pumping works, Golden Gate park, was
held up by two young men between and
o'clock last night.
Sheehan lives near the pumping works.
He had been downtown and as he reached
the short tunnel not far from the Halght-
street entrance the two young men sprang
upon him. They knocked him down and
one of them kicked him in the ribs while
the other struck him in the face. He
grappled with one and threw him down,
but the other soon overpowered him and
they robbed him of 81, all the money he
had IN his pockets. He was taken to the
Receiving Hospital, where an ugly cut on
his face was dressed.
Sergeant Thomson of the park police
arrested two young men in Hagerty's
saloon at the Cliff House shortly afterward.
Sheehan identified one of them at the hos
pital but he was not so sure about the
other: They were not charged but were
placed in the tanks"

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It affords me
great pleasure to call the attention of the
public to Yale's Excelsior Hair Tonic, which
is the first and only remedy known to
chemistry which positively turns gray
hair back to its original color without dye.
1t has gone on record that Nine. M. Yale
wonderful woman cnemist-has made
this most valuable of all chemical discov-
eries. Nine. Yale personally Endorses its
action and gives the public her solemn
guarantee that it has been tested in every
conceivable way, and has proved itself to
be the ONLY Hair Specific. 1t STOPS HAIR
FALLING Immediately and creates lux
urious growth. Contains no injurious in
gredient. Physicians and chemists invited
to analyze it. 1t is not sticky or greasy:
on the contrary it makes the hair soft,
youthful, fluffy, and keeps it in curl. For
gentlemen and ladies with hair little
gray, streaked gray, entirely gray, and
with BALD HEADS, it is specially recon-.
mended
All druggists sell it. Price, 81.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-19

was decided to divulge the secret.
Mr.. Lloyd said: Immediately after the
death OF the late Senator James G.. Fair
several persons told Charles Fair and
others that the Senator had made a simple
Will, giving his property to his children
Wlthout creating any trust, and that he
had gwen Charles Fair a half million
above third of the estate after leaving
iegacles 70 relatives and charitable institu-
tons. We tried hard to locate this will.
In TACT the delay we caused in the proceed
lngs was Tor the purpose of finding the
VIII winch we firmly believed to exist.
Mrs. craven has been championing the
project to get law passed by the Legis-
lature to pension the aged school teachers.
She called on Governor Budd to see how
the matter had been understood by him,
ana while talking to him made an Incl
dental remark that Senator Fair had left a
provision In will giving $4,000 to the
pension fund.
"Goyernor Budd is entitled to the credit
OF flndlng the will. He telegraphed to me
!nlneulately after his conversation with
search
AT first Mrs. Craven disavowed any
knowledge of the will, but finally, on the
ADVICE OF her attorney, she admitted that
Senator Fair had made the will in her
house, and that he had left it in her pos
session. Senator Fair had been well ac-
qualnted with Mrs Craven for years. They
were old family friends, and he frequently
visited her.
ION September "a last Senator Fair
called on Mrs. Craven, and in the course of
conversation told her he had made several
Wills, but that none of them were to his
liking, as the attorneys who drew them up
Influenced him to put in some provisions
he did not like. Mrs. Craven asked Sena-
tor Fair why he did not sit down some
time, and draw up will in manner to
suit himself.
"On the spur of the moment Senator
Fair sat down and wrote out this will. He
was very careful in writing it and asked
Mrs. Craven several times how to spell
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-19

handling. The attorneys for the executors
under the first known will objected to the
framing of the document, AS they could not
closely examine it.
1t was finally agreed that a close exam
lnation of the papers could be made on
order OF the court when representative at
torneys on both sides were present. AS it
stands now all the attorneys of the heirs
are opposed to the attorneys of the ex-
ecutors named in the first will.
The will has been pronounced by the
attorneys of the executors to be forgery.
They admit, however, that the writing is
remarkably like that of the late James g.
Fair. In fact, they state it is the greatest
and cleverest forgery known in the history
of the world. The will is written in a
straightforward manner and has every ap-
pearance of being genuine, thought he
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-19

regard to the genuineness of the will. The
attorneys have taken sides according to the
way the new will affects their clients. Mrs.
Oelrichs and Miss Virginia Fair will favor
the new will. The executors of the first
will, even Crothers and Angus who are
named as executors of the second will,
have stated that they will oppose the pro-
bate of the new will.
1t appears that Senator Fair either had a
mania for making wills or changed his
mind nearly every day as to how he should
leave his wealth. Three wills are known
to be IN existence. Attorney W. S. Good
fellow has the first one, which Senator
Fair had him draw up alone. Then Fair
went to Plerson IL Mitchell and had them
draw up the stolen will, cautioning them
not to tell Goodfellow anything about it.
Three days later he is alleged to bave'made
the newly produced will. He is believed
to have made several wills before the one
which Goodfellow now holds, and which
he expected to file in case the stolen will
should have been set aside.
DR.. Marc Livingston, the new executor,
attended Senator Fair for several years up
to his death. He is associated with DR.
Miner and has an Office at 215 Kearny
street. He was friendly with Senator Fair
and kept with him so much in his last i'll
ness that he was called the death watch. :"
DIR. Levingston is also very friendly with
Governor Budd. He was reported to have
heard that Senator Fair made a Photographic
will. He stated last evening that he knew
nothing whatever about the newly dis.
covered will. He had been told by Angus
and Bresse that they had once seen Senator
Fair write out a will in his office. This
was prior to the time of the writing of the
last will.
Charles Stillwell, the detective, was in
the employ of the attorneys representing
the Fair children. He was instrumental
IN hunting down the new will. He said
that not the slightest doubt could exist as
to the genuineness of the will, as it would
be clearly proved when all the circum-
public.
George A. Knight said: 1.-THE accusa-

Dated San Francisco, Cal, March 10, 1895.
Attorney Lloyd asked that the court ap-
point Tuesday, April 2, at 10 o'clock, for
the hearing of the petition to probate the
will. The order was made by Judge Slack.
Garrett McEnerney arose and said he
presumed the new proceedings did not IN
terfere with the matter set for hearing by
the court-that of accepting the certified
copy of the stolen will. He then presented
the copy of the will which has been held
all the time by Attorneys Pierson and
Mitchell.
Attorney Wheeler objected to the offer
of the copy of the will being accepted.
Judge Slack overruled the objection and
granted Attorney Wheeler ten days to file
bill of exceptions.
Carrot MeEnerney then made motion
that the copy of the stolen will be filed in
place of the original.
Attorney Wheeler again objected, but
his objection was overruled, and he was
given ten days to file his bill of exceptions.
The attorneys all agreed that the petit
ton to probate the will should go over,
and Judge Slack ordered that all the mat
tiers in the case be continued until april 2.
This ended the proceedings and the at
torneys gathered around the clerks desk
to examine the new document.
The new will is written entirely in lead
pencil, presumably by Fair himself. As it
was written in lead pencil Attorney Lloyd
had placed each of the two sheets of paper on
which the will was written between pieces
of glass and then framed the exhibit This
precaution. was made so that the wording
of the viii would not .be rubbed out by
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-19

way in which it was introduced and the
peculiar time at which it was produced
caused many to be skeptical.
The attorneys for Fairs children, who
belong to the most reputable legal firms in
examination of the will before accepting
1t, and they point to the fact that Mrs.
Craven, who was the custodian of the will
Is very reputable lady. She is principal
OF the Mission Grammar School, and has
been teacher in the public schools of
this city for many years. The other wit
ness to the will is Mrs. Haskins, an elderly
widow, who resides in the same house with
Mrs. Craven.
The history of the newly found will was
made public by Attorney Reuben H.
Lloyd. At the time the will was produced
in court all the attorneys having knowl-
edge of the newly found will had agreed
not to make public the name of the two
witnesses. Late yesterday afternoon q

San Francisco, Cal. September "a, 1894.
When the new will had been submitted
Attorney Lloyd asked for an order to show
cause why the will should not be admitted
to probate. He then presented the fellow
ing petition for the probate OF the will:
