Whole Week Occupied Over Evidence
Respecting NOtarial Certificates.
Proven That They Were Printed Long
After the Senator'S Death.
Brisk Competition Among Steamer
Lines of the San Joaquin
River Between San Francisco and
Stockton Large Deficit in San
Francisco's Treasury Fund.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 7.-Evidence
has occupied the attention of the Judge
and jury in the Craven case during the
whole of the present week. This is an
important branch of the litigation, for
upon this testimony hangs the proof
whether or not the deeds under which
Mrs. Croven claims S2000,O00 worth of
property from the estate of Senator Fair
were or were not executed and ac-
knowledged by Fair himself during the
month of September, 1894.
So far as the case has proceeded the
testimony favors the plaintiff. It has
been proven that on the day on which
Fair is claimed to have executed his
pencil will, and at the same time to have
handed the two deeds in question to Mrs.
Craven, he was in San Rafael with his
valet. Next evidence has been intro
duced to show that the blank certificates
of acknowledgment filled in and signed
by Notary Cooney, and attached by him
to the Craven deeds were not in exist
ence until sixteen months after the re-
ported execution of the deeds, thirteen
months after Senator Fairs death.
These facts have been made out by
number of witnesses, four employees of
the Crocker Printing Company giving
positive evidence regarding the date
when the certificate blanks were printed,
and the defense has failed to shake this
testimony by cross examination. James
d. Whiteside and Fred Daniels were on
the stand to-day, and their evidence
was corroborative of that of the other
printers.
This testimony is regarded as Of the
utmost Importance by the attorneys for
the executors, plaintiffs in the present
action. For, they claim, should the GER
tificates of Acknowledgement attached
to the deeds be shown to have been eX-
ecuted sixteen months after the date
they bore, then they must be false certi-
tificates Of acknowledgment attached
mitted perjury in his deposition when he
declared they were true. The certifi-
Gates being false it must follow that
Senator Fair did not acknowledge the
deeds on September p, 1894, nor on any
other day, and therefore, the Craven
deeds must also be false, as their certi-
ficateS of acknowledgment.

DEATH THE RESULT OF A BLOW
A Quarrel Between Inmates of the
Soldiers Home Ends Fatally.

LOS ANGELES, May ii. NJ. Stark
killed A. E. Hutchinson at the Soldiers
Home last night by striking him in the
eye with his fist.
During the day the men quarreled
over a hat which Hutchinson accused
Stark of stealing. Hot words were
passed, but the men separated without
coming to blows. Later Stark returned
to Hutchinson for the purpose of MAX
ing an apology, but as Hutchinson is
very deaf, he misunderstood what was
said and struck Stark. The injured man
struck back, hitting his opponent in the
eye and knocking him down. Whether
it was the blow or the fall is not
known, but one or the other caused
concussion of the brain. Hutchinson
died shortly afterwards. Both men

THE AMERICAN BISON.
Buffalo Jones Makes a Proposition to
Corral the Remnant of the Herd.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Buffalo
Jones of Oklahoma, who is at present
in the city, has made the Interior De-
partment a. proposition to corral the
remnant of the once mighty herd of
American bison. Practically all of
these animals left in wild state are
in the Yellowstone National Park, and
Mr.. Jones says they do not exceed
thirty in number. He is an authority
on buffalo, and he says that if the
remainder of the animals are to be
preserved, they must be gathered at
once, as the game in the park has been
mercilessly slaughtered the past two
years. Mr. Jones says the Superinten-
dent of the park has abandoned all
hope of preserving a single specimen.
The Secretary has not acted upon the
matter.

The bladder was created for one pur-

THE CHINESE REVOLT.
Is a Popular Movement Against
the Officials and the Rich.

Tacoma, Wash, June 25.
vices received yesterday say that
the rebellion in southern China is
assuming alarming proportions. 1t
is popular movement against the
official and moneyed classes. The
ranks of the rebels are being con-
stantly swollen by city men out OF
work and country people who are
kept in poverty by heavy land and
crop taxes imposed by Chinese
officials.
The inhabitants of the district
of Hsingi and Wuchnan are join
ing the insurgents. The military
of Kaochou and Leichou prefec-
lures have had to retreat before
superior numbers of rebels, who
are both we'll armed and we'll fed.
Late last month the insurgents of
the Elehou prefecture attempted
to storm the walled city of Sanchi,
but were repulsed by the citizens,
who successfully led the town
militia against the rebels until re-
inforcements arrived. The rebels
have since gathered reinforce
ments, and are besieging Sanchi,
which cannot hope to hold out
long for lack of provisions.
