A dispatch from New York states that
SIX sons of the late Demas Strong of
brooklyn, who are trying to secure what
they consider fair share of their father S
estate. valued at S300OO0. nearly all OF
which was left 10 four daughters, may
ritter away the fortune if they cannot
reach an understanding with their sisters.
They have several suits pending. They
were defeated on the Dist in an effort to
nave set aside trainers of $50. 900 worth OF
real estate made by their mother, Jane
Strong. to their father. They declared
that Mrs Strong was not OF sound mind
when she transferred the property.
Judge Gaynor decided that the deeds
We're valid. The sons scored point IN

into by them with the daughters.
-Four days alter MIR. Strong's death, be-
fore the contents of the will were made
known, all the heirs except Mrs. Jennie
McMahon. daughter, agreed to share
and share alike in the distribution OF the
real and personal estate.
Judge Gaynor decided that the agree
ment was presumably valid and as the
Surrogate Court had no power to decide
1t the Supreme Court would assume
power. The case will therefore 90 TO
trial.
Demas Strong was Acting Mayor of
sacramento during the days of the gold
fever. After he returned to Brooklyn he

The Board of Bank Commissioners
have just issued circular to all banks in
the State containing the following:

therefore, be it

Certain banks have been in the habit of
Jumping public funds with those due de-
positors, which has led to considerable
confusion and to practically false state
ments OF bank assets and liabilities.
Under a recent decision of the Supreme
Court the claims of city or county are
preferred and must be satisfied before
those OF ordinary depositors. In order
not to give the latter a false impression as
to the assets Of a bank or. in the case of
insolvency, That portion OF the assets from
which they may expect to recover. it has
been decided that public money must he

FIGHT TO A FINISH
The Weber and Gomez Clans Again
Meet in Battle Array.

The Weber and Gomez Clans Again
Meet in Battle Array.
A free-for-all fight, with William
Webster, his wife and Robert Thomas on
one SIDE. and Mrs j. Gomez and c. P
Rideout and wife on the other, took
place at Highland Park on Wednesday
afternoon. From the account of the af-
fair given by Mrs. Gomez, her side of the
belligerents met with an inglorious de-
feat.
The other day Mrs. Weber had Mrs.
Gomez arrested for battery and the case
was tried in Justice Henry's court on
Wednesday afternoon. After hearing all
the testimony the Justice discharged
Mrs. Gomez.
The latter says that after court adj
journed all the parties retired to their
homes at Highland Park. Shortly after
ward Mrs. Webber saw Mrs. Gomez-so
the latter says-walking in the alley
back of where the parties live, and
called to her husband to give Mrs
Gomez thrashing. She says the Web
bers then made an onslaught on her, and
while Weber. was punching Mrs.
Gomez's face Mrs. Weber kept beating
her with club.
Mrs. Gomez cried Justify for help, and
{. 2. Rideout (who once had Mrs. Web
Der arrested for assault) and his wife
came to her assistance. Thomas, hear
ing the fuss, also came upon the scene,
ana, according to Mrs. Gomez, he as
sailed the RideoutsIwith a club.
In the fight that followed between
Thomas and Rideout the former got the
latter's finger in his mouth and badly
lacerated it.
Thomas and the Webbers were ar
rested and taken before Justice McMa-
hon, where they were arralgned and re-
quired to give 81 900 bail each.

Dorado County, Gazette took vacation
last week, and his business manager,
Miss Maude A. Hubert, publishes the
following comment on his escapade:
There was no Gazette last week, owing
to the absence of the proprietor, who went
down to Placerville and got lost; and
there is no telling when he would have
returned if we had not hunted him up,
and sent him home. We blame the
Placerville people for it, and especially
Mr.. Mckee Of the Ohio House for har-
boring and treating him so well. a COM

country editor, and perhaps Hulbert's
clearinghouse would be still better
He's here now in all his silurian glory,

ARSON At GAIT
Another Attempt TO Burn the COM
mercial Hotel.

Another Attempt to Burn the Com
mercial Hotel.
The good people of Gait have for some
time lived in the fear of having their
town wiped out by the work OF firebugs,
several incendiary fires having occurred
there in the last couple of years.
The latest attempt at arson there was
committed on Tuesday night, and already
young man named William Galloway
is in Jail in connection with the crime.
The fire occurred in the Commercial
Hotel, in which the floor of one OF the
upper rooms was saturated with coal oil
and touched of. This was early in the
evening, and the flames were discovered
IN time to extinguish them before any
serious damage had resulted.
Galloway has spent most of his time
about the hotel, and the proprietor can
not Imagine why he should wish to de-
stroy the building and its contents, I'M
less it be that he is possessed of mania
for that kind of business.
