How THE CHHsTBRFIBLDIAN DISPATCHED An ENEMY
AT RIFT8RN PAGES.
The New York Herald says: The dispatch from
Charleston. s. c., denying report Of the death Of
COL E. b. c. Cash, recalls the fact that his duel
with col VIM. NJ shannon, on July 6, 1850, was
the last AFFAIR Of the kind In the Palmetto state.
Cash, who lived In Chesterfield, had maintained
an irritating controversy with Capt. w. d. Depass
and COL shannon, OF Camden. Dash challenged
Depass but the latter was arrested TO prevent q
night Then shannon was called out BY Mt.
EDorby, and Shannon refused TO toe the lire.
Cash at once published shannon a. Q coward.
This resulted In meeting. and shannon was killed.
The weapons used were derringerS and the dis
lance ffteen pacea Cash was clearly In the
wrong, having deliberately and repeatedly IN
suited shannon who held al0Of IS long a. he
could, because he had large family depending ON
him and did not desire to risk his lite. Cash IL
SAID TO have acted in brutal manner after the
shooting and his general attitude was said to DO
% repfehensihle that number OF Camden people
determined TO lynch him Y he could b found.
Cash escaped, however. subsequently, the South
Carolina legislature passed the ante-duelling act
which has since held the hot-bloods OF the old
commonwealth in check.

who gave an opinion az follows:
"PfOr to July !, 1887, the roads or tracks OF the

valley produced 100000 sacks of
wheat, and a shipload OF barley. The
mesa is now being covered with
orange orchards, peach, pear and
other fruit trees. The stone was laid,
and Doctor Bovard, President of the
University of Southern California,
followed in brief address, closing
with an invitati IN to all to turn to
and partake of a sumptueus lunch,
including barbecued beef prepared
by the generous promoters of the ex-
cursion, and served with a nameless
grace by the good ladies of San Fer
nando. The party did ample justice
to the feast.
THE SOURCE OF THE WATER.
The water is flowing at least 1000
inches strong in the caf1on to-day
The stream heads up in the rloun-
tains near the Soledad caflon, 80
miles from the dam. The water
shed embraces 300 square miles of
territory. At times there are 10000
inches in the stream. All through
the spring and until June there runs
as much as there is to-day. 1t only
goes dry for month or SO at
the end of the season. Then the wa
ter is found running 1000 inches
strong up in the mountains, but reach
ing the great gravel bed varying from
200 to 1000 feet wide and 30 feet deep
it sinks to the bedrock. The dam
will force this up again that it may be
taken in pipes to irrigate the land be-
low. There will be one inch OF water
to every 10 acres Of land belonging to
the company.
THE RETURN.
After lunch the party were taken
in the vehicles by another route to
Pacoima townsite, where the train
was in waiting to return to the city.
The journey to the train was made
over miles OF the same sort of coun-
try traversed on the other side of the
wash on the way up. The soil is
very. rich, OF practically an unlimited
depth, and very easily worked.
There cannot be found anywhere soil
or climate better adapted to the most
select industries known to the hus-
bandman. Trees of all sorts will
flourish here to degree Of excellence
that may challenge the world to vie
with them in their growth and pro-
ductiveness.
The party reached home at 4
O'Clock well pleased with pleasant
trip over magnificent piece of rap
idly developing country, to see very
novel and very important enterprise,
and all on a day in March whose per-
fection would rival the best any other
country could do in June.
