VIII cause the Spanish government
TO d1op the negotiations and sui |
lenly fight on. If there were any
chance to procrastinate; to secure
an armistice without committing
themselves; in fact, to adopt any
course that would postpone The evil
day of settlement, the Sagasta min
istry undoubtedly would turn very
quickly toward it. But from that
point of view their case is hopeless.
| Meeting the Spanish overture with
frankness, the United States Will
demand that it should be treated III
the same spirit. If a disposition is
shown to parley at length this Will
not be encouraged, nor is 1t pc

CALABASAS JUSTICE
Murder Complaint Against Caldwell
and Harris Dismissed

Deputy Sheriff Barnhill returned yes
terday evening from Caabasas with
George Caldwell and j. T. Harris, the
two Las Nirgenes mountaineers who
killed old man J. w. Hilton, an ex-
| horse doctor. and their ne!ghbor. by fill
| ing him full of buckshot, because he de-
clined to let them use a road through his
ranch. The particulars Of the homicide
have been fully detailed in The Herald.
At the preliminary hearing held yes
terday morning at Calabasas before
Justice Richardson, the court ordered
the prisoners discharged and the COM
plant dismissed but Assistant Dis
| trict Attorney Williams, who appeared
for the prosecution placed them imme-
| diately in the custody of the deputy
sheriff, and they We're brought back to
the county Jail.
EX-Justice Of the Peace Newell of
Calabasas was counsel for Caldwell and
Harris, two typical mountaineers in
homespuns and overalls. unkempt and
with stubby boards, whose features
show hardihood and determination.
After the testimony Of two witnesses had
been given, it became apparent that At
torney Williams was not satisfied with
the manner in which the Calabasas
court Of justice is run, and at the con-
clusion Of the examination he submitted
the case without argument proceeding
which the eXjustice of the peace ap-
proved of very much, as he, too, de-
clined to deliver an Grafton.
But his elation at the favorable turn
the affairs of his clients had taken was
changed into a horrible string of bias
phemy, mainly directed at Deputy
Sheriff Barnhill for presuming to re-
arrest the men at the dictation Of the as
sistant district attorney. He declared
that since lS49 no such outrage had
happened at Calabasas as the re-arrest
Of prisoners ordered discharged by its
judicial great mogul and the more he
brOOded upon it the more his "cuss" Vo-
cabuIary increased in size Deputy
Sheriff Barnhill was very glad when the
vehicle which carried him ana his pris-
oners away from the blue streak Of in
Vcctive Of Newell had got beyond ear
shot.
Caldwell and Harris We're warming
themselves at the county Jail stove last
evening after their long, cold ride look
ing glum and disprited at the prospect
Of a new examination before Justice
Young in Il day OF two, and with almost
the certitule of being held to answer for
Il crime which seems to have been cold
blooded and uncalled for.

mony that he owns two houses on Clara
street, off Macy. Just above this prop
erty is a Chinese market garden, bound
ed by the public zanja, which is under
the supervision of the city authorities.
Owing to the alleged carelessness of the
water overseer the zanja was permitted
to overflow, and the plaintiffs property
was flooded to a depth of two feet. A
quantity of barley, bran and hay was
destroyed, the foundations of the houses
were weakened the plastering fell down,
and in all the damage was assessed at
$99
The defense did not attempt to contro-
vert the statements Of plaintiff, but
moved for non-suit on the ground that
the state law provides that city can
not be held responsible for the acts of its
servants. Also, on the further ground
that demand for the amount claimed
had never been presented to the city
council and refused.
on this showing both sides submitted
their case.

A BOOM CLAIM
A Claim of $4,000 Against Dan Nc
Farland and Others

Another old-tine boom" suit loomed
up yesterday in Department three be-
fore Judge Torrance (sitting for Judge
York;. The National Bank of California
was seeking to recover from Dan Nc
Farland and Il number of other defend
ants 500, 1922, with eight per cent from
August 3, 1897, with ten per cent of the
amount for attorneys fees. All the de-
PENDANTS save Wiesendanger defaulted,
but he stood his ground as having in
terest in certain property given as Sc
curity.
1t was in June, 1890, note was given
by Mcfarland for S25, 900. and to secure
payment a mortgage was given on lots
S and II of block "A, lot 8 of block "B, E"
lot of block ID, and lots Z, S, 12 and 13
of block &c" of McFarland's sub division
of Marengo ranch, with thrty-three
shares of Marengo water stock. At a
later date the security was further re-
inforced by 100 shares of the Sespe Oil
company. The note was never paid, and
only portions of the interest. The bank
had to pay assessments and taxes on the
real property, and after these deduc-
tions the amount of claim was as set
forth.

A LUCKY YOUTH
A Guardian Appointed for C. N. Bas-
sett's Large Estate

Charles n. Bassett is quite a chunky
youngster of II years, but he wants a
guardian. Having been fortunate
enough to have been born with silver
spoon in his mouth it is essential, III
law, that someone be appointed to see
that the silverware is not made away
with.
The father of the minor was Q, T. Bas-
sett, of the lumber firm of Bassett & Ne
heller at Santa Monica, who died at El
Paso, Texas on the second of the cur
rent month. leaving his son Charles as
his only heir. The boy is thus left alone
in the world without any very close rel
atives, but with plenty of money. L. y.
Blinn petitions to be appointed his
guardian in California, C. Il. Morehead
having already been appointed guardian
III the state of Texas.
The estate in California consists of the
Gardena ranch. consisting of $50 acres;
100 acres of land in the San Gabriel val
ley. being part of the Rancho Ia Puentc;
and $40 acres Of the Citrus tract. all of
which is valued at about 5000. In ad-
dition to the above, young Bassett in
herits a two-ninths interest in the bust
ness Of Bassctt x Nebeker, at Santa
Monica, and other valuable interests at
FL Paso. Texas. Altogether. young
Bassett may be regarded as a rather
fortunate youth.

SHANNON'S RAID
After Making S. M. Franks Acquaint-
ance. Burglarizes His Room

ance. BurRlar1ZeS his Room
s. NJ. Franks reported yesterday
morning to the police that his room at
the New England lodging house, at the
corner Of Second and San Pedro streets.
had been burglarized and a number of
things stolen from it. He suspected a
young man whose acquaintance he had
made on Tuesday, and he gave his de-
scription to Detectives Steele and F'lam-
mer. Franks is a milk wagon driver,
who halls from DoWney. The descrip-
ton given by the hayseed fitted a fe!
low named Shannon who is not unknown
to the police.
Detective Flammer found Henry Will
son Shannon, formerly of South Da-
kota, in bed at lodging house, and re-
covered a Smith & Wesson, a watch and
chain and an overcoat which belonged
to Franks Detective Steele discovered
a suit Of clothes, also Franks property,
which Shannon had traded in a second
hand store for the suit which lay on a
chair near his bed.
Shannon was locked up, and arraigned
yesterday afternoon before Justice Nor
rison on the charge of larceny. He has
not been here very long, but managed
to be run in on suspicion by Officer Red
fern some time ago, while he was max
ing sandbag in a tin shop. When
brought into the Office, Detective Haw-
ley recognized his as a fellow whose
whereabouts had been inquired into by
Irwin d. Aldrich, of Millbank, South
Dakota, in December last. He is sus-
pected there, with a good show of rea-

BRIDGET WILSON'S ESTATE
All Litigation to Be Compromised and
the Estate Wound Up

The estate of Bridget Wilson was
originally a large and valuable one, but
the prolonged litigation has made a hole
in it, and how much of it will be left is
moot question. Inasmuch. however
as the executors of the estate have been
granted permission by Judge Clark to
compromise the suits that are now pend
ing, the chances are just at present in
favor of the estate winning out with
more dollars than might have been an
ticipated.
The matter bobbed up in Department
Two when the petition Of Frank Sabichi
and John McConnachie, executors Of tha
will, already referred to, came before the
court. 1t will be remembered. perhaps.
that the will was contested by the hus-
band OF deceased, and in August. 1895.
the court revoked probate and letters
testamentary granted to the executors.
John p. Moran was then appointed spe-
cial administrator. giving a bond for
f3S, 900 with sureties bound in sums ag-
gregating $4,000.
But meantime an appeal from the or

THE CREEDE CONTEST
Frank Finlayson Occupies Another
Day in Argument

Frank Finlayson continued his argu-
ment in the Creede will contest case yes
terday before Judge Clark. So ex-
haustiVely is he reviewing the legal side
of the case, SO many the authorities
cited and read from to sustain each con-
tention raised by the contestant, that it
is very doubtful when he will close.
Already this argument has lasted for
nearly two days, and it is not i'm
probable that it will continue just as
long again.
Occasionally the court will interpose
to remark or discuss some knotty point.
and then Judge Hunsaker will Join in
sustaining the position, being upheld by
his colleague Upon opening. Mr.. Fin
layson stated to the court that the case
in all its phases had occupied his atten-
tion during all of his spare time for six
months. and it would appear from his
argument as if he had burned the mid
night oil to some purpose

der revolSing probate of the will had been
taken to the supreme court, and in June,
1897, the order was reversed by the
court of last resort, and the executors
renstated. In September, 1897, the ac-
count of Special Administrator Moran
was settled by the court, and it was then
found that balance of s9.S1654 was in
his hands belonging to the estate. The
executors demanded this money, but
Moran refused to pay except the sum of
S6S5.34. In the same month of Septem-
ber suit was begun against the special
administrator to recover to the estate
$3.50, and this action is now pending.
John Wilson, husband of the deceased
Bridget, and the contestant of the will,
also died intestate in February, 1896.
leaving as his sole heir his sister, Ma
tilda Walden. 1t is now represented that
the pending will contest is about to be
dismissed, and all the litigation in the
estate compromised under an agreement
between the legatees and devisees of
Bridget Wilson on the one side and Ma
tilda Walden on the other side. Under
the terms of this compromise the resi-
due of Bridget Wilson's estate is to be
distributed to Matilda Walden after
paying certain amounts 10 the leSateeS'
and after distributing to John McCon-
nachie and w. Martin Curran and Mary
E. Curran certain interests in real es-
tate devised to them.
Special Administrator Moran has Of
fered. with his bondsmen, to pay to the
executors $S067, and to assign to Ma
tilda Walden all claims which he may
have against the estate, and resign his
position into the hands of the court.
The executors claim that they can coll |
lect all moneys from Moran. but are
willing to compromise as Matilda Wal |
den so desires. and she is the onlS person
