WILL CONTEST

Disposed of His Wealth

Disposed of His Wealth
SANTA CRUZ, August 1.-Among the
pioneers who came to California was Cor
nelus King. an uncle of Florence, Mich
ael and James Carey, of the Pajaro val
ley. None of the Careys ever heard OF his
residing in California, and all trace of
him was lost in the tifties. King never
communicated with them ana they re-
garded him as dead years ago. Last
week they learned that King had died in
August OF last year. leaving large estate
which he had bequeatned by will to four
nephews in New York and disinherited
his own brothers and sisters. The Careys
employed George +. Burke, Watsonville
attorney, to investigate Kings affairs and
he went to San Francisco for that pur-
pose and learned that King had been an
inmate of the Napa asylum from 1892 un
til he died and that the estate consists of
over $500 900 in cash, on deposit in San
francisco bank. In the Humboldt Saw
ings Union alobe he had OH deposit $134,-
600. The CaroJs and their relatives in
Europe are preparing to file contest in
San Francisco to revoke the will. There
are circumstances surrounding the execu-
tion of the Will which will be among the
sensational features of the contest when
it comes to trial. The Careys are well to-
do farmers, having resided in the Pajaro
valley for many years.

Charges nsde Against Priest Who Was an
Executor .--~s-.. l.st....
SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 1.-Charges
of a serious nature are made by the heirs
of the late Ellen Gallagher against Father
Dennis Nugenr of st. Roses parish.
They are that he, as the executor OF the
estate. has failed to account for nearly
$50 600, which it is claimed was entrusted
to him, and that he has shown q disposi.
tion to deprive the alleged rightful heirs
of what should be theirs. These accusa-
tions are embodied IN a petition filed in
the superior court,
The heirs demand that Father Nugent
be cited to appear in court and indicate
the whereabouts of the alleged missing
thousands and that he be required to re-
fund the same to tine estate. The money
not accounted for, say the heirs, is either
being held by the executor or has been
disposed OF in some manner unknown to
them. They 60 farther and intimate that
had it not been for tho powerful infu-
ence of Father Nugent exer;ed over Mrs.
Gallagher she would. in their opinion,
have provided for them in her will more
generously than she did. The heirs claim
that although Mrs. Gallagher received
$146. 900 from her husbands estate, she
left an estate of but a little over $50. 900.

MERGED. Aug. 1.-The Coulteryille
stage was held up and robbed at 2 o'clock
this afternoon SIX miles this side OF Smell
ling. George Kirk was driving and had
one passenger. Constance Bartolomo. A
Kirk rounded one of the hilly curves ne-
tween the Six-Mile house and Smelling he
came suddenly upon a lone high wayman,
who greeted him with request to stop
and emphasized the request by pointing
two big pistols at Kinks head. He in
stIucted Kirk to throw ont the express
box. then made him get out and break
the box open with u sledge hammer.
During this performance a boy who
lives at the Six-Mile house drove up with
cart. The robber made him get out and
hitch his horse to the pole and then 60 in
front of the stage team and hold the lead
eIs. During all this time two men. who
were apparently partners OF the robber.
were standing on hillside about 200
yards distant from the scene of the rob-
berry. After the highwaymi had tax en-
all the contents of the express boz. con-
sisting OF four packages, contents un-
known, he made Kirk proceed toward
Merced. while he turned and walked to-
ward the two men on the hill.
Bartolomo, the only passenger on the
stage. had SO in his pocket. AS soon as
ne realized that the man was a robber he
took the money out of his pocket and
tried to hide it under the seat, but the
roI'ber caught him in the act and cap
tured the money. The driver says that
the robber was very cool and deliberate,
and was evidently an old hand at the
business. When he had finished his work
he asked Kirk II the Mariposa stage
would be along in little while, and
when Kirk told him tle Mariposa stage
came down another road, across the
mountains from where they were, he said
he guessed he would not have time to
rob that stage today. AS soon as the
news was brought to town posse was
organized and started in pursuit Of the
robber. UP to 10 o'clock tonight none
of the posse had returned.

SILVER MEN IN VIRGINIA
Democrats Preparing Form of Cam
paign
A Peculiar Plan Evolved to Place the Sound
Money Advocates Upon the
Defensive

CHICAGO. Aug. IA special to the
Post from Washington says: Politics in
the state of Virginia are beginning to as
sumo a new phase, and the silver Demo-
Gratis are preparing for a form of cam
paign which they believe will have the
effect of changing the character of the
present controversy between the factions
of the party.
They propose to practically abandon
free coinage as the leading issue of the
campaign and place the sound money
men upon the defensive by attacking
what they regard as the most vulnerable
points in sound money doctrine. To do
this they propose to use the presidents s
message to the last congress upon the
fl Eancial question, the report of Secretary
Carlisle upon the same SUBJECT, and the
bill which Carlisle prepared and submit.
ted to the house, together with the hill
which was afterwards substituted for the
Carlisle bill by the banking and currency
committee, to show cause that the ad-
ministration and its followers woulu retire
all the greenbacks, the treasury notes and
ultimately the silver dollars. thus causing
contraction OF the currency by the with
drawal from circulation OF more than
$500, 100, ,000 They will further attempt
to show that the definition of sound
money given by the advocates OF sound
money means gold coin and national
bank notes.
The plan adopted by the silver men for
launching this method of campaign is
somewhat peculiar. Some time ago Rep
resentative-elect Otey. OF the Sixth Vir-
ginia congressional district, issued call
for Il convention of silver men of that
district. AS Otey was elected to congress
as silver man and his constituency is
largely composed of silver men it was
naturally wondered what purpose he
could possibly serve by holding such a
meeting. 1t now transpires that this
meeting is to be the fl st step in the
movement the silver men are about to
start and that the influential silver Dem
ocrats of the state are behind it. The
convention will endorse free coinage at
the ratio of 16 to 1, but this is to be only
a minor issue, and dependence for the
effect is to be placed in the other [num-
