WERE IMPROPERLY SUED.
Judge Hunt Has Released Some
of the Heydenfeldt
Defendants.
Ashton and Jacobs Should Not Have
Been Included in a Suit to Set
Aside Deeds.

Judge Hunt has sustained the demurrer
of Charles Ashton and Julius Jacobs to
the complaint of Henriett Heydenfeldt,
who was suing to have set aside the trans
fer OF property from Heydenfeldt to
Elizabeth .. Howard and Katherine Col
Inns. The demurrer was upon several
grounds, principal among which were
that the statute of limitations barred the
action and that there was misjoinder of
parties and actions. In rendering opinion
the court comments on those points as
follows:
In this case it is not alleged that the plaintiff
was ignorant OF the acts OF fraud complained
OF at the time of the commission thereof; nor
does II appear that she was ignorant thereof at
the time OF her husbands death. Assuming that
the statute of limitations would not commence
to run against her until after her husbands
death, it is not alleged that the fraudulent acts
complained OF were discovered by her within
period OF three years prior TO the commence
ment Of this action.
In referring to the fact that there was
misioinder of parties the court says:
Assuming that the matters charged against
the defendants, Ashton and Jacobs in refer
ence TO their fraudulent procurement OF the
probate OF the Will OF Heydenfeldt. deceased,
constitute q cause OF action against them, such
cause OF action is improperly united with the
cause Of action asserted against the demurring
parties II is clear that the demurring de-
PENDANTS are in no way concerned with the re-
suit of the probate proceedings in the estate of
the deceased. Their conveyances, were ex-
ecuted by the deceased during his lifetime;
whether the VIII was fraudulently probated or
the court was imposed upon is q matter of no
concern whatever to these defendants.
The matters charged against the defendants
Ash ton and Jacobs, are inserted IN the COM
plaint apparently for the purpose of obtaining
an order setting aside the probate proceedings
in question; indeed this relief is prayed for in
the bill. AS these matters in no waV relate to
the defendants demurring or affect the prop
erty in question claimed by them, l am of the
opinion that there is an improper joinder of
causes of action herein.
Ten days were given the plaintiff to
amend her complaint in accordance with
the suggestions of the opinion filed. Should
previous ignorance of the alleged fraud
not be shown, however, another demurrer
under the statute of limitations will finish
the case.

SEALING REGULATIONS.
Fifty Copies Arrive at Last at the
CustOm-House From Washin gton.


Custom House From Washington.
The sealing regulations for 1896 have
at last arrived from Washington, about
| fifty copies having been received at the
Custom-house. Only two or three of the
San Francisco feet have put to sea, the
Others having preferred to wait until copies
OF the new regulations came.
As is pretty well known by this time, the
regulations require the sealers to take out
special licenses and carry distinctive flags
A recent letter from the Treasury Depart
ment to Collector Wise emphasized the
necessity of taking out the licenses whether
intending to hunt within the area of the
Paris award or not, as any craft caught in
the award area would be liable to seizure
if not possessed of such license on the
presump ption that it was there for the pur-
pose of hunting seals.
By the act of Congress of April 6, 1894,
giving effect to the award of the Paris Tri-
bunal of Arbitration. sealing within the
sixty y-mile zone around the Pribilov ISL
ands is positively forbidden, and in the
award area it is forbidden during the close
season MAY, June and july. Sealing
within the waters OF the award area is per-
mItted at any other time of the year, pro-
vided the act and the regulations are
=
lights, ogbook entries, reports and char
acter of weapons used. The award area
extends from the Pacific Coast westward to
the one hundred and eightIeth meridian of
longitude and its south limit is the thirty
fifth parallel OF north latitude. Sealers
are in the area as soon as outside the
Golden Gate.
Tie important changes in the new
regulations are: First, a requirement that
vessels carry at night two vertical lights of
natural color in conspicuous position, at
least ten feet above the deck and visible in
clear weather at least one mile; second,
that all vessels bound for Bering Sea must
first report to the revenue cutter officer at
Alton Island or the Deputy Collector OF
Customs at Unalaska, which officers shall
properly secure under seal the guns and
ammunition of the vessels so reporting
and attest their logbooks, and, third, that
all masters of vassels shall report their
catches to the Custom -houses at the re-
turn ports and verify their logbooks.
Their logs must be scrupulously Kept in
every detail.

Thomas Upson, the Bogus Lottery
Ticket Man, Sent to the County
Jail for Six Months.


Thomas Upson, alias Joe Johnston, the
bogus lottery ticket man, was convicted IN
Judge Lows court about a year ago and
sentenced to pay fine of $500 and be con-
fined in the County Jail for six months.

Court and recently it rendered decision
against Upson.

Judge Low and the latter ISSUED bench
warrant for Upson's arrest. Yesterday
morning Upon was brought INTO court.
He made an earnest plea for mercy and
told the court he had abandoned the lot
terry business and was leading an honest
life. He asked tie court TO accept the $500
fine and remit the sentence of SIX months
imprisonment. His appeal was of no avail
and tie Judge ordered him into the Gus
tody of the Sheriff
Upson's statement that he was leading
an honest life had grim sense of humor
about it. 1t was only the other dav that

scheme to defraud. He was captured
through decoy letters under the name of
L. Schwartz of Reno, to whom he for
