CALIFORNIA BIG FORTUNES.
How They Have Been Divided VI
Among Many Heirs.

How They Have Been Divided Up
Among Many Heirs.
Denver Field and Farm: California
has long had a reputation as the home
of the bonanza king and recently is
sued document, based on the records of
the San Francisco probate court, tells
an interesting story of the contests and
entanglements which have maSsed
about the last testament of
the final disposition of the vast
sums they left behind them. The
document gives the history of 90
wills, disposing of $175, 900, 900. About
400 heirs divided that vast sum, and
today nearly half of that number are
penniless again. and only a few have
succeeded in adding to their inheri-
lance.
The average number of persons pro-
vided for in each will was 10, though
in a number of instances, the most
notable of which was the case of
Florence Blythe, the entire estates
passed into the hands of single heirs.
The comparatively small estate of
Kate Johnson, which was appraised at
81, $50 600, reached more heirs than any
other, the number on the list being
%, while the s4,0OOOOO of Thomas Blythe
went to the one child, Florence, after
Coleman was valued at s1,757, 900, and
it went equally to three heirs. Charles
Crockers s. S22, 900, 900 reached six persons,
while Mary Ann Crocker's S11, 1873, 657
went share and share alike to four of
the six who got Charles Crocker's large
fortune.
Peter Donahue's s9,7OS,312 went in
equal parts to three heirs. Mrs.
Theresa Fairs S4,693,250 went to three
persons-Charles l.. Fair, Miss Vir-
ginia Fair and Mrs. Charles Oelrichs,
while William p. Fuller distributed his
81, III, 262 to seven persons of his name.
Emanuel Goldsteins $1,000, 900 went to
six heirs. George Hearts's $S,7SS,1
went in equal parts to his wife and son,
while Walter Hobart's $5,273,366 went
in thirds to his three children-Walte
Hobart Miss Ella Hobart and Mrs.
Wenthrop Lester. Mary Hopkins $780,
694,7 went to two persons. Robert c.
Johnson's S1,910,550 went to II persons
in almost equal portions.
There are a few exceptions to the
general course of estates, as in the case
of Lick and Stanford. The $4,000, 900
of the Lick estate went chiefly to one
heir, and to number of trusts of a
public nature created before James
Lick's death Charles Mclaughlin left
his s2,476,000 to his widow, while Alex
ander Montgomerys s2,356, S45 went to
three heirs. Daniel T. Murphy's ST.
041.6 $40 went to six heirs. William S.
O'Briens 1855, $50 reached eight per-
sons. James Phelan left an even ST.
900, 900, which reached four persons in
shares and a number. of small requests.
A J. Pope's $1,660, 900 reach four heirs.
Washington Ryer left $1,276, 1893 to Is
persons. Leland Stanford's ST. SIS. 319
went to four persons and the trust for
the university.

THE CUNNING OF ELEPHANTS.
Some Examples of Their Sagacity
While in Their Wild State.


While in Their Wild State.
Philadelphia Inquirer: Several years
ago large bull elephant was captured
by Cripps, the famous elephant taker
of Ceylon The animal made a des-
perate struggle ct first, but was finally
conquered and led into the corral by
two elephants trained for the purpose.
The moment il entered the enclosure
it sank upon the ground and appar
emily died of what natives termed
broken heart. Every effort was made
to restore the elephant. 1t was treated
by the doctors, Dinched with spears
by the mahouts, but all to no purpose,
and it was finally deserted. But the
moment the natives reached safe dis
lance the willy beast sprang to its feet
and with exultant trumpeting rushed
through the corral fence and into the
forest, where its cries of delight at
the success of its ruse were heard for
some time.
Mice will feign death TO escape a cat,
and even human beings at times adopt
this ruse to escape from the various
enemies. Almost every great lion
hunter has tried it with this animal,
and often with success. A famous ele-
phant hunter Was caught - a rogue
elephant and tossed in the air, after
which the ferocious brute attempted to
kneel upon him and crush him; but
the hunter did not move, realizing that
it was his only salvation, and the ele-
plant, thinking him dead, turned and
ran into the brush.
One of the most remarkable instances
of presence of mind on record was that
shown by Selous, the African big game
sportsman. He was cauSht by an en-
ragged elephant, which he had wounded,
- mr. Ilinnp6 n the Garth hU a fnSl<
which cut through his thigh to the
bone, tearing a gaping wound. Selous
retained consciousness and pretended
TO be dead. The elephant watched him
closely for a few moments to see if he
was alive. then ierked his tusk from
his body and the ground which it had
penetrated. rose to its feet and stag
gered off TO receive its death from
friends of the plucky hunter, who had
not fired, fearing that the animal
world fall and crush the wounded
man.

was named after General Denver when
he had been appointed governor of
Kansas, at which time Colorado was
included in the territory.
