UNUSUALCASE
COMES TO
LIGHT

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct pa suit
for specific performance of an unusual
contract. by which the. firm. of Jacoby
Brothers of Los Angeles bound itself
eleven years ago to support S. Davis
and his wife until death claimed them
both, was filed today in the county
clerks office.
The complaint filed today sets forth
that in 1895 Mr.. and Mrs. Davis ad-
vanced the firm of Jacoby Brothers
the sum of $500, comprising the saw
ings of their lifetime. 1t was because
the pair were then rapidly growing old
and wished to free themselves from
care that the contract was entered into
In return for this it is alleged that
Jacoby Brothers agreed to pay $50 per
month for the support of the couple
until one of them died, and then $40
per month to the remaining one for life
and also to pay the burial expenses
and erect monument over the grave
of the first to pass away
The contract was kept, says Mrs.
Davis. until her husbands death oc-
Cured in February. Then, she de-
clares, the defendants failed to pay
the $3.50 burial expenses, and have
since March 81 failed to pay her the
monthly allowance.
During the time that has elapsed
since the contract was entered into,
Jacoby Brothers have paid over $4,000
in return for the advance made to them
years ago. The firm has recently Of
fered to pay the outstanding funeral
bill and give Mrs. Davis $500 in cash
for a release from the contract, but
this has been refused and the case
will be fought out in the courts.

The Brotherhoods action follows that
of the switchmen's union, which pre-
scented similar demand some time ago,
but the two movements are independent
of each other.
The railroads, however, will be obliged

scented by the switchmen's union.
