That dear old neighbor we knew as

was no relation. of course, except that
her tender old heart made her 'Aunty'
to all the young people And how she
did love the young mothers!
One who remembers her says:
we could always depend on 'Aunty'
for good sound advice. She was par
ticularly well informed food and
what to use for certain troubles.
After having taught in the public
schools for years my health became
bad and 1 suffered frequently from in
digestion After my marriage l had
indigestion SO badly it became chronic.
Owing to my condition my little
baby did not get proper nourishment
and was a very delicate child. | had
about decided to put her artificial
food altogether when the advice of
dear old .Aunty' put the baby and /
on the right road.
"She insisted upon my trying Grape
Nuts food declaring that it would help
me and give baby more nourishment,
so TO please her | did, trying 1t for
breakfast. The result was so marked
and so quick that | ate it for luncheon
too and | must say the change has been
wonderful. [ have good health now
and baby is a strong active child
My mother says that Grape Nuts
helps her more and keeps her more
cheerful and happy than anything else
she has ever done. Truly pure, scien-

LONG FIGHT OVER
SALf.fOR TAXES
Attorney James III. Boyer Claims
Property Purchased by F. A.
deIhaus in 1904
Lot Sold as Delinquent for ST76,
Although Marked on Book
as Redeemed

81 Five years litigation over a piece OF
. property at shotweH and Twenty sixth
( Streets has reached climax in the
local courts and a decision viii soon
be rendered which will determine IN
ally fhe ownership. Of the land. The
l0t is claimed by both Frank A Gel
haus and James H. Boxer, a local at
foTues. The Hibernias bank, through
it's attorneys, TObin & Tobin and Frank
A. Britain has interviewed in behalf
OF Ge3haus.
IT appears from the records that Gel
haus purchased the property in June,
se4, III the. probate court from the es-
tate Of JOHN H. MCDONALD for $4,000.
The land has advanced in value rapidly
and some time ago The Hibernia bank
lent Gelhaus s. 500 on the realty. Gel
haas has erected an apartment house
on the site.
PROPERTY SOLD FOR TAXES
Boyer's claim is based on a sale for
delinquent taxes. The taxes had been de-
linquent. but on the tax collectors books
b appeared the stamp Redeemed" The
state records in Sacramento. however,
showed no. redemption. Edward j.
Smith. since sent TO the penirentiary for
embRzSlement, was tax collector az the
time.
Within month after the sale TO
Gelhaus. despite the fact that his title
had been guaranteed by TWO compa-
MES the property was disposed of as
delinquent for the sum of sl7s.1O II
was bought in al this price by a trio
composed Of II. NJ Anthony. George A
Webster and Frank J. Ghiselh They
pressed their claim, but as soon ss
Ghiselli learned the facts he refused
70 be q party to the proceedings The
claims az Anthony and Webster have
since passed into the hands of Boyer.
INJUNCTION STOPS SUN
Boyer has.1iled freauent suits against
Gelhaus in .sndeaVOr TO gain title,
but has as ostsa.- been stopped by in
Junction proceedings. He has. now in
stttuted.a fresh suit before Judge Stur-
fevsns, but has been restrained again
as the result Of counter proceedings
. fore Judge Graham In securing the
n5uncfion Attorney Britain ALLEGED
that the extended Irrigation was an at
tempt on the part Of Boyer TO force
Cellars and the Hibernia bank 10 pay
him 10 desist. The case VIII come UP
again on MAY s. when Boyer viii argue
before Judge Graham 10 have the in
junction dissolved.
The claim OF these people to Gel
haus9 property" said Attorney. Britain
s=es1e rdsy. %has been nothing more than
a conspiracy TO defraud This man, who
has the savings OF a lifetime invested.
They have no ground on which -
stand except an alleged mistake IN the
entering of one word Ola the assess
meni roll Their claim is ridiculous.
We don't intend 10 make any conces-
sfops whatever in this litigation. Law
and equity take no notice of the alb
sund sa lea for sl76. The property today
is worth more than So. COO"

That millions of dollars of eastern
capital are awaiting investment in San

terday by Isidor Jacobs, an active
member of the Good Government
league, who has Just returned from

Jacobs. he hears far more Of San

People marvel more at the successful
establishment of an honest and eff

buildings. They count our reform
movement as our greatest asset. and it
is because Of it that the financiers are
eager to invest here"
While abroad Jacobs made special
inquiry into the mana cement of pub

at a luncheon given by the business
interests of Bristol, Eng. The citi-

said Jacobs. we are far behind the
times. Our present harbor board has
begun the work which we should have
undertaken many years ago. At Avon

basins with perfect equipment. They
are making this expenditure of $20,-

stream OF guests passed on to
the banquet, while again festive
music pervaded the hotel. For
two hours more a steady stream
of guests arrived to be satisfied.
and to go away with blessings on
the heads of the kind hearted
donors. At 8 O'Clock every desire
seemed to be fulfilled. as far as
eating goes. The hunters served
without money and without

It was impossible to keep a rec
ord, but in the main dining room
some such effort had been made.
and nearly 100 guests had sat
down to feast in the course Of
the seven hours.

If there is to be noted any
occurrence of the week. deserv-
ing of elaborate mention, more
than others. that event is by all
odds the grand spread served at
the Palace hotel on Tuesday
afternoon and evening. And
this invitation was for all, re
gardless of trade. creed, color
or previous condition of serv-
itude. No wonder, then, that
Tuesday afternoon Lennon was
clothed, as it were, in holiday
mood. and everybody's look be-
tokened an era of good will.
Messrs. A. E. Schaal, w. r.
Gettraan. Otto Rodenbour and J.
P. Sternhagen arrived. as here
tofore noted, last week from a
deer hunting trip to the Black
Hills. They had been eminently
successful, for, besides feasting
on camp cooked venison for two
weeks they brought with them
six fine carcasses-for their
friends. Here was the rub-Ed
Schaal has quite a bunch of
friends, so has Bill Gettman,
ditto Otto, ditto the genial Joe.
So, no matter how much the lists
were revised, it always came to
the same result-that the list
included pretty much everybody
in and about Lennon.
And then came the high re-
solve which was acted out Tues
day in a manner unique, and
most charming and hospitable.
There is something specially in
viting about bid to partake of
a loin of venison. We can buy,
beg, barter or steal a fine piece
of beef, joint of mutton, a side
Of pork, a fat goose or a turkey
but venison, ah! Our mouth
begins to water it's meant only
for the elect, the few, the royal
ties of earth to indulge in such a
feast.
And so. Tuesday afternoon,
at one o'clock, there was On hand
a big assembly of gourmands, To
take the hospitable hunter bunch
at their word. When the doors
opened, in an instant every seat
was taken, and expectancy began
to find fruition in satisfaction.
The Lennon orchestra mean
while discoursed melody while
the merry feast went on, and a
large force of attendants took
every pain to meet the wishes of
the guests. The first table
cleared, (the dining room seats
nearly seventy people, and the
restaurant lobby as many more),
there was a second and a third.
And, like the widows cruise of
oil, there seemed to be no dearth
of provender toothsome and at
tractive. Throughout the after
noonthere never was a time when
there were not at least ten or
twelve people eating. The fol-
