The Superior Court, in complaint fled

Crocker, has been asked to declare If George
Crocker has been strictly sober for FIVE
years. If he has been he is entitled to a

an agreement made that day the property
was to be held IN trust for George Crocker

WHARTON is wORSTED.
The Supreme Court viii Not Remove
the Judgment Whereby He Is
Disbarred.

q. F. Wharton, Sacramento attorney
recently disbarred by the Superior Court
Of Sacramento County, appealed to the
Supreme Court for redress yesterday.
Justice Garoutte rendered decision
affirming the judgment of the Capital
City tribunal, Justices Harrison, Hen
shaw. Mcfarland and Temple concurring.
The main charges against Wharton are
that in the divorce case of Hoxie against
Hoxie he filed fraudulent affidavit, and
did the same in his own applicatio for a
divorce from his wife. The affidavits in
bot cases were signed by one Peter
Stortz, who was led to believe that he was
signing receipt in the former instance
and a will in the latter. Wharton's con-
tentions in his own favor are dismissed
from consideration by the court as in
sufficient.

dren Of Charles F. and William H. orOoker

dren OF Charles T. and William 81. Crocker
and Harriet Y. Alexander.
Charles Crocker died August Il, 1888,
and faileo to make any provision for his
son George in his will. The trust prop
erty, which consists of 400 bonds of the
Southern Pacific Branch Railway Company,
has been under the absolute control of the
trustees ever since.
George Crocker did not feel equal to the
task of winning his fortune until Septem-
Der %, 1891. On that day he abjured the
pleasures of the flowing bowl and has since
been sober. The period OF proba-
tion was up day before yesterday, and
George Crocker at once served notice that
he would like to have his half million.
The trustees are not only willing but
anxious to comply with this demand, but
are afraid to take the responsibility of
deciding that the beneficiary is entitled to
the property. They say in the com mpIaint
filed that the minors, who would receive
the money in the event of George
Crocker's failure to do so, mar have some
reason to question the statement as to his
recent sobriety, and hence ask the court
to determine whether or not he Is en-
titled to the money.

In the matter of railroads, Phoenix is
quite fortunate. Until a year ago the
place had only one railroad, and that was
simply a spur OF the Southern Pacific, con-
Meeting this city with the main line at
Marcopa, thirty-five miles distant. But
in February, 1898, the Santa Fe company
completed it's line from Ash Fork, on the
main trunk OF the Atlantic and Pacific, to
this place. The completion of the road
was a great event for Phoenix, marking
the beginning Of new era in the city's
growth and development. 1t was cele-

the iron chain that holds Los Angeles and
Phoenix together. People living hero now
feel that they are in closer touch with
Southern California's metropolis, which
means that they are no longer isolated

when passengers reach this end they find
themselves alighting from the cars at nice

1t Required Eight Men to Get Him Under
Control
Martin Mortimer, an insane man, at
tempted his life in the city Jail last night,
and the efforts of eight men were neces.
sary to prevent him from committing
further violence. Mortimer was discovered
about o'clock in the evening by Officer
Sawyer. The man was acting in queer
manner at the corner of Washington and
Main streets, so the officer had him taken
to the police station.
Mortimer was placed in the kitchen and
shortly after 10 o'clock asked a trusty to
bring him a drink of water. While the
latter was absent Mortimer removed his
suspenders, and wrapping them around his
neck tried to strangle himself. Jaier
