Tobacco company but now retlred

and a palatial home on South orange
Grove avenue, proved his oelle1 ~
the future of California today when ne
purchased the mammoth Tequesquito
ranch in the Santa Clara valley, pay
ing for it with one check for $1I5,O00.
The sum paid is said in reports on the
property which have been made to MI
Emery and the real estate firm of VIII
liam r. Stats company, through Wnon
the deal was perfected, to be but
1.-THE of the actual value of the prop.
erty. which by the expenditure OF
about $100, 900 in improvements VIII De
easily worth million dollars.
The ranch, one of the original span
ish grants, contains in round numbers
ia. 900 acres, and is situated partly in
San Benito county and partly in Santa
Clara county. There are four classes
of land included in the ranch-one OF
about 1000 acres of oVerfloWed land
along the river bottom which is culti-
waited in the summer after the waters
have subsidized, and produces big crops
of beets, potatoes and beans.
There are about 5000 acres of lane
suitable for hay or grain in its pres
ent condition, but which, If put under
irrigation, would be suitable for alfalf1
or fruit trees. There are 1000 acres OF
pasture land, a fine lake which is at
present rented to a duck shooting club
and the home place. which includes
many acres of fruit trees and hill OF
thirty acres, on the summit of which is
the house, a comfortable modern struc-
ture of ten rooms, commanding mag
nificent view of the entire upper END
of the Santa Clara valley.
The rest of the ranch is in undevel-
oped land. The entire ranch is ditched
and cross ditched and can easily be
put under irrigation. Some idea of
the size of the ranch can be obtained
from the fact that it has within its
boundaries seventy-five miles of fences
and about fifty-two miles of ditch. with
twenty-five artesian wells. Mr.. Emery,
1t is understood bought simply as an
investment and will put the place in
first class condition.

Especial to The Herald

SAN BERNARDINO, May ga. D.
Sproul of Chino was probably fatally
stabbed this morning in fight with
man whom, although he declares he
does not know him, he claims he
picked up along the road and took
home. 1t is evident that the men who
had consumed a considerable amount
of liquor, got into quarrel, with the
result that the stranger drew his
knife, stabbing Sproul three times,
twice under the heart and once
through the lungs.
The wounded man steadily refuses to
give any information in regard to the
identity of the man who did the cut
ting, and the sheriff is inclined to be-
lieve that there is great deal more
in the story than Sproul is willing to
tell, and that he knows his assa1lant.
Sheriff Ralphs, together with Deputy
Lamberts, in response to message
from the two men already working on
the case, Under Sheriff Ward and Dep
uty Hewins, left for Chino this after
noon. They are determined to run
down the man who did the stabbing
and learn the full details of the affair.

At 1.43 Friday afternoon the fire
alarm was sounded for brisk blaze
that was under way in the building
known as the McKinsley block, 44C
and 444 Water street. The Alert host
team is stationed almost opposite the
building and the boys soon had a stream
of water playing on the flames and
were soon assisted by the II. w. Jew
EFT and Eagle Hose Co. The flames
were soon extinguished and the all-out
was blown at 1.55. The building was
owned by A. F.. Lewis of Farmingdale
who. with an assistant was repairing
a paper roof The material they Were
using was being warmed on the kitchen
stove and in so doing some boiled over
and at once the room was a mass Of
flames. While the building was dam
aged only in the kitchen by the fire,
the entire building was deluged with
water as the fire was eating between
the walls. The lower floor was used by
l.. E. McKinsley as a store and while
the goods We're at once covered, some
were wet. The second floor is let to
roomers but their goods were removed
before the water reached them. Will
liam Gordon also has a tenement or,
this floor and his goods We're well
smoked up. The loss on the building
will be about $500, covered by insur-
ance. Miss McKinsley's loss will prob
ably be about 5000, covered by q policy
of $500 in the MaXcy agency.
