Litigation for the Big Estate Probably
at an End.


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 1.-The final
decision in the famous Blythe case was
rendered by the Supreme Court yester-
day. 1t was in favor of Florence Blythe
Hinckley, and sweeps away the last OBJ
stacle to the accession by the young
girl to the millions of her bachelor
father.
In thus disposing of the case the Su-
preme Court sustained Judge Coffey on
three different appeals. OF these ap-
peals the most important was taken by
Sarah Davis, one of the Savage heirs.
Mrs Davis appealed from the decree of
distribution. She claimed that not hav-
ing been party to the original contest,
she was entitled to litigate her claim of
heirship just as though the case had not
been determined against her brothers.
William and David Savage, both of
whom were partners to the original
contest which was decided on all points
in favor of the girl Florence.

STOCKTON, Dec. IA few weeks
ago George Morris, agent for Wells
Fargo Express Company at Chinese
Camp, near this city. was brutally
murdered, supposedly by road agents.
Detectives were placed on the case, and
to-day a confession was secured from
Miss Ada McReynolds of Chinese Camp,
wherein she states that she was enam-
ored of Morris, who rejected her, and in
a fit of pique she induced her brothers,
Albert and Wesley McReynolds, to
murder the express agent in revenge
for the slight. The brothers shot Morris
in cold blood, and attempted to cover
UP their work by giving it the appear
ance of robbery. Excitement at the
camp runs high, and officers will re-
move the trio from the county to pre-

IS. S. Bassler of the Weather Bu-
reau entertained number of Weather
Bureau officials Friday who have been
at the State Weather Service conven
ton at Indianapolis. Among them are
). A BarWick of Sacramento, Cal, OBJ
server of the United States Bureau
and Director of the California Weather
Service.
Mr.. Barwick says that there are
months in his State when there is no
need of any weather bureau, the eli
mate being so equitable. But again it
is of incalculable service. For in
stance, during this last September
there were heavy and unexpected rains
IN the raisin region. The raisins are
left out of doors in trays to dry and
thousands of dollars worth would have
peen ruined had it not been for the
weather warnings that enabled fruit
men to stack up the trays and keep
them dry
Another good thing the service does
is to warn against hot northerS in June.
His bureau predicts for California, Ari
iona, Utah and Nevada, using the tele-
graph to some extent to send out warn
ings. His State has temperature from
40 degrees below zero to 80 degrees
above and annual rainfall from one
inch to ninety inches.
He has been in his present post for
fourteen years. He was born in Balti
more, drove cattle across the hills when
Denver was but big village and now
he thinks California is the greatest
State in the Union and is prepared to
prove it. He is a jolly bachelor with

TALK ON THE LAW OF HOMESTEADS.
Made Before Members of the SaCra-
mento Law Club.
1t is Good Law, Even Though 1t
May be Sometimes Taken Adj
vantage of.

On Saturday evening an interesting
lecture on the law of this State affect
ing homesteads, especially as to pro-
bate homesteads, was delivered by At
torney H. c. Ross, Jr., before the Sac
ramento Law Club.
Mr.. Ross began by speaking of the
erroneous idea most lay men have of
the objects of the law exempting home
steads from the payment of ordinary
debts, and the general impression
seems: to be that such laws were enacted
for the purpose of aiding dishonest per-
sons to avoiding the payment of their
honest debts.
1t is true, he said, that such is the re-
suit in some instances. But there never
was humane and beneficent law that
did not work hardships in some cases.
The object of the law is to protect and
maintain intact families and prevent
divorces, for it is true in many cases
that when poverty come in at the
front door, love goes out of the back. p"
Ii makes no difference how rich a man
may be, for misfortune may come and
he be left without a roof to protect his
family. AS all who give credit know, or
law, they can easily protect them
selves
Mr.. Ross said it was the duty of all
attorneys to advise their clients to file
homesteads, whether they. be rich or
poor. 1t is every mans duty to protect
those dependent upon him for main
tenance. AS the courts all look upon the
homestead right as a sacred one, the
greatest care should be taken in their
conveyance and incumbrance. The Cal
ifOrnia Reports are filled with cases
where property or security has been
lost by the merest technical error in the
instruments of conveyance of incum-
brance.
The speaker cited a case where deed
had been made by a Observation-Disclosures
an attorney, in fact-and his wife of q
homestead While the deed was correct
in all formalities, yet the court held
that it was absolutely void because the
deed was not signed by both spouses in
person; that the right to dispose of a
homestead could not be delegated.
He spoke fully of the manner in
which probate homesteads may be set
aTart by the probate courts; of the eff
feet of the order setting apart; how far
the jurisdiction of such courts extend J;
the length of time that the exemption
right to such hOmesteadS continue. He
cited many decisions on the subject.
The Sacramento Law Club is COM
posed of some twenty members of the
Sacramento Bar Association. The club
meets every Tuesday and Saturday
evenings at the offices of its President,
Charles F. Gardner. Saturday evening
is lecture night, and on this evening
