COMMON LAW WIFE GIVEN
PORTION OF AN ESTATE
LEoNlS LITIGATION ENDED BY A
COMPROMISE
Attorneys for Contesting Parties Agree
Upon Allowance of Share and
Small Money Claim and Terminate
Eleven Years Legal Fight

After eleven years of litigation in the
local courts, the celebrated Leonis es-
tate was settled yesterday by consent
of attorneys for all parties to the case
Mrs. Maria Espiritu Chijuilla de Leonis
was allowed $500 acres of valuable
land in the San Fernando valley and a
claim of $4S34.30 against the estate of
Laurent Etchepare as her share of the
great 100000 estate left by the Basque
sheep herder, Miguel de Leonis.
The settlement of the legal fight came
as a surprise to even the parties inter-
ested. The other heirs in the case
have long since received their shares,
but through an action by the widow
tangled up with the estate of Laurent
Etchepare.
Etchepare, a Basque saloon keeper,
shortly after the death of Leonis took
tate. He had her transfer all her land
holdings to him and claimed them as
trust for money advanced.
Money Claim VaIueIess
Mrs. Leonis opened legal warfare
against him, and shortly after she filed
her claim Etchepare died. The suit was
renewed against the administrator and
the fight continued until the money
claim, granted Mrs. Leonis by the
court, does not amount to anything as
all the money of the Etchepare estate
has long since been used in litigation.
Mrs. Leonis made her claim to the es-
tate as a common law wife. She was
the daughter of a famous chief of one
of the southwestern tribes of Indians,
and went to live with the lonely sheep
herder several years before his death
When the will was opened the widow
was found to have been ignored and all
the property bequeathed to other heirs,
sixteen of whom have died since the
first contesting claim was fled
When the verdict of the court was
read and translated to the old Indian
woman yesterday she smiled and bowed
her head. The acreage granted her is
the tract in the vicinity of her old
ranch home, and she will be able to
obtain a competency for the balance Of
her days.

SCIENCE PREVENTS Badness
The Fatal Germ and Its Remedy Now
Eaota Of SCtauoa

1t is the rarest thing in the world for
a man to be necessarily bald. No man
whose hair is not dead at the roots
need be bald If he will use Newbro's
Herpicide, the new scalp antiseptic
Herpicide destroys the germ that cuts
the hair off at the root; and cleans the
scalp of dandruff and leaves it in per-
fectly healthy condition. Mr. Mannett,
in the Maryland block Butte, Mont,
was entirely bald. In less than month
Herpicide had removed the enemies of
hair growth, and nature did it's work
by covering his head with thick hair

Clear and sweet the words Of the ia
nous and beloved old song, that song
which has led many wild charge and
which has inspired men to de. fighting for
the cause Of the South, rose above the
noise Of the great convention yesterday
which was in the midst Of an uproar In
nm endeavor 10 settle the important ques-
ton Of where the next reunion OF the
United Confederate Veterans should be
held The noise was stilled as II by
magic. Men stopped their efforts to make
themselves heard to listen to the soft
voice that came to them from the gal
lery. Strife and contention was ended.
The convention hall, filled with Its thous-
.ands Of men In gray, stood in perfect al
,lence to hear,
Up In the gallery a beautiful woman,
q daughter Of the Sunny South leaned
forward over the railing. Her right hand
held standard of the South, in the color 8
yof the South. Her red lips were parted
lin q half smile, and her cheeks were
arlame with enthusiasm, her WhO!e BODY
was In perfect sympathy with the soft
music Of the orchestra concealed behind
her She was the representative of the
South, which she loves, aud no cause ever
had falrer or better representative,
Away down south In Dixie. she sang,
and stopped, Her graceful head was
bowed and she stood erect, splendid and
EeXpectant. ts
The song ended any doubt about where
the convention would be held. although
Nashville made good fight.
The young woman who sang and who
won the convention for New Orleans is
Miss Louise Blanchard of New Orleans,
She had entered the gallery quietly with
her maids Of honor. and the convention
was taken completely by surprise when
she began to sing. She Ia unusually beau
tlful, perfect type OF the Southern wo-8

sang My Old Kentucky Home" after the
selection Of New Orleans as the place Of
meeting. !.

Chicago, April 2S.-Assistant
Chief of Police Schuttler has
taken personal command of 500
patrolmen detailed for strike duty
this morning. Chief O'Neill is
prepared for whatever contin-
gency arises, and every member
of the city police force has been
ordered to be ready for immedi-
ate service. O'Neill says 27OO
officers can be thrown into the
strike district within a short
time. The entire strike district
is now patroled by policemen
with drawn clubs, and other Off
GERS watch the vicinity of the sta
bles and wagon sheds to prevent
strikers from firing them or as
saulting non-union helpers now
filling the strikers places. Five
hundred detectives augment the
force of 500 policemen and armed
guards are seated on the express
wagons with guns thrown across
their knees. Scores of wagons,
escorted by squads of policemen
and detectives move through the
downtown streets with difficulty.
Even the formidable array of
weapons and officers does not pre-
