HE DIDN'T SCORE.
A Crack Shot Who Tried

Christopher Bulancb, up to the hour OF

reputation of being a noted duelist. Ac-
cording to the code of Bulanch no gentle
man should be participant in an affair of
honor who is not able to hit one-inch

Bulanch, however, fired three shots point
blank at the person of George kuslck at
the hour mentioned. missed him every

Bulanch and Kusick had Quarreled over

BROTHERS A'EWAR
Who Will Manage Tomaso
Cresta's== Estate. :.
Manuel. the Eldest son, Claims That
:. He Is the Proper Person to. i:
Handle Affairs. =. !


The valuable estate left by the late;
Tomaso Cresto is still entangled in litiga-.
ton caused by the chickering's among; the
members of the. family as to: who shall
have charge of it. 1t is now some time
since the widow. Maddelena. was reno we'd
as .execulriX, and the contest now Is be-
tween Manuel and Joseph Cresta. the old
est and youngest sons respectively Of the
deceased. Joseph a short time ago ap-
piled for letters of administration upon
the estate, but Manuel is determined TO do
all in his power to prevent them from be-
ing granted. as he does not think Joseph
is by any means Fl: person to manage
the property affairs in the light of his past
connection with them. =
The property belonging to the Cresta
family consists of a 13Q-acre ranch in San
Mateo County and residence property IN
this city, which brings IN monthly rem
tai of about $500.
In document filed in the Probate Court
yesterday Manuel Cresta set forth his OBJ
jections to having Joseph act as admins
traitor Manuel says that he is the Oldest
son. and that he. always worked with his
father to accumulate the property which
the family now has: that he never received
any money for such services, but allowed
what was coming to him to go into the
family fund for the education and support
of his brothers and sisters. He had charge
of the San Mateo ranch, where his BROTH
ers Frank and Joseph. worked until they
became of age.
After the death of the father Joseph as
sumed charge of the estate and collected
the profits OF the ranch and the rents of
the city property Two years ago Manuel
objected to Joseph's methods OF doing
business, and since then Joseph has de-
voted his time only to getting the city rents
According to Manuel his brother is any,

quents saloons. daDeehouses and cellars.
By his habits he had ruined the good name
of the estate and no one will trust him un-
less Manuel goes his security. Manuel
also states that the mother countenances
Joseph's actions and that he has her under
his control.
In conclusion, Manuel wants the Pro-
bate Court to deny .Joseph's petition and
to appoint him (ManueD administrator.
An objection is also made bv Manuel to
the accounts of MaddeleDa while she was
executrix, and be asks the court to have
the same examined by an expert.

that may shock the social world to

fragments upon many of its men,

may be caused by drink, lust, fraud,

it can do so no longer and
the volcano bursts, spreading
disgrace and ruin around. The
principal cause for eruption, how
ever, lies in the relation OF the
sexes. In this country it has been
shown in the Breckinridge-
Pollard case and in many other
cases. America is not alone in
such social offences. France had
