| Mr.. Lee Toy, the late manager OF tho
swnteen Lok Chinese theatrical company, Is
drilling two Chinese athletes for Chinese

A Tilted Lover.

Among the new prisoners at the
County Jail yesterday was a colored
cook named Charles Rains, who was
brought up from Santa Ana by Deputy
Constable w. h. Welsh, to await his
trial on charge of assault with intent to
commit murder. Rains stated that he
was the victim of a conspiracy. His
story is to the effect that for some time
past he has been enamored of a girl of
his own race, who is now resident in q
house OF ill.fame. He wanted her to be-
come his wife, and became SO importu-
nate in his attempts to get her to reform,
that she rejected him, and a quarrel en-
sued. After few days. separation his
infatuation increased instead of being
diminished. and on Thursday night last
he called at the house to see her and en-
deavor to persuade her to reconsider his
proposal. Upon entering the house,
however, general stampede ensued
among the inmates, and one of them was
cut, and he was arrested for it. and, on
the testimony of three eye. witnesses,
held to answer to the Superior Court.

Arrested for the Crime.

French woman and Her Lover
Arrested for the Crime.
An old man, about 60 years OF sge,
called at police headquarters about 10
o'clock on Friday night, and reported
that he had been robbed of $125 in gold
and notes by French woman in New
High street house. He stated that his
name was Louis Philman, and that he
was temporarily living at the Narcisse
House, on the corner of Fifth and Ceres
streets; aud as he was accom- mpanied by
the proprietor of that establishment, that
part of his story was easily corroborated.
In the absence of the detective force,
Sergeant Jeffries investigated the case,
and on the old mans Identification, ar
rested Mile. l. M. Prudence for the rob-
berry, and took her to the City Jail in the
patrol wagon. She vehemently protested
her innocence, and no trace of the
"boodle" could be found on the premises.
At O'Clock in the morning, Officer Will
Jams, who was dstailed to watch the
woman's rooms and arrest her lover,
should he appear, was approached by
Frenchman who wished to get into the
house. He was promptly arrested on
| suspicion OF being an accessory to the
robbery, but instead of resignipg himself
to the inevitable, he offered the police
man $l5 for his release from custody.
He was taken up to the City Prison and
incarcerated until yesterday afternoon.
Both he and the woman were taken be-
fore Police Judge Owens, and after ar
rsignment, both we're committed to the
County Jail, in default of bail in the
sums of 81 900 and $4,000, respectively,

street sprinkling by he city, and allcw
the people along the streets sprinkled to
pay for it. Complaint is made now that
many people are taxed to pay for the
sprinkling of other peoples streets, and
it is among the possibilities that Los
Angeles will follow in the footsteps of
other cities in this matter, and allow the
street sprinkling to be paid for by an
other method. The Library Board asks
for $24 500, and will probably be COM
pelle> to get along with $22 900; but as
there is an absolute necessity for books
in the library, it is the intention to allow
the limit fixed by the charter this year.
The City Auditor will not present his es-
innate of the apportionmentt to the Coun-
Gil until the 1st of August, but he is fig"
uring on the matter at present, and the
Councilmen are taking an active interest
in the matter.

A WATER DISPUTE.

An Injunction Asked For by the
Pomona Land and water Co.
The Pomona Land and Water Com
pany filed complaint yesterday against
James Loney and William O'Connor ct.
al. The complaint alleges that the
plaintiff is corporation, and the owner
of land situated in the San Jose Ranch,
in Los Angeles county, known as the
Palomares tract; that upon this land are
a number OF springs, and plaintiff has
sunk about forty-fve artesian wells
thereon; that they have constructed a
pipeline, and flow water from said
spr ings for domestic use and for irriga-
ton, supplying about 500 persons with
water for these purposes, and for which
service they receive compensation.
Plaintiff alleges that it has expended
about $40 900 in developing these springs
and constructing the pipeline, and that
defendants threaten to cut and destroy
the pipeline, and render it entirely use-
less for the purposes for which it is used,
thereby entirely depriving plaintiff and
its customers of the use of water,
to their irreparable damage. De-
PENDANTS have made claim to the
water way known as the San Jose creek,
part of the water in which is the property
of defendants, and it is alleged that if
defendants do divert this creek as threat.
ened, great damage will accrue to land
owned by plaintiff; whereupon plaintiff
prays judgment against the defendants
as follows: That they be permanently
enjoined from destroying or molesting or
interfering with plaintiffs pipe line or
water, or diverting the flow of water in
the San Jose creek from its present
course; that pending this action tenn
porary injunction be granted restraining
the defendants from said acts; that
plaintiff recover its costs, and for such
other relief as may he just.
