HOUSE DEMOLISHED
BY FALLING TREE
Occupants of Residence Have
Narrow Escape From
Serious Injury.

REDDING, April 4.-The inability of
Mrs. Mary F'rickey and her son Edwin
and Miss Nita Cunningham to unlock the
door of the Frickey house. near Shingle-
town. yesterday saved them from being
crushed to death by a huge yellow pine
tree that was twisted off by the wind and
sent crashing through the roof of the
house over their heads. They crouched in
a corner and thereby were uninjured The
tree fell directly across a bed that few
seconds before was occupied by Miss Nita
Cunningham.
Miss Cunningham had just arisen and.
fortunately, saw the tree begin to fall
She screamed to the other occupants of
the house, and all started to the door in
the hope of escaping. They found the
door locked, and try as they might in the
short time at their disposal they could
not get out. They ran into corner of
the house just as the tree crashed through
the roof. The tree fell directly over the
doorway, and would certainly have killed
the inmates had they been able to open
the door. The bed on which Miss Cum
ningham had been reclining was smashed
into kindling wood and the house is be-
yond repair.

LEGAL VICTORY
Won BY RUFF
Attempt of Montana Rela-
tives to Contest the Dele
traz Will Is Defeated
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HELENA, Mont, April A decision
of interest to heirs and administrators
of estates was rendered by the Supreme
Court today, whereby San Francisco
lawyer gains an important victory over
d Montana woman. The question came
up on application for writ of prohi-
bition against Judge Leslie who sought
to adjudicate will executed and pro-
bated in California.
The will was drawn by G. F. Deletraz,
a wealthy resident of Choteau County,
who died in San Francisco. 1t was
probated in San Francisco and A. Ruef
was named executor, and letters testa-
mentary were issued to him by the Su-
preme Court of San Francisco. The
will was later submitted in the District
Court of Choteau County and de-
cree was given admitting it to probate.
Some time after the proceeding, Mrs.
c. N Pray and other beneficiaries of
the estate and one Mossholder, who also
possessed a will of the deceased, filed
notice of contest of the Ruef will
To this proceeding Ruef demurred on
the ground that the District Court of
Choteau County had no jurisdiction to
hear such contests. The demurrer was
overruled and the court proceeded to
try the case, when writ of prohibition
was requested of the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court says the question
for consideration is: May a foreign
will, after it has been admitted to pro-
pate i1r this State be contested in the
courts of this State upon the ground
that the testator. at the time of max
ing such will, was not of sound, dispos-
ing mind or was acting under duress,
fraud or undue influence"
The opinion says: We think that the
questions of the testamentary capacity
of the testator and his freedom from
duress, fraud, Misrepresentation or un-
due influence when executing the Ruef
will are foreclosed by the decree of the
California court and that the District
Court of Choteau County Is without
jurisdiction to inquire into them. The
motion to quash the alternative writ
and dismiss The proceedings is ovet :
ruled. 1t is ordered that the peremp-
tory writ of prohibition be issued ac-
cording to the prayer of the petitioner"
