A Question Now Arises as to His
Interest in the Will of
Mrs. McGlincy.
FINE LAW POINTS INVOLVED.
M. T. Brewer Opposes the Public Ad.
ministrator's Application for
Letters.

SAN JOSE, CAL, June 19.-The appli-
cation of Public Administrator ]. K. Sec
ord for letters of administration upon the
estate of James K. Wells, son of Mrs. R.
P. McGlincy and one of Dunham's VIC
Tins, came up for hearing in Judge Rey-
nolds' court this morning.
The application of Secord is contested
by NJ. T. Brewer, the recently appointed
guardian of Dunham's baby. who has also
applied for letters on Wells estate.
A peculiar question has arisen in the
case. Under her will Mrs. McGlincy left
the entire estate to James K. Wells, and
the question is as to which of the two died
first. If Mrs. McGlincy died first then
James K. Wells inherited the property
valued at $4,000, and Percy Osborne
Brewer, as Dunham's child is now known,
is direct heir to the estate. If Mrs. Nc
Glincy survived Wells and Mrs. Dunham,
her daughter, then her relatives are also
heirs to the property.
Mr.. Brewer, who is the baby's guardian,
makes the contention that Mrs. McGlincy
died first, and by reason of his relation
ship he should have control Of the child s
estate. Some little testimony as to Mrs.
McGincy's prior death was offered and
not contradicted. If Wells died first he
would have no estate upon which to ad-
minister.
Judge Reynolds, after hearing argument
in the matter, took the case under advise
ment.

Suits and Counter Suits Brought by
Southern Catifornid,ss.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, June 19.-The
classic subur ban town of Pasadena is con-
siderably wrought up over the suit of DR..
Denis S. Green, prominent physician
there, against W. 1. F. Randolph, his wife,
Marie Randolph, and son, T. E. Ran
dolph, for $4,000 alleged damages for
malicious and false prosecution.
The action is brought in the Superior
Court of this county. DR.. Green was ar
rested az Pasadena in March last on COM
plant of the Ranaolphs. The complaint
charged that the doctor amused himself
one morning by beating his horse as it
stood in stall in the stable, and that he
kept up the lashing for ten minutes.
The prosecution alleged that by reason
of his cruelty to the horse. he brought
himself within range of the law with re-
gard to cruelty to animals.
Green was tried before Justice Morrison
eff this City, and then brought the present
suit, including as defendants, Randolph,
his wife and son. DR.. Green alleges that
he has been q practiclng physician in
Pasadena for eleven years past and has
borne a good reputation in the COM
munity; that by reason of the prosecution
he has been injured in his business, and
the damage he has sustained amounts to
500 900.
In their answer defendants allege that
they believed the charge to be true when
the complaint was sworn to and that there
was probable cause to justify them in that
belief. They deny that there was any,
thing malicious in the prosecution. Quite
a number of witnesses from Pasadena are
in attendance at the trial. The impanel-
ing of the jury in the case was going on
this afternoon

Claim They Were Principals in
a Midnight Elopement on
Horseback.
IN WHICH THE GIRL wEAKENs
District Attorney Wallace Thinks
They Might Also Have Held Up
the Stage.

RAYMOND, CAL, June 19.-Of the
three men who were yesterday arrested on
suspicion of having robbed the Yosemite
stage it is doubtful if either is the crimi-
nal There is strong set of circumstances
surrounding the actions of Littlefeld and
Robinson. For some time past Littlefeld
has been engaged to young lady named
Miss Neva Lock, who lives short dis
tance from town. About month ago the
mother and father of the young lady for
bid Littlefeld coming to their house and
since that time the young lady has not
been in the company of Littlefield.
Littlefeld claims that he had a prear-
ranged plan with Miss Neva that on the
night before the robbery she was TO start
for CouIterville, under the prete1t of Wis
iting her sister-in-law at that place; that
he, in company with Robinson, overlook
Miss Lock, who was accompanied by Miss
Olive Whitfield, at about l O'Clock in the
morning between Raymond and Mari
poss, the young ladies having started on
horse back about the middle of the night
in order to avoid the heat of the day, and
there Miss Lock refused to elope, stating
that her parents had exacted a promise
from her to refrain from having anything
to do with him.
When Robinson and Littlefield accom-
panied the young ladies as far as Mariposa
they turned back and arrived at Raymond
about two hours after the robbery, where
they were arrested.
The officers do not know how much
credence to give this story, until Miss
Lock is interviewed. The young lady, it
is expected, will return from Coulterville
tonight or in the morning.
The day preceding the robbery Littlefield
wanted to change hats with the proprietor
of one of the hotels here, and when he was
refused he surreptitiously accom- plished his
object later in the day. He was also try
ing to borrow pistol, but was refused by
every one whom he asked.
Miles Wallace, the District Attorney, ar
rived here to-day and has been investigat-
ing the matter.
He says that under the facts as stated
by Littlefeld plenty of time could have
been had by the prisoners to go about
three miles out of their way, rob the stage
and return to town when they did. A few
days prior to the robbery LittIeield was
"broke'' and penniless, and when arrested

said, lately sold his cattle for several
hundred dollars. The preliminary ex-
animation was set by Justice Aver at
o'clock tomorrow, but the complaint now
on file will probably be dismissed and a
new one will be filed, as the proper ar
rangement and procedure have been COM
piled with in the present instance.

tary of the st. Louis County Agricul-

elected a director of the state agricul-
tural society, is very much interested
in the subject. In this Northern Fair
association it is proposed to include
all the counties north of Hi0ckley
and as far west as possible. 1t Is
hardly probable that any counties
beyond Crow Wing would come in.
It is intended that there will he q
fair each year, probably In the latter
part of September or first of October.
The state fair is held early In Sep
TENDER, but the vegetables and gar
den products in the northern counties
hardly ripen by that time, and the
southern portion of the state has a
large advantage. Out Of thirteen
counties above the Twin Cities,
which competed for prizes at the last

His experience in the house and as
