. . 11111713 WILL oo’NTEs'r. Jury In San Francisco Declares the Dil- puted Document Good. 'San'Francisco, Aug. 18. ——At an early ’ hour today the jury in the Davis will contest returned a verdict finding that the disputed testamentary document was genuine. If the will is now admitted to probate by Judge Coffey, an estate valued at millions will‘be divided between Mrs. Belle Curtis and her sister, Miss Lizzie Muir. Mrs. .Curtis is the wife of ex- Assemblyman- John Curtis. The" case was stubbornly: fought by eastern relatives of the Dayises, who claimed that the Will offered for probate was a forgery. Jacob Z. Davis arrived here in early days, formed a copartnership with Alex Boyd and became a millionaire. When he died in the Continental hotel, Phila- delphia, last October, he was in the act of dictating a will disposing of his prop-. erty. It was then believed that he had. died intestate. A search of his personal effects in this. city resulted in the finding of two wills leaving all his property to his wife, but as she had died several years before him, the wills were not of any value. Some four or five weeks after his death a paper purporting to be his will. was filed for probate in Judge Coffey’ s court. The will was brief, and disposed of the vast estate in a few words. Belle Curtis and Miss Lizzie Muir were named as the lIegatees. A contest was at once begun by relatives of Mr. Davis who live in the east. They asserted that the paper offered for probate was a forgery, and they asked in their petition that it be denied probate. The will was found in an urn contain-- ing the ashes of Mrs. Davis. The con- testants declared that the. paper had been slipped into the urn by the forgers and that it had been drawn several weeks after the death of Davis. -The urn containing the ashes was brought into court and made an exhibit in the case. When the verdict was announced At- torney Hagg erty at once moved that the will be not admitted to probate, not- withstanding the finding of the jury that the paper was genuine. He claimed that there was no evidence to prove that i had been legally executed. Jud e Coffey said that he would listen . to the argument and pass on the ques— tion of admitting the will to probate. If he decides to admit_Iand accept the dis- puted paper“ the estate will be divided between me: Ourtis and Miss Muir, as they are the only ones named in the paper that; the jury declared is genuine.

The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire must be regarded as a distinct improvement in bicycle tire. construction. It has the following ad- vantages: While punctures in it (can be re- paired with plugs, or semi-liquid in- jections, as well as in any other single-tube tire, it can" be permanent/,1 repaired by using the‘ quick-repai1 See cut No. 1 - By injecting M. & W. quick-repaii cement through the puncture, ant: then pressing down on the ,tire with the thumb, as in cut No. 2, the repair No. 3. ' No.2. strip inside is picked up by the cement, thus closing the puncture, as in out No. 3. , The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the way in which it is made. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a sieve.” Many tires rot, because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric' is proof against moisture. Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. . Ask any bicycle dealer whether other i«ires last as long as Morgan & Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means. Morgan & Wright tires are repaired free of charge, at the factory in Chicago or at any of the Morgan & Wright free repair shops, located in1 ‘he principal cities. N. B.—When you have a puncture, get right off. Riding a tire flat, when it has a tack .or nail in it, may . 'amege it considerably. T 151 E EvE N1 N G 'G A z E TT E JBOSTON NQRWALK. Soholizo’s Market.
