COURT QUIETS
THEIR CLAMOR
Kerrigan Dissipates Hopes
of Men That Would Care
for Aged Juana Marshall
DENIES ALL PETITIONS
Names Union Trust Company
Guardian of the Old Wo-
mans Person and Estate

After brief hearing yesterday after
noon Judge Kerrigan decided that none
OF the several applicants for letters OF
guardianship over the person and es-
tate Of aged Juana Marshall showed as
great an interest in the personal well
fare as they did the financial welfare Of
the old woman. As a result, the court
rejected all Of the petitions and
named the Union Trust Company TO
care for the aged woman and her es-
tate
Mrs. Marshall came into court lean
ing upon the arm Of Robert Donahue,
who has resided with her since he was
a lad. 1t IS apparent that her remain
ing days are not many and that time
has dulled her intellect Her nephew.
Richard d. Marshall, whose petition
for letters of guardianship was on hear
ing. was present with Attorney Tread
well and two assistant counsel Oppos-
ing him was William j. Gray, backed
by Attorneys William d. Easton, Alex
ander Campbell and II. L. Bradford.
John Arzave was also represented by
counsel, as were others who have ex-
pressed great solicitude for Mrs. Mar
shall's welfare.
After listening to the wrangling OF
these opposing forces for some time,
Judge Kerrigan impatiently ordered
them to cease their quibbling and di-
rected that Mrs Marshall be sworn-
She could not remember her age or
how long she has been in San Francisco,
though she said she came here before
there were any houses. She said. how
ever, that she wanted power OF attor-
ney given to Arzave revoked. She de-
MED that her nephew had caused her to
sign a will or deeds, but admitted that
she had given Donohue $1,000 with
which to go into business. She denied
that DR.. de Travino had ever been her
physician, but said he frequently called
upon her and she had given him little
presents Of money.
Marshall called Chief Spillane and
Adolph Uhl to prove that his reputa-
ton was good, but Judge Kerrigan did
not care to express any opinion as to
the merits of the claims Of the contest
ants and avoided the necessity by ap-
pointing the Union Trust Company her
guardian. The trust company will go
to work Immediately to determine just
what papers Mrs. Marshall has signed
during the last few weeks. II she has
been taken advantage Of IL will file
action to protect her interests.

CAIIFoRNIA HOLDINGS.


Judge Coffey holds differently, how
ever. He first points to the fact that
Alexander Dunsmuir died in New
York on April 26, 1900. and in his tes-
lament stated that the value of his
holdings in California amounted to
S154,000. He described himself as a
resident of California, which fact is
noted by Judge Coffey, and set forth
that his widow. Josephine D. Duns-
muir, was living at San Leandro and
his mother and brother at Victoria. In
support of his findings and conclusions
of law Judge Coffey goes on to say:
1t appears that the testator was domiciled
here instead Of abroad at the time of his
death, and in such cases there should have
been original probate in the domiciliary form,
which is the principal. primary. original or
chief administration. because the laws OF the
domciie govern the distribution of the per-
so.ial property, while that granted IN any
other country is ancilIary or auxiliary 1t is
true tie descriptive words not found in
our statutes. but the principles are there with
local limitations.
Attorneys for James Dunsmuir argued that
although the papers said h was resident OF
California that did not mean he was ,''don1i-
ciled'' mere. This distinction although ingeni-
ously elaborated by counsel for prOponent, is
not tsnable under our statutes.
II should appear upon the case of the record
that the formalties prescribed by the code have
requisite that IL shall be shown. that the will
executed under some jurisdiction and un-
der some law, either the law OF the place where
the will was Dropounded or the law of Cali
fornia; but this record is silent upon that in
dispensable point and imparts no information
which would authorize an inference or Indulge
a presumption that the requirements of the
statute were fulfilled. even If fnferences or
presumptions were permissible in the premises.
Attorneys for James Dunsmuir
sought to take advantage of the section
of the statutes providing for the pro
bate of foreign Wills urging that no
/ examination could be made Of the au-
thenticated documents presented Re-
! garding this point Judge Coffey said

which sustain the principle OF this motion and
I in all. where t1e circumstances are analogous
IL has been declared that the statute relating
TO probate of foreign wills has no reference to

Now let us see first of all what
were the statements of those with her
in her last moments, and then we will
look at the characteristic symptoms of
strychnine poisoning. The following
are the statements sworn to before the
Coroner:
Miss Berner said in speaking of
Mrs. Stanford: She said, I cannot
take it, my jaws are set (referring to
the hot water). So ! rubbed her
cheeks, making her face pink
"2 The doctor came in and pre-
pared some medicine. for short time
the rigidity of Mrs Stanford's muscles
relaxed
"3. Then she remarked to the doc
tor, Another spasm is coming on
az. "A violent spasm came on from
which she did not recover.
Miss Hunt stated, speaking of Mrs
Stanford: She said, She had had a fiji
which had thrown her out of bed
"Then the following dialogue took
place between the Coroner and Miss
Hunt:
.aThe Coroner-Did Mrs Stanford
have another sDasm?
Miss Hunt-Yes.
1.-The Coroner-How long did it last
if you know?
Miss Hunt don't know how long
ii lasted.
"The Coroner-Did Mrs. Stanford
come out of that spasm?
Miss Hunt--No, she did not come
out of that spasm.

The proceedings set aside yesterday
by Judge Coffey related to the admit
tance to probate of copy of the will
of the deceased. The only evidence be-
fore him, when the order admitting
the copy was made, that the original
had been duly probated by the Victo-
ria court, was the judgment roll of the
proceedings. His finding of yesterday
is to the effect that in view of devel-
opments the order admitting the copy
was without authority of law, as the
court was without jurisdiction.

show that the will was duly admitted
to probate in Victoria in what is
known there as common FORM" dis

Wire Chicken-Catcher,

A chicken-catcher is needed on
many farms which can be made from
No. wire. Five feet of wire will
be long enough. Bend loop at one
end for a handle, with a shepherds
crook at the other end, bending the
crook small enough, Of course, to hook
around the leg of chicken while it is
eating. If the hook is made the least
bit faring, but closed up about half
inch, 1t will hold the chicken securely
by the foot. This is the best way to
catch a chicken when wanted on short
notice Many farmers train a dog to
catch chickens, but this causes a COM
motion among the fowls and is one
way to make them wild. Uneasy.
frightened fowls are not thrifty, like
quiet, cOntented birds.

Posts for Wire Fences.

There is probably greater mileage
of wire fence in Texas than any other
three States, and Texas people ought,
therefore, to be the best judges of how
to make them permanent. About
strain posts" a Texas stockman in
Farm and Ranch says:
Numerous plans have been given for
making secure corner posts for wire
fences. l have tried many plans, and
have found every plan to make a
corner post bear the strain Of long
fence to be failure. The strain con-
tinues without intermission, and final
ly the corner post gives way. With
short fences the difficulty is not SO
great. l have built some hundreds
of miles of wire fencing. My plan
now is to use what / call strain
post, instead Of putting the strain on
the corner post. l put down good
corner post; and at least twenty
feet from this put down another good
post, large and deep into the ground.

STRAIN POST
CORNER POST

At the ground, I run wires to the
top Of the strain post, and stretch
these wires tight. This puts most of
the strain on the strain post, and all
the strain placed on the corner post
comes at its bottom. Again, the
strain post is not put into the ground
straight, but leans to the corner The
effect Of this is that the strain tends
to force 1t deeper into the ground, in
stead Of drawing it out. 1t will be
found easier to put in good corner
post and two strain posts than to put
in one corner post in the way often
directed. l show the plan in sketch
sent herewith. 1t will be best first
to stretch the wires around the strain
post, making them secure to it, and
then to complete the fence by building
a short fence at the corner. OF course,
such care is not needed for short lines
of fencing.
