HEIRS WAGE WAR
OVER VAST
ESTATE
Have Stubborn Legal Contest
Over Fine Coal Property
(. Valued at More Than Twen-
ty Million Dollars,

VICTORIA, b. c.. Dec. 22.-One of
the greatest viii contests ever fought
out in America is expected 10 come to
trial here some time within the next
two or three weeks. The contest is
between the heirs of The late John
Dunspuir and James Dunsmuir, who
has just retired from the post of
lieutenant governor of British Column
bia. A fortune valued at between SIS
100000 and S2O.O00,oO0 is involved Ii
the fight
Mrs. Joan Dunsmuir was the widow
of Robert Dunsmuir, who made a CO.
lossal fortune by developing the fam
lily coal mines at Nanaimo, on Van
couEer Island. The coal deposits
were not only oil great extent, but OF
excellent Quality SO superior was
the Vancouver article that it was
able to go down TO San Francisco,
and handicapped by hostile tariff,
practically put the United States coal
out of business. IL was exported to
Japan, and wherever il came in COM
petition with other American or Eng
iish coal, it more than held its own.
When Robert Dunsmur died twenty
years ago. this great export trade in
coal had attained huge proportions.
1t had demanded fleet of vessels
and several lines of railway. all OF
which were owned by the coal mag
nate, and by him bequeathed to his
widow.
Mrs. Dunsmuir decided to put
James, the elder son, in charge Of the
actual mining work and all the busi-
ness which arose on Vancouver ISL
and, while Alexander, the younger,
went to San Francisco 10 see to the
distribution of the coal in its chief
marketLater Mrs. Dunsmuir sold her
interest in the entire business to
James and Alexander Less than two
months later, on January 2i, 1900
Alexander Dnnsmuir died In New
York, His win left all his property to
his brother James. Now other mem

loan Dunsmuir have sued James

and Nanaimo railroad lands, steamers,

DOUGLAS, Dec. 22.-tsDeeial. -
Six months in the county jail is
the penaity that William c. Allen is
to pay for attempting to palm off an
alleged half ceat as a five dollar sold
piece upon A. Aaronwald. This was
the result of his trial today.
Aaronwald has been In the country
but two years and while he seems to
understand Engiish pretty well he
was not sure enough OF himself to at
tempt 20 testify without the services
OF an interpreter and hence the SER
vices OF Ernest Fieischer were called
upon to handle the Yiddish dialect
Aaronwald told of his sale of a pair
OF gloves TO Allen, of the latter laying
down the supposed five dollar gold
piece and asking for change for a
five. He made the change, Allen de-
parted but came back from the door
when called. upon his discovery that
the coin was not what it purported to
be. threw down the gloves and some
change which was twenty-five cents
short and statred to go. Aaronwald
collared him and held him. called his
brother-in-law, William Kline, from
across the street and the two took
the man along until they found Frank
Clark and turned him over to that
officer.
Allen claimed he received he mon
ey as change for a $40 bill at Bisbee.
that 1t was the last coin he had. and
admitted he was accustomed 10 hand

was too fishy for the court to swai-

.COLORED LAD GETS
IN SERIOUS TANGLE
OFFICER LANDS ON HIM AT

GOES AFTER HIM.

DOUGLAS, Dec. 22-Cspecial)-
An ugly charge is that which
Punch" Jones, colored. will be call
ed upon to face when Deputy Sheriff
Bob Hilburn brings him back from
Globe.
Bob received a telegram this morn
ing that his man was in Jail there
and left for Globe this afternoon to
bring him back 10 face criminal pros
ecution.
The complaint filed against Jones
is seduction, but it may give way to
the more serious charge OF rape after
he is returned, for the prosecuting
witness is said to be but sixteen years
Of age. In either event it is apt to
go hard with the prisoner and he may
be facing a long term of >imprison-
ment.
When the complaint was sworn TO
an alarm for the detection of Jones
was sent out and his arrest yas duly
made by the Globe officers who then
sent a telegram to Hilbu1l. He made
his plans for the triz and left on the
two-thirty train this afternoon.

From the New York World.
Once more the dispute arises I'm print
as to when II Is q d~oughnut and when a

local.
If you eat the real thing In New Eng
land, with coffee at breakfast time or
with cider In the bayfield, at noon, It is a
doughnut-zunless IL is a fried cake. In
New York doughnuts are few, and II they
come from the bakers they may Just as
well be called c~rullers as anything else.
Nothing like them would 90 with. q dona-
ton party in Maine.

Herrick and other authorities accent the
i:~3portance of the deep dish for frying
dUughnuts. 1T does not seem to matter
for the other things. ~Doughnuts, accord
Ing TO the white House Cook Book" can
be nicely Drowned and cooked inside In
10 minutes, while ave or six minutes will
cook a cruller." A little time works won
ders in such a matter. ~
Consulting the Consolidated Library Of
Modern Cooking" we find hat for dough-
nuts the dough should be rolled out in
rings or small balls, while for crullers
the rule Is to ''cut In squares, cut Sits
with tagging iron and braid together"
Our grandmothers made raised dough-
nuts, which we seldom see. Sometimes
they put In allspice. which Is, like mo-
lasses In baked beans, a matter OF taste.
The doughnuts mother made in Boston or
Kennebunk, fried on Saturday, were good
for a week IL the boys let them last,
which they usually did not. Bakers crul-
lers in New York must be fresh every
morning. Real doughnuts are good with
cheese or maple syrup. Nobody who has
eaten them considers It digniied to take
crullers seriously.
