For Probate of vii!

Henry w. Stoll yesterday filed his pc
tition for the probate of the will of
Emelie Hausewirth, deceased. The
estate consists of real and personal
property valued at about $500.
j. NJ. Schneider of San Francisco also
filed his petition for the probate of the
entire estate is valued at about $50,O00
the principal item of which is the stock
OF goods and decedents interest in the
firm of c. w. r. Ford & Co., doing busi-
ness at 522 Market street, San Francis
co, and valued at 500. The greater
part of the estate of the decedent both
real and personal Is common property
the same having been acquired by him
after his marriage with Julia S. Ford
BY the terms of the will each of the
employees of the firm receives 500. Mrs.
Julia s. Ford, his wife, receives ST., 600
The balance of the estate is to be equally
divided between decedent's brother and
sister. Jay e. Hunter, Esq, appears as
attorney for the executor.
Mr. Ford's death will in no way af-
feet the business of the Boston store, as
that business belonged to his wife and
was inherited by her from her former
husband, J. w. Robinson.
Mr.. Ford was for several years past
president and manager of the Boston
Shoe company, a corporation. Mr.. ia
cob Schneider will probably be made
president of the Boston store. In fact,
he is now in charge of it's affairs, and has
been ever since the accident to Mr. Ford
several weeks ago.

Both Want the Child

A contest for the custody of rather
attractive 15-year- -old girl, before Judge
Clark yesterday, developed a rather
sensational story The girl in question
is Annie Roger. and her mother, Mrs.
Katie Cusack, is trying to get posses
sion of her on habeas corpus proceed
ings. The child is now and has been
ever since she was II months old. in the
custody of George A. Hendricks and
wife, who have become very much at
tached to her, and wish to keep herThe
child also wishes to stay with the Hen
bricks, of whom she is apparently very
fond, and addresses them as uncle and
aunt. while she calls her mother Katie
Hendricks was formerly a well-to-do
business man in Dakota and Washing
ton. but has since failed in business and
came to Los Angeles as an agent for a
cigar house. The child's mother was
in Hendricks employ while he was
keeping a hotel at Fargo, S. D.. and re-
manned with him both at that place and
in Seattle and Tacoma for nine years.
When Hendricks and his wife came to
Los Angeles the girl ran away from
her mother and came here with Mrs.
Hendricks, joining that lady at San
Francisco. Mrs. Cusack married her
present husband while she was in Hen
bricks employ, Cusack also being en-
ployed by him as cook, but was dis
charged afterWard. The girl told her
story, and was followed by her mother,
who sprung a sensational statement on
the witness stand to the effect that Hen
bricks, while she was in his employ, had
been criminally intimate with his step
daughter, and that she had detected
them in the act, for which reason she
did not think him a proper person to
have the custody of her child She ad-
mitted, however, that she had con-
tinued to live in the family for years
afterward and had never referred to the
matter until the present time. Both Mr..
and Mrs. Hendricks contradicted this
testimony, Mr.. Hendricks denouncing
it as a tissue of falsehood out of whole
cloth, while Mrs. Hendricks showed
that the story as told could not possi-
bly, be true Both testified that Mrs.
Cusack had never been a mother to the
child. and that the child never regarded
her as such, calling her Katie. At the
conclusion of the testimony the matter
was continued for argument.

my line. 1t seems to me that it doesn't
make much difference where the har-
Dor goes. The best interests of the
people is all that concerns me. If the
government expends s30O,0O0.000 with
in twenty miles of Los Angeles our
people will be employed and the city
will reap the benefit. So long as all the
competing railroads have the same ad-
vantages so far as the right of way Is
concerned, it would make but little diff
ference where the harbor is located I"
The cause for the above was the fol-
lowing from the Times:

ministration, and Mayor RAIDER most OF
ALL" said Ed Smith, the big assistant fire
chief "IIe may disclaim any respon-
sibility for the affair, but the fact that

tend to make folks a bit incredulous.' 4"
All honor to Councilman Snyder.
who alone resisted the attempt to run
this infamous resolution through said
Superintendent of Schools Foshay. TO
be singular in that respect is to be in
deed marked with peculiar honor"
Charles Strange, the building super
intendent, who weighs 1876 pounds, and
has a backbone to correspond, discussed
in strong terms the weakness displayed
by the councilmen in allowing an out
slider to work them in the interests of
railroad corporation. The most OF
these fellows said the building super
intendent, ARE so anxious to straddle
every question that comes up, and so
fearful of occasionally getting up and
taking decided stand OH a ticklish
proposition, that the resolution busi-
ness caught them unawares, and from
sheer force of habit they let 1t passwith-
out saying a word. A little backbone
in the council would seem to be what's
wanted now"
The moral of this story is that The
Herald is the only really reliable paper
in the city.
