OF the grant. There are also severa
Indian reservations OIL the grant.
Reavis first made the claim in his Owl
name, but afterward substituted that o
his wife, Baroness de la Coidova, who
he asserts, is the great granddaughter o
Baron Miguel Peralta de Ia Cordova
The old gentleman went to Mexico il
1920 as one of the commissioners OF the
Spanish crown to investigate alleged
Interpretations OF silver from the
mines of Sonora by the Jesuits. In con
sideration of his valuable services, Mrs.
Reavis ateents. he was given the prop
erty in Arizona to which she now lays
claim by the Spanish vice regent. Soon
after coming into this property PeralIe
married Sofa Ava Maria Sanchez, from
which union Mrs. Rsayis claims to be
in direct decent.
Those who oppose the claim Of the
| Arizona baroness assert that she is the
daughter of squaw by man named
Treadwell, good for nc thing fellow who
used to loaf around Woodland When
the daughter reached sufficient years
che served as maid of all work in the
different families OF the town. When
she was about Is wears old Reavis came
to town from Missouri, and falling in
love with the dark-ekinned maiden. he
married her.
Be this as it may, Reavis succeeded in
forming a syndicate of capitalists who
had faith in his claims, and it is said
that upward OF $4,000 has already been
expended in an attempt to esta blsh its
validity. Roscoe Conklng at one time
acted as attorney for the syndicate, and
the names OF John H. Benson aud j.
Harvei Brown have at dilfsren: times
been associated with it.
In February, 1890 Surveyor General
johnson OF Arizona re ported to the inte-
ricr department at Waehipston that
there was no legal claim to the alleged
grant, whereupon Land Commissioner
Croft held that no grant OF the character
claimed was ever made. and ruled
against the petitioners at every point.
Reavs is really resident OF this city
and has brother living here who is in
the carriage business. Reavis says that
the Aroma Canal company is the real
opposition to his claim, and has epent
thousands of dollsis in buying up
claims and jumping others.
An estimate placed the value of the
land claimed by Rsavis at 800 900 900
One expression has been uttered by
nearly every one who has discu saed the
features OF the case OF late, amt that ie
that should Rsavia and bis wife ever
obtain a title to this land from tie gov
err ment and attempt to take possession.
his lifs would be taken. Some claim
that Reavis hae said he would give a
deed to every resident upon thu land for
the acreage claimed to bs owned by
each.

THE SHRIEVALTY.

Burr WAL Demand Possession OF the
III Eco Today.
As the tins approaches for The newly
elected officials to claim their seats, the
interest in regard to the shrievalty
deepens.
The question as to whether Sheriff
Cline will peacesbly vscate the Office in
favor Of his successor or not was one
discussed yesterday from every stand
point. Some thought that the matter
would have to be settled in the courts,
while others were OF the opinion that no
trou Bile OF any kind would occur an6
that Sheritf-elect Burr would take poe
session today without opposition. The
only thing definitely known is that
Burr intends to make the attempt, and
that Cline will undoubtedly resist him.
What the result will be can only be
known after the noon hour.

THERE MUST BE FAITH.
Rev. Geo. E. Dye occupied the pulpit
Of the East Los Angeles Baptist church
last night. He delivered a discourse on
Larger Thoughts Concerning God. from
the words, More than we can sek or
think"
He said that God has great things in
store for ua il we would only enter in
and claim our blessings. Without faith
it is impossible to please God. God will
reward all who are willing TO receive.
To have larger views OF God we must have
larger views of humanity. The brother
hood Of man implies the fatherhood of
God. Our privilege is to hear God's
blessed invitation, "Come up higher to
ths cleft of the rock, to the Mount of
TRANSPORTATION and get higher knowl-
edge of me-" Telescopes nre constructed
above the fogs and distur Dances OF lower
life. So faith is the upper air. Faith
opens our eyer. Just as the little child,
long blind, who had at last her sight re-
stored, eaid to her mother, as she looked
for the fret time upon the beauty OF
nature, How beautiful! Why didn't
you tell me how beautiful everything
was." So faith opens the word OF God
that we may behold wondrous things in
Gods law. To receive from God We
must ask for great things and expect
great thinga.
HOLINESS OR HELL.
At Trinity church Rev. A. @. Bane
spoke on the subject OF Holiness OF He'll.
God, said tho speaker. is at enmity with
sin in all form and it is declared in His
word that He 10 angry with the wicked
evory day. To destroy Elm and thereby
save us from its consequences in His
purposos, and to do this He gave us
Christ as q savior. Our very entrance
into heaven Is conditional upon our
purity. We must be holy in the pres
ent life. Holiness 10 not perfection, but
being fully consecrassd we must grow
into full status in Christ.

White discoursed on Thomas, the
Doubter, yesterday, and made it his

THE ENGLISH CONTRACT,

DEsPITE EFFORTS OF MEMBERS OF THE
 FRENCH CHAMBER, STANDS.
 PARIS, Feb. 2.-There was a stormy scene in the chamber of deputies today over an interpolation in in regerd to the action of General Mercier, late minister of war, in signing contract for the construction of river transports for Madagascar with an English firm.
 General Zurlinden, minister of war, ex- plained that the price asked by the English firm was 460 ,000 francs, and the Havre firms demanded over 1000, GOO francs for the work, but several deputies neverthe- less insisted upon cancelling the English contract. The uproar became so great that the sitting was suspended for time.
 After the sitting was resumed M. Lsmyre de Vilers, who was sent to Madagascar as special missioner to the Hovas govern mAnt conveying the French ultimatum, said that although he shared Vice. Presi- dent Demahy's dsapproval of the action of the former government in giving the con- tract to Englishmen, it was certain that if others made with builders in Havre, the construction. of the sloops would be de- layed SO that they would arrive in Mada- gascar too late to be of service and the suc- cess of the French expedition would be compromised.
 Admiral Bernard, minister of marine, explained that the rivers in Madagascar re- quire boats of special construction. The marine department, under the administra- tion M. Faure, not having boats of the re- quired character, were unable to effect the necessary transportation, and was there- fore bound to apply to private ship owners for them.
 The chamber then passed to the order of the day, and voted not to cancel the con- tract.

 AsHEvILLE, N. o.. Feb. 2.-Samuel A. Miller, who came from Louisville, Ky. three months ago with his family, threw himself between two coaches of the east. bound passenger train today and was crushed to death.
 MT. Miller was suffering from melan- oholia, caused, it is understood here, by business cares, and has attempted to take his life before today. He seemed for time to improve here, where he was brought in the hope that the change of climate would improve his mental condition.
 A distressing incident of the suicide was that his son stood by and tried to restrain his father as he plunged forward under the coaches, and that daughter was on the train that ran over the body.
 MT. Miller came here with fattering let ters of introduction, that al once gave him and his family entrance into the society of some of the leading families of the city and

IS THE QUESTION TO BE ANSWERED ON THE
 DEATH OF A DOCTOR.
 DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 2.-Dr. Horace Elliot Pope was found murdered at his home, No. SS Michigan avenue, this morn- ing. Pope has had an up and down career He is the graduate of two universities; was at one time very successful, but at the time of his death was living in squalid destitu- tion with his wife, child and a male nurse, William Bruso. Mrs. Pope has been suf- fering from Arrangement for more than a year, and Bruso was required to con- stantly watch her. She has been getting better for some time, but instead of being pleased Dr. Pope seemed to grow very morose and Respondent. For some time Bruso has thought that he was losing his mind.
 This morning at 8 o'clock Bruso was awakened by hearing stealthy steps in the room. He found Pope stealing through his room with candle in one hand and cloth in the other. He followed him into the room of Mrs. Pope, smelled Chloroform and saw the insane husband with the white cloth pressed to his wife's face. Pope turned to assault the nurse and fired at him. Bruso picked up hatchet to defend himself and split through the skull of Pope with 1t.
 This is the story told by Bruso, but the police think 1t was a premeditated assault on the part of Bruso. He is under arrest. Bernice Pope was sleeping in the room where the Killing took place, but she re- fuses to tell all she knows about the mat la

the queen andsa short time later went ou board the steame Athenian on his return to Cape Colony.
 To the meantime the Delago bay question becomes acute. Germany recently potihed England that the kaiser's govern meut would not allow her to occupy the bay aud it's surrounding territory.
 Portugal has already refused to sell the bay to Rhodes, or to the Cape colony, or to the British governIneut, but is willing to sell it to a company formed Of English and German capitalists. It is rumored that the Rothschilds and Mir. Rhodes are projecting 2 tremendous South African schem4 which will require capital of many millions Of pounds. The scheme is said to include the combination of all the gold mines in Wit wsterstrandt under the control of one com pany.
 The weather during the week has been phenomenally severe thron2hont igla1d. Only one mail has been able to leave CAith- ness for ten days, rnd many rural postmen have been showed up and chilled Into in- sensibility. The cold in London has been the most severe that ht' been experienced for many years and ts hungry, unem- ployed workers have suffored greatly.
 Dispatches from Rome state, upon Vati- can authority, that the pope is now mak- ing arrangements to assign special facul- ties to the apostolic delegation at Wash ingtou, making @ sort of ecclesiastical tribunal to adjudicate the differences Of Catholics and deal with priests and bishops as regards ecol esastical discipline.
 Princesses Victoria and Maude of Wales are to return to society, from which they have been absent for more than a year. They will be present at the reception to be given by the Countess Spencer at the ad- mrality on Fe bruary 4. The time for the Princess of Wales return home Is still in- definite. She has not been in England since she left a week or so before the death of the Czar Alexander.
 It is expected that Czar Nicholas and the Czarna will visit England in June. They will reside in buckingham palace during their stay as the guests of the queen, and will be present at the series of magnificent state functions which will be giv ven in their honor.
