BITTER FIGHT
FOR BIG ESTATE
Fresno Is Scene of Legal
Battle Being Waged for
Control of Dead Mans Coin
ARGUMENTS ARE HEARD
Administrators of Three
Counties Claim Right to
Handle Legacy of a Miser
Special Dispatch to The CAN.


FRESNO, Oct. Pa scramble over
dead mans bones" as Frank H
Gould, one OF the attorneys in the
case. termed it, was in progress all
day before Superior Judge Church
The curt heard a notion TO set aside
the letters of administration issued to
Public Administrator R. q. Chitten-
den of Fresno in the 100000 estate OF
JohE, Davis. The estate was mainly
derived from Samuel Davis, an &C.
centric millionaire of San Francisco,
who died last September The Admin
istrators of three counties-Tulare,
San Francisco and Fresno-are con-

The case was opened by Manson F.
Mccormick, assisted by Everts & Ew-
ing of Fresno. Truman & Oliver and
Bishop, Wheeler & Hoef1er of San
Francisco. Frank H. Gould and E O..
Miller of Visalia represent the Admin
istrator of TuIare County. Gould's con-
tention is that the TuIare County Ad-
rninistrator is entitled to the letters
because his application was filed three
0ays before Chfttenden's; but Chit

absence of proof TO the contrary the
letters issued are good
After denying several attempts to
delay the matter till the TuIare County
court and the probate court Of New
York could be heard from, Judge
Church went ON with the case Rix
and Ewing argued that Gould had no
standing in court, being shut out
by his failure to protest The court re-
served a ruling on this question
After lengthy arguments on each
side the court reserved his Judgment,
intimating, however, that he would
decide in favor Of Chittenden-

New York World.

New York World.
Wren the congressional train that
left Cleveland after the funeral of Sen
ator Hanna was pulling out four rough
~ dressed men got on and went at once
to the dining car and sat down and or
dered everything there was. Nobody
knew who they were, and some joker
started the story that they were ban
dts who intended to hold up senators
and representatives in the night when
the train got into the country.
There was a hurried consultation. 1t
was found there was not a revolver or
frcarn Of any kind on the train: Final
Il Assistant Sergeant-at-A Arms Layton
asked the men who they. were and what
they wanted. They said they were de-
teetives who came out with J. Pierpont
Morgan and missed their train. One
of the rorters on the train who came
out with the Morgan party said the men
had not been with Morgan.
CONSERVATION was increasing at 9
rapid rate until some level-headed
statesman asked why the conductor did
not stop the. train and put them off,,
This seemed such good plan that
the train was stopped at Alliance anc
the men got off.
- "Great scottl,,' said Senator Nc
Creary of Kentucky, "think of train
load Of statesmen without pistol. Why
when [ first came to congress, eighteen
years ago, plenty Of men carried pts
tolls, and knives too.'
