 tablish Claim


 proprietor of California, is claimed by l6-year- old Beatrice Anita Baldwin, the daughter of Mrs. w. B. Turnbull of Brookline, on the grounds that she is the legitimate daughter of Baldwin and rightful her. Suit has been begun in the interest of the Brookline girl, in Los Angeles by Timothy w. Coax ley, formerly of this city.
 By the starting of the new action the case of her mother, formerly Miss Lilli- an A. Ashley of Winchester, for recog- milton as the common-law wife of Bald win is recalled.
 The youthful claimant has been in select boarding school near New York City, and will soon return home and prepare for the long western sojourn with her mother. Walter B. Grant, a lawyer in the Kimball building, who was looking after Mrs. Turnbull $ inter- ests in Boston, states that proceedings in the suit will be pushed to a decision rapidly.
 Miss Ashley's case against the mill ionaire turfman of fourteen years ago was dramatic one, under the guild ance of former Governor John D. Long, and very near eliminated in a victory for the claimant. Her defeat was at tributed to the nasty action of her sister, who became so enraged at some of the testimony which was brought out near the close of the trial that she fired a bullet that barely missed the millionaire s head, and this is said to have prejudiced the jury against the side
 The Baldwin estate has suffered from many claims of the same nature, follow ing the death of Lucky" Baldwin. The widow of the plunger was turned off with a mere $l00,000, the threat be- ing made that if she caused any trouble she would be cut off with nothing. She did make trouble, however, and secured an added judgment of $1,25O,OOO.
 In the interim, Mrs. Rosella Robin son Selby, the wife of an Oakland candy dealer, has also claimed to be child of the deceased and exhibited property worth $25,000 which she proved had been deeded to her by Baldwin. Her suit brought $l00,000 additional
 Minor Has Until Majority o
 According to the California code, no final settlement of an estate can be made until one year has elapsed, nor can it be settled to the detriment of a minor until that minor shall have attained legal age and the right to self defense in the courts. The suit of Beatrice Anita Baldwin will thus pre- vent any final adjustment of the estate for two years, unless her claims are met or disallowed en- tirely.
 "LIcky" Baldwin s death, which oc- cured little over a year ago, showed an estate which was valued insthe in ventory at $15,O00,000 but which, it is claimed, has increased in value to at least $2O,O000O0. His will recog nized only three daughters. These were Clara Baldwin Stocker of Arcadia and Anita Baldwin McClaughrey of Berkeley, by his first two wives, and also Rosella Robinson Selby, whose mother is unknown, and who had never been known as daughter of the mill ionaire until the probating of the will.
 The career of the millionaire plung CT, gold miner and hotel proprietor has been as full of romance as one of the best sellingo novels, and his pen chant for good speculation was as successful as his well-known love of fast horses and beautiful women was His three marriages and one divorce brought much "advertis ing" as he used to put it. And the notOriety which came from two revol- yer attacks made upon him, one by the sister of Miss Ashley and another by a girl who claimed cousinship to him and who carried the charge into court that he had seduced and deserted her, has added much to the excitement of his varied carer
 Attacks Selby Claimant
 Beatrice Anita Baldwin, who has never seen the man she calls father, except as 2-year-old girl, when her mother was bringing suit in the Los courts for settlement, has been at boarding school just outside of New York for two years, but will drop everything in order to make the trip and court fight for her mother s side. Her case will involve a dispute over the right of Rosella Selby to claim a share in the estate, under the simple statement of the Baldwin will, and will force the petition for a full third share in the $20,000,000 estate.
 The case will be conducted in her
