canyon. aud two miles from the Napa
county line, in Lake county.
al have no adequate words to cx-
press the maguiHceuco Of the place,
nor its surroundings, The soil is very
fertile and the scenery is perfect, but
there are no roads. and taxes are very
high. Roads are needed exceedingly,
but the country is slow 1t is forty
years behind the times.
I'VE are improving the place gradu-
ALTERNATING new fences and using
the whitcwash brush. There are
several good California barns, and Mrs.
Langtry has a neat little eight-roomed
cottage 1t is just eight miles from the
little village of Middlctown. which is
Mrs. Laugtry's postotlice.
Mrs Laugtry win not be here till
June, if then. They are very anxious
to have her 20 to Europe this coming
summer aud she may 90 IL so. she
will make a tour of England and fraurh
aud return To America for her regular
fall aud winter tour. The summer of
go certain, she will spend at the
ranch
Mrs Langtry has about 800 good
graded cattle on her ranch. and 700
acres are devoted to wheat, barley, and
oats.
Fired Gebhardts ranch consists Of
5000 acres, lying also in the Coyote
valley, but separate from Mrs. Lang
trys.
"The two residences are about ono
hundred yards apart. Mr.. Gebhardt
has about one hundred graded cattle
on his ranch. There is fine lake on his
ranch, too, covering about 40 acres.
Both ranches will make magnificent
places when they are fixed up a little.
at is a popular delusion about Mrs.
Langtry's losing so much money in
that wreck on the Erie. She lost but
one horse, which, with tho trappings,
was valued at 81 800. The horse was
"a present to her, aud she thought a
great deal of him.
Erred Gcbhardt lost ten horses.
and $500, 900 wouldn't begin to- replace
them. He had repeatedly been offered
$40, 600 for Eole, aud he was but 10
years old, aud was good for $1,000 a
year for fifteen years at least, which
alone is $4,000 Then Gebhardt also
lost several fine mares and two very
superior stations. But notwithstaud-
inc this he is suing the Erie company
for but 500, probably the least
sum they would bring If the horsesnnd
equipments had been put up and
knocked down under the hammer
Mr.. Ably said the suit was set for
hearing in January. Matt Storms,
who was So seriously injured at tho
same time in this wreck, and who lost
his horse Grover Cleveland, was
present as Mr. Ably referred 70 the
Lauguy-Gebhardt losses. He said that
his suit for 100000 for injuries to him
self would also be heard in January.
Mr.. Storms is badly crippled and is
constantly under the doctors care.
