PIONEERS HEIRS
SEEK TITLE FOR
TIJUANA LANDS

VENTURA, Calf, Aug. 24-(UP)
Heirs of Santiago Arguello, once
great landholder of Southern Cali
fornia, prepared today to renew
their claim to the land occupied by
Tijuana and Aqua Caliente In Ba-
ia California, upon which has been
erected a 100000 racing plant,
hotel and casino.
Leader in the legal battle is Ser
ora Lucero Vinda de Regrier OF
Beverly Hills, a cousin Of Don
Santiago. She has staked her life
savings in the attempt, and seeks
to bring the heirs of Don Santa
go together after generation OF
disagreement. The area at stake
comprises $4,000 acres of La IL
juana Rancho.
The latest move of the heirs be-
came known here today when Jose
Maria Arguello, one of the heirs
and cousin of Lita Grey Chaplin
divorced wife of Charlie Chaplin,
the comedian, conferred with other
members of the family. He plans
to begin a suit to quiet title to
5000 hectares, or 1000 acres, near
Aqua Caliente.
"Our claims date back just 100
years, when the government of Pho
Pico granted Santiago Arguel!o,
governor of Southern California,
six cities, or 26,625 acres, lying in
the Tijuana basin," Arguello said.
after the death of Santiago in
1862, his widow, of Santa Barbara,
had her title to the vast ranch re-
confirmed by Porfirio Diaz, presi-
dent of Mexico.

BEVERLY HILLS, Aug. %.
(SpeciaD-I just come to the
conclusion that I am the
"dumbest" guy in America. Ev-
erybody I meet and talk to can
tell me exactly who is going
to be elected president.
I never saw a time when
there was as many confident
people on both sides. Why,
when I talk to either a Republi-
can or Democrat and even ask
them why, they look at me like
1 was crazy or kidding EN-,
that I don't already know.
Brisbane says that Hoover
won't carry six states; Will H.
Hays says Roosevelt will only
get one county in Georgia, and
the Virgin Islands" So I
guess am the only person
that don't know. But I am 60
ing to be honest. I just don't.
Voters are mighty unreliable.
You got to become a liar be-
fore you become a voter.

WARFARE.
Clash With Authorities
Near Omaha In At
tempt To Picket.
SITUATION SERIOUS
Governor Orders More
Deputies To Guard
Against Violence.
BY 7. w. INGOLDSBY
United Press Staff Correspondent


OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 24-Violence
flared today as striking farmers
sought to tighten their picket lines
around Omaha.
Tear gas was used by sheriffs
deputies as the angry pickets sought
to stop a fleet of trucks being con-
veyed through the lines near Glen
wood, Iowa, by officers.
The strikers fell back only for a
moment, then reassembled on the
highway.
The tear gas episode eliminated
a series of disturbances which re-
suited in arrest of three strikers,
firing Of one shot by a Council
Bluffs, Iowa, patrolman, and a
free for all fist fight between Off
GERS and strikers.
The fighting occurred when pic
kets invaded Council Bluffs in an
effort to cut off the Douglas street
. bridge, which leads from the Iowa
city into Omaha.
There they halted four trucks.
Strikers swarmed upon the vehicles,
apparently determined to free live
stock being hauled in them.
Patrolmen McTwiggan and Lam
inert rushed to the scene. They
dragged a striker from one truck.
Two Arrested
Others of the group rushed to
his aid, and fists and clubs swung
freely for several moments. Sur
rounded by the threatening men,
McTwiggar drew his pistol, and
fired warning shot at the feet OF
the advancing crowd.
Lammert swung his fist against
the jaw of one OF the pickets, frac-
turing a finger. The car in which
the officers had driven to the scene
was almost overturned, but the pa
trolmen finally made their escape.
They arrested two strikers there,
w. L. Schwery of Panama, and F.
r. Ring of Nicola. Both were lodged
in Jail charged with ohstructing
traffic.
The crowd dispersed as the Off
GERS drove away with their prls-
oners. and returned to the picket
camp on Highway No. "a. There an
attempt was made to stop the con-
voy of trucks being driven through
the lines under guard of deputies
sworn in by Sheriff Percy Lainson.
Deputies stood on running boards
to toss tear gas bombs among the
men as they rushed toward the
trucks IL an attempt to stop them.
