BIRDS EAT 400 SHEEP.

The Feast Took Place 100 Miles From
Dawson and Cost $2O.OOO.
Jack Collins, who started for Dawson
City with a band of sheep last summer,
has been heard from. He sold part of
his flock for $4,000. The other and
biggest half of the flock fed the birds
of the arctic zone. This is how it hap
pened:
He drove the sheep in over the Dali
ton trail. Some time before Dawson
was reached cold weather came on, and
Collins decided to kill his sheep. He
killed and sold 500, and received nearly
$4,000 for them.
Then he concluded to hold the re-
mainder for better market. He killed
the remaining 400 in a sort Of secluded
place off the line of travel and suspend
ed the carcasses on poles far enough
above the ground to be out of the reach
of bears, wolves or other wild animals.
He left two young men to watch the
mutton, and proceeded to look for a
mining section. Having found one, he
located claim and proceeded to test
it. After he had dug out a few thou
sand dollars worth of gold he thought
he would, as the French say, return
to his muttons."
His stay had been SO prolonged that
the young men had become weary of
holding a wake over the sheep. and,
imagining Dawson to be only a few
miles away. had started for that city
to enjoy some of the pleasures a met
ropolitan city can afford. It proved to
be about 100 miles to Dawson, so their
absence was more extended than they
had inended, and when Collins reached
the place where he had left the car
casses of 400 sheep he found only 400
bleaching skeletons.
The eagles, ravens, crows, kites,
hawks and other birds of prey which
inhabit that region had been feasting
on mutton. "Where the carcass is,
there will the eagles be gathered" is
a proverb which applies to other birds
of prey. Collins had left so many car
cases that invitations had been sent
out and general roundup of all the
vultures and things in that region. from
Behring sea to the Mackenzie river. had
taken place. Whether the claim Col
Inns secured will make good the loss
of the mutton or not remains to be seen,
but when he drives in his next band of
sheep the birds Of prey will not get
so large percentage of them.-Port-
land Oregonian.

In such climate, and under the trying

father of Alaska" after an experience
of years upon the trail. in the camp, and
in the use of every kind of supply, says:
1--WE find in Alaska that the Importance
of proper kind of baking powder can
not be overestimated. A miner with

above all things, it is the only powder
that will endure the severe climatic
changes of the Arctic region"
It is for the same reasons that the U.
S. Government in it's relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous Arctic traveller,
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder will not
cake nor lose its strength either on
board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most nightly concentrated and eff
ficient of leavening agents. Hence it is
indispensable to every Alaskan outfit.
1t can be had of any of the trading COM
panies in Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt of the out
filter to palm off upon him any of the
other brands of baking powder, for they
will spoil and prove the cause of great
disappointment and trouble.

ELECTION CONTEST
Supervisors Having No Option, Action
of Court Will Be Sought

Earl Rogers yesterday argued the case of
Harvey Branscomb, the candidate for con-
stable of Calabasas, who filed protest
with the board of supervisors last week
against the issuance of certificate of eec-
tion to his opponent, who was elected by a
majority of one vote. He claimed that
there was fraudulent voting, three men
having been brought in from Ventura county
to vote in opposition to his client at the
election.
The supervisors disclaimed authority to
refuse an election certificate where the re-
turns showed clear majority without an
order of the court, and it is probable the
matter will be brought to the attention of
the superior court by regular process.

Ricardo ''Get out, you little rascal" and he
had replied: Yes, ma am; all right" and
had run away, with the gun in his hands.

| Mrs. Teresa Sanderson, a young woman,
who is very deaf, corroborated the testimony
of Mr.. and Mrs. Schmitt regarding the shoot

On cross-examination the witness thought
it might not have been more than day or
two before the shooting that he told the boy
to bring up the gun. At that time Ricardo
laid the gun down on the ground, and when

him to be careful, for a shell was stuck

it might go off.

SILVANY WILL CONTEST
The Second Trial Begins Before Judge
Ballard and jury

The contested will case in the matter o.
the estate of Stephen Silvany, deceased, il
on trial before j. w. Ballard, Judge of Or
ange county, who is sitting in Judge Clark
department of the superior court for that
purpose. Judge Ballard was the presiding
judge at the previous trial and granted {
motion for new trial, made by the con
testants, against whom Judgment went al
| the former trial.
Stephen Silvany died early last January
and shortly after his death a will was ad
mitted to probate in this court as his last
will and testament, which appears to have
been executed shortly before his death
Within the period allowed by law another
will purporting to be the will of the de
ceased and executed in 1891, was presented
for probate together with a petition con-
tanning allegations impeaching the validity
of the will admitted to probate, praying that
such probate be revoked and the will Of 1891
be admitted as the last will and testament
of the deceased.
The petitioner for probate of the first vii!
presented to the court was Francisco
Quijada, GA years of age, who was men,
toned as devisee, together with Jesus
Quijada, a boy years old. L. c. Flores was
named in the will as executor. The con-
testing petitioners were Joachim Adam and
Patrick Harnett, and the estate of SlO,25O
value, was left by the will of 1891, first to
Francisco Mora of Barcelona, Spain, late
bishop of the Catholic church of this do
cese, in trust for the erection and main.
tenance of a male Catholic orphan asylum
in this county; and second, to one Valery
Girardo, wife of George Meyer of this city.
The grounds of the contest were that the
deceased never signed nor declared the doc
ument admitted to probate to be his will
that if he did sign and declare it to be his
will he was not at the time of sound and
disposing mind, and that if he did execute
the will he did so under duress and was in
duced to do so by fraud and undue influence.
These allegations were held to be unproven
at the preceding trial, but the cause being
now reopened the entire evidence must be
presented again.
A vigorous effort is being made by the
representatives of the Catholic church to Sc
cure the property, but this is being az Wig
orously opposed by Quijada attorneys. The

RIGHT OF WAY
Reservation in Prior Deed Bars the
Demand for Eiectment


An opinion rendered by Judge Van Dyke
yesterday in the case of A. L. Phillips
against the Southern Pacific Railroad com.
pany explains why judgment is ordered for
the defendant. This was an action in eject.
ment for strip of land fifty feet wide off
of the south end of lot and similar strip,
varying from fifty feet to point, off of the
north end of lot II, OF the Chatsworth Park
tract In this county. In 1890, the San Fer
nando Valley Improvement company, the
common source of title, conveyed to w. B.
Barber large tract of land, including the
lots in question, by deed containing this
reservation: Reserves from the within
described premises right of way for rail
road strip of land fifty feet wide and the
right to ditch and lay pipes for the dstribu-
ton OF water" This deed went on record
June 7, 1890.
In 1881 Barber conveyed to plaintiff the
lots in question, with other property. re.
serving merely the right of way to make
bitches and to lay pipes for the distribution
of water, which deed was recorded Novem.
Der lS, 1891. In May, 1893, the San Fer.
nando improvement company and Barber,
IN order to have railroad constructed from
Burbank to Chatsworth Park, offered in
writing to the Pacific Improvement com.
pany certain rights of way fifty feet in
width, for railroad track and denot
grounds at Chatsworth Park, which rights
were conveyed to the defendant when the
railroad was constructed. In constructing
the road the strip of land in question was
taken and occupied for the railroad track
and since that time has been used for such
purpose, all of which was known to plaintiff
yet he failed to assert any right in the prem.
ises for over four years, when this suit was
commenced.
The case revolves on the original reserva
tion of right of way for railroad, as made
in the conveyance to Barber. That convey.
ance being of record, plaintiff buying sub
sequently did SO with his eyes open and was
charged with notice of such reservation. The
reservation, though made in general terms
is held to have been as binding, with respect
to plaintiff and those claiming through
Barber, as though an express grant thereof
had been made to the defendant of such
right OF way over the particular ground
upon which the railway had been located
Judgment therefore, was ordered for dc.
