tate of Emanuel Hauswirth, made a re-
turn today on the sale of some of the real
property belonging to the estate, and an
order confirming it was signed by Judge

1t went to Slemons & Lawlor for $3.50.
With the return was filed the report of
the appraisers, Messrs. c. S. Jackman,
Lee Davenport and w. 7. Boardman. 1t
shows the total value of the real estate
to be $4,O12.5 so.
Abraham Buol, administrator of the
estate of Jacob Bruesch, who suicided in
this city July rs of last year, made his
final report and petitioned the court for
an order of distribution. The report
shows the administrator to have paid out
$745.99 and received $1.145. AZ, leaving a
balance of $399. 43 to be distributed among
the heirs. There is also some real estate
to be divided.
Jerry j. Dwan, boss at the crematory,
was arrested yesterday on a warrant is
sued out Of Justice Harrington's court
charging him with having sold a consign-
ment of spoiled ounces after it had been
and ordered burned. The county attor-
ney authorized the arrest. Semple told
him that a few days ago he had con
demned sixty boxes Of the fruit that had
been shipped to Stromberg & Co., and
sent them to the crematory. Shortly ar
forwards he noticed some ounces on sale
that looked like the ones he had con
demned. An investigation followed and
the man offering them confessed to hav-
ing received them from Dwan.
The specific charge against Dwan is
grand larceny. On being arraigned be-
fore the justice he pleaded not guilty and
gave a bond for his appearance.

concert of action may better their con.

regular Republican nominee. The Re-
