DISPOSITION OF ESTATE.
It Hinges on Which Was the flrS'
to Die.

Go, Francisco. Aug 14.-Mr. and Mrs.
c-horlas Fair left San Francisco IN the
latter part OF May last for trip 10 hu-
zone charles Fair was the son OF the
late Senator Fair and was one OF the
heirs TO the immense estate OF the ld'e
senator Fair. 1t is peculiar that the son
~ the late John w. Mackay, one OF SEN
ato. FAIRS mariners, also was killed near
paris a few years ago by being thrown
from a horse. 80
When informed of the tragic death OF
his brother-in-law and his WIFE TINS even
ing Hermann Oelrichs said: Il am terribly
shocked but not surprised. sdlu oii'y
q few DAYS ago that if Charles persisted
in CARRYING on his experiments along this
line the result would be fatal sooner or
later. [ have warned him repeatedly but
he always laughed and said there was no
danger.
'In a letter received last week MI
Fair said he intended sailing for the Unit
ed States the 18th of this month.
.'Mr. Fair went to Europe to see what
improvements had been made during the
last year or two in automobiles.
He had purchased a new one he said
that could sustain a speed of 80 miles an
hour for several hours. 1t was built along
radically new lines and would be one OF
the first machines or lJS CLASS W NC III
ported into the United States.
Charles Fair was born in Virginia City,
New. on April 81. 1861 and was conse-
ouently 35 years of age. He was greatly
interested in photography and construct
ed one of the largest cameras ever built
in the United States.
Mr.. Fairs lawyer, Mr. Haggerty, says
the death of Charles Fair will not upset
the present arrangements for the man
agement of the Fair estate. The property
is now managed by Hermann Oelrichs.
Under this arrangement Charles Fair
decided certain property to his sisters.
There is now much speculation as to
what will become of Charles Fairs share
On this point Mr.. Haggerty says: Under
the laws of California, when couple are
victims of a common calamity and both
are between 16 and 20 years of age and
there il no evidence as to which died first,
the man is presumed to have lived the
longer.
I'm such a case all the property would
go to Mr.. Fairs relatives, his sisters On
the other hand if there is evidence to
show that Mrs. Fair lived longer than
Charles Fair, her relatives in the East
would inherit the property involved"
Mr.. Haggerty will not discuss the mat
ter of the will. From other sources 1t is
which is now supposed TO be locked up in
his safe here in San Francisco.
So little is known here of Mrs Fair s
relatives that Mr. Haggerty says he
does not know where her heirs reside.

including the steering gear.
In Last Throes of Death.
When the automobile turned over. the
wife of the gate-keeper says she saw
Mr. and Mrs. Fair thrown high in the air
and fall with a heavy thud to the
ground. The chauffeur who was sitting

for help The gate-keeper's wife rushed
