HEIR TO LARGE ESTATE
JOHN II. BAILEY COMING TO
CLAIM PROPERTY
Big Fight to Be Inaugurated-Lands
in Santa Barbara and San Mateo
Counties Involved

During the next few weeks there prom
ises to be inaugurated one of the hottest
and most interesting legal battles that
has taken place in Southern California
for long time. Preliminary steps In
the case will be taken within week or
ten days, when John H. Bailey arrives
here from Little Rock, Arkansas. He
has recently come of age and will, with
the assistance Of well-known solicitor
of Los Angeles, commence proceedings
to obtain possession of a fortune which,
until few months ago, he did not learn
belonged to him.
1t seems that during the early part of
the summer of 1873, Alexander Bailey,
then a well-known and highly respected
citizen residing near Santa Barbara
died, leaving an estate consisting Of VAL
liable ranch property, live stock, ETC., IN
Santa Barbara county, estimated to be
worth about SIS, 900, and also many acres
Of land under high state of cultivation
located in San Mateo county, valued at
$4,000. After his death, his wife, Mar
garet Bailey, was appointed admins
tratrix of the estate without bonds, and
as there were supposed to be no children
she fell heir to the entire estate.
In the spring of 1877 the death of Mrs.
Bailey occurred. and the property went
to her relatives, who were then scatter
ed in Santa Barbara, Ventura and Los
Angeles counties. One Of the lucky heirs
OF the latter county was John w. Shoulte
who at that time was resident of this
city, his share amounting to about
SIS, 900.
Young Bailey claims, so the story goes,
that his father formerly resided in Ar
kansas with his mother, but the latter
died when he was quite young, leaving
some property. The father sold the old
farm for $500, came to California and
with the money purchased the land
which has since become so valuable For
a time a correspondence was carried on
between the father and his brother, with
whom he had left his little son, but later
letters ceased coming, and all trace of
the former was lost until few months
ago. when Mr.. Bailey made diligent in
quiry of every county clerk in California
and was finally rewarded by receiving a
letter from H. H. Doyle clerk Of Santa
Barbara county, which informed him of
the death of one Alexander Bailey ana
the valuable property he left to his Wild
ow. A letter was also received from the
clerk of San Mateo county which told Of
rich estate left to Mrs. Nancy Bailey
by her husband
The younger Bailey says he has reason
to believe that his father never told his
second wife of his existence, or he would
no doubt have been provided for in her
will. He comes to California with strong
financial backing and with determine
ton to fight for his rights to the highest
tribunal If necessary.

catarrh 5, Month md f,edlc,o. n,..

| Among the long list of chronic diseases
which affect the human frame, Chronic Ca
tarrh is the most offensive, most productive
of discomfort, and most liable to variety
OF dangerous complications In its develop
ment the senses OF smell, taste, hearing and
| sight suffer more or less, the throat and
lungs become implicated, and consumption
is very frequently the result
Catarrh is a chronic Inflammation of the
mucous membrane lining the air passages
of the head, attended BY profuse foetid
discharge. which is thrown or through the
nose, or dropped into the throat and there
hawked up or swallowed into the stomach.
The earliest symptom OF nasal catarrh is
a discharge from the nose and so copious
and offensive is the discharge in many
cases, that patients feel as II the whole head
was In state Of corruption. Much of this
secretion passes backward into the throat
and gives rise to a constant desire to re-
lieve the discomfort by drawing the mu-
cous into the throat so as to eject 1t. BY
the mouth. This practice, popularity known
as hawking" is characteristic Of catarrn
and proves as embarrassing to the sufferer
as It is unpleasant to those around him.
The breath Is always tainted, and fre-
quently it is SO ryNoltinsly offensive as to
render the sufferer an object of disgust to
himself as we'll as to others.
The pernicious effects of Catarrh are
shown in the system in various ways The
patient loses flesh and strength, is lam
guild, unable to perform mental or ply
steal labor with the usual facility, is ner-
vous, depressed in spirit, timid, easily agi-
tated, the memory Is weakened, and its
impairment is seriously threatened.
These are followed by other and more
alarming symptoms, the system becomes
run down and Offers an easy prey to every
disease.
The modern methods Of treating Ca
tarrh, used by the Catarrh Expert of the
English and German Specialists, applies
the medicines directly to the diseased
parts. and the result Of this advanced me-
thod Is a speedy and permanent cure.
The English and. German Specialists
have q specialist for each GLASS Of disease

ness One Of the officials stated 1t
would take five feet of water before all
their river tracks would be submerged,
and that they had engines which would
work in three feet of water; therefore 1t
