WILL CHILDREN CONTEST MOTHER'S WILL PROPERTY VALUED AT MORE THAN $50,000 INVOLVED IN LAWSUIT A contest of the will of Mary Jane Neill, who died at Santa Ana in July was filed this week. Attorneys Williams & Rutan and Davis & Rush represented the four children of Mrs. Neill, who are contesting the will: Walter L. Neill of Santa Ana; Ida Beazley, Lillie Kiefhaber and... Neill of Los Angelese. The contest asks that the purported will of Mrs. Neill filed in July be not admitted to probate on three counts, first, that she was not of sound and disposing mind at the time the will was said to have been drawn; second that the will was not drawn according to law and witnessed by Hattie E. Anderson and Edna W. Newcomer at the request of nor in the presence of Mrs. Neill, and third, that if the will is drawn according to law, that Mrs. Neill was unduly influenced in outlining its provisions. The contest alleges that Attorney John Brown of San Bernardino, and other persons, unduly influenced Mrs. Neill against the four children, saying they were her enemies, they wanted to put her back in the insane asylum, and that they had no love nor affection for her. The contest alleges that Mrs. Neill had been in ill in body and mind for over twenty-two years before her death, especially of mind, and had many horse owners at this season of the year find that their horses are troubled by sores which resist usual methods of treatment, and which in this respect differ from ordinary wounds. These growths or sores are supposed to be of fungous origin. Their true nature and cause, however, have not been definitely determined. They are especially pdecalent in the Southern states, and are called summer sores on account of their persistence and the difficulty with which the are healed during the summer season. As cool weather approaches, healing frequently takes place, but there is always the possibility of the wound breaking out anew with the advent of warm weather. They may appear on any portion of the body, but are especially troublesome when occurring on the lower parts of the limbs or at points where the harness touches. Frequently the first indication or appearance of the trouble is a small lump resembling a grain of shot beneath the skin. In a few days the skin sloughs off over the spot, leaving a raw surface. This increases in size until in a few weeks there is a raw surface from 1 to several inches in diameter. Commonly there is intense itching, and the animal bites and rubs the parts, aggravating the condition and increasing the size of the sore. The edges of these sores are usually rough in appearance and raised above the surface of the skin. When examined closely they appear like a mass of dark bruised tissue in which is imbedded more or less of a yellow, gritty growth. Numerous methods of treatment have been resorted to in this condition with varying results, and frequently no improvement is noted until the approach of cold weather. Many cases, however, yield to the following treatment: The wound is thoroughly scraped with a surgeons' sterilized curette, or with a clean, disinfected dull knife, after which it is showered with cold water for 10 or 15 minutes. Iodoform is then dusted on rubbed into the wound by means of a wad of absorbent cotton, and the wound is immed one-half inch from the bottom. The bottles used should also be steamed minutes before being in order to destroy temperature. The great disadvantage of pasteurizing to be the danger of chipped or otherwise may permit of leakage being heated and cured. Such leaks may cause infection, as the water contaminated. In this investigation published slonal paper (No. 2) ment a test with basement whether or not perfectly水 tight necessity of water is done away with pasteurized in bulk still hot. The labor conducted by the cate that milk bottle be capped with or caps and cooled by it If the temperature is 145 deg. to 50 deg., is probable that no crease will take place cooled immediately; it is stated necessary to determine will hold true underditions. FINANCIAL The new statistics ange county's business year ending June by County Auditor and Statistician He issued Friday, and has hundred copies o had been distributed by officers and others. According to the cash on hand at the year on July 1, 1914 the total receipts were $1,498,081.68,$2,816,535.82. Expense out the year were: $2,031,167.47; bonds $321,178.75; percents The contest alleges that Attorney John Brown of San Bernardino, and other persons, unduly influenced Mrs. Neill against the four children, saying they were her enemies, they wanted to put her back in the insane asylum, and that they had no love nor affection for her. The contest alleges that Mrs. Neill had been in ill in body and mind for over twenty-two years before her death, especially of mind, and had been influenced by several persons to give them money without proper considerations, that Ed. McKinsey secured $4000 by getting her to sign notes for him, and that the consequent worry and litigation over these notes caused her mind to become unbalanced. According to the statements Mrs. Neill was adjudged insane in January, 1893, and was sent to the State Insane Asylum, where she remained for 11 years, when she was let out on parole, and that she was again adjudged incompetent on February 23, 1915. Henry Neill, Mrs. Neill's husband died six years ago, leaving his wife an estate valued at more than $50,000. Mrs. Neill's purported will filed for probate made no mention of her four childen, and alleging that this will is not valid and that they are the heirs of the estate, the children are starting proceedings looking toward breaking the will. The contest alleges that Brown, the executor of the estate according to the will, was given $40,000 by the terms of the will by using his influence on Mrs. Neill's weakened mind. GOLD PRODUCTION IN THE ALASKAN FIELDS More Than $60,000,000 has Been Taken from the Juneau Belt The first gold mining in Alaska was in the Juneau gold belt, where operations were begun about 35 years ago. More than $60,000,000 worth of gold has been produced from this region. Most of this gold has been taken from the mines near Juneau, which is the largest gold mining camp in Alaska. The auriferous belt is, however, known to stretch for some 50 miles to the north and includes the Eagle river region, described in a report by Adolph Knopf. This report, unlike many others on mining districts in lining its provisions. Numerous methods of treatment have been resorted to in this condition with varying results, and frequently no improvement is noted until the approach of cold weather. Many cases, however, yield to the following treatment: The wound is thoroughly scraped with a surgeons' sterilized curette, or with a clean, disinfected dull knife, after which it is showered with cold water for 10 or 15 minutes. Iodoform is then dusted on rubbed into the wound by means of a wad of absorbent cotton, and the wound is immediately covered with a layer of collodion. The iodoform and collodion applications are repeated every 24 hours for 15 days or until the sores heal. Ether or chloroform may be used in place of iodoform, being poured on cotton and applied to the sore for two minutes before painting it with collodion. Formalin has been used by injecting it into the tissues. This, however, should be used only by a qualified veterinarian, as its improper use might cause severe sloughing and disastrous results. Not infrequently a valuable stallion becomes affected, in which case the genital organs may become involved and incapacitate the animal for breeding purposes. In such instances the injection of 75 to 100 grains of salvarsan, or neosalvarsan, into the blood circulation, has proved almost a specific. This, however, should be carried out only by a competent veterinarian. It should also be considered that a single injection of this preparation costs from $15 to $20, and its use is therefore advisable only for the treatment of valuable animals. FARMERS' INSTITUTES Both the number of farmers' institutes held each year and the attendance at these meetings is steadily increasing, according to a report on farmers' institute work which has just been published by the department of agriculture as Bulletin No. 269. During the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, the report says, 25,238 of these institutes were held throughout the country, with a total attendance of 3,656,381. This is an increase in attendance of 26 per cent over that of any previous year. On the other hand the expense of conducting the work was nearly $63,000 less than last year, the total cost for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, being $447,897.51. The farmers' institute organization conducts its work under many different forms, so that it is almost impossible to summarize its activities briefly. For example, in addition to the ordinary meetings there were movable schools in 13 states which had a registered attendance of 112,498 different people. Field demonstration meetings were also held in 15 states, although no records of the attendance was kept. Special railroad trains were organized in 17 other issued Friday, and a hundred copies of it had been distributed to officers and others. According to the cash on hand at the year on July 1, 1914, the total receipts were $1,498,081.68,$2,816,535.82. Expense out the year were: $2,031,167.47; bonds $221,178.75; personal trust fund $4,279.35; 142.14; leaving a hand July 1 1915 on ESTATE OF LATE YORBA Mrs. Johnson, a Graff Petition Claiming tribution of Property Mrs. Beatrice A., son, a resident of New York through her attorney and J. Mack Love, in week plunged into state of Bernardo Y father who passed 20, 1858. At that time valued at $200,000; it is worth $200,000 pality left by Yorba Spanish grant of 162 in Riverside county. The petition is based that although a will estate was filed at property never has tributed. According son, her father never tion, and as he was children, he was en anteenth of the great portion now; it was offices of the attorney than $17,000,000. More than $60,000,000 worth of gold has been produced from this region. Most of this gold has been taken from the mines near Juneau, which is the largest gold mining camp in Alaska. The auriferous belt is, however, known to stretch for some 50 miles to the north and includes the Eagle River region, described in a report by Adolph Knopf. This report, unlike many others on mining districts in Alaska, which are of a reconnaissance character, treats of the region in detail. It is entitled Geology and Mineral Resources of the Eagle River Region, Alaska, and is accompanied by a topographic map on a scale of a mile to the inch, with 100-foot contours, by J. W. Bagley, and a detailed geologic map on the same scale. Gold bearing lodes constitute the mineral resources of the Eagle River region under development. The ore bodies occur in certain geologic associations which are described in the report and shown on the map. The precious metal deposits at Tonopah, Nev., were discovered in 1900, when the mining industry generally in Nevada had 'sunk to a very low level. The discovery greatly stimulated prospecting and led to the revival of mining throughout the state. The district has produced silver and gold to the total value of more than 60,000,000 from veins of Tertlary volcanic rocks. The discovery of gold at Goldfield in 1902 was a direct outcome of the development at Tonopah. The deposits here also occur in Tertlary volcanic rocks, but in form and character they are entirely different from the Tonopah veins. The total production from Goldfield to the end of 1913 was over $65,000,000 in gold and silver. Of late years considerable copper has been recovered from the concentrates of the Goldfield mills. The farmers' institute organization conducts its work under many different forms, so that it is almost impossible to summarize its activities briefly. For example, in addition to the ordinary meetings there were movable schools in 13 states which had a registered attendance of 112,498 different people. Field demonstration meetings were also held in 15 states, although no records of the attendance was kept. Special railroad trains were organized in 17 other states to aid in giving lectures and demonstrations. A detailed analysis of this work, showing the number of different kinds of meetings in each state, the attendance, and the duration of each, is contained in the bulletin already mentioned. This bulletin also contains a number of notes on agricultural extension work of a similar nature in foreign countries. BOTTLING MILK HOT Evaporation Losses and Danger From Leaky Caps Done Away With That the process of pasteurizing milk in bulk and then bottling it while hot in hot steamed bottles produces as satisfactory bacterial reductions as pasteurizing the milk in bottles is one of the conclusions of a recent investigation by the department of agriculture conducted on this subject. The investigators found that the new process eliminated the danger of bottle infection and had the further advantages of saving the loss in milk caused by evaporation over the cooler and of allowing the use of ordinary cardboard caps. Satisfactory bacterial reductions, it was found, were obtained when the milk was pasteurized in bottles, holding it at a temperature of 145 deg. for 30 minutes. It was also found, however, that there was a great difference in the temperature of the milk at the top of the bottle and at the bottom. If milk at 50 deg. F. is put into bottles surrounded by water at 146 deg. F. the milk in the top of the bottle will reach 140 deg. about 9 minutes before that in the bottom. It is desirable, therefore to have a thermometer in one bottle with the bulb about nearly $60,000 less than last year, the total cost for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, being $447,897.51.

He passes and now it is claimed has not been admin- and there never has count rendered. Mrs. Johnson does one-half inch from the bottom. The bottles used in this process should also be steamed for at least 2 minutes before being filled with milk in order to destroy organisms which might be able to survive the pasteurizing temperature. The great disadvantage in this process of pasteurizing in bottles is said to be the danger that bottles with chipped or otherwise imperfect tops may permit of leaks while the milk is being heated and cooled under water. Such leaks may cause dangerous infection, as the water may easily be contaminated. In a report of the investigations published as a professional paper (No. 240) of the department a test with barium chlorid to determine whether or not the cap is perfectly水 tight is described. The necessity of water tight caps, however is done away with when the milk is pasteurized in bulk and bottled when still hot. The laboratory experiments conducted by the investigators indicate that milk bottled in this way may be capped with ordinary cardboard caps and cooled by a blast of cold air. If the temperature is reduced from 145 deg. to 50 deg. within 5 hours, it is probable that no more bacterial increase will take place than if it is cooled immediately. Future experiments, it is stated, however, will be necessary to determine whether this will hold true under commercial conditions. FINANCIAL REPORT The new statistical report of Orange county's business for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915, compiled by County Auditor Wm. C. Jerome and Statistican Helen Craemer, was issued Friday, and before noon almost a hundred copies of the 500 ordered had been distributed among the county officers and others interested. According to the report there was cash on hand at the beginning of the year on July 1, 1914, $1,318,454.14, and the total receipts during the year were $1,498,081.68, making a total of $2,816,535.82. Expenditures throughout the year were: Warrants cashed $2,031,167.47; bonds and interest paid $221,178.75; personal property rebate one-half inch from the bottom.

THE CAT CAME BACK About two weeks ago the Placentia Orange Association shipped a car of oranges to Kansas City. The packing house cat by mistake was locked up in the car eight days without food or water. The buyer notified the association. As it was the best mouser the association ever had it was shipped back to Placentia by express by request. Within a few minutes after the cat was released in the Placentia packing house it was on the outlook for rats and is as active as ever. ESTATE OF LATE BERNANDO YORBA IN LITIGATION Mrs. Johnson, a Granddaughter, Files Petition, Claiming No Legal Distribution of Property was Made Mrs. Beatrice A. Yorba-Arnaz-Johnson, a resident of San Francisco, through her attorneys, A. F. Campbell and J. Mack Love, in Los Angeles last week plunged into litigation the estate of Bernardo Yorba, her grandfather, who passed away November 20, 1858. At that time the estate was valued at $200,000, now is is claimed, it is worth $200,000,000.. The principality left by Yorba consisted of a Spanish grant of 162,000 acres located in Riverside county. The petition is based on the claim that, although a will disposing of the etsate was filed and probated, the property never has been legally distributed. Accordingly to Mrs. Johnson, her father never received his portion, and as he was one of seventeen children, he was entitled to one-seventeenth of the great property. That portion now, it was asserted at the offices of the attorneys, is worth more than $17,000,000.

The petition is based on the claim that, although a will disposing of the etsate was filed and probated, the property never has been legally distributed. According to Mrs. Johnson, her father never received his portion, and as he was one of seventeen children, he was entitled to one-seventeenth of the great property. That portion now, it was asserted at the offices of the attorneys, is worth more than $17,000,000. The original will executed by the elder Yorba was written in Spanish. It bears date of November 4, 1858, and named three of his sons, Raymondo, Prudenclo and Leonardo Yorba, as executors. Investigation has resulted that only one of the old Spainard's seventeen children now is living. This is Theodosia Yorba, an aged resident of Whittier. The provisions contained in the old will, an English copy of which accompanied the petition recalls early day history of California. Among other things bequeathed by Yorba to his heirs were huge bands of wild horses, bands of sheep, wagons with homemade wheels, a grist mill operated by water power and herds of cattle. The property left by Yorba included what was known as the Cajon de Santa Anita San Antonio ranch. Mrs. Johnson says a distribution of the estate was ordered many years ago but that the court was without jurisdiction. The three executors named in the will, she adds, continued to act until November, 1873, when they were discharged, but prior to that time the legal heirs had not been ascertained. In July, 1896, Mrs. Johnson continues, an administrator was appointed. He passed away in 1903, and now it is claimed that the estate has not been administered on since and there never has been a final account rendered. Mrs. Johnson does not ask for her own appointment as administrator of the estate, but has nominated Thomas H. Wright for that position. The Garden Grove picking plant has already on hand 38,000 gallons of cucumber pickles and expects to put up 100,000 gallons this season. Owing to a short crop in the east the managers expect a good market, probably cleaning off the entire output before the holidays. This is a new venture, but promises to be a success. The orange growers of Garden Grove have elected a committee, which was empowered to act under the state law and procure articles of incorporation for an organization to be known as the Garden Grove Citrus association. They will proceed at once to take out the necessary papers. All that remains in order to have a full-fledged association is to adopt by-laws. The committee which will act as temporary board of directors, is composed of J. O. Arkley (chairman), J. W. Grill, Milo Allen, W. W. Dungan, Ed. Dozler, W. L. Russell and C. A. Westgate. Juan Ileto and Augustina Torres both of Anaheim have been granted license to marry. California Wine Co. Finest Brands of Wines and Liquors Always In Stock.
