SETTLES .CONTEs
FOR ESTATE.

At last the contest for the property
left by Fabrizio Nigro is practically
settled. The Supreme Court yesterday
dismissed the motion on the part OF his
nephews and nieces for an appeal. on
the ground that there is widow living.
Nigro owned the old Poodle Dog Res
taurant and some other San Francisco
property. He died intestate, and legal
battle was begun for his property. At
the time of his death he had neither
father, mother, sister nor brother.
The nephews and nieces believed they
had a legal right to a portion of the
property. and in the contest for it
they appealed from the decree provid-
ing for the partial distribution of the
property. The motion to dismiss the
appeal was based upon the ground that
the appellants. having no interest in
the estate, were not entitled to appeal.
The Supreme Court indorsed this opin-
ion.
The case was commenced in March
and was appealed to the Supreme Court
from Alameda County.

WALL FALLS UPON
FIRE FIGHTERS.

LOS ANGELES, Sept. 1e-Five fire.
men narrowly escaped death today at
a fire which destroyed four dwellings
at Wall and Fifth streets. Four men,
two of whom were standing on ladders
while fighting the flames, were carried
down by the walls of cottage fall
ing out.
hundred men from the big crowd
that watched the fire sprang to the
rescue and lifted the burning side of
the house long enough for the firemen
to drag themselves out. Aside from
slight burns and bruises they were
uninjured and returned to their work
of lighting the blaze.
A few minutes later Lieutenant
Young of the Fire Department was
struck from ladder by falling parts
of the building. He barely escaped
being buried in the burning debris

A Ii property-owners are
Il required by law to main
"A - tain a passable and safe
sidewalk in front of their prem
ises. Such disaster as befell
this city compels lenity in the
enforcement of this law for a
reasonable time. That time, in
this city, expired long ago. For
the last two months there has
been no reason warranting the
excuse of any property-owner in
San Francisco from maintaining
the sidewalks in accordance with
law. There would even now be
no disposition to enforce the let
ter of the law in all cases if
property-owners complied with
its spirit in maintaining an open.
safe and sufficiently wide spas
sage in front of his premises.
That so little is done to restore
the sidewalks is due, in the first
place, to property who
habitually sneak out of obliga-
cations to the public so far as
they can do SO, and secondly to
the utterly ineffectiveness of our
municipal authorities. We do
not suppose any property-owner
has bribed the Board of Public
Works to let him off from build
ing sidewalks. He has not had
TO. He could safely rely on its
utter inefficiency If the city
chooses to elect lightweight men
to Office it must expect the
natural consequences. Neverthe-
less, we suppose that proceed
ings can be initiated on the
complaint of citizens. AS no in
dividual likes to- move in such a
matter, we commend the sub
ject to the Dowtown Property
Owners Association. There is
one thing which ought to jog
them all. There is no doubt that
both property-owners and mem
bers of the Board of Works are
liable for any damages result
ing from their neglect in this
matter.
