White Pine News:-During his
late visit to Denver, D. H. jackson
says he met Frank Hamilton. after
whom the town of Hamilton in this
county was named. It will be remem-
bered that three or four years ago it
was reported that Hamilton, while
being closely pursued by officers,
jumped from 4-story window in
New York and was killed. It is now
thought that Hamilton himself was
the author of that story.

PEKIN, July 3O.-Following is the
Chinese official version of the engage
ment between the Chinese and japan
csc fleets:
The collision between the Chinese
and Japanese ships occurred in Prince
Jerome Gulf, in the inlet of which
Asan is situated. The Japanese at
tackled the Chinese vessels which
were escorting the second and small
er division of troops dispatched from
Taku to reinforce the Chinese army
at Asan. The Japanese opened fire,
the Chinese having strict orders not
fire unless they were attacked or if to
the landing of the Chinese troops was
opposed. The result of the action
was that one japanese ironclad was
disabled by the Chinese battleship
Chen Yuen. The Kow Shung, which
was sunk by the Japanese, was a
chartered transport, flying the British
flag.
No news has been received here of
the loss of the Chinese warship Tsao
kiang, said to have been captured by
the Japanese.
LONDON, July 30.-The news that
the Kow Shung was flying the British
flag when sunk was received with

and Germany were bound to notice
this breach of neutrality.

quite confident that it will prove victorious
and shows tendency to treat the other
side in quite generous way.
The contestants, however, are not the
only ones who are anxiously watching for
the decision. Society has taken more than
an ordinary interest in the Murphy con-
test and is just the least bit curious to
know just how it will end.
Relative to the interest displayed by the
400 perhaps it is well to explain that it is
entirely 0nesided.
Our social leaders have not forgotten
the criticisms passed upon them by that
prolific letter writer, Miss Nellie Murphy,
and consequently they will be little
grieved If Judge Henshaw should render
decision adverse to her interests.
1t is not likely, however. that such de-
cision will be rendered. On the contrary,
there Is rumor afioat throughout Oak
land that the decision will be quite a novel
one. inasmuch as it will ignore both the
wills which were submitted for probate
and order an equal distribution of the i'm
mense estate among the children.

decision should go that way then all the
children of the deceased would share alike
In the estate. In other words. the lawyer
says that he believes the Murphy girls will
be declared not guilty of undue influence,
but on points of law will be beaten.
The attorneys who represented the con-
testants IN the proceedings do not hold
similar opinions. They anticipate scoring
a complete victory for Brother Dan" and

appointed IL their expectations are not
realized.

The Murphy will contest was CON-

early last May and occupied most of Judge
Henshaw's time for nearly month.
The high social standing of all con-

IN the contest at the commencement.

majority OF the cash receipts went to that

Now, Collin claims that. as the two fac

As SOON as the writ was served at the

ferent manner. Is Both of.these wills have
been submitted TO Judge Henshaw, and in
his decision 1t is supposed that he will
determine which is entitled to con-
sideration.
In many particulars there Is a great
similarity between the wills, but two
para graphs differ widely. and these two
are responsible for all the trouble.
One of the paragraphs from what Is
known as che ''tin-box" will, because it
was found stored in tin box many
months after Mrs. Murphy's death, reads
as follows:
Should either of these three daughters Gle
wish her portion to be divided between the two
surviving daughters. In case these daughters
all die without children ! wish the children of
my eldest son, Eugene Kelly Murphy. to To-
herit share and share alike-Eugene Besson
Murphy. Mabel Murphy and Charles Murphy.
This will was introduced by the con-
testants, Dan and Sammy Murphy and
Lady Wolseley.
The other will is known as the MET
calf will" because Metcalf. the agent for
the Murphy girls, acted as lis custodian.
Its general tenor is favorable to Fannie,
Isabella and Mamie Murphy, and the OBJ
Jectionable paragraph reads:
Should either of these three daughters die
wish her portion TO be divided between the two
surviving daughters. In case either or all OF
these daughters die without children, wish
the children of my eldest son, Eugene Kelly
Murphy to inherit from my portion that leave
the three daughters whatever they may leave
when they die. I wish these children of my
eldest son. Eugene, to have share and share
alike whatever my three daughters may leave

real estate.

among the members of the Murphy family
are numerous and have to do with all sorts
