PARTIAL VICTORY
FOR MISS AUSTIN
Gets Part of WilCOXSOn
Estate.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 24-By the terms
Of a decision rendered by Judge Ellison Of
Tehama County this afternoon Miss
Amanda Austin is to receive $4,000 as her
share OF the estate OF Jefferson Wilcox
son, to be invested SO as TO realize ior
her an income Of 500 per month for the
rest OF her life.
Miss Austin sued the estate for $50 900.
and even the most conservative Of her
friends believed that she would receive at
least $4,000 by the courts decision. Judge
Ellison ruled that Miss Austin had COM
mitted an error fatal TO her claims when
she destroyed the letters written TO her
in Missouri by her millionaire uncle asking
her TO come West and care for him during
the remainder OF his life. promising her
ample reward upon his death. Judge Ell
lison held that in the absence OF these
letters. and in the absence also of any pro-
vision in Wilcoxson's will for his niece.
he could not determine Miss Austin $
share upon any basis other than the esti-
mated value of her services to him during
the twenty years when she was his COM
panion. The decision is satisfactory 70 the
Wilcoxson heirs. who say they had long
ago agreed 10 settle with Miss Austin tor

peared on behalf OF the railroad COM
pany. Mr.. kruttschnitt explained that

miles The statistics which he had pre-
pared agreed favorably with those given
By Professor II. c Adams yesterday, 10
the effect that the average haul was sec
miles
Mr. Kruttschnitt said that the railroad
companies objected TO carrying pu5lica-
uons and magazines at the present rate.
These are full of advertisements, he
said "and although they contain reading
matter the proportion is often only on
ratio of ! in 8. II in the wisdom OF Con-
gress II IS deemed best 10 carry that mat
