<p>Guabdianship—Jurisdiction—Conflict.—A petition for letters of guardianship of a minor was filed in tho Superior Court of the city and county of San Francisco, stating that tho minor was a resident of such city and county, but was temporarily at school in Alameda County. A citation was issued and served upon all tho parties interested requiring . them to appear and show cause why the petition should not be granted. Before the day fixed for the return of the citation, one of the parties on whom it had been served applied to the Supei ior Court of Alameda County for letters of guardianship of tho minor, which were issued to him, the fact of the previous application not being brought to the knowledge of the court. Held, that as the Superior Court of the city and county of San Francisco had jurisdiction to hear and determine the question of the residence of the minor, the need of a guardian, and the propriety of appointing the petitioner, it could not be deprived of this jurisdiction by the subsequent proceedings in the Superior Court of Alameda County.</p>
