 LATE MARY MOEDINGER

 tor and 8 Fraud.

WOODLAND, Dec 29.-Fred Moedinger. brother of Mary Moedinger, who died in San Bernardino December 5, left for that place this morning to make an investiga- ton concerning the disposition of some personal property she was known to pos sess at the time of her death Judge Gaddis on Wednesday appointed young Moedinger a special administrator for that purpose. This property consisted of stock in the Woodland Building and Loan Association, valued at $500, note for S4O0 given by M. R. York and jewelry and other personal effects of the value of S10O
 The body of the young woman was bur jed in Woodland Cemetery under a per init issued in the name of Mary Moedin- ger and in lot purchased by F. P. Moedinger. Nobody was in charge of the body when 1t arrived in this city on De- cember 10. but on the box was a card bearing the name of Mrs. Mary A. Demp- Sey.
 The family of the deceased communi cated these facts to the Sheriffs office and sought assistance in that quarter. A letter was written to the Sheriff of San Bernardino acquainting him with all the facts so Tar as they were known here and requesting him to make an investigation In reply letter was received in which if was stated that a man named John dempsey was in possession of the per ing that she was his wife
 TWO letters were written to Dempsey but there was no response to either Tele. grams were next sent to the County Clerk, and 1t was aScertained that no license to marry had ever been issued to There are many suspicious circumstances that tend to confirm the theory that John Dempsey IS an fmpoStor and that he was not the husband of the deceased

JOHANNESBURG SEETHES
 WITH DISCONTENT
Boers Are Now Discussing the Pros
 pect of Conflict With Great Britain.

LONDON, Dec. 29.-A disquieting situa- tion Is developing at Johannesburg. Ac- cording to the latest advices the place is seething with discomfort, as 1t was on the eve of the Jameson raid, in consequence of recent and proposed Government meas ures which the Uitlanders regard as being fresh series of impositions. In addition racial animosities are intensfying at the vexatious treatment of the British In- dians" and Cape Boys," which Is caus- ing much bitterness.
 The newspapers publish venomous arti- cles on the subject. The Boer organ, the Rand Post, yesterday discussed the pros pect of war with Great Britain and ad- vised that on the first British act of war the women and children at Johannesburg be given twenty -four hours to leave: that the whole place be then razed, and that 'the perpetrators of those turbulent pro- ceedings. if caught, be thrown into the deep shafts of their mines, with the debris of their machinery for costly shrouds ' The paper added that "the whole Johan- nesburg will exult If the Africander Ward Is converted into a gigantic rubbish heap as mighty tombstone for the authors of the monstrous deed"
 The Pretoria Volkstein suggests that January 2 be observed as Jameson day and that Dr. Jameson be burned in effigy.
