a Fast Train in
Colorado.
Officers Find Him Unipjured
and He Soon Escapes

Special Dispatch to The Call.


DENVER, Oct. PA soldier fresh from
the Philippines, half delirious with
wounds, believing that hunters were

not seriously hurt, His wounds were
dressed and he was sent on to Colorado
Springs, Colo, where he arrived yester-
day and again disappeared.
The soldier is Albert Sidney of New
York.. who was shot in the head while
in a skirmish with Filipihos and invalide1
home. The bullet is still in his head. He
was in the Preside Hospital in San Fran
cisco for several weeks, but was dis
charged as cured last week and received
a ticket to his home.
AT Newcastle four hunters boarded the
Colorado Midland train and walked back
into the smoker carrying their guns.
Sidney sprang up. ''Filipinos! he
shrieked, and turning dashed down the
aisle. Before his companions could reach
him he had flung open the door and
going at high speed.
His comrades saw Sidney land between
the rails lie for a moment as if stunne /,
then stagger away into the woods beside
the track. They notified the police in
Newcastle, who found him and sent him
on two days afterwards. The police OF
Colorado Springs are now hunting for
him.

FISHERMEN MUST GET
OFF THE RESERVATION
Native Sons Make the First Move
Toward Establishing Park in
Monterev.

MONTEREY, Oct. 25.-Considerable ex-
citement has been caused among the Mon
terey fishermen by the serving of formal
notice to vacate the Custom-house reser-
walton and to remove therefrom the nu-
merous buildings in which they keep their
nets. lines, oars and other apparatus. The
notice, which was served by the local
Constable, was issued by Henry Lund-
stedt, grand secretary of the Native Sons
of the Golden West.
The Native Sons have obtained a lease
from the Government of the old Custom
house and reservation, and with the ap-
preparation Of $4,000 made by the last Leg
islature. which becomes available the first
of the year, ii is their intention to reno
vate and restore the building and to make
a water front park on the reservation. 1t
is to make room for this park that the
fishermen's houses, about twenty in num-
Der, are to be moved.
The fishermen are undecided as to what
steps to pursue. Many are belligerent
and declare that they will not move and
will resist eviction, and they are already
forming a defense association. The notice
to vacate gives them until the 18th of No
Yember to do their moving.

WILLIAM n. HOWARD'S
WILL GOES ON RECORD
Widow Is Dissatisfied With Bequess
in Her Favor and May
Contest


REDWOOD CITY. Oct. 25-The will OF
William H. Howard, together with a
petition for the probate thereof, was FLED
in the Superior Court to-day by the
executors, Edward w. Howard and F. M.
Pickering. The will is a holograp phic
one, having been written, dated ani
signed by the testator himself. The bulk
of the estate Is left to the five children,
the widow coming in for only one-sixth of
certain personal property specifically
mentioned.
After appointing Edward w. Howard
will provides that they shall act withou-
bonds and full power is given them to
sell, mortgage or lease any or all of the
real property, without any order of court
and upon such terms as to them may
seem best.
Deceased then bequeaths to his wife
Anna d. Howard, and his five children
equally, share and share alike, all hi-
personal effects, household effects. furni-
ture, silver and plated ware, books, pic
lures, carriages and harness. He devises
all of the residue of his estate to his five
children-Gertrude, William Edward
Frances and Kenneth.
The petition for the probate of the will
states that William H. Howard died on
the 18th day of October, 1901 leaving real
estate, the probable value of which eX-
ceeds 1000, and personal property COM
prising horses, cattle, hogs, etc, exceed
ing in value the sum of $4,000.
From remarks made in court yesterday
upon the application of Edward w. How
ard for special letters of administration
it is evident that the widow is dissatisfied
with the terms of the will and that a
contest will probably develop.
