which are the Hassayampa, Black

of Riverside, on the ella at Greater

mountains, and Ono Bianco district.
Large fields are reported in the south
western part of Pima county, tut ll'

paid much attention TO the placers OF

that there were thirteen in the prisoners

prisoners probably concnrred.
Neal Nicholson was convicted of burg

dertaker's shop at night, and was sem
fenced to three years at hard labor in the
State Prison at Folsom. 1t was fortunate
for Nicholson that he chose a business
place instead of private residence as the
scene of his depredations, as the courts
deal more sternly with criminals who in

who enter empty houses, whsre tLere Is

GOLD NUGGET MAN.
A Trick That He Has Successfully
Played Upon Several People
Recently.


Played Upon Several People
Recently.
A tall, elderly man, dressed as farmer
and known as the "Gold Nugget Man."
has, after lapse of two or three years,
commenced operations again.
The field for his operations is in the
neig borhood of the leading hotels and
banks and he appears to be an apt stu
dent of human nature, as he seldom meets
with failure.
His modus operandi is as follows: He
covers piece OF lead about half an inch
long and a quarter of an inch thick with
gold leaf. Then he places 1t at a conven-
lent spot, covering it with dust or mud to
escape observation. He stands few feet
away and when he sees likely victim ap-
preaching he picks up the spurious gold
nugget, faces the approaching victim
scraping the dust or mud from it. The
victim, as a rule, asks him what he has
found. and he replies, Look, it is a gold
nugget"
The victim becomes interested and when
the old man tells him he is poor and wants
money badly and will part with the mug
get for few dollars he generally gets the
money and hurries away.
The trick has been played successfully
several times within the past few days.
One of his victims was II. Anderson, a
curbstone broker on Montgomery street,
who parted with $5. Tourists are his par
ticular prey and the victims are so dis
gusted with themselves that they are
satisfied to bear the loss Of the few dollars
rather than let it be known that they were
so easily duped.

years of age, tall and with iron-gray
whiskers closely trimmed. He lives in

CROOKS ESTATE IS
TO Be SETTLED

Partition Of a Million
Dollars.
Real Property in All Parts OF
San Francisco Is TO
Be Sold.
Heirs and Creditors Anxious to Re-
ceivs the Shares 10 Which They
Are Entit ed.

An important action at law for the set
tlement of the affairs of the well-known
Crooks estate has been begun in the
Superior Court by NJ. c. Hassett, attorney
for Samuel R. Crooks, the amount in
volved being nearly $l,0O0,o0O. 1t is in all
respects friendly suit intended to deter
mine the rights of heirs and claimants to
the Crooks estate.
Among the defendants named are: JON
athsn J. Crooks, Matthew ]. Crooks, Rob-
ert Lee Crooks, Margaret ]. Morffew.
California Newton, Susan Smith, Ida
Olive Hodgen, J. J. Crooks as executor OF
the will of Susan Crooks, Kate M. Skelly,

and Savings Society, Christian Strobel,

irix of the will of Stonewall Jackson

The real estate involved is mostly To-
Gated in this City and is very valuable. 1t
is scattered all over the City from North
Beach to the Potrero and from East street
to the park. Quite lot ls on Julian
avenue, near Fifteenth street, not far from
what was formerly Woodward's Gardens,

The complaint alleges that plaintiff
Samuel r. Crooks has an estate OF inherit
ance in the properly, consisting of an in
dividual one-ninth thereof as tenant in
common; that the defendants Jonathan
J. Crooks, Matthew J. Crooks, Robert Lee
Crooks, Margaret Molffew. California

who have each like individual one-ninth
interest therein, and the defendants Flow
Crooks and Jackson B. Crooks are also
together the owners OF an individual one
ninth part as tenants in common with the
plaintiff.
1t is also set forth that the Hibernia
Savings Bank, Thomas Ambrose. Chris
tian Strobel and Kate NJ. Strong have in
terests in the real estate in some sort by
reason of mortgages and liens on the
same. The other defendants have claims,
or at least pretend to have claims, that
are at present unknown.
The plaintiff therefore asks that judg-
ment be entered in accordance with the
respective rights of the different claim
ants, and that if partition cannot be made
then that the property be sold and the
proceeds distributed according as the
rights of the parties may appear.
