SAN PEDRO. Jan. 2.-Rev. Father
F. ]. Smith, of the Lady Star of the
Sea Catholic church of this city, died
at the Sisters hospital in Los Angeles
this morning. He had been i'll for only
two days of typhoid pneumonia.
Father Smith was one of the most be-
loved men in San Pedro, and his un-
timely end will be greatly lamented.
But recently the Catholic bazaar held
by the ladies of the church had closed,
funds of the church, which is now
building a beautiful modern edifce on
Eighth street. Father Smith had
labored very hard of late in connec-
ton with the building of the new
church and the getting up of the ba-
zaar. No arrangements for the fun
eral have yet been announced.
This afternoon at the ball grounds a
good sized crowd gathered to see the
opening game of the new year between
the Eagles and the Redmen, teams
being made up of members OF the two
lodges in San Pedro. 1t was a great
game of ball, and highly entertaining
to the spectators. the Redmen winning
by score of 10 to Z.
On Sunday there was a preliminary
game between these two mines in which
the Redmen came out victorious by a
score-but perhaps it would be better
not to tell the score; it was an awful
thing. In fact the Eagles laid a series
of goose eggs clear across the score
board. while the Redmen got so many
talles that 1t was hard to keep track
of them. The team from the Carpen-
ters' union challenged the winners to a
game next Sunday.

field.
ID. w. Hudson, the weil-known min
ing and oil expert, has submitted an
important report to Los Angeles capt
taIists as the result Of his investiga-
tions in Eddy county, N. NJ. He says
the acreage Of oil bearing land is not
far from eight to ten townships. and
adds that the formation of the land is
typically Characteristic of all the great
oil fields on the Pacific coast and in
Mexico. Mr.. Hudson says: There is no
difficulty in properly locating the places
to drill. and I have no hesitancy IN
saying that 1 believe this great body
of oil will he reached easily at depth
of 500 to 1000 feet. I will say that after
my examination of these lands declare
that in twenty-three years experience
in the oil fields Of California and the
great west, have never seen more
promising prospect for fine oil develop-
ments. The sandstone and shale form
prove to me that this is finer field
than the celebrated Coallnga field in
Fresno county Cal. and without doubt
the oil produced here will he Of fine
paraffine base. 1t is prohtless to add
more than to say that under competent
economic management such a field as
this should become an enterprise so
great as to require the investment and
employment of much capital and men,"

Special to The Herald.
SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 2.-Build-

largest total in this city for many
years. The total number of permits
was 206, a very large proportion of

]. F. Johnson, Southern Pacific bag
gageman, is suffering from injuries he
received in falling from a Salt Lake
train, having a very narrow escape
from death. He lost his hold as he
jumped on the car and rolled beneath
the moving vehicle, but with remark
able presence of mind rolled off the
rail and thus saved his life. He re-
ceived some bad cuts and other severe
bruises about the head.
The rain which fell in this valley has
done inestimable good. The fall at this
point amounted to .63 of an inch, while
in some parts of the valley the fall was
fully an inch. The ground was soaked
well, and already the plowing for grain
is under way in full blast in almost
every section in this part of the coun-
ty. The total rainfall here to date for
the season has been .55 inches, which
is nearly one inch in excess of what the
fall was year ago at the same date.

WIFE, WIDOW, OR
BIGAMIST, WHICH
MATRIMONIAL TANGLE TO BE
UNRAVELED
Contract Marriage, Divorce and Re-
marriage, Enter Into Complicated
Case Of Mr.. and Mrs.
E. L. Huffman

Was Emma l.. Gridley ever legally
married to Edwin l.. HuffmanP n
number Of lawyers have acknowledged
that the matrimonial tangle which
Judge York of the Los Angeles Super
ior court will be asked to unravel this
morning is beyond their comprehen-
sion.
Having to do with the California
marriage laws of a decade ago and
since repealed there is no statute which
directly applies to the case and 1t is
probable that the supreme court will be
asked to give it's opinion in the final
settlement of the divorce suit which
has brought the matrimonial troubles
of the Huffmans into public notice.
The case is remarkable one as it
illustrates the irregularities Of the
many marriage and divorce laws which
are today in existence in the United
States.
Live in Same House
At the present time the dove of peace
does not roost on the housetop of the
Huffmans, 1857 Maple avenue; Huffman
occupies the front rooms and the wom-
an whom he promised to support and
protect is living in the kitchen and
dining room.
March l. 1881, in Los Angeles, Orie
A. Shorb married Euma Gridley by
contract, form of marriage permitted
under the California state law at that
time, but which was repealed short
time afterward as being pernicious.
The contract is on record.
Even the honeymoon was failure.
Mrs. Shorb went to Mahomet Illinois.
Whether or not the village of Mahomet
obeys the laws of its illustrious name
sake is immaterial but Huffman wooed
and won Mrs. Shorb with resulting
marriage by a minister after a back
country justice of the peace had as
sured the couple that the western mar
riage was but a snare and a delusion.
This was in the spring of 1884
In the spring of 1885 Shorb hed him
self to San Bernardino, applied for a
divorce, notified Mrs Shorb, then living
in Missouri, of the suit and, won his
case.
Grow Rich in Los Angeles
Huffman and his legal Illinois wife,
but who under the California law was
a bigamist, moved to Los Angeles in
1856 and since prospered in wealth if
not in marital affections.
proceedings, but when his Illinois wife
started in to fight the case through her
attorneys, Edward H. Bentley and
Wallace w. Wideman, he dismissed the
suit.
This was an acknowledgment that he
recognized his marriage of 1884 at Ma
homet Then Mrs. Huffman started
into the divorce proceedings on her
own account and now asks for divis-
ion of the property, as her spouse has
accumulated not little lucre and Los
Angeles town lots during his residence
here.
Huffman now comes forward with the
statement that he was never married
to the woman because, although he
went through the marriage ceremony at
Mahomet and has lived with the woman
as his wife for twenty years, she was
the wife of another man when the
ceremony took place, making it null
and void.
Such is the tangle of love affairs
grown old, which Judge York will be
called upon TO render decision upon
this morning.
