Probate Court to-day of how he heard
Horace Greeley's call, Go West, young
man." and worked his way through many
hardships to the Pacific Coast. william
r. Scharton, counsel for another claim
Cnt Dakota Dan" Russell, heckled him
through a relentless cross-eXamination
and tried to break down the testimony OF
the man from the West by tripping him
UP in the intricacies OF old Boston.
Fresno Dan" said he left his home AZ
Melrose in 1885 and deliberately dropped
out of sight OF his family until 1910. when
he reappeared as a claimant for part OF
the wealth left by "Old Dan" The pc
tition Of Dakota Dan was at that time
before the Boston Probate Court. and he
admitted his sudden temperance was
rather a surprise 10 the rest OF the Fam
lily. William c. Russell, who remained at
home and preserved his identity beyond
question. certified TO his being the genuine
Young Dan" scouting the pretensipns Of
Dakota Dan" who is vouched for by
others
Fresno Dan" said that when he ran
away from home he went first TO New
York, then to Chicago, St Paul and Min
neapolis, and then he took a section Gang
train 10 Montana After that he struck
out for the Pacific Coast. The other
Dams" lawyer made him recall any
number OF aliases which he found useful.

but he admitted Il was hard ''to recall a
lot OF little things happening back TWEEN
ty-ive or thirty years ago which he had
intended forgetting" On old Boston and
the landmarks which have gone his mem
orv was scant and he owned up 10 its
weakness. He was asked about the Par
ker House, South End. Back Bay and
West End.
"Once upon time I knew where all
those places were. but you can search me
now" said Fresno Dan" Even Judge
Gilbert A. Pevey. who is taking the testi-
mony as master in probate. Joined In the
laugh which went around the court.
Was there an elevated road In Boston
al that tlrne?" asked the lawyer.
Fresno Dan" was not certain. But he
vas sure there was no subway. The hrst
time he rode in a subway in Boston was
on his return In 1910.
People were glad enough then 10 stick
20 the fresh air and the top OF the earth" -
said Fresno Dan
Fresno Dan is sVart, whiskeref,
quick Of wic and crisp Of speech. "pa-
kota Dan" IS sallow, talks with a drawi
and still preserves New England man

ENTICING FRUIT MIXTURES
Macedoines Please Both Eye
and Palate at This Season.

Cool jelles and fruit macedoInes, or
"salai.." as these fruit mixtures are
called. taste better at this season than at
any other. For festive occasions fruit
naacedoine Is often covered with a clear,
cleaning Jelly, and Is especially delicious
when served with cream. The fruits
should be arranged so that their colors
will show through the transparent jelly
10 the BEST advantage. Any kind may
be used, providing It's flavor harmonizes
with that of the fruits. In Francatelli' s
opinion. the fruits most appropriate to
yerve in this way are peaches, hectares.
apricots, stra wberries, raspberries. null
berries. cherries. pears, oranges, pome-
sranates, red, white and black currants
and all kinds OF purns. Among the fruits
not included I'm his list are the apple, the
banana and the grapefruit. which to-
day are used. perhaps, moro largely IN
fruit mscedolnes and Jellles than any
other.
The banana is particularly good In
fruit rnacedoine. II makes an excellent
foundation. AZ 1t has not very suohs
eavor of its own, and fruits OF various
kinds can be combined with 1t 10 adVah-
tase.
The fruits may be mixed directly with

of Former Husbands Estate.

Surrogate Cohalan revoked yesterday
the letters testamentary issued to Mrs.
Clara Hadheld Hughes McNaughton, as
eXecutrix of the estate of her former

application for the removal of Mrs. Nc
Naughton was brought by her step
daughter. Mrs. Elisabeth Hughes Blake
man, whose sister. Mrs. Hattie NJ. Ryder.

funds Of the estate for her own benefit,
causing a loss Of 5000 TO each OF her
stepdaughters. Mr.. Hughes divided his
estate in three equal parts-one to his
wife and one each to his daughters. Since
his death Mrs. Hughes remarked.

Naughton sold some railroad stocks be-
longing to the estate and invested the

the estate to travel in Europe. There is
now left only 5000 in bank belonging TO
the estate.

wasted the funds Of her former husbands
estate. She said that Clarence II. Ryder,
husband Of Mrs. Ryder, one OF the step
daughters, tried to take from her one
hundred shares of Missouri, Kansas &
Texas stock which had been Endorsed in
blank and that he returned them only
when she threatened TO telephone for the

because she thought it a good invest
ment. Mrs. McNaughton denied taking
