Why a Gold Kills.

At this season of the year coughs and
colds are prevalent because of a lowered vital

pneumonia supervenes. "Even them" says a

case of very old or very young people. The
danger arises when it is complicated by heart
or kidney disease" This is the secret of the
rayages of pneumonia. If the body be strong

TURNER ESTATE
IN THE COURTS
State University Party
to a Three-COrnered
Contest.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

MERGED, Nov. IA case of unusual
interest has been on trial here before
Hon. E. N. Rector, Judge of the Super
ior Court, for several days. In the mat
ter of the estate of William C. Turner,
deceased, formerly a wealthy pioneer of
Merced County, letters of administration
were granted in 1894 to w. w. Gray by
Judge ]. K. Law, then Judge of the Su-
perior Court. Later it appeared that
Judge Law was the largest unsecured
creditor of Turner. He presented his
claim to the administrator whom he DAD
appointed and the administrator allowed
Meanwhile the Regents of the Univer-
sity of California, who held a $780, ,00U
mortgage on lands belonging to Turner,
had commenced suit to foreclose, making

The university Immediately nominated
Edward w. Putnam to apply for letters
of administration on the ground that the
widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Turner and a
daughter of Turner, Mrs. Harriet E.
Breckenridge, followed suit and applied
for letters to themselves.
together Testimony has been introduced
by the petitioners and none was offere
in rebuttal, for the facts were not dis
puted. Judge Law applied for leave to
make an argument, saying he was a
creditor and wished to protect his rights
as such.
The argument on behalf of the univer-
sity was made by Attorney Van Wyck Of
San Francisco. 1t occupied nearly three
days, in the course of which more than
100 decisions on similar cases in other
States were produced and read. It was
conceded that never before in California
had any court been called to pass upon
the validity of letters of administration

DRUNKEN FREAK
IMPERILS LIVES
Intoxicated Man Shuts
Off Air Circulation
in a Mine.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VANCOUVER, B. c., Nov. 1.-THE
crazy act Of a drunken man imperiled
the lives of 400 miners working in the
coal shafts in Nanaimo yesterday Will
liam Young, himself a miner, was going
home after a spree in town, when he
walked into the engine-house at the top
of the new Vancouver Coal Company S
No. 1 shaft. He climbed over two rapid
ly revolving speed belts, and, with the
infinite pains which only a drunken man
would take, shut off the steam from the
engines, which in another part of the build
ing operated an immense fan that causes
air to circulate through the mine. Youn.;
then walked from the place as noiSeless-
ly as he had entered and was seen going
away from the building.
Two minutes later the chief engineer
was called up by the telephone from the
lower level of the mine by frightened
miner, who said that already the men
had become half Suffocated for want Of
air in the pit. 1he engineer at first could
not comprehend what the trouble was,
as the machinery Immediately at hand
appeared to be working in perfect order.
A second message from the mine said
that the men had laid down their tools
and that many were too weak to stand.
but they were too well trained to become
panic stricken and the best of order pre-
vailed.
Just then the engineer found the turned
off steam pipe and 2 minute later the cir
culation of air was restored. Young was
arrested and confessed that he had done
the mischief with a view of closing the
mine but that he did not realize that he
was imperiling human life.

TUCSON, Ariz., Nov. 12.-The haciendas
about Guaymas, which have been in q
constant state of terror for the past
month, are now thoroughly alarmed and
the population is fleeing TO the city for
protection. Yesterday Don Jesus p. Pal

quis- They were riding from Batoma1al
q small place in the YaQui Valley, above

few hundred yards away. Riding back
TO BatOmaCal he gave the alarm and a
few minutes after his arrival a courier
arrived with news that the Indians had
raided EsDeranZa rancho and the occu-
pants had to fee for their lives. A dis
patch was sent 10 Guaymas and General
Torres, who recently arrived from Mexico
City. summoned a troop of cavalry and
started in pursuit of the Indians.
At Santa Maria, a military post, General
Torres was reinforced and the cavalry
secured the country, finding everywhere
trails of Indians. who had been engaged
IN running of large numbers of horses
from ranches in the valley. The Indians
escaped to the Businesses Of Ell CreStOn del
Gallo Mountain and the troops could not
pursue luen INTO lnat stronghold, but
General Torres surrounded the mountain

yons where the Indians might come out

A dispatch printed in FL COrreo de So
nora. from Batomatal, says that the
rancherOs are thoroughly aroused. A
dozen murders have taken place in a few
weeks and hundreds of horses have been
stolen by the YaQuis.
When news of his death reached the
widow of Don Palmas she Immediately
mounted her horse ard went after the

he is known there. led the battle which
was waged against the YaQuis a year ago.
when hundreds of Indians were killed and
many Mexican soldiers met death He
succeeded in driving the redskins back

war was supposed to have ended and
peace would reign forever But the Va
quis returned to their valley only to pre-
pare for another war and from their sue
cess in obtaining horses and provisions
II would seem that they are prepared TO
fight for many months. They are well
mounted and armed and know the hiding

where they can fight to the best advant-
age. The war promises TO be a bloody
one.
