SPRECkELS Will IS
ARGUED ATLENGTH
Summing Up Of Law In
Dealing with Property
Division

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 1.-THE
Claus Spreckels will case, one of the
most notable probate contests that
has ever been waged in the local
courts, was submitted yesterday to
Superior Judge Coffey, for final de-
cision. Peter F. Dunno, attorney for
the contestants. John ID. and Adolph
II. 'Spreckels, finished his exhaus-
tive argument. which has occupied
several days of the courts time, and
the case was declared closed save for
the handing down of the courts de-
cision.
Technically the battle, which has
been fought for nearly four weeks
with every legal weapon in the pos
session of the most skillful lawyers,
has not been direct contest of the
Will, but to adj practical intens II
has been the real struggle to deter
mine the validity or invalidity OF
the will by which the sugar king at
tempted to provide for the DISPOSE
ton of his millions.
Attack on Trust Clause.
The attack on the will originated
In a demurrer filed by the contest
ants in connection with a petition
for a partial distribution of the es.
tate filed by Rudolph and Claus Au-
gustus, the executors named In the
will. The contest thus far has been
confined to an attack upon the va
lidity of the trust clause of the will.
Should the court rule in favor of
the contestants the will must fall
and nothing remains to the legatees
named therein but an appeal to the
supreme court for reversal OF the
superior court decision. II Judge
Coffey should decide in favor of the
proponents the contestants would
still be entitled to attack the docu-
ment on other grounds.
The attack OF the contestants has
been the most thorough exposition
of the law relative to trusts under
a will that has been made before a
California court since the James Fair
will was in litigation. The Fair will
decision, incidentally, has had an
important bearing on the present
case and the arguments before Judge
Coffey have attracted the close at
tention Of many students OF the law
who have followed the arguments OF
the opposing attorneys with utmost
interest.

ants as presented by Dunno and A.
F. Morrison, who made the opening
argument in the case, has been sum
med up under four general divisions.
Between them these two attorneys
have thrashed out very last detail.
Hundreds Of cases'have been cited in
support of their contentious and the
controversy has been summed up
with logical analysis of law and
fact that has made their position al
most impregnable.
The four points upon which the
contestants rely are substantially
these: The trust clause of the will
is unlawful and invalid because 1t
attempts to establish trust to con-
vey realty. which Is not allowable
under California statutes; the real
ty clause can not be thrown down
and the personality clause Sustained
for the reason that the personally
and realty of the estate are SO in
separately interblended that the fall
of the one must drag the other with
It; the will provides for an illegal
suspension of the power of aliena-
ton. in that its provisions extend to
a period not covered by the lives OF
persons in being at the time Of the
death OF the testator; the provisions
OF the will do not come within the
law respecting perpetuities in that
they fail to eliminate the possibility
of the estate vesting in the benefi-
Charles during the lives of persons
in being at the death of the tesla
tor. t
New York Case Quoted.
Dunno occupied the two sessions
of court yesterday with a discus
sion of the two latter general sub
divisions OF his argument, elaborat-
ing upon his former contentious res
pecting the subject Of contingent IL
mutations. He dwelt at length upon
the decision OF the court in the Ma
nice case In New York, upon which
considerable reliance was placed by
the proponents, and showed the dis
tinction between that and the case
under consideration. This distinc-
ton, he argued, was that between
an estate in trust and the mere exer-
else of power in trust.
Dunno asserted that Judge Rapal-
los decision In the Manice case was
consonant with the law OF New York
based IN the enabling Legislation OF

AT THE CHURCHES
Methodist Episcopal

Much enthusiasm was manifested at
all the services. The music was OF 4 6
usual devotional nature, and especi1lty
touching was the response by doub' g
quartet. The inspiration of good sing
ing in the services of Gods house can
not be estimated. Rev. P. A. Smith
spoke to an unusually large audien
from the text THE Lord thinketh on
me-" message of comfort. The pastor
spoke in his usual interesting manner
the cheering message of soul who think
eth Gods thoughts after Him. GODS
thoughts are revealed in His works, in
His word, and in the great gift of His
love,-the Son or God who was and is
the living expression of Gods thoughts
for the world. In closing, the speaker
contrasted the death of the saved and
the unsaved, for he one, despair, black
ness, the tomb, tor the other, hope, light
for where Jesus is there is no night, the
glories of the eternal ages which it hath
not entered into the heart of man to con-
ceive of it's beauty and grandeur.
The Sunday school was attended by
increased numbers and interest, l3S be-
ing present.

Death of Mrs. Geo. M. Lanpher

Vermont friends of Geo. M. Lanpher,
who became acquainted with his wife,
while she was visiting them with him, a
few Years ago, without doubt will be
very much grieved to learn of her death
after a painful illness of nearly year,
from Bright's disease. The immediate
cause however was shock, which came
upon her about seven weeks before her
death. and from which she lay entirely
helpless until Saturday evening, Dec. 26.

of the Free Baptist church OF that place
officiating, with G. E. Libby of Newfield,
Me-, in charge. Appropriate selections
were sung by quartet, and the profu-
sion of floral offerings gave silent, yet
eloquent testimony of the estimation III
which she was held by relatives and
friends, as they nearly covered her cas-
ket.
Mrs. Lanpher was born in Portland,
Me-. Nav /, 1851 and at the time of her
death her age was 81 years, months and
26 days. She was the youngest daughter
of Andrew and Almira (BennetU Gray
but her own mother dying at ner blrth

WATERFORD, Me.,) when an infant and
brought up as their own. She was twice
married. the second being to George NJ.

OBITUARY

The following obituary on the death OF
Mrs. Harriet Gilbert, a notice of whose
death appeared in recent issue of this
paper, is taken from the Waterbury Rec
ord:-Harriet Fidela Wrisley was born
in Stowe, May 5, 1884. When small
child the family moved to Waterbury on
to the farm where Henry Thurston now
lives on Loomis bill. This was her
home until she entered one of her own.
She was the daughter of Sanford and
Sarah C. Richardson WrisleY. She
was married March 10, 1885, to DR.. X. u.
Gilbert. They first lived at Waterbury,
Center in the house that is now the
Methodist parsonage, being the first oc-
cupants of the house, but they soon
moved to Morrisville. With the excep-
ton of brief intervals in Cabot and Cam
bridge that was always their home.
Not long after her marriage she expert
enced saving faith in Christ. With
her, that was abiding work. A noble
Christian life was hers. She was ever
ready to bear witness of her Saviour.
She was constantly seeking and improv-
ing opportunities for speaking the Christ
ian word of cheer, helpfulness and en-
couragement to others. She first Joined
the Morrisville Congregational church,
but not long after, transferred her mem
bership to the Christian church. At the
time of her death she was member of

Advent Christian

Rev. j. II. Wales, pastor of the Advent
list church at Sunshine, Me-, preached in
the Advent Christian church last Sunday
morning. His subject was, :" The Right
Attitude of Christian" The text was
found in John 2l:15, Lowest thou me
more than these ?"
He said, This is question we all
must answer" 1--WE must love Christ
more than the temporal things of this
life"
We must have the spirit of God in our
hearts in order TO love as we ought. The
question is not, how much do we know
about theology; but how much. do we
know about the love of God.
Christ loved us more than he loved
himself; some have palaces to live in,
but Christ during his earthly career
said, "rhe son of man hath not where To
lay his head" This was not because he
had to, but because of his love for the
race.
Because of this great love, we should
love Him and his words more than any
thing else. In order to increase our love
we must have more faith in God, we
must live better lives. We should be es-
tablished in our love for God, as with st.
Paul who said, Nothing shall be able
to separate me from the love of God
which is in Christ Jesus our Lord"
The Sunday school was well attended
and interesting.
In the evening at Z o'clock revival
service was held, the pastor preached a
short sermon on the subject, Judgment
to Come" His text was 2 Cor. $40.
1--WE must all appear before the judg-
ment seat of Christ.

EXECUTING MAZEPPA.
Peter the Greats Odd Way of Punish
ing a Deserter.


Peter the Great, car of Russia, pun.
ished a traitor on notable occasion In
way that the numerous victims OF
the present czar's wrath might well
wish were still in vogue.
Mazeppa, chieftain Of the Cossacks,
had deserted to the king Of Sweden,
with whom Peter was at war. Ma
zeppa was at once tried by court mar
tial and found guilty of high treason
Sentence of death was passed upon
him.
Mazeppa, however, was safely in the
camp of the Swedish king, but this
fact was not permitted to stand in the
way of the carrying out of every part
of the sentence. A wooden effigy OF
Mazeppa was made, and the punish
ments were inflicted upon the Cossack
chieftain's substitute.
The effigy was first dressed in Ma
zeppas uniform, and upon its breast
were pinned all of the medals, ribbons
and other decorations that the real cul
prit had worn.
While the commanding general and
q squadron of cavalry stood near ar
officer advanced to the wooden man
and read the sentence. Then another
officer wrenched off the effigy's patent
of knighthood and his other decora
lions, tore them up and trampled upor
them. This done, he struck the wood
en- gentleman a powerful blow in the
pit of the stomach, knocking him over
Next hangman appeared. While the
soldiers shouted he threw moose ovel

ged the effigy to a nearby galloWs

Too Much For the Ferret.

An old buck rabbit is not to be light
" tackled by weasel, stoat or even
ferret. On the sanded floor Of small
public house a ferret of long expert
ence was matched with an old lop
cared buck, the property of the land
lord. The ferret made straight for the
rabbits throat, but the latter was in
the air before master ferret could
reach him and, leaping clean over the
ferret's head, let out with those power,
full hind legs of his a kick which
hurled the ferret bodily against the
wainscot. Twice the ferret returned
to the attack, and twice he missed his
grip and went hurting through the
air. The third repulse was enough fol
him. He knew he was beaten and
could not be persuaded to stand up fol
a fourth round.-Pearson's Weekly.

Drouth in Wright county has

is badly damaged. At the time the
drouth began there was never better
prospect for an abundant crop. Up
land crops which promised so bushels

anything now. The crops in the bot
toms, although damaged by the drouth,
will be fairly good without any more
rain. Probably not more than half the
corn will be raised in the county that
there would have been had it not been
for the drought. Pastures are not

never better. A good crop of apples
