LAMAR ESTATE SETTLED.
Duchess d'Auxy viii Get Little, But
something VIII Go to Her Chill

From the New York Sun.


From the New York Sun.
Judgment has been entered by Justice
O'Brien of the supreme court on the re-
port of Albert stickney. referee, passing
upon the accounts of the estate Of GAIA
way b. Lamar since his death, on oct. ).
1874. A son, G. De Rosset Lamar. acted
as sole executor until his death, on June
r. 1886. Since that time the estate has been
managed by the testator's daughter, Har-
riet Cazenove Jones, and by Frank Caz-
enove Jones, as administrators with the
will annexed. The estate originally
amounted to S4l200O, besides claims for
several million dollars against the United
States for alleged unlawful seizure of
cotton in the war A large part of the
estate was lost through investments by
c. De Rosset Lamar with the banking
firm Of Soutter & co. The report also
finds that the son appropriated large sums
to his own use beyond what he was en-
titled TO. and therefore no commissions
for his services as executor are awarded
to the sons estate.
Several suits to recover for the cotton
taken by the government went the rounds
of the courts and failed and nothing
came of applications to the court of
claims or TO congress. Legacies of $4,000
to the Georgia Infirmary for Infirm and
Aged Negroes and $4,000 to the city Of
Augusta were not paid on the ground
that they were TO be paid from any money
received from the cotton claims When
suit was brought compromise was
reached by which $4,000 and assignments
of $4,000 in these cotton claims were
given to each legatee. The estate has
been involved in about twenty-five litiga-
tions, some of which were brought by
people who had consigned cotton to old
Lamar.
1t is found that Charlotte the Duchess
D'Auxy, one of the children of Lamar
should have the value of the house at
46 West Twenty-sixth street, which was
given to her by her father before his
death. deducted from her share in the
estate. The papers in the case are per-
haps the largest bundle that has been
filed in several years. one of the coun-
sci said that the duchess would receive
little or nothing further from the es-
tate, but that her children would get
something.

NEW WOMEN AS BANDITS.
They Dress and Act Like the Rest
of the Gnng.
From the ST. Louis Republic.

From the St. Louis Republic.
Two women, whose appearance contra
diets all the accepted descriptions of fe-
male bandits. are now locked up as Grim
inals in the United States jail at Guthrie.
They don't spend their leisure in doing
plain tatting, and, on the other hand,
they are not dressed in dashing cowboy
garb, worn by all well ordered female
bandits in yellow or other backed paper
novels. They have done about everything
that the heroine of that kind of fiction
ever thought of doing, however, includ-
ing time which doesn't worry them much
These women are by all odds the most
interesting prisoners in Guthrie Jail, be-
cause they trained with the notorious Zip
Wyatt gang, and they shared the gangs
perils and successes, asking no favors
because of their sex. For the last year
Wyatt an outlaw, guilty of a dozen muir
ders, and his gang, have defied the depu-
~ marshals' and sheriffs' posses of differ
ent counties The members of the gang
were knowingly sight, but it was not sus-
pected that two Of them We're women.

one of the last raids made by the Wyatt
gang was on Fairview town and post
office a month ago. The outlaws swooped
down on the town in approved bandit
style. looted all of the stores in the place
and then made themselves scarce. A large
posse OF deputy marshals was organized
ana took up the trail. II was decided that
for the good OF several counties the Wyatt
gang should be done up. The marshals
followed them to the Glass Mountains,
and there found the outlaws holding a
fortified position.
For three days the deputy marshals be-
seiged the bandits. On the third day Two

women were seen trying to make their
escape. They were mounted on good horses
and knew how to ride The deputy
marshals put after them, and at the end
of a long chase they were arrested. A
large sum of money was found concealed
in their clothes, and some valuabes that
were identified as having been stolen in
the Fairview raid.
This was the first intimation that there
had been women in the Wyatt gang. They
were brought to Guthrie and held as ac-
cessories in the robbery of the postofficc.
The women admitted that they were men,
bers of the Wyatt gang. Mrs. Black wore,
when captured, boots and spurs; but 9TH
erwise both women were dressed in the
kind of clothing worn by farmers wives
in that part of the country. In Mrs.
Blacks pocket were found photograph
of Tulsa Jack, who was killed the day
after the Dover train robbery, and photo
graphs of Deputy Marshals Porter and
Banks, who killed Tulsa Jack.
The photograph of Jack had been taken
in a group, after the dead villain was in
his coffin, with deputy marshal stand
ing on either side of it. Mrs. Black had
cut Jacks photograph out of the group.
The eyes of Porter in the photograph had
been dug out with a pin, and Banks pic
ture was stabbed through the heart and
neck. Mrs. Black didn't carry their pho
tographs because she loved them.
Wyatt, the outlaw, used to be a cow
boy around Guthrie, and once a month
he appeared in that town to spend his
wages in carousal. On one of these trips
he met Mrs. Freeman. After Wyatt muir
dered the sheriff of Greenwood county,
two years ago, he became fugitive.
He kept up a correspondence with Mrs
Freeman, however, and finally persuaded
her to leave her husband for him. She

brought up. but she took to reading
blood and thunder novels, and they ruin
ed her. Mrs. Freeman, explained a mys-
terry that had puzzled the men who had
chased Wyatt. Two or three of them
have fired at the outlaw point blank at
short range, and the bullets from their
Winchesters never tooR erect
Mrs. Freeman said that Wyatt wore at
all times steel plates on his breast, back
and thighs. He realizes that if captured
he will receive no mercy, and he is deter
mined never to be taken alive. Mrs Free
man, when arrested, jeered at the deputy
marshals, and told them that they would
never capture the Wyatt gang.
They will escape and leave no trail, &"
said she. and her prediction came true.
Belle Black and her husband came from
Western Kansas six years ago, and, after
losing all of their money, they became
cattle thives. and finally were forced to
become outlaws.
The two women spend their time IN Jail
in chatting with the other prisoners, who
have the freedom of the corridors, and
In playing cards. They have proved that

May.
From the New York Sun.
Madrid. Aug 1.-The courts have de-
clared that the will of Alexander Soler,
who bequeathed several million pesetas
to Queen Regent Christina, to be void
The decision is based upon a technical
flaw in the document.
Alexander Soler, who died in Madrid
last May, was a natural son of King Ferd-
inand VII Of Spain. His mother was a
Spanish duchess, whose name is not known
outside the court circle in Spain's capital
He had more varied life than most
natural sons or royal parentage At the
age of 8 months he was found in a bas-
ket at the door of a middle-aged duke,
who was about to be married. The young
woman who was TO be the dukes bride
thought that the sins of her betrothed
had found him out. and refused at first
to marry him unless ne would put away
the foIndhng. Eventually. However, she
was persuaded to become the childs adopt
cd mother.
The young couple spent thousands of
francs TO ascertain the truth regarding
the parentage Of their adopted SON. The
boy was taken out by a servant daily,
and was shown conspicuousiY in the
parks, until one day a little girl ran up
to him and squeezing him heartily called
him her brother. The little girl led the
servant TO the midwife who had cared
for the baby and the midwife directed
him to the physician who had cared for
the mother From the physician the
whole story Of Soler's birth was OBJ
tanned.
Soler was educated highly IN arts and
sciences. His secret was an open one.
and he was received in the society just
outside the court circle. When the. duke
and duchess died he was found TO be the
heir to the property. The dukes family,
however, contested the will. Sober re-
tired from the legal struggle almost as
soon as it began. He said he could earn
his own living, and he let all the estates
go to the titled relatives of his adopted
father. He went TO Paris, entered COM
mercial life, and after five years of phe-
nomenal business successes he returned
to Madrid a millionaire several times
over. He had lost his taste for society.
however, and retired to d secluded palace,
where he could pass most of his time in
the studies of his youth. He did not mar
~, and his only close friend was the
queen regent Once a month, during the
season he dined with her at the royal
palace. From her he learned who his
mother was. He went to the old duchess,
found her almost impoverished. and set
tied upon her a pension Of $1,000 francs a
year.
1t may have been the vagaries of her
youth. or her neglect to seek him in his
less prosperous days, or any one of a
dozen other things that prejudiced his
eccentric mind against her At all events,
he called upon her but three times, and
finally when she lay on her death-bed.
The bulk of his fortune he left to the
one friend of his old age. the queen regent.
1t would be interesting to know who con-
tested his will and where the money,
which he earned to prove his common
manhood, despite his ancestry, will now
go.

!YERS LEADS AL OTHER SARSAPARILLA&
Regarding Wheat.

The following taken from the Portland
Commercial Review gives a good resume
of the wheat situation in Portland and
throughout the Northwest:
The local market has been quite active
during the past week; there has been
more wheat received here than for some
time past; offerings have been freer,
and some large sales have been consum
smated. Though some holders for the
past few weeks have been reserved in
their offers and while satisfied from a
survey of the worlds markets that local
exporters pay fully all the market will
stand, yet having confidence that there
must in time be reaction in their favor,
seemed to hold as long as they can
finance their holdings, and it must be
conceded that the bulk of wheat remain
ing in some sections of the Northwest is
Kin strong hands and will be drawn only
' by a material advance in present prices.
In the Palouse country over one half of
the crop has been marketed, and in the
Walla Walla country very little has been
disposed of as yet. Though few weeks
remain before the turn of the year, we
can look for very active movement be-
fore then. Farmers will be compelled
to avoid accommodating storage charges,
and offers will be freer. The talk that
has been spread out that exporters are
lacking wheat to fill vessels now In port
is false, when one firm the past week,
having plenty of ships on hand, char
tered a ship that was In port disengaged,
this does not look as If exporte, are suf-
fering for wheat. Walla WaIla wheat is
quoted at 85c per GENITAL, and valley SOC !;
this represents its full tx port value from
this port. Exporters are in the market
at about figures quoted above, but what
business they do is entirely for future
wants, as there is absolutely no need of
wheat for the loading of chartered fleet,
which is working as rapidly as the
weather permits. The milling demand
