FIGHT OVER BIG
ESTATE IS ON
Millions at Stake in Contest
Between Stearns Heirs
in California.

Los Angeles. Cal. Dec. 5.-Since
the DAYS of the contest owe the es-
tate of Lucky" Baldwin 40 legal bat
tie for the determination Of inherit
lance claims has caused more inter-
est than the case involving the vast
estate left by Mrs. .Arcandia Stearns
Baker, who died here on September
25. 1912. which Is on the docket for
trial tomorrow in the Los Angeles
superior court. Some of the most
noted lawyers of the state, assisted
by equally noted legal experts from
other states will be arrayed against
each other in this remarkable case.
The estate. which is valued at
$1,000. 900 at II time belonged to
Abel Stearns. n Of the most pros
porous pioneers of California and was
left by him to his widow when he
died about forty years ago. Seven
years after his death his widow mar
ried Colonel r. S. Baker. a retired
army officer without property. who
died ten years afterward. When Mrs.
Baker died more than a year ago it
was found that she had left no viii.
Her relatives, Of whom there are
thirty-seven in California, made a
claim for the estate which had been
turned over for administration to the
Title Insurance and Trust Company
Of Los Angeles.
Then the question developed as to
who had a just claim upon the estate.
There is a provision in the California
statutes to the effect that when a WI
dow dies without issue and without
leaving a will the property she had
obtained from the deceased husband
and had not disposed Of during her
life time, reverts to the heirs Of the
husband. 1t is under this provision
that the forty or more relatives Of
Abel Stearns. the founder Of the great
fortune. are making their claim for
tho ast estate. Most Of the cor.
testing relatives. Of Stearns are resi-
dents Of New England, while practi-
cally all the %contesting relatives Of
Mrs. Baker are residents of California.
The California statute is quite clear
in it's phraseology and the decision Of
the, case will probably hinge upon the

certain conditions. When Stearns
died he left a will by which he left
his widow the bulk of his estate to
DO with it as she saw fit. The will
is not disputed by either side. but the
Eastern contentants of the estate
widow possession and control Of the
property while she lived. It lost its
force when SHE died without leaving
a will. Under these conditions the
property, the Eastern contestants
claim, must revert to the relatives OF
the husband, in accordance with the
statute of the state.
The history of the estate in ques-
ton is unusually interesting and
dates back to the time when Califor-
mia was Il possession of Mexico. Abel
Stcarns was born as the son Of q
poor farmer at Lunenburg. Mass. in
1898. AS a young man he embarked
in business near Boston, but failed n
Went to Mexico, where he prospected
and traded. In 1925 he went to Cali
fornia and settled at a mission, now
the city of Los Angeles. He started
business as a trader and became very
wealthy. When gold was first found
in California, Stearns became inter-
ested in placer mining and it was by
him that the first shipment of gold
from California to the mint at Phila.
delphia was made.
At h age of %forty-six Stearns mar
ried the 1~4-year-old daughter Of Don
Juan Bandini, a wealthy Mexican Of
good family. When California was
made a part Of the United States.
Stearns who was then considered the
wealthiest man in the state, was cleo.
ted a member of the constitutional
convention. which framed the ION.
stitution of the state. Later he served
as a member of the state senate foi.
a number Of years. His land holdings
were enormous and at one time he
owned estates ~aggregating 1900
square miles in California. He lost a
considerable part Of his holdings
when the United States ACQUIRED
California, through the refusal Of the
American government to recognize
his title to the lands. Yet, when
Stearns died at San Francisco in
1871, he loft a vast fortune. includ-
ing the Laguna ranch. on the south
east border Of Los Angeles and COM.
prtsing about 5000 acres and valued
at 500 an acre.
The legal battle which is to begin
tomorrow in the Superior Court is
attracting a great deal Of attention
owing to the great value Of the estate
in question and it is believed that, no
matter what the decision Of the court
may be the defeated side Of the con-
test will consider it worth while to
carry the case to the higher courts.
In that case the final decision and
With it the distribution OF he estate
may be postponed for a number Of
years.
