South Yuba bitches.

George w. Kidd and I" James Wharton
by" complain of the talents Of misrepre
sentation and abuse" &C., Of the Editor of The
1 Nevada JOURNAL in reference to their ditch
4 and show their sincerity by tone of abuse
that it would be impossible to parallel in any
thing he has written on the subject Now VIZ
intend to review the philippe of George
w. Kidd and "James Whartenby," and fthert
) is any falsehood we shall nail it down. We
should have bec1 disposed to have treated
these men as gentlemen if they would have al
!, lowed us to do SOTO have treated matters oi
, difference as matters of opinion and not oi
yeracity, but they force upon US the latter view
of the case, and perforce we must draw the
inference, if we prove their statement is incor-
rect, that they are Intentionally so.
"George w. Kidd 4" and james Whar-
tenby" say:
I'VE have never Intentionally interfer-
red with the works Of the prospectus,
and have no objections to their building as
many bitches and Canals as they please, but
the aggressions are and have been all on their
side, and until this time we have taken no
notice of them, and but for the increasing per-
tinacity of the Editor Of the Journal would not
do so now."
This, by their own rule Of decision, is false
hood No. l. They and their satellites went
/, this very season to the very spot where the
survey ofthe South Yuba Ditch terminated on
the Yuba, with a force of about forty men,
and ;umpnd tba ,ocit;o, f>r {Lo lo,, sc H.
South Yuba Company. When they were ex
postulated with for this act of aggression, they
refused to yield the position, and by force held
it against the South Yuba Company, compel-
ing the latter to commence suit to gain their
rights, or to abandon their plan of getting the
water into Omega, &c. Notwithstanding this
most violent act of usurpation, these veracious
men say they have committed no aggressions.
Inference! They cannot deny the fact, for it
is notorious, and it was equally notorious to
T them before they took the STEP that that was
: the location of the other company Still they
say they have never Intentionally nterferred
with the works " of the South Yuba Compa-
p ny. Two differences from this sentence.
Inference No. 3 is proved by ito very
terms. The resolutions passed by the meeting
at Omega have never been rcconsidcred. If
they had been, there would be no danger but
that the reconsideration would have appeared
in print before this
Again they say: -
Their agent has repeatedly made us over
fnrpS ypb hav
The Implication from this is that the viz
tuous monopolsts have no idea of sale
So utterly false is this that their law
full attorney informed the Secretary of the
South Yuba Company that his clients would be
satisfied with $780, 900, and this was the best
\ way to settle the matter The monopolists
themselves proposed to r. L. Huddart to sell
for million, they TO finish the ditch and de-
liver it. Both offers were rejected They
made final oyertures TO him and Mr.. Nicholson
on the very eve Of their sailing. Inference
No 4
AS to black mail what is needed by the
above state of facts is supplied by auothen--i
Daniel Rich, the soul of the monopoly, as
George W. Kidd, James Whartenby'' and
w. j. Knox are the purse, said to the Editor
OF this paper a year ago. that " it is strange,
if there is so much money coming from En-
gland, If we can't get part of it." We
are further fortified in this view by the declar
ations of Others of the monopolists. Snail
use them on the proner oc1e,c:aassion
But the falsehood, the only one, George
w. Kidd and "James Whartenby," allege
to exist in our article is that We charge them
with aiming at O @,cpoly. Let us examine
that They have now in absolute ownership,
the following bitches:
Snow Mountain Dit ch,
Deer Creek Ditch,
Cayota Ditch,
Rock Creek Ditch,
Slate Greek Ditch,
Deer Creek Ditch, east
Besides these, ccnfede rates in the monopoly |
own largely in the Randolph Ditch and the
Montezuma Ditch aud have mortgages on
others go that their immediate or prospective
interest is spread all over the country. Now, |
with the exception of Tomlinson's ditch, they
own every other ditch above this place, and
every right that can bring water here, and
that ditch these monopolists choke off from
water about eight months in the year. IfI
they can either prevent the Yuba ditch from
being brought in here, or if it comes, have con-
troll of it, they will have worse monopoly
than any the State has ever known. This
deduction from this state of facts is called
{" falsehood' Unblushing effrontery cannot
disguise the facts, and they needed no interprc-
tation from US.
