NOTES VALIDITY
TO Be ATTACKED
Legal Strife for a Yolo
County Estate.
Special Dispatch to The Call

WOODLAND, June There is strong
probability that a sensational trial, in
volving the validity Of a note, will take
place in Yolo County at an early date.
The facts in the case. so far as they have
been developed, are about as follows: In
the latter part Of last November George
Washington Johns, an old settler, died in
this city leaving a large estate in Yolo
and Colusa counties. His will was pro-
bated in this county and Elizabeth j.
Gregory and George w. Gregory were
appointed executors. The estate was be-
queathed, share and share alike, to four
children of deceased-James w Johns,
Elizabeth J. Gregory, Matilda A. Allen
and Polly Ann Nancy Friel-with the pro-
vision that they shall not convey TO other
parties or incumber their share of the
property with any Indebtedness. In case
of the death Of any of said children their
interest in said estate shall go TO their
children. II they have no children, then
their share shall be divided equally be-
tween the remaining children of deceased.
W hen the will was made public many
acquaintance of the family were sur
prised that the deceased had not provided
for his grandchildren, George W. Gregory
and Mary Gregory.
1t has since teen discovered that they
were provided for in another manner. \
claim has been presented to the executors

DRY and Mary Gregory, with interest at

This claim was recognized and approved
on June ), 1899. by the executors. one Of
whom: Mrs. Elizabeth J. Gregory, is also
an heir. Its presentation was a surprise
TO the other heirs of the will who did
not know of its existence. II played an
important part in the recent contest 1ver
the petition of some OF the heirs for a
partial distribution of the estate. which
Judge Gaddis has now under advisement,
could be made until ali debts of the estate
had been paid. During these proceedings
j. c. Ball. attorney for several of tie
heirs, intmated that the claim of the
grandchildren would be contested on the
ground that the deceased never executed
the note.

HORSWHIPPED
BY AN ACTRESS
Marcus Mayer Attacked
by Miss Orme.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, June Marcus R.
Mayer, who was manager for Adelina
Patti on several of her American tours
and is at present business manager for
olga NethersOle, was horseWhipped this
morning on the steamship st. Paul of
the American line shortly before the
vessel sailed. Miss Ida Orme, an &C
tress and composer OF songs. welded
the whip. Twice the lash fell across
the theatrical managers face. each
time raising a welt. Miss Orme then
ran down the gangplank. but was
pursued and captured. Mr. Mayer
however, found he would lose his pas
sage on the ST. Paul if he remained to
make a charge against her and de-
clined to do this. She was released.
The young woman, who has figured
in public happenings before, reached
the American line pier early in the
morning and at once went aboard the
St. Paul. She was seen walking the
decks and stationed herself at the
gangway. Mr. Mayer, accompanied by
Miss NethersOle and Joseph Herbert
reached the ship twenty minutes before
sailing time and stood just beyond the
gangplank talking to George W. Led
erer manager of the Casino, and Mr..
Herbert. Miss OTme, VINO stood behind
the group. drew her whip and, reach
l~g over Mr.. Lederer's shoulder, struck
Mayer twice in the face with it. As
he fell back his silk hat was knocked
off and rolled down the gangplank.
Miss Orne fed down the deck to the
gangplank used by the second cabin
passengers and thence to the pier
where she was seized by Mr.. Lederer
She made some protest, but he insisted
that she accompany him and led her
down the dock to q policeman and
called upon him to arrest the woman.
The policeman said that if Mr.. Mayer
would 90 to the station house and
make a complaint against the woman
ne would arrest her. but otherwise he
could not DO SO. When Mr. Mayer de
clined TO do this, Mr.. Lederer offered to
make the complaint, but the policeman
would not accept it and Miss Orme
was permitted to go.
Mr.. Mayer, as he bathed the marks
left by the whip on his face, said he
did not know his assailant and was at
loss to account for her act.
She was arrested in London some
years ago. he said, and in an inter
view I said that she was undoubtedly
insane. She was in an asylum at that
time, l believe and may have nursed
some resentment against me. The
American ambassador succeeded in OBJ
tanning her liberty at that time after
she had promised TO return to America
and remain. l have never seen the
woman"
Mr. Mayer has done everything pos
sible to hurt me professionally" said
Miss Orme this evening. In London
he said I was insane and was, l firmly
believe, the cause of my incarceration
in an asylum. ! have recently sought
an engagement here and would have
closed with the management put for
Mayer. I have not done with him yet
and when he returns from London
will be on hand to receive him

tract for the erection of the Nymphia had
been let to Hannah Bros, and that he
had examined the plans and specifications
OF the building and that it was to be filled
with cribs for immoral purposes. The
only way he declared. that the impending
and degrading evil could be a.verted was
to defeat the permit asked for by the
Hannah Bros. that they be allowed to
make some alterations in the building. for
upon this depended the CONSTRUCTION of the
cribs. He then said that the first permit
already granted had been gotten through
the Board of Supervisors by false repre-
sentation. AT the conclusion of. his, re-
marks the following resolution offered by
by a rising vote:

SUES FOR SCHOOL FUNDS.
Stockton's Action Against County
Superintendent Wright.

STOCKTON, June Judge Budd to-
day issued a writ of mandate requiring
County Superintendent of Schools Wright
to show cause why he should not pay over
TO the city $1,000 or whereabouts, alleged TO
be due on a proper apportionment of the
school funds. The trouble is not of Mr.
Wright's making, but originated during
George Goodell's administration of the
office he having decided that those pupils
attending night and high schools were not
entitled to enumeration in the census upon
which the apportonment of State school
funds was made; in other words, the State
fund was intended for primary and gram
mar schools and must be apportioned to
these schools upon basis Of the number
of children of school age in the several
districts
Superintendent Wright makes answer
that inasmuch as the apportionment was
made by Mr.. Goodell he should not be
required to pay over the money, as future
decisions might show that he was not
justified in SO doing. and he would thereby
become personally responsible for. the
amount The city of Stockton was plain
tiff IN the action.
