L IaHCnO Interest III uDe estate nor to per-
nit him to execute deeds to any one of
the family. any such tranactions to be
considered void by the agreement. Both
guardians solemnly agreed to take no adj
vantage of Yndart's mental incapacity.
In 1879 Antonio Coronel filed what
purported to be the list will OF his father
Ygnacio. This was contestd by Mrs.
Cooley. Manuel +. Coronel and Frank
Sabichi, but the suit was compromised,
and it is alleged that in settling with his
kindsmen Antonio violated his trust and
dcfrauded Pancho Gndart of his interest
in the estate which was one fifth of the
whole. by procuring from the young man
deed for all that was coming to him.
In 1884, Manuel f. Coronel having
learned that Antonio. in defiance of the
agreement made with their dying sister,
had obtained Pancho's share in the estate
OF the Coronels by getting him to deed it
away to him. commenced q suit, reciting
all the facts in the case, butt at the time
the whereab bouts of the agreement were
unknown because no one knew that it
had been given by Mrs. Yndart to Mrs.
Garfas, who was then in Mexico. 1t
was only after this lady heard of Don
Antonio F. Coronel's demise that she
recollecetd the paper. Efforts were made
to have the suit dismissed Antonio and
his nephew visited Major Bells office and
1ndart declared that he wanted the suit
dlmlssed. Coronel said that he had lived
in peace and wanted to die in peace.
What sense W there in bringing this suit
when 1T was well known that Pancho was
his son. that he was his heir and would
get all the property Later on anyway?
In the meantime petition had been
brought in the superior court asking for
the appointment OF Louis Labory as guar
ddlan tc the estate and person of Pancho
1ndart, who was declared to be in
sane and unable to look after his estate
j Shaw rG ba tos IN tl,a
case carefully and decided that the young
man mind was weak, and that he was
nardly aDle 10 manage his own business
but that he was not insane. The petition
was dismissed and Smith and Winder,
the attorneys also dismissed Manuel
Coronels suit after they had been paid
$1,000 for moneys expended and for their
fees.
Pancho Yndart during ali this time
took life easy. lie had no thought above
fiddle and bow, and good time was
worth to him all the cash BOXES full of
silver. Rancho was II natural born mu-
sician. kind of male Trilby. for while
he could learn TO play any tune. he was
as deaf as post. After the suit had been
compromised Pancho Yndart did not
seem to be persona grata at the Coro-
nels home any longer. ana lie was given
money to go away. Pancho wandered
away to Seattle where he fiddled for
living and for diversion in saloons and
dance houses, being sober som metlmes and
intoxicated as often as convenient. lie
was still in Seattle when hls uncle died
ana communicated with friends here.
One day Mrs. Mariana W. de Coronel,
the aunt by marriage of Pancbo. sur
prised him by arriving at the principal
hotel at Seattle and sending for him. lie
was gwen short time to bundle up his
belongings and before he knew it he was
on his way back to Los Angeles He
alleges that his aunt kept him IN the
know that he had returned. While he
was at her home she made him sign an
agreement dated October 4. 1894. by which
he relinquishe6 all the rights he might
have to the estate of the deceased An
tonic, consideration of receivn the
interest payable from time to time. upon
a sum of S27O0. which was to be placed in
one of the Los Angeles banks. Then he
was given a $40 piece and allowed to walk
back again to whiskey and violin music.
On the 9th of April. 1895, John r. kam-
lrez was appointed guardian to Pancho
Gndart, who was still remaining as in
competent as ever. and this party brought
suit against Mrs. Coronel. the execuirix,
to have all contracts made by Pancbo re-
scnded. to have judgment establishing
the fact that she holds the title to an un-
divided one-iifth OF the lands described
and Tor conveyance the1 eof. and for the
