OWNERS OF REAL ESTATE
WANT POST0FFICE LEASE
Friendly Contest Waeed at Redondo
Beach to Secure Uncle Sans
Mail Privileges

REDONDO BEACH, Nov. 10-Own-
ers Of choice corners along Pacific
avenue are engaged in a friendly con-
test to land the postoffice lease, as
the present one will soon expire.
There are several good locations Of
fered, but as yet none has been Sc
lected, although the government post
office inspector has visited Redondo
Beach at least three times and in
spected conditions.
The local postoffice is in the third
class, and because of this the owner
of the building in which the office is
located is compelled to furnish the
necessary equipment, including lock
boxes. 1t is said this fact is the cause
of considerable argument, as many of
the property owners object to furnish
ing the equipment of the buildings
because of the expense. Meanwhile
the postoffice remains ut the old stand
and there seems to be no immediate
possibility of a change.

GOLD MAY BE BURIED
ON HUNTINGTON LAND
INDIANS AND MEXICANS HOLD
TO TRADITION
Repeat Tale of Enormous Sum Buried
by Padres to Prevent 1t Falling
Into the Hands of
SaVages
fsnecial 70 The Herald.l ]

PASADENA, Nov. 10.-That treasure
to the amount OF 100000 is buried on
the property of Henry E. huntington,
who is building a magnificent quarter
of a million dollar residence in this
city, is the assertion of Colonel Perry
of South Pasadena whose father form
erly owned the old mill site now being
possessed by Huntington.
Around the buried treasure is woven
a romance of the early days of Cali
fornia. 1t appears that in the old days
when the Catholic fathers sought a
foothold in California they established
a mission near Pasadena and among
the number forming the little group
within the mission was a German
called nicholas the Dutchman." Mich
olas was in charge of all the property
of the mission and the padres. 1t was
he who was intrusted with the precious
treasure when the Indians were re-
ported to be coming down the Arroyo
Seco and it was he who buried the gold
when it was feared the Indians would
slaughter the missionaries.
Just at this time there appeared on
the scene a blue-eyed lad who had
been reared in the mission His mother
was the wife of one of the Indian
chiefs and his father a Spaniard, The
boy for years had been reared by the
padres. When the Indian outbreak
threatened the old mill the lad came
stating he had a message for Nicho-
las. He approached without hindranee
when he suddenly plunged a dagger
into the breast of Nicholas, and from
that time the secret of the location of
the buried treasure was lost. But the
knowledge has come down from the
ages past and is still strong with Mex
leans, as was exemplitied by Colonel
Kewen's father who wished to have
the trees and brush cleared off from
the Old Mil tract, and the labor was
performed without charge by the In
dams and Mexicans, who did 1t cheer
fully in order to search at the same
time for the buried treasure of the
padres

Woman After Vast Fortune

SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. 10.-Seek-
ing in the records of the probate court
some trace of her uncle, supposed to
have died here in the early days leaV-
ing a vast fortune, Mrs. Margaret For
rest of Fallbrook, Mass, is in this
city. Although a careful search has
been made for record of Paul l.. Daw-
son, the supposed wealthy relative,
nothing can be found and Mrs Forrest
is to continue her search through
Southern California.
The last that was heard of Dawson
was in 1887 from this city, but since
that time the family in the east have
lost all trace of him and now beliey-
ing him dead an effort is to be made
to ascertain what became of the for
tune he was said to possess A brief
notice was received fifteen years ago
from some town in Southern California,
the name of which was long since for
gotten, announcing the death of DaW-
son.

MUST GIVE REASONS
FOR ASKING BALLOTS
TO CALL MASS MEETING TO
LISTEN TO CANDIDATES
Citizens Committee Wishes to Find
Out Why Men Seek to Be
Elected to Municipal
Offices
Especial TO The Herald.l

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 10.-Each of
the forty-one candidates for municipal
offices in Santa Monica will be called
on to explain at a big mass meeting
10 be held next Saturday night his
reasons why the electors should vote
for him. The meeting was called to-
day by the citizens committee, of
which L. B. Goodrich is chairman and
C. ID. Middlekauff is secretary. 1t is
to be strictly a non-partisan gathering
and every candidate is to be sent a
special invitation to appear on the
platform and make a short address.
This is the first definite step in the
municipal campaign which opened yes
terday and will last until December Z.
AS there are two women candidates
for the school board the women of
Santa Monica are vitality interested in
the campaign and they also have been
included in the invitation to attend
the meeting.
This plan is adopted by the citizens
committee in order to find out ex-
actly where the various candidates
stand on questions of importance in
the present campaign.
If a candidate does not appear at the
meeting it will be considered refusal
to come out into the open, and in this
case it is expected such candidates
will lose prestige in the campaign.
Politicians familiar with the situation
declare nothing short of a calamity
will keep candidates from the meeting

SELECTS SITE FOR
GRAMMAR SCHOOL
BUILDING TO BE ERECTED IN
WALNUT GROVE
Fifty Thousand Dollar Bond Issue Is
Available for Construction of New
Educational Institution at
Santa Ana
Especial 10 The Herald.l


SANTA Ina, Nov. 10.-The Santa
Ana board of education has decided on
a site for the second of the new gram
mar schools for which, with a manual
training school building, a $4,000 bond
issue was voted last spring. The site
just decided on is the southeast corner
of Ross and West Seventeenth streets,
and Is at present embraced in a ten
acre walnut grove belonging to Mrs. E.
r. Paxton. An offer has been made
for the land, and If 1t is not accepted
the board will condemn the property
desired, which is 3.S1 acres.
Since the bonds were voted last
spring the school board has bought a
site for one grammar school building
and the building is already we'll on the
way to completion. 1t will be ready
for occupancy at the midyear term in
February and will relieve the overflow
of the crowded schools. The board has
also a manual training school build
ing under construction, which will also
be ready for use soon after the first
of the year. The choosing of site
for the proposed new building now be-
ing planned was delayed because of the
difficulty of finding a site, and also
because there was not enough money
left out of the $4,000 bond issue to
buy a site and put up a school build
ing, Inc DodIu, Ho"eNei' las iouiN
that enough money can be saved from
this years school funds to make both
ends meet on the building scheme.
In addition to the grammar and man
ual training school buildings, now be-
ing constructed and soon to be con-
structed, an addition to the high school
building to house the commercial de-
partment, is being built on a site ad-
Joining the high school campus. An
athletic ground has also been pur-
chased, so it can easily be seen that
matters educational in Santa Ana have
been having considerable of a boost.

WILL FILE SUIT AGAINST
BoNDSMEN OF ROY NJ. CARR

LONG BEACH. Nov. 1O.-Another
suit against the bondsmen of Roy N.
Carr, who disappeared suddenly from
Long Beach, leaving in his wake a
host of anxious men and women, is
to be filed for Mrs. Mary Talbert, a
local woman who paid Carr $235 for
two lots In Belmont Heights. The deed

and, it is alleged. several other forged
transfers had been made before the
lots were bought by by Mrs. Talbert.
The claims against Carr's bondsmen
aggregate $1,000. AS he was bonded for
$500, the claims will be prorated. The
bonding company is expected to appre-
hend Carr. If that is possible.
