cLARK's PROPERTY CLEARED. Judicially Declared Dead When He
 Was Alive in an Insane Asylum.

OAKLAND, May 1.-E H. Morgan has applied for and received an order of the Superior Court vacating all proceedings against George R. Clark. This became necessary in order to clear ClarkS title to his own property which had become entangled through years of litigation.
 Clark was commltteD ,f fo an insane hare asy ad years afterward had her husband de- clared judiciaIly dead. She then admin istered upon the estate. In some manner if was later learned that Clark still lived. She sought a divorce, but the. law for bade an insane party being defendant in such a proceeding, hence the case was thrown out of court. Ihen ne was oe- pointed his guardian, Clark being de- clared an incompetent person. He could do nothing with the property, as It was already distributed. The old order is now set aside and MT. Morgan will begin anew with the property and try to keep it in shape.
