hatred with which each scowled at the
other. Each took of his coat and
placed It carefully upon his left arm,
There was q moments pause-it was

men drew their murderous knives
from their sheaths and each began
striking, plunglng and slashing at his
opponent, each parrylng and guarding
as much as possible with the arm pro-
tected somewhat by the coat which
hung upon It. As the men were tied
together, It was impossible for the
fight to be long continued, and In
very few moments both combatantf

received seventeen wounds and the
other fourteen; but both were living
So stretchers we're brought from the
Hospital Noble, which was near al

was unique in the particular that the
complaints were placed upon cots

revived sufficiently they renewed their
fight and both were killed.-Anglo'

FIGHT TO BREAK
MILLS WILL BEGINS
The First Day Consumed in the
Drawing Of
T11ru

REDWOOD CITY, Sept. 27.-The
fight for the Mills fortune is now on IN
the Superior Court at this place. The
matter has been pending in one form
or another for the past two years. The
suit promises to be one of the most SEN
sational and most bitterly fought con-
tests ever known in the history of the
county.
Robert Mills died in this county in
1897, leaving a widow, two sisters and a
number of nephews and nieces. He left
no children. Now come Robert Scho-
field Chatham and Maria Elizabeth
Chatham Gardiner and claim to be the
illegitimate children of Mills and Mrs.
Chatham. BY reason of the alleged re-
lationship these two seek to have two
thirds of the estate distributed to them.
A jury was to-day chosen and sworn
in to try the issues of the case. The
taking of testimony will begin to-mor-
row morning at $50 o'clock and will
probably consume the balance of this
week and the whole of next and posi-
bly, longer.
The attorneys representing the
plaintiffs are Edward F. Fitzpatrick
and George c. Ross of this place and
Wilson & Wilson of San Francisco.
John E. Richards and John G.. Jury of
San Jose, A Kincaid of this place and
H. A. Powell Of San Francisco repre-
sent the defense The jury is composed
of J. H. O'Keefe, A. ]. Beer, NJ Moran,
