The judges of the supreme court
yesterday morning handed down their
decision in re the estate of H. c. Wells,
D. P. Wells, administrator, Us. John
Kelley ct al, which was argued on
June 3. The judgment of the lower
court was affirmed; opinion delivered
by Judge Bartch and c%oncurred in by
Chief Justice Merritt and Associate
Justices Smith and King.
In November, 1893, D. =. Wells was
removed as administrator of the estate
of Henry C. Wells by the probate
court of Box Elder county on the petit
ton of C. A. Wells and judah Wells,
who charged waste, Acknowledgement
and fraud, and also that the admins
traitor had removed from the territory.
The compliments, who were the
bondsmen of the administrator, with
drew from his bond and John Kelley
was appointed administrator in lieu Of
D. p. Wells.
D. T. Wells appealed to the district
court from the order removing him, On
the ground that he had not been pro-
perly served with the citation. h
service was by publication and ID. +.
Wells contended tina as the last pub
LEGATION occurred but one day prior to
the hearing, the service did not comply
with the statute. The appeal was dis
missed by the district court because no
appeal bond had been filed. From this
ruling the administrator appealed TO
the supreme court, setting up that as
he had given an official bond no add
tional bond was required.

Two MEN In The TANKS. "
THEY ARE SUSPECTED OF BEING
IMPLICATED IN THE stage
MURDER.
ONE OF THEM IDENTIFIED BY Rob-
ERT HAGERTY AS HIS
ASSAILANT.

Two men are in the ''tanks" at the City
Prison who may or may not have had any
thing to do with the murder of Cornelius
Stage at the Ingleside House. One of
them, James Bailey, the peddler, arrested
on the San Bruno road on Sunday night,
has been previously referred to. 1T is not
believed seriously that he was implicated
in the robbery or murder, and why he
should be detained is a puzzle, unless it is
to keep him out of harms way, owing to
his past record.
The othersis II. Meyers, a bunko-man.
In November last, when Robert D. Hag-
erty was held up and shot in his saloon at
the Cliff House by two men wearing masks
and long gray linen busters, he said he
thought he knew one of the men. He
afterward denied saying so, but since the
Stagg murder he has again asserted his be-
lief that he could identity the man. The
description tailed with that of Meyers and
he was arrested. Yesterday Hagerty Wis
tied the prison and declared positively that
Meyers was the man. Meyers is equally
positive that Hagerty is mistaken, and
says he can bring forward hundred wit
nesses, if necessary, to prove an alibi
1t is the general impression that the two
men who are wanted for Stages murder
are the two who committed the robberies
at Hagerty' saloon in November and about
five weeks ago.
Sheriff Cunningham of Stockton was at
police headquarters yesterday. He has
been on the trail OF the two robbers who
held up the eastbound overland express
train on March at Ben Ali, a wayside
station near Sacramento. The two train
robbers were described as about feet 10
inches tall, dressed in linen busters and
wearing white SLOUGH hats and white
masks. In everything except the height
of one they correspond with the robbers
wanted for Stages murder and the Hagerty
rob0eries. In view of this fact the Sheriff s
visit is significant.
The remains of Cornelius ,Stagg were in
TERED in Laurel Hill cemetery yesterday
afternoon. The funeral, which was largely
attended, took place from the residence of
his cousin, Mrs. Josephine Odds, AGO Che

Prosecuting a Denntx.

Annie Larsen entered the Assessors Office
yesterday afternoon and raised disturbance
by abusing Daniel Maloney, one of the depu-
ties She was considerably under the infu-
ence of liquor. Maloney went to police head
quarters, followed by Annie and he had her ar
rested for drunkenness. She fought with the
a noise while there that she was put in the
dark cell. She has an insane idea that Ma
loney dispossessed her mother of some property
on Eleventh street, near Folsom, and has re-
peatedly caused him annoyance. In Septem-
Der and October last five incendiary fires oc-
Cured on Eleventh and Folsom streets, and as
she had threatened to Fire Marshal Towe to
burn down Maloney's houses it was suspected
that she knew something about the fires.

SLOWS STRONG BOX.
The Estate Enriched by the Sum Of just
Two Hundred Dollars.

i - u
Two Hundred Dollars
When w. W. Slows strong box is opened,
said Rumor, $4,000 will be found; that
he placed the money there for certain sin
lister purposes not unconnected with the
operations of Colonel Mazuma.
Slows strong box was opened few days
ago.
Instead of large amount, the sum was
small one, and it was not surprise to
the executors of the estate.
"There was little money found in the
box" said Vanderlyn Stow, son of the de-
parted Park Commissioner and one of the
executors of the estate. ''The amount was
$500. This was no surprise to me, know
ing my fathers habits When he drew
money out of the bank it was his custom,
if the amount was greater than he needed
at the time, TO place the surplus in the
box. Sometimes he put twenty or ten
in the box.
"Then he might go to the box, if in need
of money, and use it. The $500 found in
the box was the accumulation of small
amounts placed there at various times. Of
course the executors will take this amount
into consideration in making their reports.
1t forms a part of the estate, though a
small one
"The report that many thousands of dol
lars had been found in the box grew out OF
the fact that $500 was found, [ suppose
but you know how story will grow if it

evict tenant before the expiration of the
lease. Trinity leased the property from
the Aneke Jams heirs for term Of years,
and now continues to hold it under grant
claimed to have been issued them by Lord
Cornbury in 1900 If they hold such a
grant 1t is illegal, because Aneke JAMS
owned the property under grants issued by
two Dutch Governors and later confirmed
by the English. When the lease expired
six years ago there was no one to fight
Trinity until Mrs. Kepler came to the
front. She has the original grant in her
possession and also the will of Aneke Jams.
Three years ago the Trinity corporation
offered to vacate the property if the heirs
would pay for the improvements. We in
dignantly refused this proposition, because
the improvements reverted to the heirs at
the expiration of the lease. Trinity then
told US they would fight the suit through
every court in America. If'mlght is right
then they will win, for they have millions
at their command. OF course it is quite
possible that we will lose, but the conces-
sion made by Trinity in offering to vacate
if we would pay for the improvements is
strong point in our favor. San Jose, Los
Angeles, Portland and Seattle have local
Aneke Jams associations and are ready for
the fight. Mrs. Kepler is managing the
fight and you may be sure she will make a
strong one -

BIDS RAISED 10 PER CENT.
STILL JUDGE COFFEY REFUSED TO
CONFIRM THE SALE OF
PROPERTY.
MRS. JoHNsoN's REALTY HELD FOR
HIGHER OFFERs-EAsToN's
AUCTION.

The postponed sale of four pieces of
property belonging to the estate of Mrs.
Kate Johnson came before Judge Coffey
yesterday. The sales were not confirmed,
however, even though a 10-per-cent raise
had been made in each case, as the court
considered the prices too small in war
ranting confirmation of the sales. The
confirmation of the bids offered yesterday
was therefore postponed until next Mon
day afternoon.
The property offered yesterday and
which included the only lots which were
not finally confirmed to the highest bid
ders week ago were the iifty-vara lot on
the northwest corner of Golden Gate ave.
nue. and Leavenworth street, the tifty-vara
lot on the southwest corner of Leayen-
worth and O'Farrell streets. which was
used by Mrs. Johnson as a residence, and
two lots in the outside lands. For the
Golden Gate avenue lot Thomas J. Clunie
had bid $74, 900. 1t was appraised at $780,
600. Yesterday James D. Phelan raised
this bid 10 per cent making it $S1 400, and
this Mr.. Clunie declined to increase. He
claimed the bids offered at the sale should
have been affirmed by the court last week,
when higher bids were called for and none
appeared.
Should this bid of Mr.. Phelan be con-
frmed Clunie intends to make legal
fight for the property.
The bid of $45, 900 for the residence prop
erty, made last week by J. J. O'Farreil,
was yesterday raised by N. H. Lang the re-
quired 10 per cent, making it $49,500. The
residence property was appraised at $685.
600. This bid was also laid aside until
Monday next. Mr.. Lang was bidding for
Joseph Hume.
The outside lots, one in block Is and the
other in block 799, were raised. the former
to $3.50 and the latter to $475O. Neither
bid was anywhere near the appraised valu-
alton and they, too, were passed until
Monday. The lot In block 25 is appraised
at $3.50 and the one in block 799 at $500.
