thing certain, and that is, the papers

fully attended to. A leuchily wrap-
ped newspaper makes ones eyes sore.

NOTE FOR $300,000

It Involves the Estates of Millionaires
Fair and Stanford.

SAN FRANcIsco, April 19.—Astir has

been caused in financial circles here over a

.note for $300,000 involving the Stanford

attorneys and executors of both sides. The
note was forwarded by William G. Howell
of New York, Of whom, nobody appears to
have heard, to the First National bank for
collection. Samuel. Nilson, attorney for
Mrs. Stanford, said he had not heard of it,
but admitted that it might exist. He had
not been lately engaged with the heavy
work of the estate, and consequently it
might have come to the knowledge of oth-
or members of his law firm without his at
Itcntion being called to it.

J. S. Angus, one of the executors of the
Fair estate, said there was such a note, but
whether genuine or not he was not pre-
pared to say. “All 'we know about it,”
said he, "is that S. G. N 11rphy, president
‘Of the First National bank, came to us
with the note. It purported to be drawn
_by Mr. Fair to the order of Leland Stan-
ford; It was for $300,000, was dated five
years ago and was than within a short
time, by its face, of being due. The sig-
natures of both Stanford and Fair appeared
good, and no one wanted to say that they
were forgerles. ”
