HARRY GREGORY
CHARGES FRAUD
Seeks to Prevent Dis
tribution of Uncle's
Estate.
Says Henry Campbell Is Not
Entitled to Represent
Heir.

Harry Gregory Of Wayne County, Mich
igan, applied yesterday to the Superior
Court of this city and county for a stay
of the distribution of the estate of his un-
Gle, George d. Gregory, who died in this
city in April, 1899, leaving an estate valued
at $I4, $685. consisting of property at North
Beach and in the Western Addition $5S92
in bank and a number of promissory
notes.
The petitioner claims he has learned
that Henry Campbell. his brother-in-law,
has been collecting the share Of the Greg
ory estate which was coming to the father
of the petitioner and that Campbell
claimed such right by virtue of pretend
ed conveyance.
The petitioner says that IL his father,
James Gregory, who is entitled to one
eighth of the estate, executed such an in
strument he did so before he knew of the
extent of his brothers estate. The petit
ttcner therefore asks that all further pro-
ceedings be stayed until his right as the
heir of his father James Gregory be
passed upon. The records of the Superior
Court show that Edwin o. Tucker was
appointed special administrator of the
Gregory estate in April 1S99 and that at
least two payments, one for $500, the other
for $50, were made to Henry Campbell on
account Of the interest of James Gregory,
father of the petitioner. The estate was
handled by Judge Coffey, who signed two
orders directing the partial distribution of
the estate, and who passed upon all the
claims presented against the estate. Greg
orY, in his petition, alleges that if Camp
bell possessed any document giving MIN
the right to assume charge Of james
GIegory's share of the estate that it was
obtained by fraud and that he has good
and sufficient reasons for claiming that
10 such conveyance was ever made.

GRAPE-NUTS.
MISCHIEF MAKER.
A Surprise in Brooklyn.

An adults food that can save a baby
proves itself to be nourishing and easily
digested and good for big and little folks
A Brooklyn man says: when baby was
about eleven mcnths old he began to grow
thin and pale. This was at first attribut-
ed TO the heat and the fact that his
teeth were coming, but, in reality, the
poor little thing was starving, his
'Inother's milk not being sufficient nour-
9shment.
zone day after he had cried bitterly for
an hour, I suggested that my wife try
him on Grape-Nuts She soaked two
teaspoonfuls in a saucer with a kttle
sugar and warm milk. This baby ate so
ravenousIy that she fixed a second which
he likewise finished. 1t was not many
DAYS before he forgot all about being
nursed and has since lived almost ex-
clusively on Grape-Nuts- To-day the boy
Is strong and robust and as cute mis-
chief maker as a 13-months-old baby is
expected TO be.
1--WE have put before him other foods,
but he will have none Of them, evidently
preferring to stick to that which did him
so much good in his time of need-his
old friend Grape-Nuts.
Use this letter any way you wish, for
my wife and i can never praise Grape
Nuts enough after the brightness it has
brought 10 our household. These state
ments can be verified by any one who
wishes to make a visit to our home"

I'd, but experience with thousands Of
n bies shows ii to be among the best, if
not entirely the best in use. Being a
scientific preparation Of natures grains,
Il is equally effective as body and brain

November a Light Month.


G. II. Umbsen & Co.. in their Real Es-
tate Record, say of the transactions of
the last month:
November counts among the light months of
This chiefly owing to investors holding
back in the election period and for some days
following the announcement Of the success of
and three members of the new Board of Su-
pervisors. At first there was a feeling OF un-
certainty and then one of dstrust but these
soon passed after the reassuTing declarations
OF the incoming Mayor and a calm review or
the municipal situation. The latter half of
the past month developed some activity and
IL more were not done, ii was due as much to
the disincination OF holders of business and
emi-business properties TO accept offers as for
buyers TO make them. However, some of the
best prices ever paid for these classes of real
estate in San Francisco were received in No
vember such as the $4,000 front foot given
by the Union Trust Company for the premises
on Montgomery street adjoining its bank build
ing and figures given for Market street prop
critics. The prices paid for most other pieces
of realty in general above those which
have heretofore prevailed. Little has been do
ing on the eastern end of Mission and adjoin-
ing and cross streets as land there Is highly
held but IL is known that offers have been
made far in advance Of those of the earlier
part Of the year. while the disposition to pur-
chase south OF Market street and west of Third
Is making itself more and more apparent. Ex-
cept in a few of the outlying districts values
are advancing with the Indication Of maintain
ing their forward movement.

countless tons OF snow. A patriotic
Scotchman rears the thistle that Is his
national emblem, and sows the whole
land with stubborn weeds. 1t is Just
the same in eur physical beings. The
greatest diseases begin with the most
trivial causes. The commonest thing
in the world Is cough. Yet from =

KOHALA TRUSTEES
PUT ON THE RACK
(From Thursdays daily.)

A MILD sensation was sprung at
~ last nights session of the dioce-
san synod of the Anglican church
when his lordship Bishop Alfred Willis
accused the trustees of st. Augustine's
Chapel, Kohala, Hawaii, of "surrep-
titiously' deciding to themselves the
property formerly owned by Robert
Wallace, and acquired by the chapel
trustees by donations of the parish
toner's of the district. The bishop al
legged that this act was reprehensible
ola the Part of the trustees, as they
should have vested the property in the
trustees of the Anglican church In Ha-
wall. The bishops startling statements
concerning members of his own church
were precipitated by motion OF Syn
odsman Tesla which called for the APP
pointment of committee to investi-
gate the addendum of the report of the
synod trustees read at the first session
on Monday. This addendum contain
! ed a brief account of the transaction
referred to, and alluded to an infringe-
ment upon the rights of the trustees
OF the Anglican church. The bishop
| continued his attack on the methods
of the Kohala church trustees by stat
ing that even after he had been asked
! for advice as to the manner in which
| the property should be acquired. the
| trustees had not carried out his In
structions, and had not even mention
ed the matter until he had accidentally
discovered the transactions in copies OF
the deeds. Mr.. George Davies, the syn
cd representative of the Kohala chap
el read a statement he had prepared
upon the reasons why the property had
been so acquired. which was also sub
Stimulated by certified letter from a
majority of the trustees. Another
sensation was sprung when Testa's

LIFE ON THE MULE LINE.
Old Men Threatened for Putting
Fare In the Box.

Two old men, natives, boarded one
of Pains arks on the King street line
last evening in the downtown district
one OF them went to the forward part
Of the car where the antiquated fare
box is TO be found, over which is the
legend. Passengers are requested to
pay their fare upon entering the car"
The old man, following the ancient Gus
tom of the tram line, deposited ten
cents In the box In payment for him
self and companion. y big Portuguese
who has risen from the humble oCCu-
patton Of a driver of dccrepit ark mules
to the dignity Of a collector of fares
between the Oahu Railway depot ana
Thomas Square, Immediately Mustered
up and shaking his hand in the old
mans face demanded why he put his
fare in the box.
Why didn't you pay your fare to
NEEDN'T you know better than to put
your money in the box when the CON
ductor is on board?" ne shouted.
The conductor continued his bullying
until a passenger jumped to his feet and
abruptly told the conductor If the lat
tn. had talked to him in that manner
he would close up one or both of mis-
eyes. The conductor subsidized and shut
down the lid over the fare-boX which
then revealed another legend, PLEASE
pay at the other end"
At that moment big Swapping, la
borer, evidently carpenter, stepped
into the ear, and walking up to the
box just closed, lifted the lid, deposit
ed his nickel in the slot, closed the
lid again and took a seat. The con
ductor was apparently busy just then
in counting change and adjusting the
rear brake.
