HEYDE NFELDT
WIDOWS At WAR
Contest for Late Jurist's S
Property Assumes
New Phase.
Another Dispute Arises Over
Alleged Lease and
Compromise.

An answer and counter-claim was filed
yesterday by Elizabeth Heydenfeidt to
the suit instituted by Henrietta Heyden-
feldt some time ago. She denies the allie
cation made by the plaintiff that she
leased to her the property in dispute, one
piece of which is located at Geary and
Webster streets and the other on Pacific
street, near Dupont
Elizabeth Heydenfeldt declares that on
the date on which the plaintiff claims the
lease was made, October %, 1898, she was
the owner in fee simple OF the property.
She says, however, tnat she agreed to a
compromise to avoid litigation Oy paying
the plaintiff $1,000 and SI25 a month dur
ing The plaintiffs life TO secure these
payments the defendant Gains she con-
Neyed TO the plaintiff d lire interest in
improperly.
The defendant further claims that she
lived up to the agreement until Septem-
ber a. 1885, when she ceased to do so be-
cause the plaintiff then repudiated the
compromise and commenced legal pro-
oeeoings.
The action now pending is but one of
the many phases of the famous Heyden-
teldt case, caused by the conflicting
claims OF the plaintiff and defendant in
suits instituted against the former
Judges estate.
They both claim to be the widow of
the late Judge Solomon Heydenfeldt
Elizabeth Heydenfeldt says she is the
widow of the late jurist and claims that
Henrietta Heydenfeldt is in reality Hen
rietta Herbert, a half-sister of the de-
ceased Judge Elizabeth Heydenfeldt
claims she was married to Judge Hey
denfeldt by Chief Justice Hugh c. Muir
ray of the California Supreme Court in
1853, and that owing to cruelty she was
compelled to leave him. She denies that
Henrietta Heydenfeldt was ever married
to the Judge, and that the latter was in
sane when he executed the will which
has caused such a long and bitter con-
test between the two women.
Elizabeth Heydenfeldt in the cross-com-
plant filed yesterday asks that the al
legged lease be adjudged to be a part of
the compromise. invalidated, as she al
leges, by the plaintiff, and that the latter
be compelled to return $17 900 paid her
while the compromise was in force She
also asks that certain transfers of inter-
ests in the Heydenfeldt property made
by the plaintiff to G. H. Mangels and J.
L. Crittenden be declared void

Some of his tactics were perilOusly near

with warning the offender
The ten-rOund go between Welch and
Gilfeather was very even and as pretty
an exhibition as the most exacting ring

The first preliminary. between Bobby
Johnson and Dick Cullen, ended with the
beginning of the first round. Cullen got

Surprised by the suddenness of the at

He waved aside the guards who were fol-

himself with an ak. One of the deputies
who approached the desperate man was
struck on the arm with piece of pipe,
