A CELEBRATED CASE Judge BREEN Decides in Favor of the Defendant, Abel SOBERANES. The suit of Benito SOBERANES, as guardian ad litem for his mother, against Abel SOBERANES has just been decided by Judge BREEN. The action was commenced for the purpose of setting aside a certain deed of gift made by Mrs. Ysabel B. DE SOBERANES conveying to her son Abel 3950 acres of the Soledad ranch and certain othe real estate in the town of Monterey estimated to be worth $100,000. The complaint alleged that Mrs. SOBERANES was, at the time of making the conveyance, of unsound mind and mentally incompetent to transact business. Mr. DELMAS of San Francisco and Don Miguel SMITH appeared as counsel for the guardian ad litem, MYRICK & DEERING and WEBB & KEARNEY were the attorneys for Abel SOBERANES, and W. M. E. PARKER and Thos. RENISON represented Mrs. SOBERANES, who denied that her son Benito had any authority to institute the proceedings. The decision confirms the deed to Abel SOBERANES, and this reinstates him as the lawful owner of one of the finest ranches in M! onterey county. The TRIBUNE congratulates him on his victory.

She suffered intese pain for several days, but at the present writing she is in a fair way to recover from the effects of the explosion. Watsonville Rustler STABBED IN THE ARM.
