SEES A DIFFERENT DECISION
Perry Queenan Thinks He Will "Do"
Parker Next Time.

Writing to the sporting editor of the
Statesman, Perry Queenan states that
he will arrive in Walla Walla, October
2, to begin training for his go with
Kid Parker on the night Of October 10.
Queenan has been training Charlie
Neary at Seattle for the Neary-LOuie
Long fight at Seattle last night, and
as soon as affairs are wound up in re-
gard to the go, will take the long hike
to Walla Walla. Queenan states that
he has been doing considerable work
with Neary and consequently is in
good condition. He expects a different
decision in the next go.
Parker is steadily training for the
fight as the articles stipulate 142
pounds at ringside. AS this weight is
rather low for Parker he is wasting
no time in getting down to FORM in or
der to stand the hard work necessary
to make the weight. The Olympic club
which will handle the match nave made
arrangements for pulling the go off in
ArmOry hall.

present where the fighting game has

Jack Mitchell, the Pendleton light
weight, but the indications are that
Mitchell is too wise to steer up
against the Spokane man. Mullin
states that if he cannot get on with
Mitchell he is willing to go against
Kid Parker or Perry Queenan. A go
with either Of the men would hardly
be satisfactory to Walla Walla sports

COURT DEGREES
DEED IS VALID
Judge Trout Declares That
Trust Created by Herman
Levison Is Still Active

Judge Trout decided yesterday that
the trust deed made by the late Her
man Levison and his wife, Henrietta,
a year before his death in 1896, convey
ing all his property, both real and per-
sonal, to NJ. B. Kellogg, to be held by
him for the benefit of the Levison fam
lily during the lifetime of the makers
of the deed, is a valid deed, and that
the property conveyed therein is not
subject to the supervision of Gustav
Marcus as executor of Levison's will.
The findings were signed yesterday.
The deed in question was made in
August, 1885, and conveyed to Kellogg
the entire holdings of Levison and his
wife. The property decided, which con-
sisted Of realty on Sutter street, near
Kearnyy realty in Nevada, New Jersey
and Germany, and the interest of Levi
son in the California Jewelry Company,
| is estimated to be worth several hum
dred thousand dollars. The deed pro-
vided that Kellogg during the lifetime
Of Levison and his wife should pay
them $40, 900 year, Mrs. Levison to re-
ceive $4,000 and Levison $4,000. 1t also
provided that the trustee should pay
$50, 900 each to Louis o. Levison and
Robert J. Levison, sons Of the de-
ceased. when they became 26 years Of
age, and that upon the death Of both
Of the elder Levisons the trust should
cease and the estate be distributed in
equal shares to the two sons and En-
ma Levison Jonas, daughter.
Levison died year after making the
deed. His death did not affect the trust
deed, for the widow and her children
were satisfied with it and continued
sharing Levison's estate, as the deed
provided they should. 1t was when
Gustav Marcus, as executor Of Levi
sons will, in order to test the validity
Of the document, claimed that the
property should be turned over to him
/ as executor that It was determined
/ that an opinion of the court should
be sought. A suit to quiet title was
commenced, with the result that the
deed has been sustained, and Marcus
as executor has been declared to have
no interest in the property conveyed to
Kellogg as trustee.

Judge rMogan dismissed the case of
battery against Emil Tschnoni, the
Olympic Club athlete whose automo-
bile struck Nicholas Holdback while
that gentleman was watching a wizard
perform at Kearny and California
streets one evening last week. Mr..
Temple declared that he had witness
who would swear that the auto was
carelessly handled, but, alas! the wit
ness would not appear in court unless
he were paid one dollar in advance for
his attendance. Then the Judge said
he would not believe anything sworn
to by such a mercenary witness and
Mr.. Temple waxed very wroth.
