MRS. HANBURY SEEKS TO
CLEAR TITLE TO ISLAND
Sues to Have Deed to Husband
Brother Cancelled

NAPA, June 3o.-Legal battle be-
tween Mrs. Marie Eleanor" Hanbury,
wife of Millionaire David T. Hamburg
of San Francisco and Napa, and David
rs brother, John Mackenzie Hanbury,
a millionaire merchant of London,
Eng, over q 100000 island was
started in the superior court of Napa
county late last night.
An attorney for Mrs. Hamburg the
former telephone girl, filed complaint
vigorous language and asking that a
deed which John Mackenzie holds from
David 7. be Cancelled and declared void.
The deed in question is dated Jan
uary 8, 1908. and was filed in Napa jan
uary 10, 1909. December u, 1908, Da-
vid r. had fled a deed in this city
making d Christmas gift of the famous
island No. p, situated IA miles south of
Napa, to his wife.
Mrs. Hamburg claims that at the time
her husband executed the deed TO john
Mackenzie David T. was not of sound
and disposing mind, by reason of the
fact that he had been intoxicated for
of the deed. She also asserts that the
deed was never delivered to John Mac
kenzie; that it was never intended that
the instrument should take effect.
The deed was executed during the
sensational divorce proceedings be-
tween David r. and his wife in San
Francisco, the couple finally becoming
reconciled and dismissing the suit.
The island is remarkably fertile and
has a $4,000 hay crop on it. which Mrs.
Hanbury says should be cared for inn
mediately. The John Mackenzie Han
bury deed was recorded month after
the one to Mrs. Marie Eleanor.

In the Sacramento Valley
BAD FIRE AT THE
CONCORD TRACK
Stables Burned and Total DAM
age Will Be in Neighbour
hood of $4,000

MARTINEZ. lime an.--A fire yester-
day afternoon consumed the larger part
of the building of the Concord race
track
c. Il. Windeler,' manager of the track,
and several assistants were burning off
the grass along the road around the
track when the fire got beyond their
control and ignited the board fence
around the track and then the stables.
. These. which were mere frame build
ings, were rapidly reduced to ashes.
The flames then spread to the grand
stand and from there to the saloon at
the racetrack and the home of Win
deler.
The swift breeze famed, the flames
| into fierce blaze.
The volunteer fire department from
Concord had rushed to the scene, but
owing to the lack of water could not do
much. The grandstand and the resi-
dence buildings were saved before
much damage had been done.
Windeler, who worked heroically in
putting out theafire, was badly burned
in rescuing goods from his house.
The horses in the stable were cut
loose and it was with dificuIty that
they were rescued. Only one horse was
killed.
When the fire was finally got under
control it was estimated that about
$4,000 worth of damage had been done.
This loss is a great blow to the man
agement, as plans had been made for
big celebration at the racetracl1
July 4. The buildings will be rebuilt
as soon as possible

County Supervisors
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SACRAMENTO, June s0.-That the
Southern Pacific contemplates the con-
struction within two years of a con-
crete and steel double track bridge to
cost $1,000, 900 to span the Sacramento
river at this point was disclosed today
when r. r. Jones appeared for the
company before the board of super
visors and asked for conference be-
tween supervisors OF this and Yolo
counties with officials of the company
to go over the plans for such struc-
ture.
Jones stated that the plans for the
bridge awaited the approval of the SUI
pervisors. The conference will be held
next week.
The new bridge will be constructed
at a point several hundred feet above
the present structure, thus doing away
with the necessity for a sharp curve
between the depot and the bridge.
