WARNING TO FARMERS

@ This is the season Of the year

about his crop and is probably now
figuring on getting his fields ready
for the plow. In a great many
cases straw piles dot the stubble
fields and are in practically the.
same condition as they were when
the thresher pulled away from them
last fall. A great many farmers,
especially in the northern part of
the state, do not keep stock enuf
to work the straw up, their only.
means Of disposing of these straw
stacks is to burn them. Their fires
can be seen from now till seeding
time every night in every dlrec-55
ltion.
Mr.. Farmer, before yon apply q
match to straw pile just stop
and consider:
LIST, that the fire you set may lay
and shoulder for week or ten
days before high wind springs
up and fans the smouldering em-
ibers into a blaze which may spread
to the stubble OF grass and do a
great amount, Of damage for which
you are liable to your neighbors.
End It is a n1isdemeanor punish
able by fine OF imprisonment or
both, at the discretion Of the Court,
for setting a fire without SO feet of

traitor Gray's Regime

OAKLAND, Sept. 27.-Dying in Ala
penslve luxury, and dying with an

dltions is a most i'll advised invest
ment, according to county records.
The records are those of the George
Hite Cook estate filed by former Pub

in asking his discharge as admins
traitor. The estate, which had cash
valuation of s12,330.23, first came into
notice when Attorney John S. de Lam
cey, formerly counsel for Gray as pub
lie administrator. was indicted for the
alleged embezzlement of $4,000 from
its funds. Gray has offered to refund
this, and. having filed supplemental
inventory today asked to have the
estate closed up
Expenses attached to the admins
tering of the estate under the old and
the later regime in Gray's office show
that e. James Finney charged SAP for
funeral expenses. This item attracted
considerable notice in view of the fact
that Cook died without relatives or
friends and that the ceremonies were
necessarily simple. DR.. George Der
rick received $500 for medical attend
ance, and expenses at Fabiola hospital
were s161.70. Attorneys fees charged
against the. estate were $499.90, and
the same amount was paid as fees to
the public administrator. Carfare to-
tailed so cents, and the county treas
urer will receive s23.15 for handling a
deposit of $2,315. The total expenses
against the estate footed S2,471.72.
Cook died in September, 1905. He
left s10.7S2.7S at the German savings
and loan society of San Francisco,
$4,000 of which De Lancey was said
to have diverted to his own bank ac-
count, and $1,535.05 at the Oakland
Bank of Sayings. Since Gray under
took to wind up the esetate he has
discovered yellow metal watch and
s14.40 in cash.
The residue of ss,s5S.51 belonging to
the estate may not be deposited with
the county treasurer for some time yet,
as Attorney J. n. Bingaman, represent
ing Gray, has hopes of finding Cooks
heirs, and delay in depositing may save
them nearly 500 which would be pay

BE DISINCORPORATED

Suit in Towns Favor
| rSoer;ol DisooIcb fo The Call

SAN RAFAEL Sept 2I.-The suit
brought by Jean Escalle to disincor-
porate the town of Larkspur came to
an end in the superior court here to-
day when Judge Lennon decided in
favor of the town.

claimed that the polls were kept open
from o'clock in the morning until 5

and that many who went to San Fran
cisco on early trains and came home
late. had no opportunity to cast their
votes for against incorporation.

ter, who secured permission from At
torney General Z. S. Webb to prose
cute the case. Escalle's principal rea-
son for wishing to disincorporate the

Had Judge Lennon decided in favor
of disincorporation the complications
which would have followed would have
been Overwhelming. All the acts of
the various officials would have become
illegal ordinances and laws would be
void and town debts worthless to it's
creditors. and countless either affairs
tangled past solving.
In rendering his decision Judge Len
non said that he had found that the
election bristled with irregularities
That the ballots did not arrive at the
polls until o'clock in the morning
| that in some cases blank ballots were
| used, and that the polls closed at in
stead of 6.
However, he found from the evidence
| that the irregularities did not effect
| the result, and even if the polls had
been opened between the proper hours
that the majority of votes would still
/ have been in favor of incorporation.
