WINS SUIT FOR SHARE IN
GRANDFATHER'S ESTATE
Florence Hardy Is Awarded
Part of $4,000
TSpecial Dispatch 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO, June 23.-Florence
Hardy of Oakland today won her suit
for a fourth interest in the $4,000
estate of her deceased grandfather.
Rev Horace Allen Mayhem. Judge
Shields, before whom the trial was
held. ruled that Charles and Frank
Mayhem and ". T. and Mary Phipps,
uncles and aunt respectively of Flor
ence Hardy, must make an accounting
and turn over the share of the estate
coming to Mrs. Hardy.
The allegations of fraud and deceit
made against her uncles by Florence
Hardy were abandoned, the case rest
ing on the right of testator to divide
among his children $4,000 left him by
his wife for use during his lifetime.
The court held that Mayhem had no
right to divide the $4,000 legacy and
shut out Florence Hardy. as he only
had a conditional ownership of it, the
condition under his wife's will being
that he use only enough for his COM
fort and happiness and the residue at
his death was to fall to his heirs at
law. among them Florence Hardy.
The confusion caused by the di-
vision OF the estate must be adjusted
so Florence Hardy can get her share,
which will amount TO about $4,000.

HEAP PROSPEROUS InJUN.

Press dispatches from New Mexico announcing the first annual fair of the Navajo Indians in the Shiprock agency would indicate that people will have to stop speaking of Poor Lo." Mir. Lo is not poor as the Navajo people demonstrated when they put $7O.0O0 worth of their products on eX- hibition, including fruit. vegetables, cereals and Navajo blankets.
 Several of the Indian tribes now have such fairs annually. and it an nounced that the Navajo tribe will make a yearly feature of their indus trial fair The idea started in Mon tana. having been originated about five years ago by Maj. s. C. Reynolds agent of the Crows. The annual fairs of the Crows have proved so sue cessful that other tribes have fallen in line. the Shoshones. and Arapahoes giving genuine pumpkin show on their reservation in Wyoming.
 Nothing can demonstrate more Thoroughly than these fairs the re- markable progress made by the In iians in the last twenty years. The Indian schools have been largely in strumentaI in awakening the Indian to q sense of personal responsibility. The present generation of red men sees the necessity of doffing the blan- ket and joining with the white man in doing the worlds work There are many wealthy Indians and. at the presest rate of material progress it twill not be long until redskinned Car ~negies and Rockefellers are building libraries and endowing colleges. In the meantime these annual fairs enable one to form a pretty good estimate of the headway made by the Indian along the road to civilization, and in dicate that Miss Prosperity draws no color line in distributing her favors in this land of the blest.
