Curious Complications Over an Insane
Mans Estate.
Curious complications have arisen over
the estate of f. V. Fisher, who was COM
mitted to the Napa Insane Asylum few
days ago. Fisher has no relatives in the
United States, and so his intimate friend,
P. n. Kuss, applied for letters of guardian
ship. Now, before such letters can be
issued bond must be fixed according to
the size of the estate. Mr.. Fisher had
property of the value OF 5000 and besides
a numbe of notes, kept in a strong box
with the Safety Deposit Company.
But Mr.. Russ knows absolutely nothing
OF the value of these notes and cannot be
appointed guardian until the court has
some approximate value of them. The
Safety Deposit Company refuses access to
them except by Mr.. Fisher or some person
authorized to represent him by the court.
AS the court cannot appoint without know
ing the value OF the estate the compiled
ton is rather serious and extraordinary
one.

by Mrs. Baroteau to call upon her and
ring the sidedoor bell. Mrs. Baroteau de-
MES that she ever asked Mr.. Hatch to call,
or that Mr.. Baroteau has ever treated her
cruelty, or that she ever talked to Mr..
