stretch the waters of Puget sound,

shore, northward and westward
through the wide strait till they
meet the slow swell of the open
sea and mingle with the waters of

what the latter said was his will, a
year ago. but that she and Mrs. Devoe
had been unable since the old mans
body was found to find that or any

HEIRS OF MINERS START
COURT SUIT OVER RICHES
Relatives of One Man Oppose the
Sale Planned by Others

SAN BERNARDINo, Oct. 29.-Close-
ly connected in legal action that
promises to develop innumerable I'M
usual twists are two dead men, the
relatives of whom are preparing to Sc
cure permission to dispose of the min
ing property of the two men, who
braved, as close friends the perils of
the Mojave waste and died before they
could realize from the success of their
search for gold.
A S. Clark and Robert Goldsberry
were the two dead men, and the rela-
tives of each are fighting against each
other in the step to sell the property,
which, it is said, has indications of
developing into one of the richest
mines on the desert.
The Goldsberry heirs, who, it is
claimed, refused to contribute to the
expense of the assessment work on the
property, which they said from a dis
lance of 5000 miles was not worth
spending money on, desire to sell their
interest to a wealthy syndicate, and
have filed petition with the court for
permission to make the deal.
The heirs of Clark, who have kept
up the assessment work. oppose this
and will attempt to get an order from
the court repudiating the interest OF
the Goldsberry heirs on the ground
that they have failed to bear their
share of the expense of developing the
property.

FAMOUS MUR0ER INQUEST
FAILS To POINT COLT
Jury Declares Aged ReCIuSe Was
Slain but Does Not AC- :
CuSe Suspects

LONG BEACH, oct. 29.-The coro-
ner's inquest into the J. S. Famous case
this morning resulted merely in the de-
cision by the jury of six men that the
aged recluse had been murdered by
some person unknown to them, death
having followed a fracture of the skull
caused by some blunt instrument. Cor
oner Hartwell said the inquest was not
to attempt fixing the guilt upon any
person, but to determine that murder
had been done. The matter, he said,
then would be left to the district at
torney's office.
DR.. F. d. Bishop trephined Ranous'
head today and made a complete
search, but informed the police depart
could be found. No bullet marks were
found on the body. A peculiar-looking
place on the neck possibly was caused
by a bullet wound, but owing to the
condition of the flesh this could not be
determined positively Several wit
nesses at the inquest told of hearing
shot fired in the Ranous house about
o'clock the night of September 81.
The old man was not seen alive after
that night.
The most important evidence brought
out today was given by w. Watson
and r. e. Blair, to whom Samuel Apo
daco, the Mexican suspect, stated, eight
days after Ranous' disappearance, that
the old man had gone to Los Angeles
to consult an attorney regarding hay
ing d. S. Devoe, his son-in-law, ar
rested Ranous, it was said, was angry
with Devoe, claiming the latter owed
him $500 which he had collected but did
rot turn over. Devoe claimed he did
not owe the money, but that, counting
the fertilizer he had hauled to the
place. Ranous was in his debt. These
same witnesses stated that Ranous had

CHAMPION DIVISION OF
SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY
People of Mohave County Start
Movement in Favor of
Home Rule

SAN BERNARDINO, Oct ga
movement to split the largest county
in the United States has been started
at Barsow through the efforts of Ed
itor Nicklin of the 5arstow Printer
NiclIlin and his associates would es-
tablish a new county to embrace the
desert regions of San Bernardino.
The new county, il the wishes of the
Barstow divisiOnists meet with sue
cess, would INCLUDE the towns of Nee
dies, Ludlow, Daggett, Barstow and a
score of other mining and railroad
hamlets scattered over the 900 odd
miles of desert land beyond the San
Bernardino ranges.
Resolutions adopted by the division
lists read as follows;
Whereas, the county of San Ber-
nardino is unreasonably large and
the interests east and west of the
range are Incompatible, therefore be 1t
Resolved, that we advocate home
rule for Mohave river valley and des-
ert, in the interest of economy and
convenience.
Resolved, that with a population of
5000 and taxable property to the value
of $10,000,000 the new desert county is
amply able to assume county govern
ment.
Resolved, that we urgently request
our members of the legislature to
amend the present law, which is in
reality an act to prevent county di-
vision, and place on the statute books
a reasonable county division law, such
as other counties of California have
been permitted to eujoy."
