Craven, who claims to have been married to the late Jumes G. Fair and is suing to obtain: part of the $20,000,000 estate heleft. Last Wednesday, Town Recorder Simpton of Sausalito admitted that while Justice of the Peace in 1892 he. lawfully married Mrs. Nettie Craven to James G. Fair. She claimed there was’ also a former contract marriage between them. He now affirms in Judge Hunt’s court that he never performed such a ceremony. His story is that she offered him $10,000 if he would testify to the wedding, and that he consented to do so iatending to expose her when the proper time arrived. Mrs. Oraven says that Simpton’s latest story. is a fabrication and that he really married her to'Fair. FLORISTON PLYBRS. Eastern Nevada County's New Town Furnishes Some Readable News. Mrs. W. P.
