Popular PoIiceman's
Career Is Closed
Quite Suddenly.

Corporal George w. Lake of the
Police Department died at the Mount
Zion Hospital late on Sunday night.
His death came as a shock to members
Of the department and numerous per
sonal friends, for, although it was
known that he was i'll, it was not be-
lieved that death would result. About
a year ago he had an attack Of pneu-
monia and was always complaining of
not feeling just right. He went to
Mount Zion Hospital about two weeks
ago and after his case had been dag
nosed as kidney trouble an operation
was performed from which he did not

SISTER AGAINST SISTER
IN CONTEST OF WILL
Mrs. McTamney Left Estate to One
Daughter and Other Charges
Undue Influence.

Mary McTamuey died the latter part
of October, 1903, leaving an estate
worth more than $4,000 and will
which caused disagreement between
her daughters. Mrs. Plant and Mrs.
Flowers were daughters Of the de-
ceased, but when the mother died 1t
was found that her will left all of her
estate to Mrs. Plant. Mrs. Flowers
alleges that herself. a brother and
another sister were left out of the
testament because of Mrs. Plants ex-
ercise of an undue influence upon her
mother. 1t is set forth that Mother
McTamney was bodily sick and bed
ridden for months and that in that
time Mrs. Plant made her mother be-
lieve that she was the "only real and
good daughter" and that the other
children had refused to visit their
parent in her last sickness. 1t is even
said that Mrs. Plant employed others
to convey the idea that the remain
ing children were unconcerned about
their mothers welfare and thereby
the old lady's mind was poisoned
When the time came for making the
contested WILL it is said that Mrs
Plant told her mother that the testa-
ment which had been drawn for her
signature, divided the estate, share
and share alike, among all of the chill
dren.

Judge Graham yesterday beat a
hasty retreat from his proffered serv-

seph against Johanna Hearne and Jo-
seph was presented with an interloc-
utory decree Of divorce. On the for
mer hearing Of the case Joseph told

planning the details asked the court
how he would like 1t himself. Yes

ney on the grounds of cruelty and de-
sertion. Gibney, it seems, became i'll
and took trip on the advice of his
physician. While he was away Mrs.
Gibney sold his business and furniture
and went on the stage. He knew
| nothing Of the change until he met her
| in Spokane, when she told him that
| she would not live with him again.
A divorce was granted by Judge Heb
| bard to Emma Busk from w. L. Busk
| on cross-complaint. Busk sued on
| the ground of cruelty, charging,
among other things, that his wife had
| thrown a hatchet at him. She made
a counter charge of desertion, which
| he failed to answer and she won the
| decree.
Other divorces were granted thus:

FIGHTS DUEL
WITH ROBBERS
Safe Crackers Return Fire
of Watchman, Who Catches
Them at Their Work
Special Dispatch to The Call.

RIVERSIDE, Feb. 27.-Having de-
tected two safe blowers in the act of
robbing the safe in the office of Small
Brothers warehouse before Daylight
this morning, E. J. Barrett, a night
watchman, engaged in a running pistol
fight with the burglars, the chase ex-
tending nearly a mile.
Barrett heard the explosion which
wrecked the safe and started to in
vestigate. He came upon the men un-
expectedly and seeing his star they
opened fire upon him, but without
effect. AS soon as he could get his
own gun into action Barrett returned
the fire and the burglars fled. First
one and then the other of the burglars
would stop and shoot deliberately at
the officer and although two of their
bullets passed through his clothing he
was not wounded.
Emptying his revolver Barrett re-
loaded and continued the battle. One
of his last shots struck one of the men,,
for he was heard to cry out and this
morning in the willows which line the
river a bundle of bloody rags was
found, showing where some person had
dressed a wound.
The robbers secured about $100 from
the safe. A number Of other burglaries
were committed here last night, sup
posedly by the same men.
