STOCKTON, CAL, May 21.-Quite q
remarkable skin-grafting operation has
been performed on little Elsie Galbraith
by Drs. Fitzgerald and Hinkle. Two or
three weeks ago Elsie, the four-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Gal
braith. who live near Collegeville, was
severely burned while playing with other
children. The little ones built bonfire
and the dress of Elsie was ignited. Her
legs and back were badly burned and the
physicians found that the skin was en-
tirely destroyed and that neW skin would
have to be grated 10 prevent the muscles
from contracting.
The case was expla ined to the family,
and while the father and mother were
both willing to part with portions of their
cuticle for their child the doctors pre-
terred the skin of younger people.
They did not have any difficulty in find
ing it, for an aunt OF the little child and
another young lady, who was staying at
the house, at once volunteered to con-
tribute. The skin was taken from their
arms, several hundred pieces being needed
to cover the burned flesh of the child. 1t
was cut as deeply as possible without
causing excessive bleeding. The subjects
submitted to the operation without an
anesthetic, but they suffered many a
sharp twitch for the sake OF the child
whom they loved.
Each bit of skin was put on the child s
body, the pieces being placed at slight
distance from each other, so that they
might grow together. They were then all
covered and the child is now doing nicely.

Dora Wilson Contests
the Will Of James
Quentin.
Will Seek 10 PrOve Tha. She
Was a Daughter of the
Decd snt.
In Life the San Mateo Capitalist
Declared Her Prctensions
False.

REDWOOD CITY. CAL, May 21.-Dora
Wilson yesterday lied contest OF the
will of the late James Quentin, who died
at San, Gregorio last October and left an
estate which hes been appraised a. $103.-
000 It consists OF real and personal prop
erty and money in bank.
Quentin left will by which he disposed
of all his estate, leaving it to friends and
to orphan asylums, as he had no relatives.
In the will there is an express provision
that none of the property shcu,d go to
Dora Horn or any member of the Horn
family on the ground that they have no
claims upon him. Dora Wilson (formerly
Dora Eorn) now seeks to break the will,
claiming th at she is the daughter of the
deceased. 1t is believed she has good
case.
Mrs. Horn, the mother of the contest
ant, was at one time married 10 James
Quentin, but they were divorced be fore
Dora was born. In the will it is alleged
that Dora is the daughter of James Horn.
The case may possibly be compromised,
but should it come to hearing sensa-
tional evidence will be introduced.
After setting forth her relationship to
the deceased the contestant alleges that
at the time when the will was mads
James Quentin was not Of sound and dis
posing mind, and by reason thereof was
incom petent 10 make any will. She
charges that undue influence was exerted
over him by Thomas Stealey, who, with
his wife, is a devi.ee to the extent of one

Five Thousand Pieces of Cuti-

Patient.
Many Persons Contribute to Save
the Sufferers From Death
by Torture.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. May 21.-A suit
tried in the Superior Court to-day dis
closed the details of most interesting
surgical case. local physician sued the
receiver of the bankrupt Los Angeles Iron
and Steel Company for $2250, and drug
gist demanded OF the same defendant
1857. The bills are for medical services
and medicine for boy named Lamar
Moore, who was scalded by stepping into
barrel of boiling water at the rolling
mill in January, 1885,
The boy was employed at the mill an d
accidentally stepped into the barrel which
was set into the ground to receive con-
densed steam from the engine. When
taken from the boiling water he was in a
horrible condition and there seemed little
hope of saving his life. The usual treat
ment for burns was applied. and the
physician who is the plai atiff in this suit
was called to give attendance.
The doctor was assisted by others of hi.
profession, and they together planned to
make young Moore whole again by the
process of skin grating to replace the
cuticle that had peeled from his legs as
result of ;he scaldlng. The boy was
great suHerel, OuC ue SIoou the oIuedi
well. In the process Of grating new skin
from kind contributors to the quivering
flesh of the unfortunate boy, 5000 pieces of
cuticle were used. They were donated by
fellow-employes and sympathizing strang-
ers and one section came from the person
of the receiver OF the mill, Willis J. Boyle,
the defendant in this suit. The patches
of SKIN varied in size from half inch to
sacrificed them for humanity's sake
showed much fortitude.
The boys life was spared but he is not
vet well, though the most of the trans
planted cutIcle grew upon the wounds.
The doctor and druggist sued the receiver
of the company for their bill, holding the
company responsible for the accident.
Judge Shaw this afternoon rejected the
drug bill entirely. and ordered that $40 be
allowed the doctor.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, May 21.-The
women's cell in the Marin County Jail Is
deserted and its former occupant is stay
ing at Hotel Rafael. Not every man who
swears that he is pauper can follow the
example of Colonel Peter A. Finigan,
who entered the County Jail reputed to be
worth thousands of dollars and left it
without 5-c.nt piece to his credit.
Colonel Finigan on Wednesday night
occupied the luxurious apartments that
six weeks before he deserted to become a
charge upon the County OF Marin. Yes
terday was moving day at the County
Jail, and all the effects that had come
from Hotel Rafael to brighten the life Of
Colonel Finigan while he occupied the
womens cell were taken back to the big
hotel. The cot and the other articles
which served TO ease the solitude were
loaded on to the wagon which rum bled
away to the new home of the colonel.
The appointment of an assignee and
other matters in connection with the in
solvency proceedings by which the coll
onel admitted he was pauper will come
up in the Superior Court next week, and

Benito Lopez Pays the Extreme Pen0ftJ
1or the Murder of George S.
WnsEhucn

SACRAMENTO, CAL, May 21.-Benito
S. Washburn of San Andres, Calaveras
County, walked calmly from his cell in
murderers' row, at the Folsom State
Prison, this morning. climbed the few
steps leading to the gallows and was
launched into eternity.
Lopez passed peaceful night, sleeping
as calmly as child. He arose early, ate
hearty breakfast and passed the rest of
his brief span of life in the company of
his spiritual advisers, Father Santan-
dreu, pastor OF the Spanish church of
San Francisco, and Father Hunt of this
city. When on the gallows, the former
stated that Lopez asked pardon for all mis-
sins and forgave all his enemies.
Lopez and his victim, George S. Wash
burn, were residents of San Andreas and
near neig bors. Both men were well ad-
vanced In years and had frequently quar-
relied.
Lopez was the possessor of a we'll, the
water OF which overflowed and ran onto
the place OF his victim. On the day of the
murder, the 4th of April. 1885, Washburn
was attempting to dig small ditcn across
the road 10 lead the surplus water away
from his grounds, when he was accosted
by Lopez, who demanded that he stop the
work he was engaged in and leave. One
word brought on another, and eventually
he called Lopez an old thief, and the lat
ter stepped into his cottage, picked up a
revolver and shot Washburn dead.
Among the eye-witnesses of the murder
was G orge B. Washburn of San Fran
cisco. a son of the murdered man, and
Sheriff Ben Thorn OF Calaveras County.
The latter says Lopez once tabbed man
in San Andreas, and he was suspected of
having murdered man several years ago,
but the authorities were never able to
fasten the crime upon him. The Sheriff
says Lopez was always considered dan
gerouS man.

land, and to-day $4,000 more came by bank
draft. The society is now owner in fee
