chiefly in the air The last section is an
attempt to make building transactions
more equitable than they now are. It
aims to insure the contractor who has
furnished labor or material to the man
who buys lots with building loan from
losing his just compensation. The new
section reads:
A contract for the sale Of land with a
building loan and any modification
thereof must be in writing and within
10 days altar its execution be filed in the
Office OF the clerk of the county in which
any part Of the land is situated If not
so filed. the interest of each party to
such contract in the real property af-
fected thereby is subject to the lien and
claim of person who shall thereafter
file a notice of lien under this chap

Legal Battle for the Late Miners
Wealth Begun at Los

LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 23.-
Though the fortune left by the late N C..
Creede or Harvey appears to have
shrunken from millions to about $3.50, 600,
there is no lessening of the endeavors OF
the opposing litigants to secure a slice OF
what is left. The will of the famous
miner having been filed for probate and
the widow having applied for letters of
administration a foundation was therein
laid for lively legal battle.
Mrs. Creede to-day applied to the court
for an order for an allowance from the
estate and permission to take up her resi-
dence in the Creede mansion. 1t is said
by the attorney for the deceased that such
an order cannot be obtained, as the wild ow
has sold her right for the $40, 900 she re-
ceived from her husband.
Another contest was started to-day by
Mrs. Edith NJ. Basford of San Francisco,
who filed petition to be appoin ted
guardian OF Edith Dorothy Creede, an in
fant, who, as related in the application,
has no living relative save her mother,
Walker, from wnom the petitioner was
divorced. As related in the petition, the
child, now years and 5 months old, has
no property except an interest in the
Creede estate. and the natural mother OF
the little heiress prays for legal posses
sion.

Fatal Duel on a Lonely
Country Road Near
Capay.
George Cooke of Placer
County Killed by Con-
stable Moore.
Had Attacked the officer Wher
Apr rehended for the Theft of
a Turkey.

WOODLAND, CAL, July 23.-George
Cooke OF Loomis, Placer County, was shot
and killed by Constable William Moore
near Capay this morning. Cooke and his
l2-yearold boy were on their way home
from SonOma County and camped on
Cache Creek Thursday night. At an early
hour this morning they resumed their
journey and while passing Ben iamin Dun
cans ranch the elder Cooke shot one OF
Duncan's turkeys anu carried it away.
Mrs. Duncan notified Constable Moore to
arrest The man. Moore began the pursuit
and overlook Cooke on the county road
about halfway between Capay and
Esparto and called to him to halt.
The officer made his authority known,
told Cooke to consider himself under ar
rest for stealing turkey and ordered him
to turn his carriage around and return to
Capay. Cooke offered TO pay the officer
for the turkey, but the latter refused and
again ordered his prisoner to return.
Cooke suddenly sprang from mis- carriage
and seized Moore. In the tussle that en-
sued Cooke succeeded in getting the Off
GERS pistol and commenced beating MIN
Over the head. In a few moments Moore
was again IN possession OF his pistol. HIS
assailant endeavored to overpower him,
and IN self-defense Moore fired. The bull
let entered the lett side of CooSe' 5 head.
Hs dropped to the ground and expired IN
few minutes.
Constable Moore Immediately dis
patched a messenger to Capay for DR..
Craig, while he w~Dt to Espsrto, where
he gave himself up, and notified the
Coroner and District Attorney OF the
tragedy. DR.. Craig and others fastened
to the scene OF the shooting, but Cookies
body was cold in death. 1t was removed
to the side of the road 10 await the arrival
of the Coroner of Woodland.
The only witness to the shooting was
the young son of Cooke. His story is sub
siantially the same as here gwen. but he
lays great stress upon the fact that his
father offered 10 paw Constable Moore for
the turkey. THIS the iatherless little fel-
low thinks was sufficient to mitigate any
offense which his parent might have COM
mItted.
Cooke wore a ragged suit of clothes.
Apparently he was about 45 years old.
Besides the son who was with him he
leaves a widow and three children At
Loomis. a tele phone message from there
was received to-day stating that Cooke
lived on a raEch about a mile from that
place. He and his son Charles left the
ranch several weeks a o.
Cooke and his family arrived in Loomis
about a year ago. He was considered a
good and peaceable citizen.
The Coroner held an inquest and the
jury returned a verdict in accordance
with the facts and exonerated the officer.
The remains were brought to this city and
will be shipped to Loomis for interment

PAGEANT OF VTARS COUNTIES.
MaqH lfcent Panorama Displaying the
Varied Resources of the Rich
YoUro State

SALT LAKE, UTAH, July 23.-Not alone
to the stranger but to the well-informed
citizen OF the State did the pageant of the
counties of Utah come this morning as a
revelation. AS one artistic float fol-
lowed another, each burdened with the
representations of the wealth and re-
sources of the natural or manufactured
products OF county, the effect was most
impressive. The parade of the counties
was grand idea, and grandIy was it
carried out All that has been said and
written of the resources of the State and
OF its several counties has not told the
story as eloquently and graphically as
did this procession.
In the three great Kingdoms of nature
mineral. vegetable and animal-it was
shown that the several counties embrace
POSSIBILITIES that have not yet begun to be
developed. The variety OF natural riches
that were displayed was the most striking
feature of all. 1t was shown that nearly
every thing used or priced by civilized man
could be obtained or produced within the
limits of the State. Such a showing of
what Utah possesses and can supply 10
her people and the world cannot but pro-
duce great and good results.
The educational and agricultural inter-
ests of Cache County, the fruits of Box
Z der, the coal mines of Carbon, the
precious metals Of Summit the sheep and
grain OF San Pete. the wine and silk OF
Washington, and so on through the State
from north through to south were shown
in panorama which made the beholder
feel that Utah was a good place to live in.
Mosiah L. Hancock, citizen OF Nephi,
100 miles south of Salt Lake, lett his
home on foot last Wednesday morning
about 6 o'clock intent on seeing the
Jubilee and arrived in this city about
O'Clock last evening, having walked nearly
the whole distance. President Woodruff
of the Mormon church, i'll though ne is,
has sIgnlned his desire o take part in the
big parade to- morrow, which will be the
crowning glory of the celebration.
Among the big events OF tomorrow
will be the raising of ths Salt Lake
Herald memorial flag on Ensign Peak,
the mound on which the stars and stripes
were unfurled fifty years ago.
