ANOTHER WILL FOUND
Latest Sensation in the Fair
Will Case
PRODUCED IN COURT TODAY
It Divide the Estate Almost Equally
Between Fair's Bob and Two
Daughters--Where It Has
Been.
San Feancisco, March 18. The con
tention in the courts over the millions
left by James G. Fair developed another
sensation this morning. When the case
was called before Superior Judge Slack,
a great Btir was caused by the introduc-
. tion of what purports to be a later
holographic will written in lead pencil
on two sheets of legal cap paper. It
was brought into court securely framed
between two plates of glass by Reuben
.Lloyd, who has been retained in the
case by Mrs. Oelrichs and Virginia Fair,
daughters of the deceased. This alleged
" will divides the estate almost equally
between the two daughters and Charlie
Fair. It bequeaths a few thousand dol
lars to certain orphan asylums, and
makes no provisions for such a trust as
the estate is left in control of under the
will previously hied.
Messrs. Angus and Crothers are two
of the four executors named in the
previously filed will. ' Referring to this
alleged will, Attorney Lloyd informed
the court that the document, according
to its date, was executed three days
later than the will previously filed He
said he would prove that the existence
of this will had been known to several
persons, and that it had finally been
found in the possession of a very estim
able old lady, whose name Lloyd did not
divulge. Lloyd said the old lady had
, not produced it because she had read of
f the other will being offered for probate,
' ""and had supposed that it- was a later
document than the one she held. The
fact that this new alleged will has been
presented in . court by Attorney Lloyd
would indicate that Charlie Fair and his
sisters have joined forces . to contest the
will of their father.
The attorneys who represent the
executors under the will previously
filed, and of which the original copy
was stolen, intimated very strongly that
they believek this latest alleged will to
be a forgery. The case was finally con
tinued to April 2.
The alleged will produced today be
queaths to various brothers and sisters
of deceased and their children about the
same amounts as was left to them under
the will previously filed. Under the
first will the families of these brothers
and sisters would acquire a large pro
portion of the estate at the death of
Fair's children, Charles, Virginia and
Mrs. Oelrichs, but under the will filed
today the brothers and sisters, and their
families would receive only the amount
of cash stated in the will and the bal
ladce of the $40,000,000 estate could be
distributed at once among the three
children of the deceased.
The Bait Was Dismissed.
Washington, March 18. The supreme
court of the United States today dis
missed a bill of the state of California
against the Central Pacific Railroad com
pany, involving possession and control
of the water front of the city of Oakland,
for the reason that it was not a case in
which the court had had original juris
diction. The court holds the city of
Oakland and' the Oakland water-front
company not being parties to the suit
the court ought not to proceed in their
absence. But even if they were- present
and included within the scope of litiga
tion, the court could not exercise original
jurisdiction, and the bill is therefore
dismissed. The effect of this decision is
that the state must renew its litigation
in another tribunal of which the supreme
court of the United States has appelate
jurisdiction.
Harlan and Brewer dissented. They
held if the supreme court would not ex
erise its original jurisdiction, in this case
it was difficult to see where it would do
so. -
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
Justice Field read a brief statement to
express regret that the controversy be
tween the state and railroad company,
owing to the limited jurisdiction of the
supreme court of the United States,
could not now be heard and finally de
termined, for the controversy would
seriously effect the interests of both un
til it was so determined. He expressed
the belief that by proceedings begun in
the state courts and reaching the
supreme court of the United States by
that route the state would speedily find
means of ending the controversy.
The Dropping; ofthe Bnlt Was Expected-
Oakland, Cal., March 28. W. R.
Davis, who represented the city of Oak
land in the water-front suit in Washing
ton, says the dropping of the suit by the
supreme court is an advantage to
neither and is merely what was antici
pated. During the hearing last Decem
ber the justices gave several plain inti- j
mations that they were likely to take
this course. Attorney-General Hart
commenced this suit against the advice
of the attorneys for the city, who did
not believe it could lead to anvresul.
There are now in court three other
water front-suits, two of which are under
submission before Judge McKenna, of
the United States circuit court, and
one before Superior Judge Ogden- De
cisions in these may be expected soon.
and whoever loses will certainly appeal
so that the water suit in a proper form
will get into the United Stati-s supreme
court again before a great while.
A W oman la lynched.
Omaha, March 18. A special to the
Bee from Butte, Neb., says: Mrs. W.
E. Halton, of Key a, Paha county, was
found dead in her house last night by
neighbors. Her body was lying on the
floor with a piece of rope 10 feet long
and a hatchet and hammer beside her.
An autopsy Bhowed that she died of
strangulation and also had been assault
ed. The woman was living alone, her
husband having been sent to an ineane
asylum. It is supposed that the motive
of lynching was to prevent the woman
from giving testimony against cattle
rustlers, as she bad been summoned as a
witness. She bore a good reputation
It was evident that she fought hard for
her life and honor, as the bedding and
clothing were torn and scattered around
the room. -
Export Taty Suspended.
.The Hague, March 18. Owing to a
heavy fall in. the price of sugar, the gov
ernment has presented a bill suspending
for one year, from June 1, the export
duty on sugar grown in the Dutch
