San BERNARDINo, Jan. 4.-Chino ranch
matters are undergoing some sort of a
''shake-up," though the exact nature of
the movements being made are difficult to
ascertain. The rumor is that the chino
Ranch company has defaulted on a pay
ment, either of interest or principal, and
that the property may again pass to other
hands.
If there are any people in this city who
are familiar wi the new developments
they have 80 far succe eded in concealing
the fact. Attorney William Gird has been
out of town siuce Thursday, and it is
learned that when he left here he went to
Chino, and, as he is Richard Gird's repre-
sentative, IL is supposed that he has been
called there in connection with Chino ranch
matters.
1t is now a little more than year since
the Chino ranch was sold by Richard Grid,
the purchaser being G. H. Phillips of San
Luis Obispo. Soon after that The Chino
Ranch company was organized, and has
since manage he property.
the transaction was supposed to be a
million dollar deal, and was, of course, not
a spot cash sais', although the details OF
the contract, which was drawn up by A.
torney William Gird of this city and Judge
Variel of Los Angeles, have never been
made public.

One OF the features of the mansion
is the mammoth fireplace in the art
hall, which required three years to
complete, and is in itself work of art.
Another feature is the great marble
plunge bath, which is in the basement
and extends under Fifth avenue.
Mr.. Huntington, it is said, has always
had a supsrstitious aversion to occupy
ing the house, believing that he would
die shortly after he entered it. This, it
is said, cansed him to offer it for sale,

ferred to build for themselves.
