REDWOOD TITLES
ARE IN DANGER
Real Estate Tangle the
Outcome of a Suit.
PROPERTY OWNERS WORRIED
OVER a HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS INVOLVED.
Applications for Letters Of Ad-
nlinistration Will Cause
a Long Legal
Battle.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDWOOD CITY, July 14-The citizens
of San Mateo who own property there
and who will be seriously affected should
the claims Of James ]. Dow be sustained
by the courts have retained counsel to
represent them in the litigation that has
commenced. The proceedings commenced
by Dow upon the face are not such as to
attract any particular attention, but be-
meath the surface they are sufficient to
cause considerable anxiety on the part of
numerous property owners in the very
center of the city of San Mateo. Dow
has filed a petition in the Superior Court
at this place praying for letters of ad-
ministration upon the estate Of his de-
ceased father.
Another petition has been filed by Mag
gle ]. Sullivan, the surviving wife of de-
ceased, in which she asks the appointment
Of Public Administrator James Grove as
administrator The two petitions will be
heard together on August l, when the
court will determine to whom letters shall
be granted. William Dow died in San
Mateo on May q, 1882, leaving as his heirs
his widow, Maggie J. Dow, now Maggie
J. Sullivan. James j. Dow and grand
prior to his death William Dow owned
real estate which is now some OF the
most valuable residence property IN
San Mateo. So far as can be learned, the
claims Of the petitioner, James ]. Dow
to the estate which he seeks to recover
in the present proceedings are as follows:
William Dow owned the property IN
1867, in which year he filed homestead
upon it. His first wife died in 1881 and he
remarked. The place was again nome
steaded without having abandoned the
original In 1882 an action was COM
menced against him to recover Sl200, ana
was reduced to a judgment. Under an
order of court the property was solo TO
satisfy the judgment, and one j. f. F1em-
ing became the purchaser. The property
was afterward transferred to M. Gun
ningham, who sold it to the Rev. A. Il.
Brewer. Mr.. Brewer placed the land on
the market and the present owners pur-
chased from him. Dow's contention is
that the sale to Fleming was null and
void on account of the homestead stand
ing upon the property. The land has
passed into the hands Of numerous per-
sons, who have made valuable improve
ments upon it, the tract being valued at
the presnt at more than 100000.
Those who are affected by the proceed
ings and the value placed upon their
holdings are as follows: Estate of John
Lee $4,000; P. P. Chamberlain $40 900; f.
Demara, s15 900; c.. Dixson. $4,000; j. F.
Rogers, $40, 600; r. Wisnon, $40 900; Joseph
Paradi, $40 900; Mrs. S. C. Maybury, $4,000;
W. c. Caldwell, 5000; R. Luton. $500;
william Caldwell. $500; NJ. Doherty, $1,000;
Mrs. H. Jansen, $1,000; John Sullivan, $500.

SMITH NOT SHOT
BY COMPANIONS
Mine Guard May Have
Killed Him.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

WALLACE, Idaho, July 1.-THE prose-
cution to-day continued the tracing or the
movements of the rioters from the Varl-
Gus camps Of the Occur O. d'Alenes to the
scene Of the crimes Of April ~. Conduc-
tor Olmstead and Engineer Hutton told
how their train had been seized by mop
at Burke and taken to Wallace, stopping
to take on board men at every mill and
camp on the road. At the Frisco mill
Hutton was compelled to back his train
to the powder house, where about one
hundred boxes of dynamite were placed
aboard. The man who seemed to be the
leader had first made his appearance at
Gem, masked and armed.
At Wallace it was necessary to change
from the Northern Pacific to the Oregon
Railway and Navigation Company track,
and the engineer refused to go farther
without an order from the railway OH
cials. While the leader and conductor
were searching for some one in authority
the mob became impatient and ordered
Hutton to pull out. Those left behind
then took yard engine and followed or
to Wardner. Both Hutton and Olmstead
have been in the bull pen, but secured
their release on bonds.
DR.. 1. L. Magee gave testimony tending
to show that Smith could not have been
killed by his companions. Smith was a
member Of the Burke Union and was one
hill back of and above the mill which was
blown up. The main body went along the
fiat, and seeing the hill party opened fire,
mistaking them for enemies. More than
five hundred shots were fired before the
mistake was discovered, and it was about
this time that Smith fell. The ball en-
tered the back and came out under the
collarbone, passing through the body at
an angle of about twenty degrees. This
wound could have been made in but two
ways, according to the physician. Either
the man must have been standing on his
head or the shot came from above him.
Smith was farther UP the hill than any
of his companions, and this testimony
might be considered as supporting the as
sertion often made but denied by the Of
ficials of the Bunker Hill Company that
Smith was shot by one of the company s
guards who had retreated up the hill on
the approach of the mob.
a large number of witnesses testified to
the various crimes committed by the
rioters, but nothing tending to connect
the defendant with them was brought out.
