value of this accumulation was estimaFsd
to be 81, ,40l, ,426.37. Lands in Southern Cali
fornia, notes, mortgages and large stock in
terests comprised the bulk of the estate, but
household effects, live stock and farming
implements, wines, ETC., formed no inconsid-
cradle part of the total property. The War
ner ranch, in San Diego county, comprising
more than 10000 acres of land, was listed at
So an acre and all the holdings were ap-
praised with equal modesty. Probably the
total value of the estate would have been es-
innate by most people at 81, ,000, 900 or more.
j. Downey Harvey, a nephew of the de.
ceased, administered the estate, and be
tween the time of his appointment, March
II, 1891, and the date of the petition for
the probate of the will, he had sold, by order
of the court, considerable amount OF prop
erty, applying the proceeds to the liquida-
tion of the debts OF the estate and the ex-
penses of administration. The money and
personal property remaining when the will
was admitted to probate aggregaed 1925, 900
in amount and the rental value OF the real
estate was S25,000 per annum. The total re-
ceipts from June l, 1896, to February 10,
1897, inclusive of a small cash balance on
hand at the commencement of that period,
were $44, ,30S.33, which gives fair idea OF
the productive character of the estate, even
at that time, when its volume had been con-
siderably reduced.
The numerous and involved interests of
the estate were productive of a great deal
of litigation, one of the more notable con-
tests being that instituted to dispossess GER
tain Indians of their squatter rights in the
Warner ranch. For many generations their
forefathers had been accustomed to congre
gate at certain hot springs on the ranch,
the waters of which they had found eff
cacious for the treatment Of rheumatism
and other ailments. Their head men under
stood that Mr. Downey was to allow them to
remain permanently, but in the settlement
of the estate measures were taken to dis
possess the aborgines. Other suits it is now
the purpose to compromise.

CRIMINAL STATISTICS.

There has been some talk lately of
the great criminal foreign element"
of the United States. Statistics from
one foreign country. Norway. do not
bear out the statements based on this
somewhat vague term. Official records
prove that since the year 1910 the num-
Der Of criminals has been steadily de-
creasing. while the population has
been increasing.
In the year mentioned there were
1910 criminal cases In Norway; in
1850. 1,755; in 1860. 1898; in 1870. 1,4Ol;
in 1850, 1,092; in the period between
1sS5-90, 1t varied between 7S3 and $40,
and in the last years It fell below 600
The crimes committed We're all the way
from murder to petit larceny, theft be-
ing the most general. The greatest
number OF criminals were found among
the day laborers.
There are several causes for this de-
crease In criminality In Norway. The
country has at various times been the
scene of extensive religious revivals
that have had a purifying influence
over all classes Of society; great efforts
have been made for temperance and
particularly for a rational and practl-
cal regulation of the saloon business.
and. above all, Justice has been nd
ministered with a moderation that In
itself has had n humanizng influence
on the people, Thus capital punishment
Is nearly always committed to impris-
onment at hard labor for life, and other
