Milton 5. Halsey's Suit for II
Mothers Estate.

Milton s. Halsey's Suit for His
Mothers Estate.
The case of Milton S. Halsey against
James Bithell has been decided by Judge
Johnson in favor of HaIsey. The action
was brought to set aside a deed of trust
given by Mrs. Halsey previous to her
death. wherein she conveyed all her
property in trust to James Bitheu 1t was
conditioned that should Milton Halsey at
any time require money to support HIM
self with, he was TO receive it, although
he was to receive no money from the
estate while engaged in labor.
The court finds that Mrs. Hasey was
not in a condition OF mind three days oe-
fore her death to fully realize the import
of her action, and directs that the deed of
trust be set aside. But it also finds that
the estate has been honestly and efficient
ly managed by Bithell and that there was
no ground for the allegation that be was
concerned with others in wrongly in
huencing Mrs. Halsey's action.
The estate consists of real property in
this city worth about Sll. .030 or SI2 900.
Young Halsey's attorneys were l.. G..
Hart y. NJ. Johnson and A. De Ligne.

THE GREEN EYED MONSTERS WORK.
1t Comes Near Making a Job for the
Coroner.
a Lodging House Landlady Appears
to Have Been the Bone Of
Contention.

There came near being a murder on
street, between Sixteenth and Seventeeth,
about 1880 o'clock Saturday night, and
from the statements made by mum mber
of young men who were onlookers of
what transpired. it appears that two men,
George w. Robinson and q man named
Lawrence, got into fight about woman.
Robinson and the proprietress of a
! lodging house were walking up street,
between Sixteenth and Seventeenth, and
when near Seventeenth, Lawrence. who
was across the street with a young
woman employed in a millinery shop,
crossed over to where they were, and be-
| gan talking to the woman in Robinson's s
company. Suddenly the woman slapped
Lawrence in the face, and Robinson, be-
| lieving that Lawrence would retaliate by
striking her, warned him not to do SO.
! The two men then began fighting, and
! during the scrimnage u shot WAS fired
! from pistol, which 1t Is claimed Robin
son pulled out of his pocket at the COM
mencement OF the fight. Lawrence, it is
said, got the weapon away from Robin
son, but before he had an opportunity to
| turn it on the latter some young men
| took it away from him.
Robinson, together with a number Of
young men who were attracted to the
scene by the excitement, went to the
police station, where the pistol was turned
| over to Sergeant Plunkett.
! 1t is said Robinson admitted to the
! young men who accompanied him to the
| police station that the pistol was his, but
! he denied all ownership of it to Sergeant
! Plunkett.
1t is supposed that jealousy was at the
! bottom of the affair.

THE ATHLETES OF TEE HIGH SCHOOL
Results of Their First Field Days
Events.
Several Good Records Established In
Broiling Sun-Some Fast
Sprinting.

Quite a large crowd of High School
pupils and their friends gathered at Agri-
cultural Park last Saturday afternoon to
witness the athletic exercises participated
in by the students OF the Sacramento
High School.
This was the first field day ever held by
the school. but in all probability it will
not be the last. The purpose of this
meet was to make school records, and Incl
dentally to find out those most fitted to
be representatives in contests with other
High Schools of the Stale.
The first event, 100-yard dash, was
won by w. Ross in 10 4-5 seconds. The
other contestants were r. Waring, c..
Reith and J. Toomey.
Ii. Smith defeated J. Ely in the run
ming broad jump, making 10 feet 81
inches.
Ross won the 220-yard dash against
Waring in 26 seconds. Keith failed to
toe the scratch
E. Birdsall threw the 16-pound ham
mer 5S feet 2 inches, winning the event
over K. Merkley and Keith.
Although the SUMS rays were broiling
hot, Ross carried the 440-yard dash in
50 10 seconds, Ely second, Leitch third.
Ross was skipping along looking over
his shoulder at the others toward the
finish.
Scott was winner in the one-mile run,
which was made III minutes and -
seconds, Mott second, Estes third. Ely
Withdrew.
Merllley put the l6-pound shot 81 feet
inch, Keith second BIrdsall third.
In the running high jump Faris de-
teated Ross and Leitch by jump of
feet inches.
In all attempt for a record he made 4
feet IL inches. This gain of three inches
was wholly due to the applause received
from the fair spectators i'll the grand
stand.
By far the most exciting event was the
twO-mile bicycle race between Birdsall
NJ. Upson and l. Steinman, and was won
by the first III minutes 80 20 seconds.
Relth threw the baseball 2o4 feet 8
inches, about one yard farther than III.
Smith.
Ross pole-vaulted feet 3 inches, defeat
feating Smith and George NJ Morgan Mott,
Jr. he winner reserved q chance for
raising the record until some future time,
probably until alter his two months on
the ranch.
The final event of the day was the half
mile run, won by Waring, LeitCh second,
Ely third. Time-2:36 I-5.
"Irilby" Ross carried oft the honOrs of
the day, having won four events This
is the more surprising when the fact is
taken into consideration That it was the
first time he ever participated in athletic
games.
Reth and Birdsall tied for second place
each having gained two first places.
The peace was admirably preserved by
Senior Marshal Bradford and his able
corps of assistants Westlake, Dickens
and "Monsieur' Baton.
The judges were j. II. Pond L. S. Up
son and ). j. Lubin; starter, l. May;
timers, c. Harrison, II. Nichols and W.
Quinton; announcer, +. Michel.
Merely the athletic abilities of the stu
dents were shown on Saturday. Those
who are anxious to know what the pupils
can do in the literary line should not fail
to attend the graduating exercises to be
held in the metropolitan Theater, on
July 10Th.
