ORDER OF SALE OF BONDS
SURPRISES JUDGE GAGNoN
Nebraska Jurist Inquiries About the
Value of the oppenheimer
Estate

Superior Judge Gagnon Of Richardson
County Nebraska, has written to the Su =
perior Court of this county asking for
information concerning the estate be-
queathed to Ruth Oppenheimer by Inez
Oppenheimer, her mother, who died in
this city in January, 1901.
Ruth is only years of age, and Judge
Gagnon wants to ascertain how wealthy
she is before fixing the bonds of her
guardian, Isham Reayis.
Ruth's mother left an estate valued at
S23, 600, consisting of United States bonds,
real estate and valuable jewels. She left
the bonds, which are worth Sl0,395, to her
daughter, as well as the jewelry.
Now her guardian wants the bonds sold,
and the fact that Judge Coffey had issued
an order directing that they be sold at
private sale became known to the Nebras-
ka jurist and caused him to commence ar
investigation.
Reavis claims that it is necessary to
sell the bonds to meet expenses, but Judge
Gagnon is of the opinion that other prop
erty should be disposed of first, owing to
the fact that Government bonds are o
safe and good longtime investment.

DISREPUTABLE HOUSES
ARE ORDERED CLOSED
Board of Police Commissioners Di.
reefs Chief Whitman to Clear
Out Bacon Place.

AS a result of two communications filed
last night with the Board of Police Com
missioners, Chief of Police Whitman was
ordered to close the disreputable houses
on Bacon place.
Special Officers James Murphy and Bert
Jackson, who were recently appointed, re-
signed under charges.
Police Officer Patrick ]. Foley was fined
SO for being an hour late reporting for
duty. The charge of abusing conductor
on the Geary-street line preferred against
Officer Robert Lean was continued for
two weeks, although w. Barnett, the
complaining witness, was reported to
have left the State. Commissioners New
hall and Wallace stated they were not
satisfied that the witness had left.
Seventeen saloon-keepers and their bar
keepers were cited to appear and explain
why they cashed checks obtained from
nickel-in-the-slot machines. The men
were arrested during the recent raid or
dered by Chief Whitman, and each one
told his story to the board. Before arriv-
ing at decision in the cases the question
of destroying the machines brought in by
the police as evidence was discussed. 1t
developed that the statute prohibiting the
playing of these machines is explicit,
while the ordinance permits and licenses
the machines AS the statute supersedes
the ordinance. all machines, whether
they pay in coin or trade, will have to go.
The matter, however, viii be referred to
the District Attorney for an opinion.

PREPARES TO DIE
WITHIN A MONTH
Redding Citizen Insists
That His Days Are
Numbered.
Makes All Arrangements for
Funeral and Settles With
Undertaken.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Dec. 10.-Peter Scherer, a
once wealthy pioneer of Redding, has Sc
lected his coffin at a local undertaking
establishment, arranged every detail of
his funeral. estimated the total expense
and deposited a check in bank in favor
Of the undertaken. He declares that he
will die a natural death within month.
Mr.. Scherer is the divorced husband of
Mrs Nellie McChesney Scherer, the
young woman who died in Oakland on
Saturday while under the influence of an
anesthetic, prior to an operation. They
had been separated several years and Mr.
Scherer says that his wife's unexpected
death has little to do with his case. In
1883 Mr.. Scherer's first wife died. In 1892
his youngest son passed away and in 1894
his eldest son, leaving him alone These
bereavements, together with his business
troubles, have brought him to his present
condition.
II have nothing to live for and am
willing TO die, said Mr.. Scherer to-day.
when one is well, has loved ones around
him and has something to work for and
look forward to, life is dear and some
thing TO be fought for. have lost all and
am ready TO die l shall die within a
month
Scherer suffers from lung trouble and
his condition of mind will doubtless has
ten the end. He is one of the best known
men in Shasta County and has handled
extensive business interests. He was in
apparently good health until very re-
