Sumner Estate.

sum Sr estate.
Yesterday Judge Perry overruled the
demurrer interposed on behalf Of j.
K. Sumner to the petition of Maria x.
Davis for the appointment of guard
ian and receiver. The petition alleges
that Sumner has for years been men
tally incapable of caring for himself
and managing his estate, all of which
has been due to mental decay and loss
Of memory due to cd age. The de-
murrer holds that the petition does
not set forth sufficient evidence to war
rant such appointment, and further
that the petition contains no averment
that J. K. Sumner is a person for
whom this Court has authority by law
to appoint a guardian.
Judge Perry holds that so far as a
receiver is concerned the Court is, in
his opinion, without authority to make
such appointment After quoting
many cases for difinition of insane
persons, Judge Perry concludes by
overruling the demurrer

Our Soldier Boys in Camp.

Mrs. P. F. Hazen, who has been at
Camp Olympia the past few days writes
the CALIFORNIAN very interestingly as
follows:
"Many will be interested to know that
the barrel sent Company D by the Volun-
teer Aid Association, reached Camp
Olympia, Burlington, safely and in time
for the use OF the boys when they arrived
at their quarters the first of last week.
Chaplain Day and Major Bonett ex-
pressed to the association most hearty
thanks saying also that the fresh clean
articles were just what they needed, as so
many were sick at the time of their
arrival. The barrel contained sheets,
(the size OF cot beds) pillow cases,
pajamas, hospital shirts. towels, hand
kerchiets, soap, a few magazines and
papers, scrap book and envelopes OF
cuttings for the use OF the sick. About
$40 was used in material.
ut has been my privilege to visit Camp
Olympia the past few days and it is need
less to say that was glad to take the
boys by the hand and say 1 am glad to
see you home again. The camp is de-
lightful for situation and all seemed glad
TO be in Gods Country again though
many were sorrowiul that the regiment
has not seen service except in the shade
OF Chickamauga Park. The boys now
have good milk and butter provided by
the state, b,side their government ra-
ciated. The $50 sent Major Jenne two
weeks ago by the Volunteer Aid was
transferred to Major Bonett. while at
Chickamauga and came to hand at just
the right time. Ten dollars was left Tor
the boys OF the company in the hos
pital at Chickamauga, 500 used for
the sick and well, on the way home and
$40 for expenses at the time of the death
of one of the company. The remainder
Major Bonett will use as he thinks best.
Every one speaks in praise of Chaplain
Day. He is the lie of the regiment, so
kind to the sick, bright and CHEEKY with
all.
"a few of the boys have been sick with
the measles, but their sickness lasted only
few days, and many of the regiment are
suffering from typhoid and malarial
fever. A nurse in the hospital ward at
Fort Ethan Allen where one of our BOYS
is said, we need old cotton, so much has
to be burned Any one wishing to give
any such articles please send them to me
and they will be forwarded with few
other things which, am sure, could be
made most useful in hospital wards.
Mon y will still be acceptable to the
Volunteer Aid Association as many need
medicine and tonics in the hospitals at
the camp and such assistance will not
come amiss to the sick boys who have
come home with malaria in their systems
"All the boys were ordered back tc
camp Monday to be ready for the review
by Gov. Grout on Wednesday afternoon

The management have engaged an
entirely new attraction for the Cal
edonia county fair at St. Johnsbury,

be treated to a free platform exhibition

will consist of trained Shetland pony
with riding monkey, a couple OF clown
acrobats and trapeze performers and the
laughable presentation of the trick house.
The animals and actors will appear be-
tween the heats OF the races during
Wednesday and Thursday and all who
have seats on the grand stand can see
these novel performances. Similar enter
tainments have been given at the fairs
throughout the state and wherever a
vaudeville performance has been given
one year there is a great demand for it
the succeeding year.
