Police Notified and Special officer
Appears Just as Robber, Who
Confesses, Emerges from
Residence

Miss Lillian Sunderland, 1911 South
Flower street, whose presence of mind
resulted in the capture of Gus Lundenl
of sos Ruth avenue, who was taken
into custody by Special Officer Fred b.
Hamer just as the former emerged from
the home of John j. Bergin at 1913
South Flower street, which he had
robbed, testified in Police Justice Cham
bers' court yesterday at the prelim-
mary hearing, which resulted in Lun-
dehl being held to answer to the su-
perior court in bonds of $1500 on a
charge of burglary.
'I was sitting in my room," said the
young woman, when 1 heard some one
walking on the porch of the Bergin
home. 1 knew the family was at the
beach and wondered whom ID could be.
Then I heard noise at the side door,
and when 1 looked 1 saw lights flash
ing in the house. 1 was satisfied there
was something wrong and notified the
University police station"
Miss Julia Sunderland, sister of the
witness, testified that she also had
heard a noise at the side door of the
Bergin home, and saw lights flash in
the house. While her sister telephoned
to the police she watched the Bergin
house and saw the man emerge from
the front door,
Fred B. Hamer, special officer of the
Hendrickson night watch service, tes-
titled he responded to the red light"
signal flashed by the University police
station and reached the ,Bergin home
in time to see Lundehr appear on the
sidewalk. He arrested Lundehl and
took him to the Sunderland home,
where Miss Julia Sunderland identified
the prisoner as being the man who had
emerged from the house.
Hamer then stated he started toward
the patrol box and reached for his bicy-
Gle, when Lundehl broke away and ran.
Hamer pursued him and was compelled
to knock down Lundehl with a revolver.
The latter then admitted he was the
man who robbed the house and pro-
duced cigarette case and several stick
pins which he had stolen.
About fifteen minutes after Hamer
had arrested Lundehl Patrolman Abel,
who had been detailed to investigate
the case, appeared and the prisoner
was turned over to him.
Lundehl sat as if in a trance during
his hearing and declined to question
the witnesses

STILL FIGHT FOR
WOMAN'S ESTATE
ANOTHER CHAPTER RECORDED
IN LEGAL CONTEST
SISTER ENDEAVoRs TO PROVE
OWNERSHIP OF PROPERTY
Daughters of Mrs. ZereIda S. Wheeler
Contest Will Which Leaves Valu-
alton Estimated at $4,000
to Two Women

Another chapter in the legal contest,
the object of which is to reach a final
settlement of the estate left by MRS.
Zerelda S. Wheeler, who died in De-
cember, 1907, leaving property valued,
it is said, at more than $4,000, was
begun in the probate court yesterday.
Mrs. Wheeler left will in the CUSTODY
of her daughter, Jessie w. Taylor, Two
heirs being named-Mrs. Iaylor anu
her sister, Mrs. Helen .: MOTIFS WlIe
of Rev. ]. w. Morris, a Methodist min
lister, at one time pastor of the Pico
Methodist church in this city. MRS.
Morris is now in the insane asylum,
w, A. Snedeker having been appointed
guardian of her person and estate.
1t was not until March last year,
about three months after her mother $
death, that Mrs. Taylor filed the Will
for probate, and this step was taken,
it is said, only after proceedings were
instituted by Mr. Morris. The petition
accompanying Mrs. Taylor's petition
for probate placed the value of her
mothers estate at $4,000. She was
appointed Administrative. Later when
she filed a verified inventory of the
estate, it is said, only some personal
effects were mentioned, the total value
being given at $4O0.
Daughters Interfere
Three daughters of Mrs. Morris then
brought proceedings to have Mrs. Tay-
lor removed as Administrative, and this
matter has been before Judge RlVes
for more than six months.
Mrs. Wheeler at one time owned the
Villa, corner of Hill and First streets
This was decided to Mrs. Taylor, who
later sold it and purchased some flats
on Flower street. 1t is said by the
attorneys representing Mrs. Morris
interests and those of her children that
the Flower street property was intend
ed by Mrs. Wheeler to be held by her
daughter, Mrs. Taylor, in trust for
herself and sister, but this is denied
by Mrs. Taylor.
The hearing yesterday was partic-
ularly directed to the contents OF a
letter which Mrs. Taylor said she had
received from her sister, and which
would prove the actual ownership OF
the property. This letter, according
to Mrs. Taylor, was burned several
wears ago, and an examination as to
it's nature was still in progress when
the case was continued until Wednes-
day.
Andrew G.. Park, who is attorney for
Mrs. Morris and her daughters, has
associated with him in the contest the
firms of Gray, Barker & Bowen and
Allen, Van Dyke & Jutten.

Richard Watson Glider.

So far as concerns the relations of
the late editor poet to letters the YER
dict of critics is likely to be that he
produced much verse that was timely
and effective, yet but few gems. He
lived wholly in his day and wrought
for it to a greater degree than most
poets. His calling as editor forced him
to keep in close touch with the more
or less distracting activities all about
him.
Mr.. Glider was first of all patriot
and next an agent in the making of a
periodical with a mission. He was one
of the builders and at critical time
the chief builder Of the influential
magazine first known as Scribner's
and afterward named the Century. In
this useful field alone he found work
to absorb the powers Of the average
man of letters. Yet this labor did not
exhaust his resources He performed
a wide service for intellectual culture
and for social culture and betterment
and was known to an extensive circle
as an editor of influence in the commu.
nifty where he lived and in the nation
at large.
