a Tangle.

Judge Sanderson Various
Issues at Stake.

The parties interested in the disputes between
the Krepgs were very much in evidence at the
new City Hall yesterday.
First the order TO show cause why L. w. and
John kreling and their attorneys should not be
punished for contempt OF court came up for
hearing. Their alleged crime lay Ia this: While
suit was pending 10 Judge Sanderson's court
for the appointment of receiver 10 take charge
OF The KreliuR property and otherwise TO settle
matters in dispute between the parties and
Harry Lask, appointed temporary receiver, F.
W. aud John krelDg carried a new suit into
Judge Hebbard's court 10 determine their inter-
est IN the property, and had j. j. Groom APP
pointed receiver ad interim. Hence the CON
tempt of court proceedings, which. however
were 1t first continued yesterday until this
morning.
Then The parties went over to Judge Heb.
bard's court and J. ID. Sullivan. on behalf of
+. w. and John kreling. made an appeal TO The
court TO have all the matters In dispute trans
ferred to the department presided over by
Judge Hebbard. The Judge, however decided
that in cases oil a conflict OF jurisdiction IL was
the privilege of the first Judge 10 Ivy The case
He would have nothing TO do with cases where
there was such conflict, and as Judge Sander
sou was In every way competent TO try the
points at issue lie would make an order trans
ferTing both this and all other cases concerning
the kreling estate TO the jurisdiction of Judge
Sanderson.
In the afternoon Judge sanderson's court
was again the scene of contention; this time
for the purpose of discussing Mrs. Einestine
hrellDg's application 10 have receiver ap-
pointed 10 tax charge OF the factory premises
and business of Kieling 81 Co., on Guerrero
street. In this suit Mrs. KEELING claims that
+. W. krrling is old and infrm and totally
unfit 10 transact business; that he has since
William KreIing's death, acknowledged and
declared his sons Martin ana John, TO be part
neTs In the business whereas IL is contended
that they have no interest whatever therein.
The plaintiff alleges that the Krelings are man
aging the factory business their own way to
her exclusion, and she seeks the protection of
the court
Several witnesses were examined yesterday
the most prominent of whom Was +. w. Are
ling himself, a white-hared old man, 75 years
of age. Eventually the whole of the matters In
dispute, including the contempt proceedings
went over until Tuesday DexI, whrn they will
be thoroughly discussed and thrashed out.

AN UNSATISFACTORY TRADE.
One of the Parties to Land Deal

Chatheld Tor TWO ten-acre lots situa ed in
bakersfield. and supposed 10 be worth $3.50
The trade was made "Sight unseen" so ia as
Magofty was concerned he neglected 10 90
ana see TIE Kern County property before he
became the pOS>essor OF H.
But when In May last he finally went to view
his lately acquired property he found the de-
scripuon OF the land located II some twenty
miles from Bakersfield. and that 1t Consisted
principally OF some piles OF rock in the foothills
10 the east OF that civ. His conclusion was
that $3.50 was rather high valuation for
twenty acres of hillside, so he swore TO the com
paint and obtained warrant for Chatfield's
arrest. The accused was subsequently released
