in the management OF the Needles

One OF the most complete as we'll as
unique documents ever presented for
probate In this county is the will OF the
late N. X. Masten OF San Francisco.
After bequeathinR specific sum to each
OF his sons and daughters, the wealthy
man placed bar against any desire ON
the part of adventures or adventuresses
to lay claim OF relationship. He cites
that he 10 widower and has no wife
living. Neither has he any children
other than those enumerated IN the will. /
But he continues towing TO the frequent
custom Of lawyers attempting to break
wills and the habit OF venturesome wo-
men to claim to be the wife of men who
are deceased" he bequeaths to any wo-
man who shall prove to be his lawful |
wife, the sum OF fve dollars; also Eve
dollars TO each and every person other
than his children mentioned, that shall |
prove to be his lawful children. Hefur-
ther valves the bar against allowing his
attorneys or physicians to testify rela-
tive TO any matter pertaining to the will.
Should these safeguards be placed in all
Wills where vast fortunes are at issue,
there would be fewer unknown heirs to
apply for a share Of the eestate.--Phoenix

Sheriff Stout left last night for Yuma,
having In. charge Edward Butts, Jr-
The prisoner was anxious to 60 and was
almost cheerful when he was taken out \
Of his cell into the corridor TO be prepar-
ed for his journey. II had been UNDER
stood that he would be taken away on
Sunday night. 10 that before the M. & p.
train left the platform OF the depot was
thronged with people, many OF whom
had been friends of the prisoner In hap-
pier days, and with many who having
nothing else to do, were drawn thither
by curiosity.
Butt believes that, taking all circum-
into account, he has been sin.
gularly fortunate. Two weeks of his
sentence of one year, dating from June
5 when he was convicted, have already
expired. So only fifty weeks remain
and that Is not long time. Butt in
lends to reduce it to the utmost by good
behavior and within much less than
year, emerge from the prison with an
experience which will make him better
and more useful than he has ever been
since he arrived at the years Of account
ability. 1t is not likely that he will
ever again be subjected 10 the tempta-
lion which caused his downfall.-Phoe-
