TO AVOID pOsr-MoRTRM CONTESTS
J. Dow Discovers Good r1ethod to Avoid
Taking VIII

J. Dow Discovers a Good rIethod to Avoid
| Taking VIII
| The supreme court has handed down
| decision in the case of y. NJ. Ruiz.
! administrator of the estate of James
/ Dow, deceased, VS.. Rebecca Dow and B.
F. Thomas, IN which the judgment of
| the lower court is affirmed.
The action was instituted to recover
the sum of $4,000 from thewife of the de-
ceased. The latter, realizing the proba-
! bilty of his near decease, and desiring
his wife to possess his estate without the
usual expenses attendant upon an ad-
ministration In the usual course by the
courts, executed and acknowledged, un-
der legal advice, a deed conveying to her
all his property of whatsoever kind. This
document was enclosed in an envelope
and was handed by deceased to his wife,
who retained it for two years. 1t being
then examined by another attorney. at
Dow's request, he advised that delivery
of the instrument mas necessary to make
it valid. Thereupon Dow instructed this
attorney to hand il to Mr.. Sheffield cash
fer of the bank a Santa Barbara, direct
ing him to have il recorded upon his.
Dow's demise. These directions were
carried out. But at the time of making
the deed Dow owned a certain promis-
sorry note in the sum of $4,000, and after
the document came into the hands of the
bank cashier. and prior to Dow's death
payment of $4,000 was made upon this
note. which sum was deposited by Dow
in his own name In the bank. This money
was the property of the wife, passing to
her by virtue of the deed of conveyance.
The appellant contended that there was
neither gift causa mortis nor intervi-
vos. The supreme court holds that the
transactions possessed no elements of Il
gift causa mortis, but inasmuch as the
donor relinquished all present right and
control over the note when he made the
deed and delivered it to the cashier of
the bank and by the same act placed the
right of possession of tha note beyond
himself. essentially the gift fell under
the the latter signification.
Several other points of law are passed
upon by the court in affirming judgment.

Tn Recover Damares

A suit has Just been filed in the su-
perior court wherein John Mulvany de-
mands $500 damages from the Los An
geles Railway company for injuries sus-
tained through the alleged negligence
of the defendant company's servants.
On January 7th Mr.. Mulvany was
driving In his buggy along Buena Vista
street, and at the intersection of Belle
vue avenue was rapidly approached be-
hind by one of the company's cars. The
motorman rang vigorously gong and
frightened plaintifi's horse so that Mr..
Mulvany had difficulty in restraining it.
In trying to get out of the way the cleo
trio car kept close up behind so that
plaintiff could not get away. He did the
next best thing by drawing his horse
close to the curb to permit the car to
pass. While in the act of passing. the
motorman knowing, as plaintiff claims,
the nervous condition of the horse, again
played a tattoo with the gong. Forth
with the horse ran away and Mr.. Null
vany was thrown out of the buggy. One
of his legs was broken and mangled and
other portions of his body were injured.
Plaintiff gives an itemised statement
of the injuries suffered ,aS follows: A
buggy, valued at 500; the horses tenn
per spoiled to the extent of $50; physi-
clans bill, medicines, etc, S100, and in all
q bout S5300. For this amount he claims

THEY ARE UNEASY
Republicans Worrie5 Over the Increasing
Enthusiasm tor Brvnr

Since the big Bryan demonstration Sat
urday night, many local Republicans
are beginning to straddle, and appear to
realize that the St Louis convention was
not such a bowling success as it might
have been, so far as the financial plank
is concerned The main argument now
is that Mckinley, if elected, would not
veto any financial measure passed by
congress. Just what assurance Mr.. Han
na has given to this effect is not known,
but there is a rumor in circulation which,
if correct. shows that the matter was
discussed among some Of the delegates
at least. Frank p. Flint is quoted as
having said recently that he introduced
resolution before the committee on
platform to the effect that the Republi-
can candidate would not veto any finan-
cial legislation passed by congress, but
that it was promptly squelched. and that
he was not even permitted to speak on
II. If this Is true it indicates that even
