Merritt; and Charles w. Sutro. The line is about evenly drawn and the interests of plaintiffs and defendants are about even, so a bitter legal fight Is assured.
 In the complaint plaintiffs ask that all questions concerning the validity of any gift, devise or trust under any instru- Sutro, under which the defendants claim, save such questions as under the consu- tuition belong exclusively to probate Jur- isdiction; be finally determined ana 4,a aa- They also ask that it be decreed that the said defendants have no interest in the property and that Emma l.. Merritt and w. H. R. Adamson and all parties claim ing under them be restrained from claim ing any interest in the estate.
 The property left In trust by the de- ceased includes all of the beach property, which is considered the most valuable asset of the estate, and in the event the trust clause is declared invalid. as it was in the will of the late Senator Fair, its value will doubtless be enhanced.
 In the answer filed yesterday by the defendants it is manifest that they have joined issues, not that the legal points in volved may be finally passed upon but with the purpose of sustaining the trust clause as well as all the provisions of the will. In the answer defendants deny that their claims are without right and aver that they are well founded; that the instru- ment establishing the trust is valid and the will of Adolph Sutro. AS trustees un- der the provisions of the will they aver that they are the owners or the property to which the plaintiffs seek possession and are entitled to the possession of all the property set forth in the complaint.
 As an affirmative defense and counter claim the defendants set forth that under the terms of the will all the property set forth in the complaint (the title to an un- divided two-thirds of which Is sought to be quieted by the action) was con- veyed to the defendant trustees for charitable purposes.
 In conclusion the defendants pray that the action be dismissed: that the court declare that the title to the property rests in the trustees named and that the plain tiffs have not jointly individually or oth- erwise any interest in or claim to the most valuable portion of the estate of the dead millionaire.

Bells Pistol Was Loaded.

William Bell. residing at 2912 Fourteenth street, while rummaging through a drawer in the bureau yesterday afternoon found an old-fashioned pistol which he proceeded to examine. Being curious to find out which end of the weapon the bull let went into and also which end it went out, he kept his finger on the trigger. and in doing so pressed sufficiently hard to snap the hammer. The report of the dis charge. together with the powder flashing into his eyes, satisfied him as to how a bullet leaves a frearm when properly charged Fortunately for Bell there was not sufficient powder to blind him, but his eyebrows were singed and his sight was temporarily affected. He Is now sat- isfied with his discovery.

t the ,,t5Iass Claus ssPGreeckelss building; It boarded the car for California street at the, Intersection of Grant avenue, Market and O'Farrell streets, and took trans fer at Hyde for the California street car west.
 The conductor observed that one of the passengers seemed to be sleeping soundly, but did not give the incident more than passing thought until the end of the run was reached. The conductor then sought to arouse the sleeping passenger, but did not succeed. The gripman and conductor consulted and decided to ascertain the name and residence of the passenger. Letters in his pocket convinced them that his name was J. c. Edwards and his resi- dence 202l California street. The car on the inward trip was stopped at this num- Der on California street and MT Edwards carried home. It is assumed that the stroke occurred just after he transferred from one car to another at Hyde and California streets. It may turn out that MT. Edwards got aboard of a California street car at Kearny or Montgomery street but it was his daily custom to take the other line and transfer. His friends conjecture that he was able to take care of himself at the transfer point, and, therefore. reach the conclusion that the stroke did not come until he got aboard Of the main line car.
 Mir. Edwards is the publisher and pro- prietor of the Coast Review He is comrade of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie. and rendered special service in secur- ing money to establish the Veterans Home at Yountville. He received the Re publican nomination for the State Board of Equaization to succeed A. Chese- brough and was elected, defeating John r. Dunn. He was an active worker throughout the late campaign, and should have taken a rest of two or three weeks after the result was made known, but he decided to remain in his office and attend to the affairs of his insurance journal.
 Last night the family physician report ed that MT. Edwards condition was i'm proving. L. B. Edwards, who is return ing from a trip East, wired from Reno yesterday that he would arrive in San Francisco this morning.

THE HEIRS OF
 ADOLPH SUTRO
 ARE DIVIDED Will Battle Over the Trust Clause. ANSWER HAS BEEN FILED TRUSTEES STAND BY THE OB- NoXIoUS PROVISION. Emma L. Merritt and W.H.R. Adam son Aver That the Title to the Trust Estate Is Vested
 in Them.
ANSWER HAS BEEN FILED
TRUSTEES STAND BY THE oB
 NoXIoUs PROVISION.

The clause in the will of the late Adolph Sutro establishing a trust over the major portion of his estate will not be stricken out and declared void without a bitter legal fight. This trust clause has divid- ed the heirs of the deceased and 1t is safe to assume that they will not again amalgamate their efforts to settle the vast estate until a decision of the highest court upon this clause has been obtained.
 Clara A Sutro, Edgar E. Sutro, Kate Nusbaum and Rosa V. Morbid appear as plaintiffs in the action recently filed to declare the trust clause of no effect
 Ihose who stand by the provisions of the Will are Emma L. Merritt and w IT. R.
 Adamson, as trustees of the trust estate: George w. Merritt, husband of Emma L.

 After 5 Years of Suffering.

It will be gratifying to Asthmatic readers to learn that an absolute cure has at last been discovered by Dr. Ru- dolph Schiffmann That the remedy is an effectual one cannot be doubted after perusal of such testimony as that of c. W. Van Antwerp, Fulton, N. Y.. who says: Your Asthma Cure Is the best I ever used. I tried it according to directions, and one box entirely cured me of asthma, and l have not had 1t since. I can now go to bed and sleep all night with perfect comfort, which I have not done before for 35 years, and I thank you for the health that I now enjoy. I hope that you will publish this letter, that others may learn of its wonderful virtues

Will Not Be Exhumed.

DOVER, Del, Dec. 12.-There has been considerable surprise expressed here over the report printed here as coming from one of the San Francisco papers in which 1t was stated that Chief of Police Lees of San Francisco had sent two physicians to this city to exhume the bodies of Mrs. Cunning and Mrs. Deane. There is noth- ing In the report. If such an attempt to gather evidence should be made 1t would certainly prove failure, for both bodies were embalmed before burial and the em- balming fluid would neutraliZe all traces of poison taken into. the stomach.

The Herald's special correspondent
with the troop wires the following con-
corning the selection:
Fort Russell, Wyo., June n--Today
was Utah day at Fort Russell, and in
consequence / troop has been dubbed
by the men of that exemplary organ
ization the orphan troop"
Captain Cannon this morning was
named for lieutenant colonel OF the
regiment by Colonel Torrey, with the
unanimous consent of the officers of
the regiment. The appointment meets
with the approval of both men and
officers What makes it specially sig
nificant and flattering is the fact that
Utah has only one troop in the regl-
ment, whereas Wyoming has seven
and Colorado two. During the time
the troops have been here Captain
Cannon has won great praise, not only
for the skill with which he has handled
his men, but for his general soldierly
bearing and behavior, so the appoint
ment has not created much surprise.
Colonel Torrey was heard to remark
this morning that he wished the OH
GERS of the regiment would strive TO
bring their organizations up to the
standard of Troop l. This speaks vol
umes for the efficiency of Captain Can
non as an organizer and drill master,
as Colonel Torrey is very conservative
in his statements. Colonel Cannon
leaves for Salt Lake this evening, to
return here Monday.

ing with problems of irrigation in Utah
is prefaced by reasons why more land
should be reclaimed.
This chapter is especially interesting as
summation of the general Dement'S con-
ferred by irrigation Among the Dement'S
First-Irrigation promotes better meth
DDS of agriculture; (a) by introducing the
small farm unit: (b) by fostering intelli-
gent farming; (c) by encouraging the pro-
duction of special crops
Second-Irrigation through the introduce
ton OF improvements in the methods on
agriculture, promotes commerce and bust
ness; (a) by largely increasing the produce
or the land, so reducing actual labor re-
CURED TO raise a given quantity OF the
produce; (b) by placing an insurance
policy upon the crops. thus greatly reduc-
ing the risk of the capital employed.
FISK SO great that farmers have. become
proverbial as weather grumblers; (c) by
making extensive culture not only posi-
BILE but preferable; Id by drawing the
farmers closer together, thereby opening
social possibilities now denied them as
class, and enabling cutivators to act in
combination for any public or social pur-
pose.
Naturalization. through the creation
OF business opportunity. furnishes
remedy for our industrial ills; ca by fur
nishing new outlet for human energy
thus relieving the congestion of our cities:
Cb) by making men more independent and
thus fostering contentedneSS and pat
riotism.-
Fourth-Irrigation benefits the state, as
ulstlhsulsheo from the individuals Dy
widening the basis of taxation. An ex-
tension of the irrigable acreage means an
increase in the annual national production
out OF which taxes are paid
Mr.. Brough reaches the conclusion that
in the introduction and development of
this beneficent agricultural system, the
Mormons merit the stately eulogy of
Conkling upon Grant-"Great in the
arduous greatness of things DONE
The author has frequently consulted
Colonel Stevenson, Prof. Fortier, Mr..
Rowe and other members of the state
believed the work will be of keen practi-
cal interest, not only to the irrigators of
Utah, but to those throughout the arid
region. For Utah is the geographical
center of the arid region and what has
been done there is a fair test of average
possibilities. and the problems of irriga-
ton in Utah are the problems, the solu-
ton of which confront the irrigators of
every state and territory in the arid
region.

There Are Others.

But Colonel Cannon is not '.the only
pebble on the beach" There are 9TH
ers," as the following viii show:
George r. Odell, manager of the
Coop Wagon & Machine company,
yesterday received telegram from
his son, T. George Odell, in Philadel-
phia, notifying his father that he had
passed a successful examination for
acting assistant surgeon in the navy,
which he had been waiting some days
to undergo. Young Odell is one Of
Utah's bright sons. He is highly en-
dorsed for an assistant surgeonship on
one of Uncle Sans cruisers, and his
examination was a preliminary step to
what his friends hope viii be an APP
pointment. Young Mr.. Odell stood very
high in his class, and if he is success
full in obtaining an appointment, there
is no doubt that he will uphold the
credit of his state.

Mo News of Second Call.

Nothing has been heard concerning
the second call for soldiers from this
state. And, sad to relate, the governor
has gone fishing, so it would appear
that there is no immediate danger OF a
call being made, for the governor could
not go fishing, if he expected any mill
tary business right away.
The infantry boys still hope. however,
and will go through with their skirmish
drill today, just as if nothing had hap
pened. The plan of the drill is as out
lined in The Herald a day or so ago.
The sham fight will take place in City
