  The magnetic properties of a system of coexisting localized spins and
conduction electrons are investigated within an extended version of the one
dimensional Kondo lattice model in which effects stemming from the
electron-lattice and on-site Coulomb interactions are explicitly included.
After bosonizing the conduction electrons, is it observed that intrinsic
inhomogeneities with the statistical scaling properties of a Griffiths phase
appear, and determine the spin structure of the localized impurities. The
appearance of the inhomogeneities is enhanced by appropriate phonons and acts
destructively on the spin ordering. The inhomogeneities appear on well defined
length scales and can be compared to the formation of intrinsic mesoscopic
metastable patterns which are found in two-fluid phenomenologies.
