HE DEED ED 1T AWAY.

Jean Leonis Brings q Suit Which MAJ
Be Cause Celebre.
A curious complication has arisen ovel
the estate OF the late Miguel Leonis, ,wht
died in this county three years ago
leaving an estate valued at about $500,
900. A complaint was filed yesterday by
Jean Leopis va. John B. Amestoy and
Antonio Amestoy, as executors of the
will of Domingo Amestoy, deceased,
Juanita Amestoy Gless. executrix of the
will of Domingo Amestoy, Simon F.
Gless, her husband, Louisa, Pedro,
Michel, Paul J. and Elizabeth Amestoy,
which will probably result in protracied
litigation, in which there will be fat fees
for the attorneys and smaller estate
for the victore, before it is finally termin-
ated.
Jean Leonis was a brother of Miguel
Leonis, who was one of the most influ-
ential and financially solid of the
Basques in this county, and known far
and wide in California. He died Sep
tember 20, 1889, and in October of that
year his will was admitted to probate.
Since that time the estate has been in
the course of administration. Jean
Leonis was one OF his heirs and legatees,
and entitled to large portion Of the
estate. He let two years go by after his
brothers death without taking the step
which seems to have euchred him out
of his inheritance. Then, October %,
1891, he executed an absolute deed of
his interest in the estate to Domingo
Amestov. The consideration mentioned
in the conveyance was So.
In the complaint, Jean Leonis alleges
that he executed this deed for the pro-
lection and management of his interest
in the estate OF his brother. He states
that he was foreigner, understanding
very little OF the English language, and
knew nothing about American laws.
Mr.. Amestoy was an old Californian,
and he believed his interests would be
perfectly safe in his hands. There was
an understanding between them that
the deed should be made, and Mr..
Amestoy should look after the litigation
in which the estate was involved, and,
when everything was Strengthened out,
the property should be reconveyed to it's
rightful owner. This agreement was not
in the deed, which mentioned no trust,
but was absolute in its character.
Then Mr.. Amestoy died. February
10, 1892, his will was admitted to pro-
bate, and embraced in his estate was
the deed giving him the absolute con-
veyance of Jean Leonis's interest in
Miguels estate. Mr.. Amestoy was
widower at the time of his death, but he
left eight children, who looked upon the
Leonis ducats as their own, and there
was no movement on their part to carry
out Leonis's allegation of an agreement
to reconvey to him. He tried in vain to
have the facts get forth so that he would
get back his deed, and the complaint
fed yesterday brings the matter before
the superior court for adjudication. The
plaintiff prays that he be adjudged the
equitable owner of the interest; that no
title except the legal title has passed.
and that the defendants be required to
reconvey the property to him; also that
q guardian ad Item be appointed to

In this campaign candidate for pub
lie Office must of necessity stand upon
the record he has made in the previous
discharge of a public trust. This being
the case, the Democratic party of Los
Angeles county comes before the people
presenting for the honorable Office OF
sheriff the name of Martin @. Marsh, a
man against whom not one word can be
said either as to his private life or his
public record.
On the other hand, what is the record
of John @. Cline, the Republican nomi-
nee for sheriff? He has previously held
public office; the records will speak as
to the manner in which he has dis
charged his duties.
On the 4th OF November, 1884, John
@. Cline was elected township constable
for Los Angeles township. Upon the
18th day of November, 1884, he'took the
oath of office; and in January of the
year following, he entered upon the dis
charge of his duties.
ULon the Sd day OF September, 1885,
the grand jury of this county made the
following report:
To the Honorable william A Cheney, Presid-
ing Judge OF Department One;
"We have also examined the books of
all the township justices of this county,
and find many irregularities. The dis
trict attorney should investigate the
various charges. Township Justices must
indorse censtables' bills in order that
we may know them to be correct, or else
indorse on them duplicate as filed in
this Office, 80 that the honorable board
OF supervisors may investigate the same.
The grand jury states that there exists
no reason why single bill of $500 for
one month for criminal business is not
excessive.
Nv. Fl. WORKMAN, Foreman"
Upon the 2lst day OF September, 1885,
the grand jury of this county, under the
caption township Constable, reported
as follows:
eve find the books OF this Office in
such wretched condition that no con-
bills rendered to this county are correct
or not. and it is impossible for US to
determine.
1.-The district attorney informs us that
this officer was not required by law to
keep cash book. Hence, we can only
urge upon the supervisors great caution
in auditing bills from these officers.
And we recommend to the representa-
tives of this county in the legislature,
that they use their utmost endeavor to
promote the passage of law limiting
the amount to be paid to Justices AMI
conetables in criminal work in sum
not exceeding $1,000 year."
It was owing to the unceasing de-
mands of Mr.. Cline that the legislature
enacted the act placing the limit upon
what should be allowed constsbles and
Justices in criminal work.
Mr.. Cline drew out OF the treasury OF
this county, tor the two years that he
served as constable, 81. .854.60. 1t was

A GREAT GRIP.

A Large Bulldog Attacks q Harmless

element.
A lady was passing through Crown
street Saturday afternoon accompanied by
q large, savage white bulldog, and when
near Temple street the bulldog set upon a
harmless canine of the spaniel breed and
fastened its fangs into its neck. The lady
pounced upon the dog and made desper-
ate effort to break his hold upon the other
dog, pulling upon his collar with all her
strength and belaboring him with her par
asol, but the bulldog held on with vice
like grip. About this time a wagon con-
tanning two men drove up near the curb,
and the driver with well-directed blows
from his large rawhide rained blow after
blow upon the head of the brute, but with
out avail. The men then alighted and
with determination thumped the dog with
the butt of the whip and pounded it with a
heavy stick of wood and then succeeded in
making him release his hold. The lady
then dragged the angry brute into house
near by on Crown street, while the injured
dog left the neighborhood at a rapid gait.

The harvest truly is plentious, for hu-

not SO very great except here and there

These are the needs which labor has
chiefly sought to supply in all the past,
