FOR KEEFER'S PROPERTY,
Matilda ]. DavdS Applies to Be
Appointed Trustee of the
Estate.
1t Is Thcu yht That the Mining Man.
ager and Operator Is
Dead.

Mrs. Matilda ]. Davids has petitioned
the Probate Court TO be appointed trustee
of the estate of her brother, Windsor A
Keefer, mining operator and manager.
who has been missing since the 18th OF
last March.
The sudden and mysterious disappear
ance OF Mr.. Keefer Is still unex planned,
and no progress has been made in the
search that was instituted at the instance
of his relatives. Mr.. Keefer was inter
ested in the affairs of the Jupiter Mining
Company and was associated in other
mining enterprises of considerable impor-
tance. 1t was thought that he was a man
of means. but up to the present time little
has been learned of his belongings for the
reason that he took no one into his conf
dence in regard to those matters, and his
affairs are so mixed tnat the puzzle has
not been solved. So lar as is known t e
m issing man had no bank account in this
City, but kept his personal effects in the
vault OF the San Francisco Safe Deposit
Company. The officers of that institution
have hitherto refused to allow any one to
inspect the contents of Mr.. Keefer's box
on the ground that they had no legal au-
Mrs. Davids' application to be ap-
pointed trustee of the estate is for the
purpose of meeting this objection. She
represents to the court that she IS a sister
of Mr.. Keefer; tDat he has no wife or
children, and that the petitioner would
| have right to share in his estate if he
we're dead, as she believes him to be.
Judge Slack will hear the petition of
Mrs. Davids on the Both inst.
Several efforts have been made to in
duce Mrs. Davids to promise a reward for
Information touching the fate of her
brother, but she refuses, on the ground
that if her brother were alive he would
send her word or return and that she
| would expect to be victimized if she be-
gan to pay out money for useless informa-
tlon.
A great amount of litigation is ex-
pected TO clear up the disputes that will

Da1 Hawkins, the Ca ifornia Light
Weight, Who Has Posted a
Forfeit With "The Call" to
Fight George Dixon.

the negotiations with Tom ORourke,
Dixon's manager and backer, deposited
$3.50 to bind match with the erstwhile
feather-weight mpion at 12S pounds.
Both Dixon and Hawkins have peen
anxious 20 get together for some time,
but have not heretofore been able to
agree as to weight, the Eastern man con-
tending that his best weight is 12S pounds
CT less and that the Californian should
keep within that limit.
Hawkins, on the other hand, claimed
that as he is lightweight and Dixon has
been fighting ightweights he should be
allowed to weigh in at the lightweight
limit.
O'Rourke recently posted a forfeit in
New York to bird match at 12S pounds
and now Hawkins has decided thai rather
than lose the match he will accept. He
sent the following telegram to O'Rourke
last evening, and ali that is now necessary
to make the fight a certainty is for
O'Rourke to signify that he has started
for the coast:

Hawkins anticipates that o Rourke ana
Dixon will start for California imme-
diately on the receipt of the message. so
that the colored pugilist can have as much
time as possible to accustom himself TO
the California climate and get into trim.
The fact that Dixon insisted on lighting
at weight is evidence that he does not ex-
pect to nave an easy time with the local
lad and the bout should oe a fast and
clever one, with the chances of the watch
lasting through the number of rounds
settled on.

OLD, YET CLUsG
TO HIS CURIOS
Queer Case of a Retired
Sea Captain Who Was
Evicted.
Strange Objects From All Over
the Earth That He Would
Not Sell.
Rather Than Part With His Treas
u-eS He Allows Deputy SheriffS
TO Move Him Out

The accumulations of Captain John de
Lange's adventurous life of seventy-sev
years duration were placed on the side
walk, in front of his late home al S27 Ala
bamB street, by Deputy Sheriffs, yester-
day afternoon, because he was unable to
pay up five months back rent.
The curious part of it is that the larger
portion of the goods evicted are curios
worth thousands of dollars that the aged
mariner has collected during the past
fifty years that he has buffeted the storms
OF this life on land and sea.
The case is pathetic one, from the fact
that Captain de Lange has a wife and
family who are dependent on him for sup
port, and they are without shelter, except
temporarily under the roofs OF neighb bors.
The aged captain is something of a
character. Since he began going to sea
as lad he has been collecting queer and
beautiful objects all over the world
Wherever his ship touched-ard the ports
included nearly all of those that vessels
visit-he picked up something to add to
his treasures. Sometimes it was a rare
and delicately tinted shell, again a bit of
mineral or a queer implement of some
savage nation, rare insect or barbarian
idol.
He had cabinets and drawers made for
his collection as il accumulated and il
now fills several rooms. Some years ago
he lost his ship because he was no longer
able TO do the work required of a master
mariner and poverty called at his door.
He worked when he had a chance, and
earned enough to keep the wolf from his
freside. always glonting over bis treasures
and thinking OF the wealth they would
bring him if he could nerve himself to
part with them.
For a long time he has been out of en-
plOyment and bread has been scarce, but
be has held on to his curios, and rather
than part with them allow ed himself 10
be evlcted because he was five m onths be-
hind wI:h his rent.
1t took Deputy Sheriff Galland and
three assistants nearly a whole day to
move the curIos out on to the sidewalk,
and they are now stored in the barn Of
neighbor until the captain can find other
quarters for them.
Four years ago Captain de Lange mar
ried woman 35 years of age and has
three children by her.
He is old and bent, hut his eyes light
up as he speaks of the treasures that he
values at about ZOO. He has about
made up his mind 10 sell a portion in
order to provide a place to care ior the
rest, and Is looking Tor purchaser.

CONVENT AT UKIAH.

Special Accommodation for Summer
Boarders-EIegaut Buildings.
The Sisters of the Sacred Heart Convent
at Ukiah have erected on their ground a
large and commod;ous building for the
special accom- mooation of lady boarders
during the summer months. The house
is elegantly furnished; beautiful gardens
surround it. The convent grounds are
right in the heart of Ukiah and occupy e
whole block. The ladies boarding here
are entirely separate from the Sisters of
tie convent. Their time, occupation and
amusements are entirely their own. The
Sisters furnish an excellent table, and, as
every one knows, are noted for neatness
and cleanliness.
There are so many ladies, particularly
those of more advanced age, who would
like to spend part of their time in the
country, but do not wish to do SO at a reg
ular resort, and at the same time do not
care to board at a regular farmhouse.
Here they have ali the comforts of a
home, and right in the city of Ukiah,
which Is so beautifully located. They can
De TO themselves as they would do at
home, or they can stroll out and see the
many entcing spots in the vicinity.
Ladies can board here and make arrange

invigorating bath.
1t is but twenty minutes walk to the
San Francisco and North Pacific Fish
Hatchery in Gibson Canyon, one of the
most romantic canyons in California.
There are so many places within a short
stroll that they can have daily picnics and
excursions without having to walk any
distance that would be tiresome. When
livery is desired very reasonable terms can
be made.
Whilst The house is located on the con-
vent grounds, they are as free of any con.
nection with The convent as they would
be in their homes. The good Sisters,
however, would accept no boarders with
out the most respectable and responsible
references. The terms are very reason
able. Spec al rates can be made for par
ties. There are accommod modations for about
twenty. This is an excellent opportunity
for several ladies 10 join together for their
summer vacation under the most pleasant
auspices. 1t is certainly a place where
ladies without escorts can pass most de-
iightful time.

Tue IOuDQerS OF Tie SOclely OF united
Irishmen. He was educated at Trinity
College, Dublin. and in 1885, before he had
completed his course, made a runaway
marriage which turned out happily. He
early entered the lists as a revoluionist,
his first work being aimed at Catholic
emancipation. He was in 1875 compelled
to leave the country. He came TO the
United States and resided successively at
Philadelphia, Westchester and Dowing-
town. Pa. and Princeton, n. J.
Urgent letters from Ireland stating that
the country was ripe Tor revolt induced
him TO sail for France in January, 1885, to
gain the aid OF the Directory, and tnat
country was induced to lit out powerful
expedition. Tone was commissioned as
chef de brigade and acknowledgement to
Hoche, VINO had command. The fleet ON

ON THE VERGE
Of SUICIDE
Remarkable Statement of
a Visitor From
Oregon.
Distressing Disease Almost
Drove Him to Attempt
Sel.-Destruction.
He AscribeS His Recovery to the New
Treatment Of the Hudson Medi.
cal Institute.

"By their works shall ye know them"
is bit of sound Biblical advice that has
stood the test Of time
This is the true standard of merit and it
is by that standard that one must Judge
OF the value of the recent discovery of a
remedy treatment for the diseases and
disabilities of men, which has been made
by the staff of physicians of the Hudson
Medical Institute of this City. Hudyan is
the name of the new remedy which is said
to have worked such marvels, and yet it is
not remedy in the sense of a patent
medicine, but a progressive treatment OF
several medicinal combinations, each
specially prepared to fit the peculiar ply
sical necessities OF different sufferers.
That it is destined to revolutionize the
practice of medicine as regards this class
Of ailments and incidentally achieve a
world wide reputation seems to be no
longer an open question, judging from the
vast number OF people who are volunteer
ing their praises in It's behalf. Certainly
a remedy must possess an element which
approaches the marvellous If it restores q
man to perfect health who has been on
the verge OF committing suicide. Yet this
is what it did for Gustave Larson, who
was in this City last week and related his
experience 10 the Wrlter- Inc gentleman
in question is a resident of Lyman, Wash,
ana has large landed interests in the vi
cinity. He has had nervous debility in
an aggravated form, aud, as he expresses
1t, II was a wreck when the Hudson doc
tors took hold of me. 1t has been three
weeks since / discontinued the treat
ment, and l think am cured
to perfection, for which service the
institute has my heartiest thanks.
l am proud to say an man again. and
yet had almost given up hope when
heard of the Hudyan cure and concluded
to make one final effort before relapsing
into total despair. After commencing
treatment l improved rapidly. My entire
being seemed permeated with a new and
subtle strength, and never until now have
| realized the full intensity of living"
Mr.. Larson was so grateful for the res
toration of his health that he went to the
institution from whom he received treat
ment and voluntarily gave them a writ
ten statement of his experience in order
to convince others afflicted II like m an
ner who might be inclined to be skeptical
as o the wonderful remedial and invig-
orative power OF the Hudyan system of
treatment.

after he saw Ned Lanigan, the last person
who saw him before he went to the
Baldwin annex to end his life.
Collector Welburn always had great
faith in Norton and did much 10 promote
him year after year, but he has done
everything in his power to make the mat
ter as easy on the dead mans relatives as
possible.
81 do not care to say anything about the
matter" he said last night, ''ior it is very
bad at best, and words cannot undo the
wrong. Let the man and his faults rest
in the grave, SO far as l am concerned, for
it is past making charges now."
1t is now we'll known that Norton led a
very fast life for several years. and that
Collector Welburn has been sufferer in
many ways from the dead mans reckless
career.
Though Norton would barely touch a
glass of light wine if at a lunch with
friends, especially if with the Collector,
he opened champaign without stint and
hired hacks as if he were a prince, when
painting the town after midnight.
1t was his custom very often to repre-
sent himself as o. NJ. Welburn when in
dulging in champagne and midnight
escapades in shady quarters. A friend of
the Collector speaking of the matter yes
terday said:
"a week ago last Saturday night Nor
ton opened wine for mum Der o. women
in a well-known disrepu able resort and
bade them drink without limit, announc-
ing that he was Collector WeIburn.
when drinking it seemed to be a mania
with him thus to personate the man who
was his friend and who had given MIN his
position.
"Once Norton got on a spree at a road
house beyond the Cliff, and went through
all sorts of drunken orgies with notorious
women, proclaiming that he was Collector
Welburn.
''The Collector could never discover who
it was that thus disgraced him, though he
hired Morse's detectives and others to
ferret the matter to a conclusion. Norton
was the last man he would have suspected
of such baseness.
"Stories of the collectors recklessness
reached his family from time to time,
worried his friends and drove him almost
to distraction, but he could never solve
the mystery, and the facts never came to
light until the death of the cashier"
After the stamps are all counted the
books of the internal revenue department
will be thoroughly exported until which
the exact shortage of the dead man will
not be known.
