In the Courts.

Yesterday was very light one in the
courts. In Department 6 the case against
Joseph Johnson, the constable at Ian
caster, charged with allowing prisoners
to escape, was given to the jury during
the forenoon. After about five minutes
deliberation verdict of not guilty WAS
returned.
The case of the people against ohm
Abbott was then taken up. Abbott is
charged with robbing one Simon Aimee
The latter came to the city and fell in
with Abbott, who rel >ices in the reputa-
ton of belonging to the fraternity of the
macquereaux. The stranger had about
$3.50 and watch in his pockets. He got
drunk and lost the property. The Dis
trlct Attorney made a strong case out
against Abbott, and his attorney con-
tented himself with putting his client on
the stand to swear he did not do it. at
about O'Clock the case went to the Jury
A verdict of guilty was found in five min
utes.
George Baugh, a native of England i,
was made citizen in this court.
The Supreme Court Of the State has
decided the case of George H. Smith and
others against NJ. V. Biscailuz. The case
came up this time on rehearing on a
petition of the defendant, and the case is
again decided in favor of the plaintiffs. 1t
is land case, involving parcel of land
owned by Colonel George H. Smith,
Major George S. Patton and others. The
property is situated just beyond Reser-
voir No. 4, and along the line of the Los
Angeles and Pacific railroad. Dr. Burke
is also interested in the land The case
was first tried in this county before Judge

That Gas Explosion.

The officers of the Los Angeles Light
ing Company complain that street re-.
ports have created some misapprehen-
sion as to their action upon the leak of
gas that occurred on Wednesday on the
corner of Spring and First streets. The
company's statement is to the effect
that as soon as they learned of the leak
the uperintendent, at 2 o'clock in the
morning, went out with several men to
try to locate the leak, which is generally
difficult to do. The street could not be
touched until permit to tear it up had
been issued by the Street Supsrintend-
ent. This was not procurable before
O'Clock. As soon as it could bs obtained
gang of men was set at work to find
the leak, which took place late
in the afternoon. At first the
leak was scarcely perceptible, and
did not become bad until we'll along in
the afternoon. 1t is known now that
the cause of it was the dropping of the
cable of the street railroad from it's
pulleys on to the gas main, where it ran
until it cut the pipe and allowed the gas
to escape. At first the hole was but the
size of pins head, but by the afternoon
great hole was cnt, letting all the gas
in the main escape. 1t is thought that
there are other mains in different parts
of the city exposed to the same danger
from being unprotected where the cable
runs above them.

from people residing on Broadway,

cut through from Tenth to Main, 30 as to

and hearing of no objection to the pro-
posed work, the Board of Public Works

map of the proposed extension, and after
this was done the Council adopted the
required ordinance. The time for filing

The delegation called the attention of
Superintendent Gray to the fact that the
orchards of the county had already been
drained to supply two displays, one at
city: The exhibit which they would
send to the citrus fair in this
city would not, they admitted,
be quite as good as it might
be if their other displays had not taken
so much of the best fruit. Saturday,
March the 18th, has been set aside as
San BsrHardino county day. The River
side Ladies' Band will give a perform
ance. and various other attractions will
be provided by the citizen of the county.

when the Cotton passenger train came
along running at it's usual rate of speed.
The engineer saw the boy and checked
up as rapidly as possible. The child was
too frightened to move, and had the
engineer not succeeded in bringing the
train almost to halt before it came to
where he stood, he would probably have
been killed. AS it was he WAS merely

The figures on the loss of the Southern
Pacific Company from snow and wash
outs are increasing day by day, and be-
fore the winter is over the loss will
amount to nearly 100000. General
Manager A. n Towne, upon his return
from the East, estimated the loss at
81 100000 Since that time the big
washouts have occurred on the Oregon
route. There will be $3.50, 900 required
to build new roadbed in the Cow creek
caf1on. The snow blockades have cost
some $240, 900 for extra labor, and this
account is daily on the increase. The
Oregon line is 800, 900 behind in traffic,
the Central Pacific the same amount, and
the Los Angeles line about $4,000. The
washouts in the Soledad cafion have cost
$500, 900, and there will be more ex-
pended on the Oregon before that line is
in running order, which makes the loss
to date nearly 81 100000.

The Cha m her OF commerce Ferma-

discussing the new quarters for the

pared of the changes which the board
wished made by the owner of the prop

facilities, fire escape and wider and
better arranged staircase. The chamber

repairs are made.

No boarded wealth remains,
Nor sids nor stains
Naked from out that far abyss behind rs

No word came with our coming to remind us
What wondrous world was near,
No hope, no lear,
Into the silent, starless night before US
Naked we glide.
No hand has mapped the consultations DER

No comrade at our side,
No chart, no guide.
