Hawes was a self-made man, a shrewd lawyer, a man of powerful mind, original in his views and methods, but full of conceit, suspicions by nature, always unpopular, and eccentric to the verge of insanity in his later years. He became a millionaire, and by his will of 71 the year of his death at the age of 58 left the bulk of his estate for the foundation of Mount Eagle University and a Chamber of Industry, making but a comfortable provision for his heirs and relations. But the heirs, in a suit that is one of the causa* celebres of Cal., succeeded in breaking the will on the ground of the testator s insanity, and thus defeated his plans for the public good and his own perma nent fame.
