THE BABY HEIRESS
Of Millionaire Creole to Be Represent
ed by Special Counsel

Another complication was added to
the Creole will case yesterday when
Mrs. Bashford, the mother of Baby Dor
othy, filed a petition in the court asking
that counsel be appointed to watch and
guard the interests of the little heiress
and especially recommending to the
court one or both of her own attorneys.
Her petition was as follows:
Edith Scott Bashford represents and
shows to the court:
THAT she is the mother of Edith Dor
othy Creole; that the said Edith Doro-
thy Creede, the child of your petitioner,
was duly adopted by N. C. Creole by a
proceeding regularly had in this court !;
that the said adoption was by the said
Creole and not the joint adoption' of the
said N. C. Creole and his wife; that N.
G. Creole is dead; that he is alleged to
have left a will which has been filed for
probate in this court; that letters of
administration have also been applied
for in the estate by the widow of the
said n. G.. Creole; that controversies are
likely to arise concerning the appoint
nlent of an administrator and the pro-
bate of the said will; that by the terms
of the said will the said Edith Dorothy
Creole is the residuary legatee; that
the said Edith Dorothy is a minor, only
about ~ years DID, that the said al
legged will purports to have appointed
one William Phifer the guardian of the
person and estate of the said Edith
Dorothy without bonds, but your pc
titioner never gave any consent to such
appointment, and besides the said Will
liam Phifer is witness to the said will,
and there will doubtless be controversies
concerning the due execution of the will,
and your petitioner believes that it is fit
and proper that some attorney should be
appointed as the attorney of the said
minor, to appear for her in these pro-
ceedings and that such appearance
should be made in order that such attor-
neys may have notice of the proceedings
hereafter taken, that they may protect
the interests of the said minor; that your
petitioner is not advised concerning the
validity of the said will, but believes
that the value of the estate which would
be taken under it, or, in case it were not
admitted to probate, the value of the
estate which would be taken by the said
minor would be very considerable and
amount to more than 100000, though

AN ODD COUPLE
A Husband Suing His Wife, But N OF
for Divorce

Generally when the differences be-
tween a husband and wife reach the
acute or fighting stage one or the other
is about ready to apply for a divorce
But there are exceptions, and such one
bobbed up in court yesterday.
Matthew L. Hansen and Minnie A.
Hansen have been married for seventeen
years. and during that time have ac-
quired the westerly half of lot 7, block
10, of the Los Angeles Homestead tract
On the 18th Of July of this year the hus-
band executed deed making over to his
wife his interest in the above piece of
property the consideration being a YER
bal agreement that she should deed to
him the interest she possessed in %
acres of land in the Rancho Canyada
Larga, in Ventura county. After the
first deed had been made the wife turned
aroud and promptly and peremptorily
refused to convey the Ventura property
to her husband.
At least that is the story told by the
husband in the complaint filed yester-
day. wherein he asks that she be com
PEELED to reconvey to him his interest in
the city lot, and that the same be de
clared community property.
The herald., 1897-07-28

your petitioner IS not informed as to
the exact value of said interest
Your petitioner further shows that
she has filed petition in this court for
the appointment of herself as guardian
of the person and estate of the said in
FAINT; that she has employed Messrs
Roger johnson of San Francisco, and
j. s. Chapman of Los Angeles as her
attorneys to represent her in the matter
of the said application for said guardian
ship and believes that they would be
proper persons to be appointed attorneys
for the said minor in the said estate and
she therefore asks that they be appoint
ed as attorneys to represent the said
minor
The matter came up before Judge AL
len and he acquiesced to the prayer of
the petitioner and appointed ]. S. Chap
man as counsel to watch the interests of
the minor.
The amount of interest and specula-
ton that the affairs of the deceased
millionaire is causing around the court
house is really remarkable. No one save.
presumably, the parties directly con-
cerned quite understand the relation. in
legal sense. existing between the
mother of little Dorothy, the child her
self and the fortune left to her by Creole.
In cases of adoption the parents of
minor make voluntary transfer of their
claims upon their offspring and the child
from thence on stands in the same rela-
ton to the people who have adopted it
as if it had actually been born to them.
If that is so, then. al first glance, Mrs.
Bashford would have no standing in
court, for while little Dorothy is her
daughter, by birth, she was legally the
daughter of old man Creole, ard is now
occupying the position of heiress to the
bulk Of his estate by virtue of that fact
In such event it might be expected that
her person and estate would be guardian
by the next of kin, or whoever stood
closest to the deceased. If the widow
should successfully make the fight she
has inaugurated over the will, then she
would be the natural guardian of little
Dorothy; but right there point of van
tage is afforded Mrs. Bashford, for she
claims that Dorothy was adopted by
Creole without the consent of his wife
In such case it would be quite natural
that the court should hand the guardian
ship of the child back to its natural
mother if she is able to care for it. The
latter consideration does not cut much
figure in this case, however, for the
court will certainly make an allowance
from the childs estate, after the smoke
of battle has cleared away, for her sus-
tenance in a manner BETTING the sta
ton in life that the fortune lefs her will
enable her to fill in the future

THE MONTARIOL CASE
Further Complications Being Injected
Into It

The further hearing in the trunk mys-
terry case was continued yesterday af-
ternoon before Judge Smith and jury
This is the case in which it appeared
when the trial began last week that
Montariol ard a fellow ledger named
Frank Paillac kept their coin in the de-
PENDANTS trunk, that belonging to Pail
lac being unlockable. They never kept
an account, and when Montariol skipped
out one day and did not return, Paillac
looked in the trunk for his money, which
did not appear to be as much as he ex-
pected.
The defendant was being tried. on the
charge of grand larceny, but the testi-
moEy of Paillac when upon the witness
stand seemed to negative such a charge
| Being asked by the court how he would
have regarded the matter if some out
slider had stolen his money, he replied
that as Montariol had it in his cargo he
would have held him responsible. That
indicated that the money had been CIV
en- in trust to the defendant and that if
the latter appropriated it to his own use
he committed enlightenment and not
grand larceny. During an argument yes
terday the jury being retired for the
purpose, Judge Smith stated, that he had
inclined to the embezzlement theory,
but as witnesses during the morning
had stated that the money was deposit
ed in a trunk upstairs in a room that
was locked, and that the defendant had
gone to the plaintiff and obtained from
him the key to the room, he was of the
opinion that the original charge of grand
larceny was the proper one. In any case
the question was one for the jury, and
the whole question of illegal posse sson"
in whose possession the money actu-
ally was-would be placed before, the
jury in the instructions.
Upon the opening of its case by defense
it incidentally came out during the ex-
animation of Mrs. Perrot, the owner of
the bakery where both Montariol and
Paillac worked and in whose house ad-
joining they lived, that the upstairs
room was open to anyone and so easily
accessible that short time before Mon
tariol went away a wheel belonging to
him was stolen from that self-same
room.
The further hearing in this complcat-
ed suit will he continued today.

plore for oil by sinking well. About u
week ago young Schmidt and friend
went out from the city to where Uhrig
was at work and gave him a heavy
raking down for being there, and want
ed to know by whose authority he was
working, etc. He became so abusive
that Uhrig resented the language by
knocking young Schmidt down. The
friend of the latter then sailed in and
as he was a great big fellow, it seems
as if he would have everything his way.
But Uhrig's partner, being assailed,
nipped up a piece Of pipe and laid the
big fellow out fiat on his back. Indeed,
the blow caught him in such bad
place that he had to be removed to the
Schmidt home, where he is now recuper-
aing.
Schmidt was going to have Uhrig ar
rested, and the latter did have Schmidt
arrested, but with the dismissal of the
case yesterday the whole difficulty, most
likely, will blow over.

A CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION

1--WE are going to carry on campaign
of education remarked one Of the com
mittee. 81 mean by that expression
that we are going to educate the masses
to the necessity of spending and keeping
their money at home. When we succeed
in introducing home products in every
home in Southern California the cry
of hard times and lack of employment
will no longer be heard When we can
find a market for our goods in the east
the practice of buying imported articles
is simply suicidal to this section. We
are going to deal with this proposition
in a systematic and thorough manner,
ard the outcome. will be greatly bene-
fetal not only to the manufacturer but
to the retailer and the consumer. We
can keep hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in Southern California that are now
spent on eastern and European goods
That amount will pay the labor of a
great many men and women and will
keep the merchant in cash. We have a
big contract on our hands, but we feel
that success will crown our efforts"
