franciscans has
been going on. stimulated by the holidays,
from Saturday until after the Fourth. The
change is a delightful regeneration to
thousands who have little other rest in the
working year. On the other hand. large
numbers Of country people have flocked
into the city in quest of entertain menf.

One of the train-robbing gang, John
Sontag. has passed in his checks. He has
succumbed to the wounds inflicted by his
capturers in the foothills. and his trial for
murder is sensation which the COM
munity will be spared. Evans Is likely to
get round, although he has lost hand and
an eye and is otherwise dllapidated man.

palmed off as Andersons.
Mrs. James Brown Potter is complain

not appreciate her. She feels that she is
too artistic in her methods to please the

The Empress of China is making very
