.BEQUEATHS NEPHEW $40;
CONTESTS AUNT's WILL
Former Jockey Claims a Large
Share in Estate of Mrs.
E. M. School

Claiming that Mrs. e. NJ. School, late
proprietor of the Marlboro hotel, who
died Monday, August s, leaving an
estate estimated at $4,000, was not
mentally competent to make will,
Jay Ransch, a nephew of the deceased,
has engaged counsel to contest the will,
he having only been bequeathed $40.
Jay Ransch is former jockey, once
prominent in racing circles on both
sides of the Atlantic. He believes that
Mrs. School should have left him a
large part of the estate. With the ex-
ception of the small amount willed him,
the estate was bequeathed to the de-
cedent's granddaughter, Kissie Ransch.
During the latter part of last May
Mrs. School caused the arrest of Jay
Ransch, she alleging that he had
threatened to kill Kissie Ransch.
Mrs. School was very i'll at that time
and the preliminary examination of the
jockey was held in her apartments by
Police Justice Rose. Owing to the
woman not being able to testify as to
the threats made by the defendant, the
case against him was dismissed.
The Jockeys attorneys are now pre-
pairing for the contest, which will be
heard in the superior court next month.

SET FOR AUGUST 20
SeIf-Confessed Murderer Is Study
to Officers

Mrs. Freda Schultz Castine, will have
his preliminary examination before
Justice Summerfeld August 20. That
date was set yesterday by Justice
Steele, sitting in Justice Summerfield's
court The complaint against the
prisoner was sworn to by Deputy
Sheriff Martin Aguirre.
Schultz apparently evinced no inter-
est in the legal formality when the
warrant was read to him though he
knows that the penalty for the crime
which he committed may be death.
To members of Sheriff Hammers
force, the man is a study. He appears
to be contented with his surrounding
though through all Of yesterday after
noon he lafd on his bunk and stared
up at the ceiling. He readily admits
his crime and recites the details with
out a show of emotion. AS he cannot
speak English, he does not associate
with the other prisoners in his tank"

PuRLIo DOUBTS REPoRTs

Reports from the hospital that the
bulletins from the mayors bedside
were masking the whole truth were
widely current this afternoon and even
ing with considerable basis for Gre
dence beneath them.
Robert Adamson, the mayors secre-
tary, is said to have stated that the
mayors condition today was as serious
as at any time since he was shot.
Other reports had it that the glands in
the mayors neck had begun to swell,
indicating the development of dreaded
blood poisoning; and from this it was
reasoned that If the swelling increased
pressure on one of the blood vessels
abraded by the passage of the bullet
might induce a hemorrhage with fatal
results.
Mr.. Adamson had answered all these
statements which found their way
into print with a fiat denial. None of
the doctors in attendance would even
discuss them.
NO PROMISES OF RECOVERY
There remains the fact that there has
arisen a conscientiousness among those
in touch both with the public and with
the sick room that the official bulletins
are vigorously confined to the stated
symptoms, and at no time have they
ventured an assertion that the mayor
is out of danger or any definite promise
of his ultimate recovery.
Counterbalancing the disquieting ru-
mors, the mayor was able to eat milk,
toast and eggs, the nearest approach to
solid food since he was wounded. The
immediate members of his family still
see him only for brief intervals, and
nobody else but the doctors, Secretary
Adamson and the nurses see him at all

 This was an action for damages to the amount of $2o0.000 growing out of the alleged failure of the defendants to carry out a contract in relation to mine in Cochise county of which the defendants had taken control for the purpose of reorganization. A point made by the plaintiffs was that if the defendants were unable to handle the property. that is. to reCrGaniZc it, it was to be surrendered to the plain tiffs in the shape in which it then was.
 The case having been brought L" this county on d change of venue. il was tried before Judge Kent and the plaintiffs were given judgment for Sl30.000. The case was argued at the January meeting and at the late ad iourned meeting the amount of the judgment was reduced to $67 .56t.63
