CLAIMS TO BE DAUGHTER
OF LATE NATHANIEL BELL
Ella Bell Goldncr Seeks to Obtain
Three Hundred Thousand
Dollar Estate

LOS ANG 81, March 7.-Evi-
dence was taken to-day before Judge
Wilbur in the Superior Court in the
case Of Ella Bell Goldner against Su-
san Bell, the administrative of the es-
tate of Nathaniel Bell, who died here
in 1889. leaving property valued at
100000. Ella Bell Goldner claims
that she is the daughter of Librada
Valencia. who Nathaniel Bell mar
ried in Silver City, N. NJ, in 1852.
Bell, at that time, was a mining man,
and it is alleged that after living with
Librada Valencia for several years he
deserted her and came West. Here
he married Mrs. Susan w. Bell the
defendant in the case, and together
they amassed the fortune left by Bell.
Librada Valencia died, 1t is said, in
Ell Paso, but the claim is made that
her death did not occur until after
Bells marriage to Mrs. Susan w. Bell
and therefore the marriage was ille-
gal. Ella Goldner asserts that she is
the legitimate child of Bell and en-
titled to the estate, he having left no
will. All these allegations are denied
by Mrs. Bell.

The Supervisors Printing Commit
tee yesterday recommended that the
contract for doing the official advertis-
ing be awarded to the Post Publishing

TO make locations on the forest reserve.
Yesterday The Herald instructed its

on the right to prospect for and, locate
