Philadelphia Record,
That income OF 81, 600 dny is all from

which is sure to pour out as much
money. And the end is not yet Tho

MARIN LANDS
IN LITIGATION
Suit Brought to Nullify
Deed to Valuable
Property.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN RAFAEL, Nov. "A law suit
which will excite considerable interest in
this county was commenced here to-day.
The property involved is worth over $50,
900 and the names of the parties to the
action are those of the pioneers of tho
county. Sensational charges of fraud AMI
undue influence are made in the COM
plant.
The action is commenced for Robert
Ross Maxim by his guardian, William
MacCann of San Francisco, against Anne
S. 2. Worn. By the suit it is sought to
have the court declare that Maxim owns
half-interest with the defendant in an
immense tract of land situated in Ross
Valley and decided to Mrs. Worn on the
18th of last May by her mother, Mrs. Ann
S. Ross, who died at the age of about 81
years month later.
In. the story told by the. complaint
young Maxim Is the son of a daughter OF
Mrs. Ross. He is about II years old.
Upon the death of his mother, a few days
following his birth, Mrs. Ross assumed
educating him until the day of her death.
Through all these years, he alleges, she
declared him to be her heir, and to every
one she spoke most tenderly of him, and
upon all occasions treated him as son.
About year previous to. her death,
says the plaintiff, she was taken very i'll.
In this illness she was attended by her
daughter, Anne S. E. Worn, the complain
ants aunt, and her affairs were looked
after by D. E. Perry. The complaint
then says: ION the oath day of April, 1901,
said Ann s. Ross was mental imbecile.
under the control and domination of said
Anne S. E. Worn and said D. E. Perry,
and on said day, knowing the physical
and mental condition of said Ann S. Ross,
took advantage thereof for the purpose
of fraudulently depriving plaintiff of his
share of the estate"
The complaint then declares that Mrs.
Ross executed conveyances of all her real
and personal property to the defendant,
but not before, however, she had secured
promises from the defendant to divide the
property, share and share alike, with the
plaintiff when he attained the legal age.
Mrs. Ross was one of the oldest resi-
dents of the county. At one time she
owned the whole of Ross Valley as far
as Ross Landing.

SAVES CHILD
FROM A LION
Mother in Trinity County
Displays Great
Heroism.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDDING, Nov. 2.-From Trinity Coun-
ty comes the story of woman's heroic
rescue of her child from death between
a mountain lions claws. The brave
mother exhibited nerve and self-control
such as few men might display.
In Hay Fork Valley, twenty miles south
of Weaverville, a man named Farmer and
his wife and little child recently took up
their residence. The place is remote, but
no fear was entertained of wild animals
On Thursday Mrs Farmer allowed the
5-year-old child to play about the barn
a hundred yards from the house in the
edge of the woods.
Soon afterward she stepped to the rear
door to look after the babys safety and
received a terrific shock. Near the barn
she saw her baby gazing steadfastly into
the eyes of an immense mountain lion
stretched upon the ground and moving
toward the child by inches The mother
feared to call her husband, who was in
the road Just out of sight, but quickly
resolved upon the childs rescue. She
started slowly toward the lion, Hutter1ng
her apron slightly to attract its attention
from the baby. In this way she moved
by hardly perceptible steps to within
twelve feet Of the animal, which crouched
low and moved only its jaws and tail;
never moved it's eyes from the lion and
which sank unconscious in her arms. She
retreated backward and dropped ex-
hausted on the doorstep just as her hus-
band appeared at the door. Farmer
snatched up a gun and shot the panther

MASONIC CALL
5CARES CROOKS

HELENA, Mont, Nov. "A strange
and UnlOoked-for thing happened in this
city yesterday as the result Of the pubh-
cation in the daily Record Of a large cut
OF the Masonic emblem, together with
these apparently mysterious words:
Beware! High 12l Fail not!'
On that noon the three Masonic lodges
OF the city gave a surprise banquet to
Judge Cornelius Hedges, one Of the best
known men in the State, a pioneer and
the acknowledged father Of Masonry in
Montana This announcement, accom-
panied by the cut, was TO remind all men,

inkling Of what was in the wind.

ADVERTISEMENTS
SEASONABLE HINTS.
Guard Your Health in Fall and Early
Winter.

A change from warm to cold is always
attended with more danger than from u
cold to a warm temperature, hence the
greater mortality from lung and throat
diseases at this season of the year as
compared with spring.
The best protection against colds Is not
so much in extra clothing as in good di-
gestion.
If the digestion and circulation are good,
colds will be unknown.
Poor digestion causes poor circulation
of the blood, and when in this condition
severe colds are contracted on the slight
est provocation.
People who make a regular practice of
taking Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets after
meals are free from colds simply because
their digestion is perfect, the heart strong
and regular, and the whole system fortf-
fed against disease.
IT requires little argument to convince
any one that the best safeguard against
colds pneumonia and changes of temper
ature is a good stomach.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets taken after
meals are dissolved, and mingling with
the food cause it to be promptly digested
and assimilated they do this because they
contain nothing but harmless digestive
other food even when the stomach itself
is weak and f1accid.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets make people
we'll and keep them WELL and the best
habit you can acquire is to keep daily use
of them at meals to make the digestive
organs strong and vigorous.

DIRE VENGEANCE
Luigi Santanella Pursues
Man Who Stole His
Daughter.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

HELENA, Mont, Nov. 2-In the fruit
less quest of Luigi Santanella may be
found in real life and in fact all the ma
terialS for the most tragic story of love
deceived and vengeance sought ever COM
posed in volumes of imaginary romance.
Santanella is an intelligent Italian. For
months he has been roaming through all
the Northwest country in search of young
Pietra Boccacio, whom he will kill on
sight. No Corsican vendetta was ever
more real or intense than the wild long
ing for vengeance which fills and controls
this mans entire life. He visits the
Italian settlement of every community
he comes to. He asks but the one ques-
ton:
Has Pietra Boccacio been seen here?"
He eagerly scans every countenance to
penetrate any would-be disguise.
Santanella is not insane. A year ago
he was living contentedly. happily, with
his little family in small settlement IN
Cascade County, this State. Into his
paradise of paternal love, fully appre-
leria, came this young fiend Boccacio.
The girl was but IL and susceptible, as
young maids usually are. She fell madly
in love with Pietra- He wooed her and
Crazed with grief. the girls mother
pined away and died. On her dead body
Santanella swore to pursue Boccacio and
bury his stilletto in the miscreant's blood.
Taking his two-year-old boy with him he
started on his quest for vengeance.
Since the day he made his vow he has
been faithful to it. He works only enough
to keep body and soul together for him
self and child. With varying clews to
lead and mfslead him he pursues his
search. He has visited every town of
Importance In the Northwest. The last
place he visited was the Italian colony
in Butte, where again he was foiled.
When these two men come together blood
with flow. The outraged father and hus-
band will have vengeance or die in the
attempt to gain it,
