MRS. SARAH BYROD'S ESTATE
HER NEPHEW IS STRIVING TO
SECURE 1T.
Says She Was Not Married to Jas
Byrod, but the Latter Says
- She Was.

An Oakland dispatch published in
San Francisco paper yesterday has this
TO say concerning the estate Of Mrs.
Sarah Byrod, a former resident of this
city, who lately died
Attorneys are trying to find James
Byrod. He holds the key to the situa-
ton in the prospective contest Of the
will of the late Mrs. Sarah B. Byrod,
the school teacher Of Oakland, whose
life story has developed remarkable
features.
"Ryrod, whose name the prominent
educator bore, was supposed to have
been her husband She omitted all
mention of him in her will, devising
the bulk of her estate to the Home of
Truth. If the Washington Cd. Co
nephew, George &. Ellsworth, who has
appeared as a contestant, verifies the
tale he has laid before his attorney, Hi
ram Luttrell, Byrod will cut no figure,
for Ellsworth declares that his aunt
was not entitled to the name she bore.
''Byrod is in California, has been in
Oakland, and the lawyers on both sides
are anxious to find him. Attorney
George E. de Cola, who represents Mrs.
Mary E. Hawkins, the executrix of the
WILL declares that he knows nothing
of Ensworth's claims. De Cola says:
Among the effects of Mrs. Byrod We
found letters from this nephew, urging
his aunt to send him money. That is
all We know about him. 1t remains for
US to find Byrod. If he is this dece-
dents husband, he will be the sole heir
to her estate. The law only permits her
to leave one-third of her property to a
charitable institution, and that is as
far as the Home Of Truth can benefit
by her will under any circumstances.
1t is known that Byrod lives and that
he is in California. Whether he will
come forward and establish a claim as
the heir is a question yet to be settled.
He holds the important place in the
matter just now
Attorney Luttrell said: My client
has presented straight and circum-
stantial account of his aunt's life. Upon
that we will stand in the contest of the
will in court. There is no doubt that
this man Byrod is no myth, that he ex
lists, and that he can throw much light
upon the extraordinary phase of the
case which has developed.
Whatever may be the outcome of
this contest, am satisfied from collat-
eral investigation that Ensworth's story
is true No one among her friends here
or in Sacramento knew her story"
WHAT BYROD SAYS
Mr.. Byrod was seen last evening by
Record Union" reporter, and said, in
reference to- the above:
My Whereabouts are we'll known to
the lawyers referred to. Mr.. de Cola
was here two days ago, and had a long
talk with me. Frank D. Ryan is look
ing out for my interests in this matter.
LAS to the allegation of Mrs. Byrod's
nephew that his aunt was not my wife,
can procure indisputable proof of our
marriage"
One thing is certain-Mr. and Mrs.
Byrod lived together in this city for
many years prior to their separation
and her removal to Oakland, and there
never was any question raised as to
their marital relations. If Byrod can
disprove the statement made by Mrs.
Byrods nephew he will undoubtedly
come in for a good share Of her $4,000
estate.

and will be shipped to Folsom some

penters will be put TO work and the
frame work of the dredger will be rush

The machinery is also being made

to be placed in position as soon as the
carpenters finish their work
An excavation, about seventy-five by
one hundred feet in size, down to bed

dredger in
The opening up of this mine means
much for Folsom. Fifteen men will be

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Daley company concluded re-
markedly successful weeks engage
ment at the Clunie Opera-house last
night, with a packed auditorium. The
company was in the best of spirits and
gave the idyll Dream Faces and the
low comedy Confusion" with a neat
ness, taste and energy out of the COM
mon. Miss Nannary was at her best,
and Mr.. Daley assumed still another
old mans disguise admirably. Miss
Courtney really succeeded at last in
the idyn in expressing soberness Of
thought by control of countenance.
With still further study of facial art,
this clever Soubrette will so far i'm
prove her work as to make it notable.
1t is possible to her. She has the ma
tive ability and the stage training
what she needs now is facial control
At the conclusion of the second act of
the comedy Mr.. Daley came forward
and made neat speech Of thanks for
support. He said it had been the most
successful of all the engagements he
has played in Sacramento, and an
nounced that the company would re-
turn in April He paid a handsome
compliment to the new manager, Mr..
Ficks, saying he had proved one of the
best and most accommodating man
ayers he had yet met. He likewise
thanked Professor Franz and the or
chestra and stage force for meeting
the demands of every play presented
fully. DALEY was loudly applauded
He was. happy, the audience was
pleased and general good feeling was
in the atmosphere.

much the senior of the poet. It is sup
posed that Shakespeare founded the
comedy on the Italian play 'Ingauni' -
which in turn was based on a novel
by Bandello, though Barnabe Rich
published in 1881 a tale having many
points of resemblance to the story of
Twelfth Night" but it remained for
Shakespeare to elevate the plot to the

Immortality of art and to invest it
with dramatic charm no other could
bestow upon it.
