LEASED LANDS.
The Difficulties Renters Have Il
Contend With.

The Difficulties Renters Have to
Contend with.
Farming leased lands is not the way to
get the best results out of the soil. Still,
so long as there are ranches OF $4,000
acres held by one man, and so long as
there are 80 many men unable to pur.
chase O farm, this is an evil out of which
the best must be made. AS to terms,
the owners of the lands generally deal
quite literally with the renters, but they
will not lease for more than one year at
time, and they will not put on any &C
commodations for their tenants. The
owners of the large ranches in this part
of the State contemplate cutting them up
and disposing of them in small tracts as
soon as the demand for such properties
becomes active again. Hence their in
disposition to put improvements on the
land for the benefit of the tenants, and
hence their indisposition to lease the
land for more than a year at time.
This of course makes it very hard for
the tenants. They 60 on to piece OF
land. There is not hut, not corral !,
not DIT of land fenced off from the gen.
eral common. 1t is to be had only for
the one crop. The only thing to do is to
put it all into some sort of grain, and
when this is threshed It all has to be sold
for what it will bring. If little differ

Yesterday the trial of Juan Pima. an
Indian, for the murder Tranquelino

the two mon came to Santa Monica, and

slashed in one or two places. 1t is very
difficult to get at the facts. as the man

On the petitions of Chas. Bauer and
J. A. James asking that something be

nection With any storm drain system
hereafter adopted.
Recommended that 6-inch pipe be

height at q very small cost.

THE DIEKEN BOYS.
Their Father Turns UP and 1cntes
Their story.

Their Father Turns Up and BcMtes
Their story.
The two little Dieken boys, who were
found wandering on the streets by Officer
O'Reagan on Thursday last, we're taken
before City Justice Austin yesterday
morning fer committai TO the Boys
Home in San Francisco. They repeated
the story told to Chief Glass when taken
to the station, on being questioned by
the Court. stating that their mother,
who lived near Pasadesa. had sent them
out to find their father, who drove a
team for a contractor in this city. They
then detailed their adventures in search
of their lost parent and gained tue SYM
pathy of their hearers by reason OF their
tender age, and apparent innocence. Just
as the Court was about to deliver its
judgment committing them to San Fran
cisco, middle-aged man entered the
courtroom, and, much to the consterna-
ton of the urchine, announced himself as
their father, Peter Dieken. He stated to
the Court that the etory told by the
youngsters was fabrication from begin.
ming to end, to cover up the fact that they
ran away from home. He said that he
lived on governn ent claim on the foot.
hills at Monte Vista, and that he and his
wife had lived there together for
some time past. A few weeks ago
he had been laid up by reason
of an injury he received to his back, and
on recovery from it he obtained work III
Pasadena. He went to that place, leav-
ing the boys at home with their mother,
who was in a delicate condition, aud
during his absence the urchins had
taken advantage of their mothers illness
to run away. He did not hear of this
until yesterday morning, when friend
of his showed him copy of the HERALD,
and he at once came up to this city to
find them. On hearing these facts the
Court severely lectured the little imps
and turned them over to their father,
who promised to keep them at homs in
future.

ent arrangement could be made the ten
ants could do better. If there were q
little cabin on each so or 100.acre par
Gel If there were o corral attached and
little shed for stock, renters profit
would be greatly increased. There ought
to bea we'll too at which the horses might
be watered. If small field where
cattle might run were fenced of, that
would be another advantage.
In this way the tenant might keep a
COW. His horses could be put under a
shed at night, and in heavy storm.
He could keep few hogs and few
chickens. Poor barley or wheat will not
sell for anything, but even inferior grain
is excellent feed for hogs and chickens.
Instead of losing the poor grain, it could
ba turned into pork and made of great
value. The owners of large ranches who
can see their way to doing some of these
things for the benefit of tenants will find
plenty to take up their lands and cul-
tivate them. These tenants would be
viking to pay fair amount per annum
for such necessary accommodations.
Mr.. Richard Gird, of Chino, is the first
to come up with some proposition to
leaee lands for a term of years. He is
reported as being willing to allow good
men to 60 onto his lands rent free this
season, provided they will sign contract
to produce beets after this year according
to an agreement he will draw up for this
purpose. 1t will be necessary to agree to
rent the land on the terms proposed for q
number of years. This will admit OF
making proper arrangements for the put
ling OF light improvements on the land
or the use Of the tenants. 1t is subject
which calls for consideration at the hancs

He does Into Business.

Among the bright young lawyers who
passed their examination before the Su-
preme Court at it's last session in this
city, none did more credit to himself and
his instructors than Isidore 3. Dock
weller. Having achieved the status Of
a full-fedged attorney, this young Ange-
leiio has opened an Office for the trans
action of business. 1t is at rooms 10

on the corner of Spring and Second

delighted to meet his friends and the
public generally. He is Los Angeles
boy by birth and education. He is
bright, industrious and honorable. A
brilliant future is predicted for him.

court.

Court.
In the Township Court yesterday Jus.
tice Savage vas occupied in the trial of
II. 9. Fiske and o. NJ. Crane for disturb.
ing the peace of Mrs. S. A. Crane, of
Duarte, on October 10th. On the date in
question the two men called upon Mrs.
Crane at her residence and asked to be
allowed to examine sewing machine
which she had received some two years
years ago in payment of debt due to
her from a man named Henry Gage.
The request was granted and the men,
after comparing the machine with de-
scription printed on paper, announced
their intention of carrying it of, as it
had never been paid for by Gage, who
purchased it ON the installment plan.
Mrs. Crane objected to such q proceed
ing, and sat upon the table of the ma
chine in order to prevent them from put
ting their threat into execution. In
spite Of her entreaties, threats and
objections, the two men took
the machine to piecep, and
after a desperate tug.of-war, suc-
ceeded in getting it out of the house
During the struggle which ensued, upon
their att mpt to get the main part Of
the machine from under Mr7. Crane, who
held on pluckiiy, the lady was consider
ably bruised, and suffered q severe shock
to the nervous sys' EN-. After hearing
the testimony for both sides, which was
of a very conflicting nature, the Court
took the case uudsr advisement, and will
probably render it's Judgment tomorrow.

a suit for Riversidc,s water.

The Jurupa Land end Water Company
has begun a suit in San Bernardino
county against the Riverside Water
Company for the waters of Twin creek.
This is the principal supply Of Riverside,
being about 5000 inches. The allega.
tions are that years ago this water was
appropriated and used ON the Jurupa
lands; that later the Riverside people
came in, and in controvertion Of this
right, took the water and used it, bring
ing it in by the Jurupa. About four
years ago Riverside built big fume
