George Crocker Wants to Get His Money
Out of Railroads.
SAN Francisco, June lathe Chroni-
Gle revives the story that George Croker
is causing trouble in Southern Pacific
railway circles and that he was posi-
lively denied the privilege of withdraw
ing his share of the great Crocker
estate from the Southern Pacific pool.
The Chronicle says young Crocker made
a formal demand upon the Croker heirs
whose interests are managed by the
Croker company to withdraw every
cent of his money and his share of his
fathers estate from the railroad He
wants to have nothing to do with trans
pOrtatiOn companies.
When Charles Croker died, the story
goes, his affairs were SO arranged that
George Croker was not to receive his
division of the estate for five years, and
then it was conditioned that young
George must cease his dissipation.
For five years the young man has led
quiet life, and as a result he has re-
ceived 100000 in the last few months.
This placed him in an Independent posi-
ton, and now he is demanding what he
claims to be his rights.

the news of the death of Napoleon
Bonaparte at st. Helena was received
in Paris. Napoleon had been the mas

height of human glory, and in France,
and particularly in Paris, all things
had conferred around his name. :.
