SANTA ROSA WILL CONTEST.
THE WIDOW OF WILLIAM CARR
GER SEEKS TO RECOVER
AN ESTATE.
ALLEGATIONS OF UNDUE INFLUENCE
BROUGHT TO BEAR BYA
BROTHER.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, March 29.-The
famous Carriger will contest case comes up
IN the Superior Court here next Wednes-
day. 1t involves the estate of William W.
Carriger of Sonoma, who was shot and
killed by his brother, Albert Bogg CARR
ger, two years ago.
At the time of the killing of William his
wife, Kate Carriger, was suing him for
divorce. The death of William brought
the divorce proceedings to close.
Solomon Carriger, brother of William,
filed the will of William for probate. 1t
cut his widow off without dollar, leaving
all the estate, valued at about $4,000 to
his brothers and sisters.
Mrs. Carriger then brought suit to have
the will set aside, on the ground that Will
liam had been induced to make it while
under the undue influence of his brother
Albert. She claims that he had repre-
sented her as an unworthy woman, which
alienated her husbands affections. The
jury found for her, setting aside the will
The Judge, however, set the verdict aside,
on the ground that the testimony did not
warrant it. The case was appealed, and
the ruling of the lower court was sus-
tanned. The case will now be tried over
again.

SUICIDE at Tehnchnni.

TEHACHAPI, CAL. March 29.-Dr. NJ.
Peery, for number of years past physi-
clan of this place but lately turned miner,
was found dead about $50 yards from his
cabin, five miles west of here. By his side
was found an ounce bottle about one-eighth
full of choral hydrate.
He leaves widow, now attending the
California Medical College of San Fran
cisco, who was notified at once, so as were
also two children by his first wife, both
living here. The Coroner was informed
and will be up from Bakersfield at midnight
to hold an inquest.
Dr. Peery was last seen about noon by
his little boy, about II years old, who
called him to dinner, to which meal he re-
fused to go. About 4 o'clock a negro at
work for him found his body and at once
gave the alarm. Foul play was thought
by many of his friends, but later advices
tend to prove otherwise.
For the past week he had been drinking
heavily and was taking chloral to straight
en- up and indications point to an overdose
taken accidentally.

ACCUSED OF BANK ROBBERY.
Cashier of an EnsenadG Bank Arrested
for Looting Its Coin.

Cashier of an EnsenGdG Bank Arrested
for Looting It's Coin.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, March 29.-Seymour
Jackson, cashier of Godbe & Co.'s bank at
Ensenada, was arrested there to-day
charged with the completely in it's robbery
on the night of the Goth inst.
1t will be remembered that while River
ola & Co. were robbed that night of a
$4,000 gold bar and some $500 in cash,
Godbe & Co. were robbed of $4,000 in gold
and greenbacks. OF this sum $4,000 in gold
belonged to N. H. A. Mason of San Fran
cisco, a mining and stock man.
The bank was entered and the door of
the vault opened by means OF the combi-
nation. 1t was not time-lock as at first
reported. The money was in side vault
There was no clew to the robber, and
when Jackson went to the bank the next
morning at O'Clock he found the vault
open and the money gone, though con-
siderable Mexican coin was left behind.
1t was naturally thought that the same
robbers who got the gold brick went
through the bank.
Jackson is an Englishman, and has been
connected with the bank for four or five
years. He has borne an excellent reputa-
ton, and many in this city who know him
will not believe that he is guilty He has
not surrendered his British citizenship.
and this fact may aid him much in secur-
ing speedy trial. 1t was not known in
Ensenada what evidence had been secured
by the authorities upon which Jackson
was arrested, but it is believed that he is
held only on suspicion. He and Garratt
and Pratt, two young men held on the
other robbery, were quite good friends, but
nothing against any OF the three was ever
brought up before. Another man, saloon
keeper with an unsavory reputation, has
been suspected of the bank-robbery, and is
liable to be arrested.
Detective James Russell of this city has
been in Ensenada for several days working
on the Riveroll case for the Ibarra Mining
Company, owners of the gold bar. Pratt
and CARAT are still kept in solitary con-
finement, and no persons are allowed to
converse with them. They are escorted to
court every day by three soldiers. Pratt is

COLUSA, CAL, March 29.-John seavers
and Lemuel Vaughan shot each other at
$50 this evening during row.
Seavers is a rancher and Vaughan was
in his employ. Yesterday Vernon Watt
thrashed Seavers for saying that he was
riding out with Waughans wife. This
morning Seavers said that Vaughan was
the cause of it and discharged him, paying
him $50 he owed him.
Vaughan returned to town and told his
wife that Seavers was talking about her
and she denied Seavers' statements.
Vaughan said he would go and bring
Seavers. He went to Seavers' place and
the latter returned with Vaughan in a
buggy. Seavers, in the presence of Mrs.
Vaughan, denied saying anything about
her.
Vaughan then told him he lied and beat
him. They were separated, but got to-
gether again and Seavers drew pistol, put
it against Vaughan's body and fired.
Vaughan wrenched the pistol from Seavers'
grasp and stepped back and fired, hitting
Seavers in the stomach. Both are mortally
wounded. They each made statement.
Seavers said that Vaughan took him out
to his house to sell him some furniture
Vaughan said he loved his wife, knew she
was a good woman, and that he took
Seavers to his house to prove that Seavers
had lied He said he ought to have killed
Seavers long ago. 1t is stated that Mrs.
Vaughan and Seavers had falling out
before she married Vaughan.
There is much excitement over the affair.
Seavers lies in a precarious condition at
hotel and Vaughan is at his home.
The District Attorney went to take the
dying dispositions of the wounded men.
What Seavers said is not made public, but
Vaughan said: die be -; 1 am going

VAR OF THE FACTIONS.
There Is W1ld Scramble for the Sacra-
nento Jttdgeship.

There Is q Wftd Scramble for the SdcTG-
nento Judgeship.
SACRAMENTO, March 29.-There is a
first-class war brewing between the reor-
gained and old-line local Democracy over
the appointment of the third Judge, who
will occupy the bench of the Superior
Court of Sacramento County.
Joseph Hughes, who seems to have the
inside track, and is a length ahead of all
competitors in possessing this backing of
majority of the members of the bar at
Sacramento, is an old-time Democrat, and
Tor that reason the recognized faction will
have none of him, and are bringing every
particle OF political influence they possess
to bear upon Governor Budd in an effort
to persuade him not to appoint Mr..
Hughes
The most prominent candidate for the
position Of the reorganized party is w. Ell.
Devlin, an able exponent of the law. The
person who Is seemingly receiving the
orunt OF the displeasure OF the recognized
party is Postmaster w. S. Leake, who pos
sesses the Governors confidence, and is
supposed to be forwarding the interests of
Hughes. The excitement is high over the
matter, and open threats are made that a
petition signed by memberc of the city
and county Democratic committees will be
forwarded to Washington requesting the
removal of that official from Office.
This afternoon delegation from the re-
organized party visited the Governors
office, and endeavored to obtain an au-
dience with his Excellency, but were in
formed that it was simply impossible for
Governor Budd to meet them until he had
recovered from the fatigue attending his
struggle with the mass of legislative mat
ter that has occupied his attention for the
past ten days. 1t must not be inferred that
Governor Budd favors one section more
than the other, but he is simply worn out.
in the meantime war seems imminent be-
teen the factions.

raft is respondent. The examination of
the witnesses by the Judge is made in pri-
vate.
1t was surmised in Ensenada at one time
that the gold might have been struggled
out of the country on the schooner Anita
in order to evade the payment of export
duty, which amounts to almost 10 per cent,
including the papers and revenue stamps,
but the Ibarra Company is too deeply in
terested in the peninsula to run the risk OF
running its enterprise for a small sum
saved in duties.

Criticizan0 the Governor,

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March 29-The
action of Governor Budd in killing the
county government bill by pocket vote
has caused much comment here, as the
bill was calculated to bear directly on this
county. The Express says, editorially, to-
night:
without discussing the fact that the bill
would have reduced the cost of running
the county several thousands of dollars,
serious embarrassment results from the
fact that the county is without power to
appoint assistants to county officers and
pay salaries. Serious complications will
result, and the Supervisors will lay them
selves liable for thousands of dollars per-
sonally if they proceed as heretofore"
