IS SUED WHILE
ON HONEYMOON
Special Dispatch TO The CAN.

RIVERSIDE, Feb. S.-When Eleanor
Campbell O'Kelly returns from her
honeymoon trip with her bellboy hus-
band she will be confronted with suit
filed by Charles Rufus Campbell for
a division of the vast estate left by
the late Allen G. Campbell of Utah.
Hearing of the case has been set for
February IA, when Mrs. O'Kelly will
be called upon to show cause why the
son of her husband by former wife
should not enter at once into posses
sion of one-sixth of the entire estate.
Allen G.. Campbell died here about
three years ago. He left an estate
estimated at about $500. 900, consist
ing of property in California, Nevada,
Utah and Kansas. The bulk of the es-
tate is in land, mines and securities
in the State of Utah The greater part
of this estate was left by the will to
the widow. The provisions of the will
placed the petitioner, Charles Rufus
Campbell, under the guardianship Of
the widow.
Mrs. Campbell O'Kelly was formerly
a school teacher in Salt Lake City and
a society writer for one of the news
papers of that city. Last week she
startled Riverside by becoming the
bride of Frank C. O'Kelly. former bell
boy at the Glenwood Tavern and about
fiften years her Junior.

Seven Thousand Square Miles
of the Territory Annexed to

standing in the Senate
kEARNS AMENDMENT
STANDS AS ADOPTED
It's Opponents Mistaken in
Believing That Bard's Vie
tory Had Nullified the Act
tion Changing Boundary
Special Dispatch to The Call.

CALL BUREAU, POST BUILDING,
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-The confusion
of many members of the Senate with
regard to the amendment of Kearns
transferring 1000 square miles out of
the northwest corner of Arizona TO
Utah was an interesting feature in the
fight over the statehood bill. The gen.
eral understanding when the bill
passed last night was that the failure
of Arizona to get within the Union
lines had carried defeat with it to the
Kearns amendment, and, as Senator
Kearns was believed to have voted
against his convictions on the bill, in
consideration of a promise of its cham
pions to carry this amendment for him,
the pleasure its defeat gave the other
side was not concealed. But when it
was developed under discussion to-day
that the amendment, having been reg
ularly adopted would hold good not
withstanding Arizona remained out of
the statehood reckoning, the general
chagrin was no less evident than the
satisfaction had been.
KearnS had offered as argument for
the amendment that the territory in
cluded in the transfer was made mac
cessible to officers of the law of Ari-
zona by the Grand Canyon of the Colo
rado, which they could not cross, save
by a great detour carrying them
through several States, and that the
strip was in consequence a rendezvous
of criminals menacing to Utah. whose
peace officers could not follow them
across the State line.
The interesting fact was disclosed
to-day that the Senate Committee on
Public Lands reported a bill granting
to j. Il Butts right of way for a trail
leading through the Grand Canyon,
with the right to build a great suspen-
sion bridge over the main canyon. The
daring and picturesque nature of the
enterprise proposed lends its added in
terest to the fact that il will, when
completed. overcome the difficulty that
allowed Utah to fitch 1000 square miles
of the Territory of Arizona, without
giving her anything whatever in re-
turn.

CONTEST over

and all of the canal companies owned
jointly or seyerally by the two corpora
tions against the Associated Oil Com
pany. a branch of the Standard, the
Petroleum Development Company and
other oil companies operating in the

1t is contended in the complaint that
the various oil companies made parties
defendant in the suit have bored nu-
nIerous water wells on lands adjacent
TO the natural channel of Kern River
and by means of powerful pumping
machinery are drawing enormous guam
titles of water from the river. thereby
greatly decreasing its natural flow. An
injunction is asked TO restrain the de-
PENDANTS from continuing to pump
water from the ground, and especially
at points above the intakes of the va
riouss canals owned by the different
companies.
