That No Zionist Shall Share
the Property
ESTATE is VALUED AT $500
Testator Names BenefiCiarles at
a Period When He Was
FIouriShing
ESTATE is VALUED AT $500

That none OF his property ever should
benefit Zion City or any of its branches
or John Alexander Dowie or any of his
followers is the provision contained In
the will of Charles II. King, which was
filed for probate yesterday in the SUI
perior court.
The will was made october 3, 1904, at
a time, too, when King was possessed
OF much more property than that which
comprises the estate at present, for all
there is left, according to the petition
err, Charles e. Siverts, and the attor-
reys, Kemper b. Campbell and f. w.
Fellows, is realty in Los Angeles coun-
ty valued at $500.
King, who was 40 years old when he
died, August II, 1907, had been the VIC
tim of much illness, and as result
his estate, once of considerable size,
had dwndled. Despite that, he did not
change his will, the provisions or winch
seem greatly incongruous with the
value of the estate. He provided that
his mother, Mrs. Electa Ann King OF
Los Angeles, should have the income
on all of his real and personal prop
erty SO long as she should live, unless
she remarked. II the income were not
sufficient for her to live comfortably,
the executor was ordered to sell enough
of the estate to provide for her.
At his mothers death or remarriage'
each of the eight children of brother,
John B. King, were to receive bequest
OF 500, to be used to help them In
acquiring an education. If the bequest
were not taken by the devisee within
year from the time it was available,
the provision was to be void.
After the requests were given TO the
nephews and nieces, the remainder or
the estate was to be divided between
John B. King and another brother, Jay
King. Before the latter or any of his
heirs, who should have reached the age
of q years, could receive a share in
1.-THE estate, however, they were to be
3reouffed to nile declaration in writing
in the probate court of Grand Traverse
county, Michigan, that no part of 1t
should be paid out or used in any
manner for Zion City, the sect of which
John Alexander Dowie was then at the
head, or any branch or organization or
person in any way connected with 1t.
John 3. King was named as executor
of the will, and the dead mans mother
was nominated administrator.
The reason for his dlsliking to have
any of his estate go to aid Dowie or
Zion City is not known. The attorneys
suggest that it merely was because he
disliked Dowie's teachings.

THIEVES SCORN CASH AND
STEAL POSTAGE STAMPS
Mccall
Patterns

Burglars with a strong preference
for postage stamps forced their way
into the Salt Lake railway offices in
the Pacific Electric building Sunday
afternoon and made away with all
the stamps in sight, several dollars
worth. Though small cash box con-
tanning considerable small change was
on the table at the time, no effort was
made to break it open, nor was any
thing else in the place molested.
J. Ross Clark, who also has offices
in the Pacific Electric building, re-
ported to the police yesterday that
a suspicious looking man abruptly
entered his offices Sunday afternoon.
about the time the Salt Lake haul is
supposed to have been made. Clark
said the intruder seemed alarmed
when he found him at his desk, but
quickly regaining his composure, beat
a hasty retreat down the stairs into
the street. Clark believes the man
was one of those responsible for the
robbery.
The salt Lake offices were entered
after the main door lock had been
forced by means of a slender blade
slipped through the casing.

ais less valuable than gold. Silver
filings. aluminium and even some odd
change in the cash box were left UNI

the place was carried away.
The burglar evidently entered the
office between and 5 o'clock Sunday
afternoon. When DR.. Hayes arrived
there shortly before 6 o'clock he saw
evidences of the intruder's work. and
a close inspection showed that there
WASN'T enough gold left in the place
with which to fill single tooth. Even
some old crowns and bridgeworlS
which might have been pressed into
use in an emergency were gone.
The door was probably opened with
