divisible into three. so that they are easily
packed, and, moreover, contain money,
powder puffs, hair pins and other useful
items in each division. Tea baskets are
combined with luncheon baskets and carry
great deal in small space, while a
leather bag has been fitted up to answer
the same purpose. A table which displays
a roulette cloth on the top has inside al
most as many games of every description
as could be played throughout the summer

table revolves and turns into a writing

1t is an essential part OF Coggswell's

Coggswell divided society into two
classes-the people chosen Of the Lord
and those who owen allegiance to his
Satanic majesty. The chosen few are
not called upon to engage in the varied
avocations of every day life, their work

scripture to define the special work they
shall engage in and in preying upon the
public for support they appear to regard
as very necessary, as it is a rather
creditable "looting of the Philistines. ("

More Litigation Threatens in the
Alaniz Estate

No sooner has the litigation over the
validity Of the will of the late Concep-
cior. Alaniz ceased than new trouble has
been inaugurated by two nieces Of the
deceased old lady.
Dorothy Alaniz Pool has just brought
suit against Amada Conception Warner,
as executrix of the will Of Conception
Alaniz, to recover certain trust funds
which she alleges her aunt held in her
behalf. 1t is alleged that in May, 1865,
the Sonora Alaniz was appointed legal
guardian Of the plaintiff, who was an
orphan, and she passed into the care of
her aunt. The girl was entitled to an
undivided one-third interest in certain
property on Main street, adjoining the
Lanfranco block, but this she did not
learn until many years later. Just to the
contrary the Sonora Alaniz never let
the little girl know that she was her
legal guardian, but collected the rentals
from her wards property and, saying
nothing about it, appropriated it to her
own use. The old lady was shrewd and
rather close-fisted business woman, ard
while she put her niece's income into
her own fund this she invested in real

to her ward nor to the court, and up to
the time Of her death retained her posi-
tion of guardian.
When the serora Alaniz died, hel
ward and niece learned for the first time
that her aunt had also been her guar
dian and that she owned, some little
property in her own right. The sonora
left property valued at $4,000, and OF
this the plaintiff owns $5364.S9, and a
claim for this amount was filed with
the executrix, who figures as defendar;
in this suit, but the claim was rejected

~Wild Cat" Mining Deal-A Chinese
Gambler Fails to Get Damages
Iron and Steel Co. Debts

The oldstime suit, begun when the
Southern Pacific first displayed an iE-
tention to double track Alameda street,
was galvanized into life yesterday for
the doubtful edification Of Judge Shaw,
and in, order that the temporary order
granted long time ago restraining the
railroad corporation from carrying its
design into effect should be made per-
petual.
This particular suit was begun by
John G. Downey, now deceased, M. r.
Collins, ex-Mayor Workman and D. G.
Stevens and the temporary restraining
order was granted on November Z, 1893
When Ex-Governor Downey died, The
administrator of his estate, ]. Downey
Harvey, took his place as plaintiff in the
suit The interests of the estate were
important, for the reason that it owned
almost entirely the property on the east
side of Alameda street where the rail-
road company desired to lay double
track But some time later the suit was
dismissed so far as the Dowrey suit
was concerned. ard with opposition thus
removed the Southern Pacific has dis
played strong inclination to build the
track on that side of the street where
opposition was not to be encountered.
Meantime the city stepped in as inter-
vener in the suit and was represented
yesterday by City Attorney Dunn.
The evidence taken was not prolonged,
and really resolved itself into question
for the court in constituting a city ordi-
nance. superintendent Muir stated that
his company had all along depended
upon this ordinance of 1872 as its au-
thority and warrant for building dou
BILE track. He conceded, however, that
he had applied to the city at very much
later date for franchise permitting the
Southern Pacific to double track Ala
media street, for the reason that such
actor was more expeditions than quib-
bling over the ordinance of 1872. At that
time, however, he stated that he never

Another Suit Against the Iron and

there is now owing on interest accoun,

a number Of mining claims somewhere
out in section 35, township north, range
west, and sold them to the Lepoids for
$1,000. OF this amount $700 was paid
over. 1t is claimed that the section is
owned by the Southern Pacific Rail-
way company and is not subject to To-
cation, and that Julia E. Lord, prior to
the date Of sale of the claims, succeeded
to the interests of the Railroad company
and is entitled to purchase from the
