WILDWOOD LAND CONTEST
Boyles, Lyfords and Defenbachs
Fail to Gust Casper
Gardner.
The "Squatter" Completes His Fence
Around the Seven-Acre Tract
in Dispute.

MILL VALLEY, CAL, March 16.-Cas-
per Gardner has completed Silence round
the disputed seven-acre tract near Mill
wood, on which ne ''squatted," and which
is claimed by the Defenbach heirs. Mean
time the arrests of prominent men and
women-owners of land abutting on this
peculiarly located property-continue but
Gardner still holds the fort.
The Defenbach heirs. claimants to the
disputed land, will bring suit through their
guardian, DR.. Lyford, in the Superior Court
of Marin County, for possession of the
seven acres, and will also sue the bonds
men of the constable who arrested the
women and men who tore down the fence
that Casper Gardner was erecting. The
constable made the arrests without war
rant, and the women claim that he acted
without authority. They intend to sue for
damages.
The constable. Eugene E. Gray, says
that it was not necessary to have a war
rant, as the fence-destroyers constituted
an unlawful assembly.
The property in dispute is under water
half the time because of its proximity to
the marsh. The cabin built by Casper
Gardner rests upon stills, and the salt
water flows underneath. From stand
point of valne, the land is worth very lit
tie, but the Boyles, the Lyfords and the
Defenbachs are indignant that Casper
Gardner should have .'squatted" upon the
tract. and they intend to fight the matter
to the bitter end. Justice Fothell is kept
busy issuing warrants of arrest which have
no effect. When the arrests are made bail
is Immediately put up and the women go
back to pull up the fence again.

returned few days ago from India, and
bidding God-speed to Mr.. and Mrs. Booth
Tucker. who will sail shortly for New

vation Army in the United States.
The principal feature of the meeting was
an address delivered by General Booth,
after which Mr.. and Mrs. Booth-Tucker
were called to the front of the platform.
Two officers then lifted large American
and Salvation Army flag over their heads,
which was followed by remarkable,
unanimous outburst of cheering and clap

THE NEWS OF SAN JOSE,
Edward Andrew Barron's Claim
to Be Passed Upon by
a Jury.
Ellen Sheehan's Mother Compelled to
Distribute the Sullivan
Estate.

SAN JOSE, CAL, March 16. Judge
Reynolds to-day set the trial of the suit
of Edward Andrew Barron, the mulatto
claimant to the Edward Barron estate, for
May 5. BY consent the case is transferred
to the court of Judge Lorigan. who tried
the Barron will contest. The trial will be
before jury, and the question at issue
will be, HAS the plaintiff any heirship in
the estate at all?'
In reviewing the case Judge Reynolds
says there can be no distribution of the
estate until the will contest inaugurated
by George e. Barron is settled, but that
the matter can be expedited by submitting
the question at issue to trial at the time
named. The other questions involved in
the case will be tried by the court at date
vet to be fixed.
J.C. McKinstry, counsel for the San
Francisco Protestant Asylum, to-day filed
a notice that on March % he would ask
the court to quash and set aside the
original citation issued on April 10, 1894,
in the contest of Edward Barron's will, in
augurated by George E. Barron, in which
the persons interested were required to
show cause why the probate of the will
should not be revoked. The ground on
which the motion will be made is that the
citation was never served on the officers of
the San Francisco Protestant Orphan Asy-
ium and that it was returned without
being served.
J. F. Devlin, attorney for Mary f. Bar
ron and her minor children, to-day filed
an answer to the mulatto boys complaint,
in which it is denied that Edward Barron,
deceased, ever recognized the mulatto as
his child and contributed to his support.

His Death a Blow to the VIII.
cultural Interests of the
State.
OWNER OF VAST VINEYARDS.
He Built the Largest Winery in the
World on His Guillicose
Valley Ranch.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, March 16.-Isaac
de Turk, one of the leading vineyardists of
the State, died in this city at 8 o'clock to-
night. at the age of 81 yesrs. He had been
in i'll health for some time, and his death
was not entirely unexpected.
Mr.. de Turk was native of Pennsylva-
mia ard came to California about twenty
five years ago. Since taking up his resi-
dence here he has been at the head of
many viticultural and agricultural enter
prises. His famous winery in the Los
Guiilicose Valley was long known as the
largest in the world, until the late Senator
Stanford caused to be built one of even
more mammoth proportions. His vine
yards covered thousands of acres, and his
Los Guillicose Valley home, fifteen miles
east of Santa Rosa, was popular retreat.
Mr.. de Turk was for years at the head of
the State Viticultural Association and
member of the State Viticultural Commits
sion; was prime mover in the organiza-
tion of the San Francisco Board of Trade
and of the similar body in Santa Rosa
was connected with the Sonoma County
Horsebreeders' Association and the Agri-
cultural Fair Association. the former Or
ganization being the original owner of the
celebrated stallion Anteeo. He loved a
good horse, and many animals bred at his
ranch have established enviable records on
trotting courses. One of his racers, Silas
Skinner, 2:19, is known to all American
turfmen.
In Santa Rosa the deceased took an ac-
tive interest in every movement for the
towns advancement, and the Improve
ment Club had no more earnest member
than Isaac de Turk. In addition to his
Guilllcose Valley interests, NJ. de Turk
was part owner in several vineyards in
other portions of Sonoma County.
Mr.. de Turk never married. Though
possessed of an abundance of this worlds
goods, he was content to journey through
life without companion; but his home
was ever open and his hospitality was un-
bounded. The only relative he is known to
have in the State is William de Turk,
drug clerk at Petaluma.

nolds to-day decided the suit of Ellen
Sheehan against Margaret Sullivan and
others, an action involving about $4,000
worth of property. in favor of the plaintiff.
The suit was brought by Ellen Sheehan,
who is daughter of Margaret Sullivan, to
have deed executed by her father, Michael
Sullivan, in September, 1887, whereby he
transferred large tract of land and $45, 600
worth of personal property to his wife, de-
clared trust deed and for distribution of
her share.
Judge Reynolds held that the evidence
showed that the deed was trust deed, and
that it was only intended that Mrs. Sulli-
van should hold the property during her
life, and that upon the death OF Mrs. Sulli-
van the property would revert to the es-
tate of Michael Sullivan, deceased, and
then be distributed to his heirs.

San Francisco Whalers Said to
Be Infringing in Hudson
Bay Territory.
CUTTERS MAY BE SENT NORTH.
Collector Milne Charges That the Amer
lean Schooner Fleet Is Abusing
Its Privileges.

VICTORIA, B. c., March 16.-Throueh
representations made to the Dominion
Government by Collector Milne steps are
shortly to be taken for the better protec-
ton of Canadian interests at Herschell
Island, where. according to the latest re-
ports, they are being infringed upon. As
result of Mines report the Government
will at once begin systematic campaign
against the American fleet in Arctic
waters, and it is not unlikely that revenue
cutters will soon be dispatched to the
northern island to lie in wait for any rea-
sonable excuse upon which to make ar
rests.
Herschell Island is situated in Macken-
zie Bay, at the mouth of Mackenzie River,
and affords the best winter quarters for
shipping in the whole of the Artic region.
1t is, in fact, the only safe sheltering place
known east of Point Barrow. In the snug
little harbor, in the southern portion of
the island, whalers have long been known
to rendezvous in winter, but, it is claimed,
Americans have abused their privileges,
and the Dominion Government proposes
to cause them trouble. What method will
be employed has not yet been definitely
decided on, but it will be done effectually.
Seventeen whaling vessels-all American
and nearly every one hailing from San
Francisco-have this season wintered at
Herschell Island with damaging results to
the Hudson Bay Company's trade at Fort
Ferguson and the demorolization of the
Indians. This latter subject has been
brought to the attention of the officials by
letters received from the Right Rev.
Bishop Reeves and Rev. ]. o. String er
both missionaries in Northern Alaska. 1t
is claimed that the effect of the bad IN
fuences of INSCRIPTIONS whites is tending
rapidly to the extinction of the natives.
The Hudson Bay Company's trade, car
ried on overland from Edmonton, has
been seriously injured by the competition
of whalers, which, instead of fitting out
annually, as was their custom until quite
recently, are now in the habit of equipping
for expeditions of three or even more
years. their supplies being replenished by
two steamers from the south. which &c
north every year. Whisky and Other
goods, particularly fancy articles, and
principally of worthless description, are
bartered off among the Indians, who in
return pay handsomely in furs.
1t is estimated that 700 people passed
this winter at Herschell Island.

DENVER, CoLo., March 16.-Broker
Randall successfully cleared at the Colo
RADIO Mining-stock Exchange to-day. and
as no other broker failed to meet his obli-
cations at the Clearinghouse further trou-
BILE over the attempted Bluejay corner has
apparently been averted. Many complica-
tions, however, remain unsettled between
various brokers and their clients. num-
Der of customers had left stock with bro
kers to be sold at stated prices. Owing to
the failure Of three brokers to clear Satur-
day the other brokers trading in Bluejay
were forced to liquidate as best they could,
and they are now attempting to settle with
their respective customers accordingly.
The board of directors have decided TO
hold an investigation upon the Bluejay
deal. 1t is stated that conspiracy to de-
fraud, and not corner, was attempted,
and that interesting Developments affect
ing not only Brokers Randall and Roger,
but the Lincoln Boy and the Blueiay Com
pany will be disclosed. However the gen.
eral opinion prevails that Randall and
Roger schemed to make a corner on Blue
jay. and when in the excitement of Friday
Royer lost his head Randall protected him
self to the disaster of his associate.
The Mining Exchange has decided to
make a new list of stocks to be called, and
throw out all companies that cannot pass
a rigid inquiry.
