August j. B. Abate, native Of Italy, have
been admitted to citizenship by Judge Allen.
The probate of the will of Isaac Brown
deceased, is asked by Laura Logan, the
residuary legatee, to whom $4,000 cash in
bank and some personal effects were left
Allen p. Nichols asks for letters of ad-
ministration, with the will annexed, Of the
estate of George S. Mallory, who died at
New York. city, March ., 1897, leaving an
estate valued at some $50, 900, and consisting
OF lands and mortgages in California
A petition for letters Of administration
of the estate OF Mrs. Mary L. Nichols was

mated to be SlS,500 consisting largely OF

ter Mary j. Mcconnell, yesterday. BY the

BOYS NOT GUILTY
Horsethieves Escape Serious
Trouble

Anacleto Gerra, the Mexican, who was
charged with joining Pedro Nalenzuela in
stealing two horses belonging to Leonidas
Tautini, had an examination before Justice
Young yesterday and was discharged. The
evidence was to the effect that the boys
were woodchoppers working near Tautini's
place. His horses which he used in hauling
wood from his own place came up missing
Dec. 18th or l4th, and he afterwards learned
that Valenzuela had sold one of them for
sl.5O. Thinking the boys had stolen them,
he swore to the complaints.
When Valenzuela was tried the fact was
developed that he found the two animals
strayng about, and judged from their con-
dition they had been abandoned. So he
took them. fed them and regarded them as
his own. Valenzuela was not regarded as
really guilty of wrongful intent, but his
chances in life were so unsatisfactory that
it was decided to send him to the reform
school,
Gerra was older and appeared to have had
nothing to do with the horses, so he was re-
leased on motion of Assistant District At
torney Williams.

A PHENOMENAL RECORD
Mcclure Has Travelled Half Million
Miles in Ten Years

. Deputy Sheriff Mcclure, who for ten .
years has been connected with the .
. sheriff's office, most OF the time in the .
transportation department, has kept .
. accurate data Of his mileage in taking o
prisoners to and from the state penal .
institutions, and claims total Of 500, .
. 600 miles in round figures or 5000 miles .
. a month for the entire period. .
. This phenomenal record is said to .
surpass that OF any other man engaged Q
in the transportation of prisoners in .
the United States. 1t is explained by .
. tho extreme length of the state of Cad .
ifornia, which necessitates nearly 1000 .
miles travel every time a prisoner is .
taken to either Folsom or San Quen- .
. tin. Mae has grown lean under it, .
weighing only l45 pounds, while Off .
GERS like Frank Davis, bailiff of Depart .
ment four, and Deputy Sheriff Wilson. .
. whose duties are less active, have been .
storing up adipose tissue till they .
weigh $50 and lS5 pounds each, while .
Sheriff Burr and Under Sheriff Glenn .
. ent, who enjoy the emoluments and .
leave the rustling to the deputies, .
. weigh over 200 each. .
. Deputy Sheriff Mcclure has earned .
a rest, but his friends would have pre- .
ferred to see him get in an easier posi- .
ton in the sherif's office than by the Q
severance of his relations altogether .
with that department of the public .
service. All wish him the utmost pros .
perity in his future engagements .

sideration Of the board, agreeing to furnish
the same kind of oil, delivered at the tank

Will Retain His Quarters

Judge York expresses the intention of
staying in his present rooms, though given
the option to remove to those about to be
made vacant by Judge Allen, who secured
those for long time used by Judge Van
DYKE. Judge York regards his own quarters
az preferable, both on account of their
sunny location and the convenience of his
chambers, opening as they do right at the

BURIAL EXPENSES
Supreme Court Has a Novel Appeal
for Consideration

In d decision just received in this city
the supreme court affirms the decision Of
San Luis Obispo judge in the case of II. C.
Porter against NJ Levin as administrator
Of the estate OF John NJ. Hughes, deceased.
Plaintiff brought this action to recover the
value of material and services furnished in
the matter of the burial of Hughes. He
presented claim for that amount to the ad
ministrator which claim was allowed in
part. Being dissatisfied with the proposed
deductions, he sued for the entire amount
and' got judgment.
1t was insisted by defendant, who ap-
pealed from the judgment, that the action
was not brought within three months after
the claim was rejected, and that therefore
it was barred. Sufficient answer to this
contention is found in the fact that a
claim for funeral expenses is not one of
those claims which the statute requires to
be presented to the administrator for his
approval. Hence the presentation to the
administrator in this case was useless labor.
The supreme court finds no merit in the
appeal.

Agent Haupt

T. H. Haupt and S. b. Rathborn, jr, of
Washington, D. c., called on Postmaster
Mathews yesterday morning. Mr.. Haupt is
special agent of rural free delivery in the
postoffice department. The village of Ar
mada in Riverside county has made appli-
cation for rural free mail delivery and Mr.
Ilaupt will visit the locality to determine
upon its recommendation. Application was
also made some time ago from the country in
the vicinity of Pomona.
The only county in California that enjoys
the convenience OF rural free mail delivery
is Contra Costa, the home of Congressman
Loud, chairman of the committee on post
offices. The department has desired to test
the experiment further. and the Southern
part Of the state has been entitled to the
privilege for some time in having the test
made here, but has only recently risen equal
to its opportunities in making the demand.
