COMMUNITY PROPERTY DECISION

VISALIA, Aug. BY a decision
handed down today, Judge Wallace in
the superior court laid down the prin-
ciple that property decided by husband
to wife shall be regarded as communi-
ty property if the same is purchased
with community funds. The decision
was rendered in the case of F. L.
Eaton vs.. l.. C. LOcey, the public ad
miniStrator
According to the evidence, Mr.
Eaton purchased 80 acres of land, now
valued at $4,000 and decided the same
to his wife. She passed away short
time afterward and Locey applied for
letters of administration as she left no
will, it being Mr. Locey's contention
that the property should be treated
as personal. Mr.. Eaton claimed the
property under the California law.
which gives all community property TO
the husband i'll case of wife's death.
and this view of the case was shared
by the court.

at this meeting there was a complete

land situated in the Dent section.
The agent of the general land office
at Washington preferred charges
against Barton's entry, alleging that
he had failed to establish and main
tain a residence on the land; that he
had failed to cultivate the land and
that he did not take the land for
home, but for speculation purposes.
The decision rendered cites that there
seems to have been several acres cul

constructed on the place, and furth-

assisted in constructing considerable
roads in the vicinity of the home

Lorimer asserted that he had spent

to show the expenditure of $4,000.
He said if it had not been for his
