OOLBEER WILL UPHELD.
Second Contest Met the Same Fate as
the First.

San Francisco, Nov. S.-Judge Coffee to-
dav rendered his decision in the Dolbeer
will contest. upholding the will that left
the bulk of the estate to Eta Marian
Warren, the close friend and companion
of Bertha DOlbeer. The contest was
brought by Horatio Schander of Sacra-

ceived adverse decisions in both the SUI
perior and supreme courts, having ap-
peaIed to the latter. The suit decided to-
day alleged insanity and undue influence.
A third contest brought by the heirs Cf
Adolph Schander on similar grounds is
pending and will be submitted TO Judge
Coffee for decision On the evidence taken
