Our Coffee Department
August's Airship.

Mr. Kunnecke's "airship" was
given practical last Sunday after
noon. The exhibition occurred at
August's place in the north end of
town, only a few (uninvited) being
aware of the interesting event, so
the attendance was quite limited.
According to the testimony of
those on the ground (from which
August was later picked up) the
ship" took the gate receipts, gate
hinges and all; likewise goodly
share of the fence to which the gate
was formerly hung. Strange to
relate, all the soaring anyone knows
anything about was done by Au-
gust. He didn't seem to be able to
stay in the air very long. When
he came down he did his best to
alight as gracefully as a meadow
lark-aiming for the upper strand
of the wire fence. He struck it all
right-but didn't stop there. He
seemed to banker for all the wire
he could get, and got all there was
grabbed it with his face, hands and
feet. His looks prove the accuracy
of this statement.
When MIR. Kunnecke boarded
the "boat," it suddenly reared up
on it's hind legs-it looked a mile
highland when the other end OF
the craft came down SO did the
mahager-down and out.
Those who saw the performance
are ready to pay big money when
it is repeated, which will be as soon
as the navigator RECEIVERS.
He has named the vessel "Bron-
cho No. 2" being 2 year old.

ss e7s SUPREME COURT
Decides Harris Case in
Favor of Coats Heirs.

The supreme court on the 18th
decided the now rather noted Har-
ris estate case. The opinion is in
favor of the Coats heirs-Dick
Coats and Mrs. AL. Loveridge.
II appears that when Levi Harris
married the widow Coats she was
possessed of considerable property.
When Levi Harris died he willed
all of his estate to the widow dur
ing life and at her death to his son,
Alvin M. Harris. better known as
Ally.
Shortly after Mr.. Harris death
the widow and son entered into
contracts by which the son Alvin
should get his share at once and
his mother should also get certain
part of the property to her own
use.
The son took all the real estate
and such peesonal property as was
used on the ranch; the mother took
the money, etc.
The estate was then closed. The
court ordered the property distrib-
uted to the widow during her life
and on her death to Alvin Harris.
However, Ally kept the ranch and
his mother kept the money until
her death, about two years after
the death Of her husband.
Ally was appointed administra-
tor of her estate and in due time
asked the probate court of Owyhee
county to distribute the property to
himself and the Coats heirs, they
being the children by former mar
riage.
At this time Ally was represented
by Mr.. w. c. Howie of this city,
who was discharged, and Messrs.
Nugent & Nugent of Silver City re-
tained.
At the time set for the hearing of
the petition for distribution Ally
withdrew the petition and admins
tered on the estate and in about
one year thereafter petitioned the
same court to give him all of the
property, leaving out the Coats
heirs, who knew nothing of this un-
til an account appeared in a Silver
City paper to the effect that Ally had
received the whole estate. They at
once employed Mr.. E. NJ. Wolfe to
secure their rights.
The case has been tN ice in the
supreme court and each time de-
cided in favor of the Goats heirs.
The first time it was taken up by
the Coats heirs and it was held
that if they were finally given an
interest in the estate, matter
which was not then before the
court, Ally should pay them inter .
est at the rate of 7 per cent on all
moneys in his hands from the time
he first asked the probate court to
distribute the property to himself
and the Coats heirs and that he
should pay all costs accrued after
that date.
The present appeal was taken by
Ally, as the lower court decided
against him in favor of the Coats
heirs. The supreme court sustains
the judgment of the lower court and
leaves nothing further to litigate
There were two questions in the
case, as appears from the opinion
One was whether Ally could trans
fer to his mother his interest in the
fathers estate and which was not
yet in his possession. The court
held that he could transfer and that
he did.
The other question was whether
the decree of distribution in the
Levy Harris estate concluded the
Coats heirs, because it gave the
property to the widow for life and
then to Ally. The court held tha'
it did not have any effect on The
contract between Ally and hi'
mother.
The estate amounts to abou
$4,000.
