Al Sacramento on November "a.
Judge J. f. Ellison OF Tehama coun-
ty rendered q decision in the
case of Amanda p. Austin against
the estate of the late Jefferson Will
coxson, in which he gives to the
plaintiff an annuity Of 81, 200, or 800
a month, for life the cash value of
such annuity being found to be S1S..
900. This case has been one of the
most interesting contests of the kind
10 Sacramento county. 1t occupied
more than q months time in court
and was bitterly contested on both
sides, developing two or more scan
dals during the trial.
Miss Austin came to Sacramento
in 1879 when O young girl, at the
request Of her uncle, Jefferson Will
coxson, who said in letter he had
written to her that he wanted some
one to nurse and care for him in his
old age. Wilcoxson died two years
ago and did not mention Miss Austin
in his will. After his death over
S200, 900 in cash and certificates were
found in his safe, which were like
wise unmentioned in his will. Miss
Austin sued for $3.50. 900 of this claim.
ing that her uncle had put it in the
safe for her. and basing this claim
upon statements made by Wilcoxson
to various persons, all of whom
testified in the case.
Judge Ellison, in his decision,
throws out all evidence regarding
specific amounts, but finds that Will
coxson had engaged to provide for
his niece after his death. The Will
coxson heirs say they will lot Miss
Austin take her judgment and that
there will be no appeal.

HeIe. Gould Fights Roberts.

Miss Helen Gould has given up
almost every pleasure or recreation
to devote her time to the crusade
against the retention in Congress
of Brigham III. Roberts. In accord
ance with requests of the firemen
and policemen to Miss Gould after
the Hotel Windsor fire. to call upon
them at any time. in any capacity in
which they might aid her, they have
received their call and they have re-
sponded. Miss Gould wrote to the
heads of both departments, asking
that the men lend their influence to
spread the anti-Mormon petitions
among voters. She received en-
couraging letters in reply, and also
one from the sdjutant of the Asso-
citation OF Spanish War Veterans.

the fact that of the six Vice Presi-

same day Of the month of the same
month in the year, the death of Mr..
Hobart being the 21st OF November.
1899; that of Mr.. Wilson the 23d of

PROSPERITY In NEVADA

1.-THE ranchmen of the State oi
Nevada were never in higher spirits
than they are to-day. Large num-
hers of them have disposed of their
herds at exceptionally favorable
prices-higher than has prevailed in
ten years-and with o bright prospect
before them they are consequently
happy"
At least that is the statement made
by j. G. Dunphy, one Of the fore
most ranch owners and cattleman in
the State Of Nevada, during an inter.
view with Bulletin reporter in San
Francisco on Nsv. 22. Mr. Dunphy
declared that feed was abundant and
that the hay crop was the most pro-
digious raised in many years.
"Steers" said he ARE bringing 7c
per pound. and cows &c per pound,
and the farmers have sold so gener-
ously that their stocks are almost de.
pleted. Even yearlings have been
disposed of by the thousand, and as
a result cattle are very scarce at the
present time"
Mr.. Dunphy stated also that a
similar condition prevailed through
out California.
