GIRL TO INHERIT
LARGE PROPERTY
MISS MARY C0NNELLY IS AN
HEIREsS>
Attorney Potter May Begin Action fo'
an Accounting Of Estate Left
by Former Resident OF
Los Angeles

Pretty Mary Connolly has reached
the age of 10 years, in ignorance, it Is
believed, that she was the heiress 10
fortune the value of which was es-
timated at the time of her fathers
death, fourteen years ago, at $SO'OOO'
but now, owing to the rapid advance
in values since that time, reaching
nearly 100000.
Attorney Bernard Potter, acting on
behalf of the young woman, yesterday
began an investigation of the manner
in which the affairs of his client have
been cared for during her convent life,
and for this purpose is expected TO ask
the superior court to demand an ac-
counting from her mother. Mrs. Eliza
Connolly.
When Patrick Connolly died on De-
cember 25. aS94, he left an estate con-
sisting of large tracts of land in Los
Angeles and vicinity, the value OF
which was then appraised at about
100000 He was then about Ga years OF
age, while his wife was more than
thirty years his junior. BY the terms
of the old mans will. executed No
vember 2S, 1898, the estate was divided
into three parts, his widow, a daugh-
ter, then 5 years of age, and a son.
Patrick, nearly 2 years old. each re-
ceiving one-third.
Mrs. Connolly was named as ex-
ecutrix, and by the terms of the Will
was given full authority to dispose of
any part of the estate at her option
and at any price she deemed proper.
Several reports on the condition OF
the estate were filed In the court
within the two years following the
death of the old land owner. and were
the subject of much contention on ac-
count OF alleged inaccuracies.
For more than ten years the large
property has remained in Mrs. Con-
nellys hands without a report as to
it's condition being called for. During
a great part of that time the daughter
has been a student in various converts
in this country and abroad, and has
just finished her education in a pa
rochial institution of Paris. The son.
Patrick, Is now Is years old and a
student at the Harvard military
academy, Los Angeles.
Mrs. Connolly lives on the old family
ranch holdings, south of Los Angeles,
In the neighborhood of Agricultural
park. The property left by Patrick
Connolly is now estimated to be worth
between S250.000 and $4,000

instant the air was filled with flying
stones and missiles.
The windows of the car were smashed,
the WOODWARD broken and the crew
hurt. The passengers in the car fled
in terror and several suffered slight
wounds from broken glass and crowd
ing.

TO BLOW
UP READING FAMILY
TBy Associated Press.1 ]

READING, Pa, Sept. 21.--An at
tempt was made today to kill Joseph
Canister, grocer, and his family, when
a quantity of dynamite was exploded
against wall of his home.
Mr.. Canister and members of his fam
lily were thrown out of bed but no one
was injured. The front of the build
ing was shattered, the side wall was
forced out of plumb and the founda-
tions weakened.
There is no clue to the perpetrators
of the outrage. Some weeks ago Mr..
Canister received an anonymous let
ter stating his house would be blown
up and he reported the matter to the
authorities. A policeman has had the
place under special surveillance ever
since.
So violent was the shock of the ex-
plosion that houses for several blocks
were shaken, while windows were
broken in nearby dwellings.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.--With
both legs broken, with his right arm
badly crushed under the heavy wheels
of a five-ton dray loaded with scrap
iron, Frank Couey, the 5-year-old son
of Charles Couey, a teamster, bravely
talked of the funny clowns he had seen
at the circus while he was on the
operating table at the central emer-
gency hospital today.
The lad evoked the admiration of the
surgeons who were working on his
mangled hand and arm, but finally
placed him under an ,anesthetic While
the fractured bones " his legs were
being set.
The boy was playing in the yard of a
junk dealer when John Eagan, not see
ing the little fellow, directly behind his
wagon, backed his heavy dray, one
wheel passing over the boys arm and
the other over both legs.

Taft Much Alarmed

Judge Taft was greatly alarmed over

cation of stories with regard to Hitch
cocks management.
He is aware of the disaffection al
ready existing in Republican circles.
and breads any serious difference OF
opinion or any quarrel which might
tend to provoke dissension among the
rank and file who would take sides
in a controversy, or might ALLEVIATE the
support of numerous Republicans who
are known to be disgruntled over local
matters.
The candidate was so worked up over
the situation that he undertook to
''straighten out" the Hitchcock-Crane
tangle and reassure Hitchcock, who,
in the belief of Taft, was ready to
credit statements to the effect he was
to be bounced"
Taft took the trouble to send the fol-
lowing personal dispatch to the per-
turbed Hitchcock:
DO not be disturbed by publications
with reference to your management or
the campaign or statements of an IN
tention to supplant you in control.
