The reporter tried to make notes. but
1t was impossible. AS he was making a

engage in another, and he was not able
to follow them. So the best thing to do,

LUX ESTATE AGAIN
IN LEGAL TANGlE
Supreme Court, En- Banc, Grants
New Trial to Thomas
R. Cooley

The supreme court sitting en- banc
granted a new trial yesterday in the
case of Thomas Ross Cooley VS.. Miller
& Lux ct al in an exhaustive review
of the case, which covered II pages of
manuscript. This decision reopens liti-
cation involving some of the most VAL
liable land and cattle interests in the
state of California. The opinion was
rendered by Justice Shaw. Justices An
gelotti. sloss, Lorigan and Henshaw
concurring, while Justice Melvin dis
sented.
The action of the court yesterday re-
versed an order made some time ago
by department two of the supreme
court deriving the motion of plaintiff
for a retrial. The case was originally
tried in the superior court of San
Francisco in 1905, and after long
legal battle was decided in favor OF
the defendants.
The case involves suit for partition
brought by Cooley as grantee from
James H. Campbell of an alleged one
three e-hundredth part of the interests
of the German heirs of Lux, who died
intestate in 1887, the same being in
payment of legal services.
The defendants secured a decree OF
distribution denying the Campbell
claim. The superior court held that
Cooleys right of redress was cut off
by this decree and found for Miller
& Lux ct al.
On appeal, this holding was affirmed
but yesterday was reversed on the
ground that an error had been made
as Cooley had not been properly in
formed as to respective interests of
~ lafr int
arate groups and filed five separate
answers.
In the present case Cooley was rep
resented by Sullivan & Sullivan, Theo-
dore J. Roche and John j. Barrett
while w. B. Treadwefl. L. NJ. Hoefier
and Downey & Gutsch appeared for
the defendants.

HOWARD'S WIDOW
AGAIN TESTIFIES
Claims Late President of Spring
Valley Decided Her Live
stock WORTH $4,000

Mrs. Emma. Shafter Howard, widow
of Charles Webb Howard who was
president of the Spring Valley water
company, again testified yesterday be-
fore Judge Seawen in support of her
claim to be declared owner of the
$4,000 worth of horses and cattle on
the Marin county ranches placed in
trust for her by her husband at the
time they parted. 19 years ago.
Did you ever have any doubt that
the horses and cattle went with the
other property?' asked her attorney,
Charles S. Wheeler.
Il never did" was the answer
The property described in the deed
of trust is only the ranches, but in the
Introductory paragraph occurs the
phrase, "All the following described
real and personal property in the
county of Marin" IT is the contention
of Mrs. Howard's lawyers that the word
real referred to the horses and cattle.
William F. Herrin, who represented
Howard at the time of the latter's
separation from his wife in 1890, gave
his recollection of the dealings He
recalled that Howard instructed him
to insure that he should have the con-
troll and management of the property
during his life time. AS to whether
the property placed in trust included
the horses and cattle, Herrin had no
remembrance.
J. NJ. Duke, secretary of the Howard
, investment company and for many
years secretary of Charles Webb How
ard produced the form of lease under
which the land was leased to dairy
men. 1t showed that the lessees were
required by their compact to maintain
the stock at a certain point, raising
so many heifers each year. This is
interpreted by Mrs. Howard's attorneys
as showing that the stock always went
with the ranch.
Il The trial will be resumed this morn.
