DEATH OF MRS. PRATT.
A NEW COMPLICATION IN A GEL
EBRATED CASE.
Filing of an Amended Complaint Sent
From San Francisco Before the
Death OF Mrs. Pratt--A Bit
ter Fight Ahead.

The Mans6eld-Pratt case which has
attracted so much attention has been
still further complicated by the death
OF Mrs. Annie E. Pratt, which took
place Sunday.
just what effect Mrs. Pratt's death
will have on the pending litigation in
the superior court is very difficult to
foresee.
1t is said that she left two or three
Wills disposing of her large estate, but
what the exact facts are cannot now be
stated.
That there will be bitter contest
over the estate is conceded by those
best versed in the intricate fight which
is going or.
Should there prove to be late will in
favor OF Gen. and Mrs. Mansfield it will
make the contest all the more pro-
tractsd.
A singular incident which took place
yesterday shows how almost every move
in this now celebrated case has been of
sensational character.
In the morning mail County Clerk
Ward received from Attorney Hanlon OF
San Francisco an amended complaint in
the pending litigation for filing.
Evidently 1t was mailed before Mrs.
Pratt's death. Still it WAS filed and has
become record in the case.
1t follows in general the allegations
heretofore made, charging General and
Mrs.. Mansfield and Mrs. Cross with
fraud, and recites the details of the liti-
CATION which has taken place up to the
present time.
1t reiterates the charge that the de-
PENDANTS conspired to take advantage of
Mrs. Pratt's weak mental condition to
get possession of large sums of money
and personal property belonging to her.
1t then takes up the attempt of the
defendants to withdraw $l8.SSl.92 from
the Farmers and Merchants bank, and
refers to the petition of the bank to be
allowed to deposit the money in court,
and its decision denying the motion
without prejudice.
The prayer OF the complaint is that
the defendants account under direction
of the court for all money and property
received and converted by them that
plaintiff have judgment for the amount
found due, and the defendants be adj
judged guilty OF fraud.
1t is prayed that the defendants be
enjoined from Withdrawing or assigning
any of the money, or from selling or in
any manner disposing of any real prop
erty belonging to Mrs. Pratt or pur-
chased by them with money obtained
from her.
The court lie asked to enjoin the de.
fendacts from further prosecution of
the action against the bank, and the
bank be enjoined from paying out any
OF the money to the defendants.
Also, that the defendants be COM
PEELED to execute to plaintiff convey
ances OF real estate belonging to plaint-
if and turn over all personal property
belonging to Mrs. Pratt.
One Of the big fights in the future
will be over the probAting of the will OF
the deceased and the appointment of an
executor or administrator.

EXCEEDED MS AUTHORITY.
General KcCook Had No RICH! to Sens
Troops to Gov. Wales aid.

WASHINGTON, March 16-General Nc.
Cook is at Denver, and has informed the
war department that he has been called upon
By the Governor of Colorado for troops to
assist in preserving order in the city, and
that he has complied with the request. The
action Of Gen. McCook is referred to the
war department for approval, as Secretary
Lamont regarded the question as political,
upon which he was unwilling to take action
with ut the formal assent of the President
and cabinet.
After the cabinet meeting the under
standing was that Gen. McCook's instruc-
tions limited his action to such measures as
might be necessary to protect United States
property. He was not authorized or d.
rected to take part in political controversy
in progress in Colorado, either at the re-
quest Of Governor Waite or his opponents,
unless specific Instructions to that effect
were given by the secretary of war and no
such instructions had yet been issued.
