human skeletons on the prop

of Nine-Mile Canyon."
The mountain monarch,
Emery La Vern Bales, 53,
was in custody here on sex
charges involving his two
daughters, aged 16 and 18,
and his stepdaughter, 21.
Sheriff Sandy Robinson of

daughters were taken into
protective custody July 26,
when they hiked out of the
hills to report Bales to au
thorities. Mining Prospector
Bales, a sometimes mining
prospector, has built himself
a private kingdom, including
a store, school house, Spanish

galows. The girls said Bales' "often
threatened our lives and on
occasion dug up the skeleton
to warn us that the same
thing could happen to us."
They said Bales boasted of
having two other skeletons
hidden in a mine shaft.
Sheriff Robinson said dep
uty John McNally, reported
he found several bones and.
scraps of cloth during a
search of the Bales property
and was shown a photograph
of a complete skeleton which
the family said was buried in
a location known only to
Bales. '
Because of the unusual as
pects of the case, the recently
married stepdaughter was
brought to Visalia from Den

Robinson said she supported
statements taken from the
other girls.
Bales is to be arraigned in
Porterville justice court Mon

His wife and their two sons,
aged 14 and 17, still are at
the family's canyon home.
