Is BIoOre's wiz Fraudulent?
Some months ago a Scotchman named
Moore, who had lived in Alameda County
for many years and had also acquired con-
siderable property, died at sea near MAJ
allan, Mexico while en- route 10 his birthplace
in Scotland. The remains were put ashore At
60 MaZatlau and there buried.
Id due lime will was pr0Oated in the courts
of this country which gave to Moores house
keeper his residence and TO an East Berkeley
real estate agent named Smith all his real es-
tale.
In suit brought In The Superior Court to.
day against the estate by a local physician for
services rendered 10 Moore somewhat sensa-
tlOnal statement was made TO The effect that
niece, Jane Renwick HOig. and two nepbews
Alison Renwick Rae and Thomas Dobson, all
of whom reside in Scotland, and who represent
themselves as the legal heirs of the late MIR.
Moore, had filed with British Consul Donohoe OF
San Francisco protest TO The pI oDate OF the
will on the ground IDat 1t MAS false and fraudu-
lent
II appears however. that no such protest has
vel come 10 light. The matter will now BE- in
vestigated, ana it may be that the Scottish
heirs may produce very sensational contest
TO the alleged will.
No Chance for TrickerysHere.
The ballots used in the recent election are
subjected TO the tenderest care In he Coun "
Clerks office As they come IN they
fully placed 10 freprOOf vault, bat notwiih-
standing the apparent security OF the rIace
the ballots are always under the eyes of three
or four men who are not IN tile pay of the
county.
On account OF the closeneSs OF the contest
between Schaffer and White the POpusts
feared thai the Republicans might gain access
TO the ballots and so tamper with them as TO
put Schafer ia the lead In consequence sew
eTal POpullsts are on guard night and day.
Henry Dalton, AssessO1-elecj, not wishing to
take any chances OF losing bis hard-won VIC
tory by giving desperate corporations the
slightest opportunity to do mischief, also has
man continually on guard before the ai-im-
portant vault. Both Dalton ana Jordan. County
Clerk elect. nave visited their future Kingdoms
since their election, and both expressed great
satisfaction with the softness OF their official
Married Misery.
The monotOnOus Sameness of events in the
county courts since the election somewhat
tile suit Of Catherine Mccoy OF Haywards VS..
James .. Mccoy of the same town for di-
vorce on the ground of cruelty. IN his answer
TO his wife's complaint mccoy uGqualfedly de-
MED the accusations MADE.
From the testimony given yesterday by Mrs.
Mccoy II Is certainly apparent that thu dOmes-
tic life of tbe McCOys was not without MANY
exciting diversions. For instance, she
marked that one day when her husband made
her angry she sent a chair flying after his re-
treating form. With great mnuieDess OF de
tail she told how on one occasion her husband
hId 4 razor under his pillow.
The case will not be concludnd for several
days YET.
1t was stated on the streets of Oakland last
night that ex- Chief Of Police Schaffer would be
ted in the office by the Police Commits
siOners and That he would assume the duties of
theoffice on Tuesday next.
Schaff r resigned his office 10 make the run
for Sheriff and captain Fletcher was appointed
Chief pro TEN. The Commissioners would take
no action on the resignation and it was under
stood that he was granted leave Of ABSENCE
pending he result of the late election and in
event Of his defeat he would again be Chief.
He was defeated and it Is expected that he
will fan back into his old place. 1t is under
stood HAT he Christian Endeavorers, who cut
such figure in Schater's oefeat Tor Sheriff,
will make vigorous protest against his again
becoming Chief OF Police.
Suspected Suffers Discharged.
Five of the eight men who were arrested On
election day for Illegal voting were not prose

dence against them was not strong enough 10

But Charles Ii. Wilson, Harry west ana
Jesus L0renza all of the Industrial Army, viii

who were discharged there seem to have been
extenuating circumstances. Not so. however,

tried within the coming week and viii probably
be convicted.
