FOUL PLAY
Poison Fount in Stomach of Heney's
Body Guard

PORTLAND, Jan. LIT was found
that the vital organs were missing
from the body of Francis J. Kendall,
late bodyguard of Francis j. Heney,
when a Portland surgeon engaged by
the family began work today. The
brain, stomach, heart, lungs liver and
some of the larger intestines had been
removed and newspapers stuffed N
their places. When the body arrived
here for burial, members of the fam
lily at once noted the transformation
from the appearance Kendall bore in
life. Telegraphic inquiry was institu-
ted, but no answer satisfactory to the
members of the family was obtained
and it was decided to examine the
body here when the strange discov-
cry was made.
Investigation disclosed the fact 10
the satisfaction of the family that the
symptoms manifested by the patient
during his brief illness, instead of be.
ing those of meningitis, were those Of
poisoning, and all tie Information
which has thus far been secured
points so strongly to foul play that
a thorough investigation has been
started by the United States Attor
ney with the aid of Secret Service
officers. The fact that Kendall was
closely associated with Heney in hi!
work in San Francisco strengthened
the family's suspicion of foul play.

TO AMEND THE STA | MIN.
ING LAWS
A Needed Amendment in the Interest
of the Poor Miner

1t has been proposed that section
1851 of the compiled laws be amend
ed at the coming session of the legis-
latur'' j.. st~si
The section as it now stands reads:
AN action may be brought by any
person in possession, by himself or
his tenant, Of real property, against
any person who claims an estate c-
interest therein adverse to him, for
the purpose of determining such ad-
verse claim, estate or interest,"
The amendment proposed to this
section reads as follows:
An action may be brought by any
person against another who claims an
estate or interest in real property, ad-
verse to him, or the purpose of de-
termining such adverse claim; pro-
vided, however, that whenever in an
action to quiet title to, or to determine
adverse claims to real property, the
under any will or instrument purport-
ing to be a will, is admissible in evil
dence, and al ques,-ons concerning
the validity of any gift, devise or trust
therein contained, save sucr as under
the constitution belong exclusively D
the probate jurisdiction, shall be T.
nally determined in such action; and
provided however that nothing here
in contained shall be construed to de-
prive a party of the right to a trial
jury in any case where by the law
such right is now given
By this amendment me right is Civ.
en- to the man out of possession the
same as to the one in possession.
Many times rich corporations and
men Of money, vie ct armis have TAX
en- possession of valuable mining
claims, and held the same with armed
guards from the weaker, although
the weaker may have had a better
right to law and equity. Yet under
the Nevada law as it now reads the
: man out of possession has no righ
to commence an equitable action tC
quiet title.
We hope that some member of ,ul
legislature will champion the cause
: of equal justice to all.
If the party in possession Of lant
, has the right to sue under the statut
the party out of possession, then tn
2 party out of possession should equa
t ~ have the right to sue the party i
n possession, and, if he has the bette
J right to recover the land.
The law that one should first briE
suit in ejectment, and then, after oil
= tanning possession, bring action =
; quiet title to a mining claim or pro-
), erty right is cumbersome and man
y states in the union have stricken sue
d rules from their statutes; but such
n Jne present law of .evada as will b
y seen by reference to the section quo
n ed above. There is no reason or ju
l. zee in such a law and with the su
E. gested amendment many overt ac
d and unlawful crimes would be averte
and adverse claims and propert
m rights might be protected wi exs
u the necessity for lengthy and vicior
x law suits.
