Emerlck was survived by several brothers but by no direct de scendents. The plaintiff alleges he Is a. dlreot descendent of one of these ' brothers. The will was probated In New York and In 1849 a Judicial determination of the heirs was made but the court refused to distribute the estate and decreed It-must remain in trust until 1008 as provided by the win.

Relative to the "order ot distribu tion," Mr. Emerlck says, "It is not . in my possession, but wish It was." Be characterized the charge as . groundless, - Emerlok, former mayor of this olty, and well known,' has been Interested In the case for the past four years. A suit Is now pending In the New York State courts on the matter.

The Ever Ready Ulrole of th Pres byterian church will hold a rummage sale In th Holly Bldg. Oct. 6th and 1PUH. XB ftogal, en", Ul-X, Cement blocks and a watch dog, yesterday afternoon, entered the Ewlng-Sanford row, which has been brewing In the Ashland district for more than a week, and as a result, Mrs. Harry Ewlng. upon whom most of the blocks landed, Is In the Bac- red Heart hospital receiving treat ment for head and back Injuries. Th contested right of the Ewlngs to use the road, which passes through the Floyd Sanford ranch. Inspired the battle. It Is alleged. With face and bead covered with blood and bruises, Mrs. Ewlng ac companied her husband to the coun ty court house here to exhibit the latest developments In the contro versy. She was Immediately trans ferred to the hospital, where the ex- tent of her lnjurlea has not been determined. The Ewlngs' visit at County Judge Sparrow's office was preceded earlier in the day by a call from the San- fords, who asked the aid of the Judge and district attorney In keep ing th Ewlngs off their road. They were Instructed as during previous interviews to start Injunction pro ceedings If they had cause. They returned to Ashland. A little later the Ewlngs arrived, showing gory signs or defeat. Mrs. Ewlng was approaching the mall box when attacked by Mrs. San ford, according to her story. When her husband attempted to come to her aid, Mr. Sanford and his dog appeared on wo scene. The dog was set on Ewlng and followed by a shower of cement blocks, most of which was Intercepted by Mrs. Ew lng. Just what brought the battle to an end was not told, but Mrs. Ewlng was knocked down and all "but dragged out" before the cli max. Earl Smith and Paul Held accom panied Mr. and Mrs. Ewlng to Medford. The disputed road Is off Walker avenue running east. It passes through the Sanford ranch and forms th only entrance to the Ew lng property. The Ewlngs call it- public" and the Sanfords oall It "private." The latter, while calling on the Judge this morning, stated that the Ewlnge had twisted down their fence to cross the road and then "flapped their wings and crow ed about It." The Sanfords are recent arrivals In the valley from Mexico and so the story goes "figured to show the Ewlngs how laws art, made in their country." The cas Is strictly one w.hlch in volves private rights and Just what action the district attorney will take, now that the battle has become more ,than verbal, was not announc ed yesterday. mm TO HOLD PORTLAND MEET 1792 CARS PEARS 86 APPLES TOTAL SHIPMENTS SO FAR Total pear shipments for the Rogue river valley to date, Including 258 cars of cannery Bartletts, total 1702 cars, and 86 cars of apples.
