GILRoY, December 30th.-The Las Animas
Ranch, on which Gilroy IL situated is un-
divided, but a snit fer a pal tition is now pend
ing. Henry Miller owns 1000 or 1900
acres, or about half the rancho, and Ju1ge
Wallace, of San Francisco, also owns $50
acres of the rancho; hut has been in possession
OF no property. He sometime ago sold his
interest to Judge Hastings. to whom the
Court granted writ of restitution, and he
took possession of 5000 acre tract belonging
to Miller. Hastings about two months ago
leased the property TO some Portuguese, who
took possession Of a house in which lived one
of Millers tenants. Since then there
has been constant jar between the
tenants. who occupied the property in
common, each endeayoring to plow and
seed the land. The frst CT this
week Il. B. Wallace came down with two
men, who were armed. for the evident pur-
pose Of making Alillsr'5 tenants get off the
property. This created little excitement
and considerable feeling, and Wallace was
advised last Tuesday by some parties in a
friendly manner to leave town, which he did.
On Wednesday the Portuguese things were
taken out of the house they occupied. and
they were advised by Miller's men TO leave
the premises. They replied that was their
intention, as they were tired of being troubled
and hindersd with their work, aud the follow
ing day left with the utensils, etc. The mat
ter has created very little excitement and no
comment here. In fact, the incidents of this
week are not generally krowp. Wallsce's
action in bringing the shoulder strikers down
to drive off Miiler's men is condemned by
the public, and your reporter is informed that
no extreme measures were contemplated by
Miller's men. The Portuguese were not ir-
timidsted, but left in disgust. There is no
disposition on the part of the people to act
in lawless manner. Miller's men are now
10 possession of the property.
