HEIRS At WAR FOR
100000 ESTATE
Abel Stearns' Relatives Want
Property Left by His Widow,
Who Made No Will.

Los ANGELES, Cal, Dec. 4.-Since
the days of the contest over the estate
of Lucky Baldwin no legal battle for
the determination of inheritance claims
has caused more interest than the case
involving the vast estate left by Mrs.
Arcadia Stearns Baker, who die I'd here
on September 25, 1912.
The estate is valued at s7.o00,000 and
at one time belonged to Abel Stearns,
one of the most prosperous pioneers of
California, and was left by him to his
widow when he died about forty years
ago. Seven years after his deaht his
widow married Col. r. S. Baker, a re-
tired 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 will. Her
relatives, of whom there are thirty-seven
in California, made claim for the es-
tate.
Husbands Heirs Seek Property.
Then the question developed as to who
had just claim upon the estate. There
is provision in the California statutes
to the effect that when a widow 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 rela-
tives of Abel Stearns. the founder Of
the great fortune, are making their
claim for the vast estate. Most of the
contesting relatives of Stearns are resi-
dents of New England while practically
all the contesting relatives of Mrs. Bak-
er are residents of California.
The California statute is clear in Its
phraseology and the decision of the case
probably will hinge upon the interpreta-
ton of the law concerning the force and
meaning of a will under certain condi-
tions. When Stearns died he left a will
by which he left to his widow the bulk
of his estate to do with 1t as she saw
fit. The will is not disputed by either
side, but the Eastern contestants claim
that although the will gave the 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 East
ern contestants claim, must revert to
the relatives of the husband. in accord
ance with the statute of the State.
Interesting History of Estate.
The history of the estate is unusually
interesting and dates back to the time
when California was a possession Of
Mexico. Abel Stearns went to Cali
fornia in 1929 and settled at a mission,
now the city Of Los Angeles. When
gold was first found in California,
