THE STRAWN WILL CONTEST Decedent Alleged to Have Been Incompetent ANOTHER WILL IS SI 10 EXIST Delayed Habeas Corpus Application of A.

G. Sanchez DEPRIVED OF HIS CHILDREN Who Are Now Being Confined in tbe Mercy Home Tbe Couoty Clerk Tangle Straightened Out lo Kern County IX P. Callender Shows Up and dives Bonds to Keep the Peace Purchaser Objects to Pay for a Luxurious rtaatel. Court Notes and News Litigation is usually an expensive luxury, and the party successful In a suit generally suffers heartburnings that minimize the satisfaction felt In gaining a judgment. But ail the same the seesaw scales of justice are kept'wobbling pretty well all the year round.

Yesterday a suit was filed to contest the will of Enos Strawn, who died in July of the present year, having real estate and personal property valued at $10,000. Application to probate the will was recently made, and now the complaint In a suit of contest has also been placed on record. The contestants are Maud, Mary. Laura and Teddy Dodd. children of Kale Dodd, deceased, who was daughter of Enos and Sarah Strawn.

and application in their behalf is being made by their guardian. It is claimed that on March in. 1893, the date of the will in contest. Er.os and Sarah Strawn were owners of certain property, and that in consideration of certain bequests upon the part of the wife, purporting to have been made by her and not otherwise, the husband, Knos signed the will that is now disputed. But it is alleged that Sarah Strawn was not at that time of mind, nor in any way competent to make any bequest.

For separate cauioe ls claimed also that Enos Strawn was also incompetent at that date and not of a s. mud and disposing mind, and, as if that were not enough, it is further alleged that the will itself that has been offered for probate is not the last will and testament of the deceased Enos. The contestants furthermore seem to indicate the existence of another will, for they allege that they are unable to state the date of or provisions contained In such testament, inasmuch as the said instrument has not been In their possession. AN ELECTION CONTEST Supreme Court Decision Settling County Clerk Tangle in Kern County The supreme court has handed down a decision in the contest for the office of county clerk of Kern county. An election contest was instituted by N.

E. Packard, plaintiff and appellant, against F. Craig, defendant and respondent, and judgment vent for the defendant, from which judgment plaintiff appealed, and also from the refusal of the sourt to grant a motion for a new trial, which Packard made, or attempted to make. This appeal was not taken until more than sixty days after the judgment was rendered. The main point for a reversal made by the appellant is that the decision was not justified by the evidence.

But respondent contended that the evidence could not be reviewed, first, because the appeal was not taken until sixty days after judgment was rendered, and, second, because in the procedure a motion for a new trial could not be entertained. He objected to any proceedings being taken with reference to the motion for a new trial, and one of the grounds for denying it was that a motion for a new trial had no place in the action. The supreme court holds that the contention of the respondent that the evidence cannot tie reviewed is sustained. "This question," says the supreme court, "was thoroughly considered and disposed of by the court in the case of Dorsey vs. Barry, 4 Cal.

449. That case reviewed the act of ISSO. upon the subject of contested election proceedings, to be found in Wood's digest, 3SO-2. That act was the same as the provisions of the code of civil procedure upon the subject, commencing at section 1111 and extending to section 1127. In Dorsey vs.

Barry the court said: 'The act itself provides a complete mode of procedure, leaving but little, if anything, dependent upon Implication of the common law powers of the The court, after reviewing the whole question, and saying that in any event the proceeding would be void unless the special term provided for in that act had been extended, then says: 'Even in the event that the court was still holding the special term, the order granting the petitioner's motion for a new trial was without authority and void. The statute has not made provision for the re-examination of the issues of law or of fact in that court, but has expressly provided for the taking of an Tin- court declares that the proceeding is a summary one, wholly statutory in' its nature, and intended to be expeditious anil not encumbered by the delays which would be occasioned by such proceedings as a motion for a new trial. "Mr. Hayne, in his work upon New Trials, vol. 1, par.

5, says I hat from ills examination, 'the decision in Dorsey vs. Barry has never been and it may. therefore, lie taken to be the settled rule that there can be no motion for a new trial of nn election We have not been referred to any case since the decision in Dorsey vs. Barry where the court has been asked to entertain a motion for a new trial in such a case: and it will observed tbat in nearly all the other special and summary statutory provisions, express authority is given to use the proceeding of a motion for a new trial, while In the case of contested election, the appealing party is confined to nn appeal from the judgment. Tbe cases cited by the appellant are cases which merely involve- the constitutional right of this court to entertain an appeal from a judgment in a contested election case.

We, therefore, hold that the court below was right in refusing to entertain the motion for a new trial in the case at bar. Section 1126, cede of civil procedure, provides that: 'Either party aggrieved by the judgment of the court may appeal therefrom to the supreme court, as in other cases of appeal thereto from the superior and, therefore, an appeal from the superior court to the supreme court in a contested election case is subject the provision that upon such appeal the point that the decision is not sustained by the evidence, cannot be raised unless such appeal shall have been taken SL thm ixty days tllL Judgment. Therefore, in the case at bar we cannot uiejuire or not the Judgment to LOS ANGELES HERAID: TUESDAY MOBNING, AUGUST 25, supported by the evidence, and there ls no doubt that the findings support the judgment. "The only question, therefore, ls whether or not the' court erred in mitting certain evidence offered by the I respondent and objected to by tho apl pcllant. A number of witnesses were I culled wbn were officers of election at i several precincts In the county, whotes- I testified that the elections at the several i precincts wertj properly conducted, that the ballots were properly counted, and the tally sheets properly filled up.

etc. Whatever weight might or should be given tn such evidence, It certainly had I some relevancy to the matters at Issue, nnd cannot be said to be incompetent. The fact which tin-appellant endeavors to show is that a count of the ballots themselves received by the court In evij dcr.ee. shows a majority for the appelj lant; but under the views above exj pressed, that fact cannot be inquired into. There is nothing In the findings I themselves which shows that state of facts, Therefore, upon the face of the i record as it presents itself to us in this ease, we can see no reason for reversing the judgment.

The judgment and order appealed from are alllrmed. LITTLK ONES CONFINED A Father Seeks to Recover Possession of His Children by Habeas Corpus An appllcatlo nfor a writ of habeas corpus was made yesterday by A. G. Sanchez in department one, but inasmuch as Judge Smith is away on tion, the matter was permitted to go over for one week, on the chance that an agreement be reached outside of the court. There are divorce proceedings pending between husband and wife, and In the interim the wife has placed the two children, offspring of the marriage, beyond the reach of the husband and father.

In the petition lt is alleeged that Leo, n. child of 5 years, and Viola, aged 10 years, are being detained by the Sisters of Mercy at the instigation of Mrs. Mary E. Sanchez, at the Mercy home. Jn this city.

The father has sought to see the little ones, to take them out for recreation and to provide them with the necessaries of life, but on each and every occasion he has been met with refusal at the home. There having been no decree of any judge or order of court made awarding the custody of the children to anyone, or taking them away from the fatehr, the petitioner claims that'he is entitled to their custody and control, and that their detention by the Sisters is unlawful. Inasmuch as it wasbel'eved the children were about to be removed from the city for the purpose of depriving the petitioner of his rights, the present action was instituted. TO KEEP THE PEACE Callender Furnishes $503 Bind to Keep From Thumping Hill M. P.
