BARBOUR RESTS
At RIO RANCH
AS MEXICO GUEST FINANClER
BIDES TIME
Awaits Settlement With Creditors
Through Counsel, In the Mean
time Remaining In Inaeees-
sible Quarters

Henry p. Barbour, the Los Angeles
and Long Beach real estate promoter
who left the city owing about 100000
and who was located at Ensenada by
The Herald, is remaining quietly at
the Rio ranch not far from Ensenada
as the guest OF Carlos de la Guerra.
He is waiting for settlement with
his creditors, and according to his
manager, Murray Mitchell, there will
be little to offer the creditors in the
way of composition.
Mr. Barbour Is not flush with money.
His acquaintance with Miss Mary Nye,
the pretty milliner is said to have cost
the promoter a large sum during the
past two years. This Is what his
friends say.
John Hussong, the Ensenada saloon
keeper, scouts the story in a local
newspaper that Barbour left $1,000 with
him when Capt. Barrow" took his
jaunt into the country.
Indeed, 1t is asserted that the man
VINO used 10 handle millions had but
$40 with him for pocket money. Bar
bour does not need much capital to
live in comfort in Lower California, and
as a guest of the princely old Mexican
he has no need of money.
Barbour, alias Capt. Barrow, left En-
senada and his seat on the veranda at
the Bay View hotel because he feared
that some of his creditors would come
down to see him, after reading the ex-
elusive story of his whereabouts In
The Herald.
He left Los Angeles to avoid inter-
viewers and troublesome creditors, and
he did not propose that his retreat in
the sleepy Mexican city should be in
vaded by visitors loaded with Vexing
questions.
He does not propose to be bullied or
badgered, and with that purpose he
accepted the invitation TO become
guest at Ell Rio rancho.
Nothing new has developed in Los
Angeles concerning Barbour's business.
His counsel, Davis, Kemp & Post. are
trying to straighten things out, but
Barbour left his business in a tangle
and 1t will take good deal of diplom-
acy to smooth the way for his peace
full return.
Not once since the story of Barbour's
wild speculations became public has
Mrs Barbour uttered one word OF
complaint. She has counsel who are
trying to save the pretty little Long
Beach home for her, but she Is at
present living in straitened circum-
stances at Hotel Portsmouth.
Miss Mary Nye, who formerly oc-
cupied a cozy fiat on West First street,
will not return to this city, according
to her former landlord. 1t is alleged
that she lived well while under the
protection of Mr.. Barbour, but after
his wealth disappeared and ne was as
credited in the financial circles winch
formerly honored him. she left.
1t is said that Barbour had been In
various schemes that failed before he
came to Los Angeles. 1t is reported
that he turned a shrewd trick in Ari-
iona in promoting towns1te. He
also operated in Seattle.

PREPARE TO RECEIVE BISHOP
Plans Being Made for Decennlai CeIe-

by Banquet

Elaborate plans are being made for
the decennial celebration of Rev.
Bishop johnson as bishop of Los An
gees. A commemorative service will
be held Thursday morning at 1880
o'clock at st. Pauls pro-ca thedral, at
which Right Rev, DR.. Nichols of San
Francisco, bishop of California, will
preach the sermon. The bishops of the
Pacific coast have been invited to at
tend the service.
A reception will be rendered Bishop
and Mrs. Johnson Thursday evening at
the Ebell club house from 8 to II
o'clock.
A testimonial in the shape of an en-
dowed room at the Good Samaritan
hospital will be presented the bishop
for the perpetual use of the nominees
Of the bishop of Los Angeles. Bishop
Johnson has been very much interested
In the hospital, and 1t is thought that
this form of testimonial will be ac-
ceptable.

AUTOMOBILE SHED BURNS
Children With Matches or Providers
Are Blamed for

A slight fire broke out in an auto
mobile shed located IN the rear Of j.
". Havener's residence at 4A East
Twenty-ninth street early last evening
and but for the prompt action of the
fire department might have caused q
large loss.
Mr.. Havener was reading in his IL
brary and was notified of the fire by
a neighbor. The gasoline tank, in
which several gallons of the fuel is
always kept for use In the automobile,
had caught fire.
Members Of the fire department claim
that children who reside in the vicinity
were playing with matches near the
shed, but this statement Is not given
credit by Mr.. Hevener, who Is under
the belief that some person or persons
might have been prowllng around and
entered the barn with the intention OF
helping themselves to whatever might
fall to their liking.
The police were at once notified and
officers were detailed to make a thor
ough investigation of the case.
