ace Porter. Ambassador to France, at

blanks upon which the certificates of

blanks upon which the certificates of
acknowledgement of the deeds were
made out were not struck off until more
than year after they purport to have
been filled in, signed by Notary Cooney.
Experts will be called to pass upon the
handwriting and show tracings and era
sures. 1t has long been limited by the
plaintiffs that the first intended benefi-
ciary under the alleged spurious deeds
was not Mrs. Craven herself but her
daughter, and that 1t was only after a
point blank refusal from the young lady
that the name of Nettie r. Craven was
substituted. 1t is said the experts will
show, by the aid of powerful lenses. that
underneath the name Nettie appears
the faintest possible tracing of name
erased, that of her daughter Margaret
In this way the executors hope to show
that the authenticity of the Craven deeds
cannot be established.

house that had not yet been occupied.
For several days after Antonio and his
family had moved into their new home
they heard strange sounds apparently
coming from the cellar Antonio was
busy with his farm work. and those at
the house were engaged in setting
things to rights, SO no effort was made
to. ascertain the causs of the sounds.
But when day after day passed, and
the noise from the cellar did not cease,
Nunez determined to make an investi.
cation. Though courageous, Antonio is
discreet, and he called in a few friends
to his assistance. Armed with shot
guns, they made their way into the
cellar. They had hardly reached the
inside of the stone-walled place when
from the space beneath the stairway
bounded a California lioness. Before
a shot could be fired the animal escaped
through the open doorway A second
later the Iona big ugly beast-made
a jump for the stairway. But this time
Antonio was ready, and killed the anil

SAN FRANCISCO. May 4.-The SUI

In the contest over the will of Mrs. Mary
A. Redfield which has been pending in
the local courts for the past five years.
Mrs. Redfeld left an estate valued at
$4,000. BY the terms of her will the
property was to be divided among rela-
tives. the greater portion being awarded
to Walter e. Johnson. her nephew. The
direct relatives of Mrs. Redfield were not
satisfied with the provisions OF the will
and filed contest alleging that Mrs.
Redfield was of unsound mind when she
executed the WILL
AT the trial the evidence of unsound-
ness Of mind showed only that Mrs. Red
field was parsimonious and given to
vague illusions. The testimony, how
ever, was suffcient to lead jury to be-
lieve her mentally unbalanced and the
will was set aside. An appeal was taken
to the supreme court and the case was
heard twice before a decision was reach
ed. In considering the appeal the court
finds there was not evidence enough to
show insanity on the part OF Mrs. Red
