placed in charge of the Boston d Mon
tana company's property, but was not &C
commodated. The sheriff was not pres
ent in person, but Mr.. Murphy, his chief
of staff, was. He told Kinds he was
not satisfied on all the legal points in
volved in the proposition to turn the
works over to him and while the matter
! remained in a state of uncertainty he
would be compelled to hold the writ of as
s~istance in allegiance.
Hin answered that he would bring
the matter into court again and left the
office.
Last evening the company's legal rep

1t is understood that the matter will be
presented in a different form. So far the
sheriff's deputies have been unable to find
any of the officials for whom attachments
are out. 1t is alleged that every nook and

Mrs Rose White of Sacramento, Cal,
has filed in the district court a deposition
in connection with the contest of the will
of her husband, "A. G.. White, the South
Main street hardware merchant who
died in this city a few months ago. In
many respects the contents of the docu-
ments are similar to some statements of
the trouble published several weeks ago..
She says she is Sc years old and became
the wife of Mr.. White on May 5, 1867; that
they lived together. until May of 1873
when they broke up housekeeping and
moved to Nebraska; that they lived there
uutil 1880 and acquired a home with their
earnings. In 1881 White went to Salt Lake
to look for work and she proceeded to
Truckee, where she worked as a cook and
supported herself and son. She frequent
ly heard from White up to 1887, when he
ceased writing to her. A few years later
she heard he was living in Butte. In the
meantime she had returned to Sacra-
mento. In 1892 her son visited his father
in this city. and in 1898 White paid her a
! visit in California. He was then in poor
health and decided the Reno property to
her because it had been acquired by their
joint labor and she had afterward sup
ported herself and son by working as a
cook. The son died in Sacramento last
year and the father passed away in Butte
during the winter.
The affiant further says that after
White died the body was taken to Sacra-
mento by Frank BrittOn. who managed
Mr.. Whites affairs. He wanted her to
sign a paper accepting the terms and pro-
visions of the dead mans will, but she
refused to do it because it contained al
legations that We're untrue. Among
other things 1t provided that she should
accept 5000 In lieu of her dover right.
