SUIT AGAINST EPPINGERS
DISMISSED BY CONSENT
Action Is Taken Pro Forma Pending
Decision as to Ownership of
Pledged Wheat,

By stipulation yesterday the suit Of
the American National Bank against
H. Wadsworth, receiver of the Ep-
pinger. Bros, was dismissed in the
United States Circuit Court by Judge
Hanford, sitting for Judge Morrow.
The dismissal of the suit of the
American National Bank for $4,000
against the receiver appointed by the
Federal courts for the Eppinger Bros.
led to rumors that the insolVent grain
brokers, who are now under indict-
ment for embezzlement and other fell
onies, were trying to effect a-settle-
ment with their creditors in the hopes
of staving off criminal prosecution.
The dismissal of the suit of the
American National Bank proved to be
but a mere routine legal proceeding.
Various banks brought suit to deter
mine the ownership of the wheat in
the North Pacific Coast Warehouse,
the wheat having been pledged by the
Eppingers to the banks in considera-
ton of loans secured on the fictitious
warehouse receipts.
Pending the determination of the
suits in the Superior Court as to which
bank was entitled to the wheat, the
attorneys for Receiver Wadsworth and
the American National Bank decided
that litigation in the Federal courts
would be useless and it was deemed
best to dismiss the suit in the United
States Circuit Court, which was done

WAS DECEIVED
J. r. Lewis Asks for Revo-

Mrs. WOodward's Guardian
WARD A WEALTHY WOMAN
Petitioner Claims Statements
About Her Residence Were
Known to Be FalsehOods

H. j. Parkison, granddaughter of
Mrs. Sarah woodward, who was re-
Gently appointed her guardian, has
been cited to appear in Department 8
of the Superior Court Friday, January
8, to show cause why his letters of
guardianship should not be revoked.
He is also ordered to bring to court
his aged ward. The citation was is
sued yesterday on complaint of j. r.
Lewis, a lifelong friend of Mrs. Wood
ward and one of the trustees of her
large estate, who, in an affidavit,
charges that Parkison, in order that he
and several other relatives of the aged
woman might benefit themselves finan-
cially, have spirited her away from her
comfortable and peaceful home in the
Santa Clara Valley enticed her to this
city, and by making false statements
to the court concerning her residence,
secured legal control of her person.
According to Lewis affidavit, Mrs.
Woodward was visited by Parkison and
j. r. Hamlet, another relative, at her
cozy and pretty home in Cottage Park,
Santa Clara County, last November.
They pretended, he says, that a grand

her come to this city to spend Thanks
giving with her and by this means pre-
vailed upon Mrs. Woodward to leave
her peaceful abode and come to this
city. A few days thereafter Parkison
filed a petition to be appointed her
guardian, claiming in his petition that
she was a legal resident of San Fran
cisco and that she possessed an estate
that needed better attention than she,
because of her extreme age, could give.
Continuing, Lewis claims that there
was no necessity for any such proceed
ing He says that her estate is under
the care of himself, DR.. Eli McClish
and Jeremiah Letter, and has been
cared for by them for the last two
years, or ever since Mrs. Woodward
decided it to them to hold in trust for
her Her every want is provided for,
says Lewis, by the trustees out of the
income from the property and from an
annuity of 5000 paid her by Henry
French. Upon her death, AYERS Lewis,
by the terms of the trust deed the re-
mainder of her fortune is to go to the
University OF the Pacific.

HIS MARRIAGE
IS A SURPRISE
James A. Brent Makes Public
a Matrimonial Event Which
Was SOlemnized Last April
BRIDE Is FROM CHICAGO
Well-KnOwn Mining Man Care
fully Guards His Secret Until
Wife Is About to Join Him

James A. Brent, the well-known
mining man, who has resided at the
Palace Hotel for several years, gave
the clerks of that hostelry and his
many friends about town a pleasant
surprise yesterday, when he quietly an
nounced that he had been married, and
that Mrs. Brent would arrive from
Chicago to-day. The most interesting
feature of the news is that the mar
riage was celebrated last April, abroad,
and was followed by the usual we'd
ding trip on the Continent, after which
husband and wife parted in Chicago,
while he proceeded on to this city to at
tend to important business matters and
incidentally arrange for the future
home of himself and bride.
Although Brent has been in this city
for several weeks he carefully guarded
his secret until yesterday, when he
found it necessary to make confession
of his matrimonial tie in completing
arrangements for the welcoming Of
Mrs. Brent. About ten months ago the
mining man gave out the information
that he was going abroad for health
and pleasure, and a few weeks later
witnessed his departure for the other
side of the world, whence he frequently
made his presence there known to his
friends here through the medium of the
postal-card fad. 1t is now developed
that one of the pleasures contemplated
by him in the preparations for his for
eign trip was his marriage to hand
some and well-known young woman
of Chioa 90 who with her mot her.
started for Europe about the time he
left San Francisco. They met in Lon
don early in April and their marriage
quickly followed and then began the
tour which finally ended in Chicago,
where, as stated before, Brent left his
wife for a few weeks, in order that
he might transact some business
matters in this city.
Mrs. Brent is being accompanied to
the city by her mother, who will in
the future share the home of her
daughter and son-in-law.

it's annual ball and banquet this year

benefit in the form of a minstrel enter

teers are, rehearsing under the direc-
ton of William Freeman and an inter-
esting performance is anticipated.
