ESTATE OF w. w. wOoTES.

Judge HiSley Makes a. Distribution of
tho Property.
FRESNO. Aug. l2.-Judge Risley to-day
made distribution of the estate of W. w.
Wooten. the wealthy rancher who mys-
teriously disappeared over two years
ago, and of whose murder Professor W.
A. Sanders is suspected. Sanders has
been convicted of forging Wooten's name
to 81 400 draft, and this practically con-
victs him of the murder.
Wooten was legally declared dead. as
no trace OF him, dead or alive, has been
found.
The estate is valued at from $500 TO
$50, 200, consisting OF 300 acres of land In
Fresno and Tuiare Counties, and other
personal property. The real estate was
ordered turned over to Thomas Wooten,
brother of VIM. Wooten, of England.
Personal property consisting of s., 800 in
securities and bank deposits was ordered
distributed to the Public Administrators
and his legal advisers.
An effort has been made 10 connect
Holmes, the famous murderer, with the
disappearance of WoOten. When San
ders was charged with doing awsy with
the old man he said he had been given
the money with which he purchased the
property from Wooten by a man who
had gone East. The party TO whom he
referred has never been located but as
Holmes was IN California about that
time, ne is believed to have planned the
getting of the property and the disposal
OF the old man. Sanders said when ar
rested that he had been given sack of
gold by his friend, and paid Wooten for
the ranch. He exhibited a deed, which
has been pronounced forgery.

GOLD RESERVE.
THE DRAIN UPON IT BEGINS IN
EARNEST.
Over Million and a Quarter With
Drawn From the Sub-Treasury
at New York Yesterday.

WASHIN GToN. Aug. u. - The drain
upon the gold reserve seemed to have be-
gun in earnest to- day. when the officials
were advised OF the withdrawal of 81 $50, =
coo from the Sub-Treasury at New York
for export.
The condition of affairs has occasioned
much speculation as TO the means the
Administration intend to use to replen-
ish the reserve. 1t may be stated almost
authOritatively as being another issue of
bonds, and the calling of an extra session
of Congress that the former Will be re-
stored.
To-day's withdrawal was the largest on
any one day since the contract with the
Belmont Morgan syndicate went into eff
feet last February. They reduce the gold
in the United States Treasury to SlOl, =
302, ,363, or loss OF more than s6, OOO, 900
from the highest point it reached after the
syndicate had made it's final payments
last month.
On July 9th the gold reserve reached
Sl07, ,54l 80, being higher than on any
day, according the Treasury's official
"ten days. statement, since February so.
1898. Between the two dates named SI62.
400, 900 of United States bonds were sold
for gold at prices amounting TO SIS, 900, =
UUU, ana the SOlU reserve, which was
something over S65, ,000, 900 in January.
1898, replenished, as has been done by
these bond sales, amounts to-day to q
little more than SlGl, QUO, or a net loss
OF Sl46, ,OU0.0 0U0.
Department officials are 10th to discuss
the effect of renewed gold shipments, or
to express an opinion as to their proba-
BILE extent or whom the shipments will
cease. or whether the bond syndicate will
feel itself bound TO act in the matter.
With exchange at 492, an exceeding high
figure. the opinion is generally expressed
that gold exports to the extent of So
Goa. 900 or s30.000.00u are likely to occur
before October lst. The only thing that
is likely to reduce the rate OF exchange is
heavy shipments OF American cereals.
The excess Of expenditures over re-
CENTS for the past two years amounted to
SIT. COO, ,G0O and for the month and third
which has elapsed of the current fiscal
year SIS, ,000 600. But the receipts are in
creasing. and officials express the hope
that before January ist next they will
equal the expenditures, or nearly so.

w. s. Brown Excused From Serving
as Il Juror.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 12.-The feature
in the trial of Theodore Durrant this
morning was the decision Of Judge Muir
ply upon the application of the District
Attorney for permission to peremptorily
challenge Juror w. 5. Brown, on the
ground that Brown had voted to acquit
NJ. ID. Howell on the charge of counter
felting because the evidence was circum-
stantial.
The court read long opinion, citing
various decisions, finally allowing Brown
To be challenged.
The defense took an exception, and
may make the decision one point OF an
appeal IL the case goes against them.
Jurors are now harder TO find than
ever, all fearing that their past will be
exploited by the detectives for the prose-
cutiOn or the defense, and if the jurors
record is good, the fear is that some in
nocent act may be distorted.
Juror Brown was then challenged by
the prosecution, and excused by the
court.
Judge Murphy then told the press rep
resentatives that the publication of any
articles which tended to destroy the
chances of the defendant receiving a fair
trial was contempt. He said that his re-
marks did not apply to the present case.
He was satisfied that the reporters did not
intend to evade the law i'll questioning
Juror Brown.
The attorneys for Durrant desired thnt
the newspaper men be proceeded against,
but the court said: There was but one
course TO pursue, tnat is, by issuing cita-
ti0ns, and while they ought to be aud will
be issued If counsel insists upon it, | cam
not allow the proceedings in this case to
be delayed by contempt proceedings at
