If -Vs vs SANTA ROSA PRESS DEMOCRAT, TUESDAY, AUGUST 28, 1923 Here and There IE Mendocino Man Charges Fraud in Price Estate; Administrator Upheld $55 PER 11 GRAPE OFFER MADE HERE ENROLLS YOU MARY PLEAS TOW GUN Lightning Butts In onRadio ave, Shocks S. R. Bpy While worWng with his radio receiving set during the electrical storm Monday morning, Claire McLeod, son of Mr. and Mrs. J.

H. McLeod of 710 McDonald avenue, received a severe shock when a bolt of lightning apparently came in on the same wave length and sent a charge of electricity through the radio apparatus. The boy was nearly knocked off his feet, but otherwise escaped unhurt. 5 ft twi of ring t.itp, 1 bv The final account of Walter F. Price, as administrator of the estate of the late Edmund V.

Price, as allowed recently by the court, will stand, despite the protest of A. S. Price of Philo, Mendocino county, according to the decision of Judge Ross Campbell made Monday. After Price had made hid report and it had been allowed, S. Price, a brother of deceased, petitioned the court to reopen the case to allow him to make objections to a number of items contained in the report.

The court holds that under the law this cannot be done. A. S. Price alleges that Walter F. Price wilfully and fraudulently concealed from the court the fact that he was at the time of the death of Edmund V.

Price and for nearly a year prior, associated with him as co-partner in fruit growing, farming and ranching near Guerneville, and as a co partner had no right to serve as administrator in the estate. Objection, is made to a claim by Walter Price for $810, alleged to be due him for services in working the ranch, despite the fact that he was a co-partner and not a hired man. An exception is also made to an item of $228 for rental of land, and another of for miscellaneous expenses in running the ranch and selling crop, which petitioner declares is a charge against the partnership and not against deceased. Counsel for the' petitioner asserts the administrator perpetrated a fraud upon him and on the court, therefore urges the court to grant relief, but the oourt holds that the law and all rulings of the higher courts are to the effect that the settlement of an account and allowance thereof by the court is conclusive against all persons, except those laboring under any legal disability. There is quite a little bidding for grapes now in progress in Sonoma county.

It was ascertained Monday that prices are ranging from $50 to $65 a ton, according to variety. It was estimated Monday that possibly 250 carloads have so far been contracted this season, leaving the great bulk of the big crop of grapes yet to be sold. One buyer over the week end was offering $55 fcer ton cash with a possible raise early this week to $57.50 per ton. Some grapes have sold at a higher figure, but the price has included some Alicante Bouchets, which always demand the highest price. 0 in i ow that mil the and tjj ned tin 1 lu George Cabaniss Jr.

Boyes Monday. Under the new law it becomes hie duty to issue all permits for the carrying of revolvers and pistols in territory In Sonoma county outside of incorporated cities and towns. Until people began to seek permits, Slieritf Boyes says, he had no idea that there had been such a promiscuous carrying of weapons And I suppose, sheriff, among the number are some people who have no business to be carrying weapons," he was asked, Yes, it would surprise you to know some of the people who have been packing revolvers," said the sheriff. It is easy to suppose that not all of those seeking permits will get I then. The law makes the sheriff jand chiefs of police or city marshals of the cities and towns, in 'a measure responsible for the per- mits that are issued.

I -I Sheriff Boyes to date has had i scores of applicants for permits I So far he has issued none as he has not received the proper blunks 'required by the law, but is expect- ing them any day now.
