In the proceedings before Judge Slack
Monday night it is proposed to take the
deposition of Mrs. Craven in reference to
all matters pertaining to her connection
with Fair and the Fair estate.
Attorney Heggerty holds that the SUB
pena was legally served and binds Mrs
Craven to appear.
There was a sramor oarrent yesterday
that John G. Barker, by request of Mrs
Craven, took the Craven deed before
Notary Public J. J. Cooney.
1t was further limited that Senator Fair
was not present at the time the deed was
acknowledged, only Barker being present.
Mr.. Cooney said last night to CALL re-
porter: 81 cannot rem ember whether Mr.
Barker was present at the time l attested
the deed or not. 1t is so long ago that the
circumstances OF the matter have passed

he was occupying an office to the rear Of

bOHE MIA WAS VISITED
Five Hundred Ladies and Gen.
tlemen Enjoy an Ideal
Sunday Trip.
Under the Personal Direction of ] E.
Locke They Invade the Rel
woods Near Guerneville.

The special train to Bohemia Grove yes
terdav, chartered by J. E. Locke, took one
of the finest excursion parties ever organ
lied In this City. There were about five
hundred ladies and gentlemen in the
party, com posed mostly of gentlemen and
their wives, while conspicuous among the
number were number of small private
parties of ladies, who were unaccom panied
by gentlemen escorts. Everything ran as
SIN oothly as private home party, reflect
ing great credit both upon the manager oil
the excursion as well as on the officers OF
the San Francisco and North Pacific Coast
Railway, over which company's line the
excursion was run.
At Tiburon the excursionists found a
train of standard coaches, all lettered and
with seats numbered i'll the same manner
as seats are designated at the theaters,
headed by two of the company's best
engines. Each coach was in charge of a
gentleman who inspected the tickets and
saw that the excursionists secured the
seats in the coaches their tickets desig-
| mated, and in a remarkably short space OF
! time the train was out ahead OF the regu-
! lar trains, with a clear track, speeding
along to Bohemia, seventy-eight miles
! distant on the Russian River, below
! Guerneville where the Bohemian Club
annually holds its high jinks and where
! the great redwoods rear their majestic
! spires skyward and the ferns grow in such
| prolific quantities that every one OF the
| visitors secured great punches Of them to
| bring home as reminders OF one OF the
| most pleasant outings which it was their
pleasure to experience. 1t was q model
! train, which demonstrated in practical
manner what the railroad company could
do when the public demand required.
At Bohemia the company took posses
! sion of favorable situations for lunch and
basket provisions were dispatched in a
manner that indicated appetites had been
whetted by the delightful ride, the fresh
sir and the charming surroundings.
After stay OF nearly five hours in the
! grove the train started on its homeward
| Journey, reaching this City about 80 in
the evening. Mr.. Locke received many
congratulations on his success in getting
together such select party, composed as
/ it largely was of physicians, law
yers and business men and their
families. In fact people marveled
that it was possible to get together such
a large party for a Sunday outing that
was free from disturbing elements, and
there was an urgent inquiry as to when
another such event would be offered. The
reserved-seat accommodations came in
| for large share of praise and what Mr..
| Locke calls his modern excursion" was
voted pronounced success.
Manager Locke announced that he
would give nun Der of similar events in
the near future, offering similar attrac-
tions, which he would not only personally
conduct, but for which, tickets could only
be obtained upon personal application at
his office in this City, no tickets being sold
at the offices of the railroad company.

concerning myself, is true. He always
knows what he is talking about
"In addition to the deeds just filed, the
statement is made that you hold a deed to
the Lick House. Is that true?"
II cannot answer that. 1t would be
telling tales out OF school. l will say,
however, that whatever l lay claim to is
mine. 1t is perfectly ridiculous the way
the Fair attorneys try to create the I'M
preston that they never heard of the
deeds filed last Friday until they were
placed on record. They knew all about
them, and so did Charley Fair.
~ see by the paper that Charley is cred
tied with saying that the deeds are forged.
1t was not to be expected, of course, that
he would yield such valuable property
without struggle, but he had better have
care how he talks. L have been his best
friend, and he knows it. If it had rot

borne great many things, but l do not
propose to be pressed too far. The deeds
are genuine-Charley Fair knows it, as
well as the attorneys on the other side"
Mrs. Craven says that she is watched
from morning until night. Attempts have
been made to bride her servants to allow
some one in the house to spy on her move
ments at home. Yesterday while driving
two men followed her all the way, and
when she finally left the carriage ana

evening.
The fellow threw back his head and
laughed heartily" said Mrs. Craven in
describing the incident. ''Seeing that his
purpose was known he dropped off at the
next cornell"
Charles J. Heggerty, who was the m ov-
ing spirit in the events of Saturday, when
interviewed relative to the Developments
of the afternoon, said:
"If those deeds are genuine, they are
valid and effective from the time OF their
date, Septem Der s, 1894. The income from
these properties is about $4,000 month,
making an aggregate to date of $126. 600

to ii her claim proves good. There is
nothing, however, to show that she had
collected or attempted to collect any of
these rents at any time.
Fairs books show that during his life
time, subsequent to the date of these deeds
and up to the time of his death, all rents
from these properties had been collected
by him, and there is nothing to show that
Mrs. Craven ever received dollar OF these
moneys. In fact, we know that not
tenant in any OF the buildings knows her.

81 have no desire to evade the mandate
of the court" said Mrs. Craven last night,
Though l do seriously object to the
method employed in serving the so-called
paper. The fact that L was down town

incidentally returning few calls, should
prove clearly that 1 was not attempting to
avoid any official summons. l am told
that it was Captain Callunden who tried to
serve the paper. Why, have known him
for sixteen years, but when he approached
me in such rough way, | was SO
frightened that did not know him.
Here Miss Margaret Craven, affection
ately given the appellation of "Birdle' by
her many friends, took up the recital.

lieve they had been following US for some
time, for they could not otherwise lave

In conclusion Miss Craven in tone of
protest and Indignation with the pertest
imaginable look exclaimed, 81 want you

Mrs. Craven, after gently Gliding the
righteousness of her daughter, remarked ::
Eyes, l can't understand why they should
have attempted such a course. There was
no need to serve any paper on me in such
a public place, and l denounce it as an in
suit and outrage. They know my address
and could have just as readily have served
it on me here at my home and avoided all
this publicity and notoriety."
Then becoming reminiscent she told in
explanation of her more than usually
nervous state how a strange man had APP
preached her yesterday morning as she
was waiting for a car at the corner of Fiji
tenth and Valencia streets near her
home, and had offered to advance her
money on percentage of the deeds, and
how she had refused his offer, saying the
deeds did not require any loan on the
basis of a percentage Of the value they
represented as CON pensatlon.

Mrs. Nettle Craven is apparently not the
least disturbed over the order issued by
Judge Slack on Saturday requiring her to
bring into court at 7:30 o'clock tonight
all papers and writings in her possession
executed in part or whole by the late
James G. Fair.
Accompanied by her daughter Mar
garet, Mrs. Craven spent the best portion
of yesterday driving about the City, to
the Park and other places of interest.
1t is not by any means certain that the
lady of penciled wills and deeds will re-
spond to the summons of Judge Slack.
She claims to have no official knowledge
that her presence is desired in court,

knowledge the order as published in The

Mummifled Monkeys.

In several places in the Cape Colony
and Orange Free State of South Africa
caves have been explored which yield
ed hundreds of mummitied remains of
queer species of six-fingered monkey.
All of the full-growp specimens OF this
remarkable species of quadruma have
the tail situated high up on the back
from three to five inches further up
than that on the modern monkey
and other distinguishing marks, such
as two sets of canine teeth, boards on
the males, etc. Whether these Great
ures were mummified by human be-
ings, who formerly held them in rever-
ence, or were overtaken by some cata-
strophe, such as sudden convulsion of
nature, or a cataclysm which en-
tombed them in their caves and thus
preserved them is secret that can
never be known.-St. Louis Republic.
