THE RYER ESTATE
The Land Suits Compromised and the Prop.

The Land Suits Compromised and the Prop
erty to BE Distributed
SAN Francisco. Feb. 2l..-The contest
of Christopher b. Ryer for share of the
fortune left by Washington NJ. Ryer came
to an end this afternoon when Judge Slack
signed an order consentng to the compro-
mise of Christopher's claim by the execu-
tors. The efforts to effect this compro-
mise have been under way for the last
three weeks, but Fletcher Ryer's refusal to
agree tc the proposition advanced by
Christopher's counsel, which was to receive
$4,000 in full of all claims prevented
anything from being done and the PROPOSE
ton apparently fell through for good
Since then the counsel for the various
parties to the litigation have been together
OH several occasions and the result was an
agreement by which Christopher agreed to
accept $25 900. AS the other heirs have
come to an agreement long since, the order
for distribution recently made i'm the su-
perior court will nov be carried into effect
without further opposition.
"Chris" Ryer, as he is generally known,
based his claim to a share of DIR. Ryer's es.
tate on the alleged acknowledgements of
him by Dr. Eyer as an illegitimate son.

and then landed lightning right hand

the identical blow that knocked out Jim
Hall in New Orleans. For the first part of
the round Maher had the better of it. He
led often and forced the fighting. In his
eagerness to get at Fitzsimmons he cons
mitted palpable foul during clinch and
was warned by Referee Siler that its repe-
tition would cost him the fight. Maher
fought we'll, but he was no match for his
red-headed opponent, who proved himself
today one of the craftiest men who ever
stepped into the ring. Fitssiminons is

arbitrarily from a field where he had la

The committee made several verbal
amendments to the bill and also added
canal lands to those which are included in
the bill.
The decision of the COMMITTEES was pre-.
ceded by hearing of reports Of the vari.
GUS interests affected by the proposed
legislation. There was a proposition be-
fore the committee 20 include Mexican
land grants in the extension, but Senator
White appeared in opposition to this
scheme, contending that the Mexican
grant question should be settled as soon as
possible in the interests of all concerned /,
and the amendment was not made.
Ex-senator Manderson was also before
the committee in the interest of the Bur-
lington road, but he did not make any
special objection to-the bill. The com
mittee has instructed Senator Dubois,
chairman, to press consideration of the
bill next week. The Limitation for these
suits expires under the present law in
