of the availability of Judge w. F.

Supreme Court Decision Rendered
in Favor of the Son.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 25.-The
Supreme Court has rendered decision
in favor of the heir in case affecting
the estate of Susan Crooks.
Robert Lee Crooks petitioned to have
his share of his mothers estate set
apart to him, but an objection was
made by Wemple and Arnold, on the
ground that they should have the dis
tribution fixed in them, for the reason
that they held a mortgage for $4,000,
executed by Crooks. for his interests
in Susan Crooks estate. The Superior
Court found that Wemple and Arnold
had not made the proper appearance to
establish their rights, and refused to
distribute to them. They took appeal
to the Supreme Court. Robert Lee
Crooks, while not denying that he exc.
cuted the mortgage, moved to dismiss
the appeal, and the Supreme Court has
done so.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT
Preliminary Hearing of Clarence
Leland Before Judge Kennedy.
is BOUND OVER FOR TRIAL
He Struck a Woman Named Tessie
Leland With Knife-He Has Just
Served Sentence OF 80
Days for Vagrancy.

Clarence Leland, charged with as
land, was yesterday bound over to the
district court for trial by Judge j. M.
Kennedy. The bond was placed at $500,
which Leland was unable to furnish,
and he was committed to the custody
of the sheriff.
The assault with which Leland is
charged was committed in April. He
and the woman lived together, and one
evening they quarreled and he struck
her with a knife. Leland was arrested
a few days later and was sentenced
to 80 days, but was permitted to go
free on his promise to leave town. He
did not do so, but instead returned to
his old whereabouts, where he was
again arrested. This time he served his
sentence. During his stay in Jail, Tes-
sic Leland filed a complaint of assault,
with which he is now charged.
The woman claims that Clarence Lee
land is her husband. She says they
We're married several years ago and
were divorced shortly after.
At the preliminary hearing yesterday
afternoon, Tessie Leland testified that
Clarence Leland came to her cabin,
which is situated in Meanwhile, one
evening, and that they had a quarrel
and he struck her with a knife. The
two had a fight and the man Leland
was very angry for some reason I'M
known to her
The accused, Leland, told the judge
that he was drunk on the night of the
assault and does not remember what he
did. She was drunk also. Leland re-
members that they began wrestling and
that he struck her with knife, but he
was so drunk that he did not know
what he was doing.
Several other witnesses testified. At
ter hearing the evidence, Judge J. NJ.
Kennedy bound Leland over to the dis
trict court for trial.

County Commissioners.

Hamilton, June 6-The board of
county commissioners have not ad-
vanced much beyond the auditing of
bills to-day, outside of entertaining the
new proposition of Mr.. Ford, men
toned elsewhere.
The board to-day took up the matter
of the county road running from Eight
Mile Flat to the bridge near Florence.
This bridge was built in 1895, and at
that time the petitioners for the bridge
agreed to build the road mentioned
without cost to the county, which prop
osition was accepted. 1t appears now
that the road is not as it should be,
and the matter was the subject of to-
days discussion.
A couple of weeks ago, VIM. Dow,
claiming to be pauper, was turned
over to the county's charge and died
the next day. 1t is now claimed that
the deceased had relatives in Ross Hole
fully able to pay for the expense in
CURED, and the clerk was ordered by
the board to investigate and see if they
cannot be held responsible.
The board agreed to-day to furnish
o. A. Thatcher and others 5000 feet of
lumber, with which to fix the road from
the south bench of Burnt Fork 10
Stevensville, some four miles.
