A civil suit which has come to be. known
as an old time Et£.ndby in the history of
California jurisprudence was revived yes
terday in the United States District Court
In the form of a petition of Intervention
filed by John C. Hayes and Betty -B. Mc-
Mullin, which seeks a resurvey of the old
Vicente Peralta estate on the shores of
the Oakland tidal canal. Thi3 action re
calls a case- with a history.
On January 21, 1852, the heirs of Vi
cente Peralta, once an extensive land
holder in the early history of Alameda
County, entered a claim to an extensive
tract of land along the estuary in Oak
land, basing their rights upon an old
Spanish and Mexican land grant. The
case, which failed in the District Court,
was appealed to the United States Su
preme Court and there the validity of the
claims was allowed and surveys ordered.
On January 29 the litigation w"as re
opened In the District Court on the claim
that the former surveys were Incorrect
and did not Include some 3000 acres of land
which are now in the heart of Oakland
and are worth a fabulous sum. The Dis
tiict Court decided, against'the suit and
It3 decision was affirmed by the. Supremo
Court. The writ of Intervention filed yes
terday therefore ' reopens a litigation of
almost fifty years* standing. . '^
Are Brought Before District

Returning from California to the East
after the civil war, Mr. Schell settled in
Indiana and resided there a number of
years. He went to Washington as an at
tache of the House of Representatives
under the administration of Speaker
MlchaeJ C. Kerr of Indiana. Colonel
Schell was a close personal friend of the
late' Associate Justice Field of the Su
preme Court, their, friendship dating back
from early times in California.
Mr. Schell was' a man of large stature
and fine appearance, and until very re
cently was in robust health for one of his
age. He had been married for more than
half a century, his wife, three sons and
four daughters surviving him. •
California .was reached at last and an
overland route to the gold fields opened
to others. Captain Schell 'remained in
California for twenty-five years, with the
exception of frequent trips East. In his
various trips back and forth across the
plains he became familiar with the In
dians, but still had many narrow escapes
from death. An acquaintance with
Colonel William Cody was formed at this

disease took a form which necessitated
the amputation of one of his limbs, which
he endured with the fortitude which was
a characteristic of his long life. The op
eration was, however, unavailing and, af
ter lingering for a day. he died.
Colonel Schell was born in Frederick,
Md., in 1S27, but early went to the West.
He served in the Kentucky legion
through the Mexican war, and was a
member of the small and ever-decreasing
band of Mexican veterans which has
yearly called on the President New Year
day. He was also a member of the local
Society of California Pioneers.
During the Mexican war he acquitted
himself with distinction. He was at the
.taking of Chapultcpec and engaged in
many battles and skirmishes. At the
close of the war he found himself on the
frontier, with a naturally roving disposi
tion already excited by the life in the
West. Just at this time the news came
.that gold had been discovered in Califor
nia, and the boy of twenty-two caught
the fever. He returned to Indiana for his
young wife, and together they went to
St. Joseph, Mo., the starting point of the
early travelers to California. His train

of leader of the first expedition to the
