THE DE BAKER CASE.

Civil Engineers Talk About the River
and Its Banks. ~
Yesterday was the day for experts in
the big damage suit of Mrs. De Baker
against the Southern California Rail-
road company for $55, ,705 26 damages
done to the Laguna rancho by the foods
of the winter of 1889, or az the Evening
Express curioualy terms it, riparian
damages
There were only few witnesses on
the stand during the day, and they were
mostly civil engineers.
The first witness in the morning was
E. T. Wright, the well-known civil en-
gineer, who made the maps which are
being used in the trial. His testimony
occupied considerable time, because he
had gone over the ground with his in
struments and made thorough inves
tipation of the break below the Santa
Fe leyee, which resulted in the damage
sued for by plaintiff. He described the
condition OF the river before and after
the levee was built. and the conclusions
he formed as to the effect of the levee on
the river channel were given at some
length. Mr.. Wright was of the opinion
that il there had been no obstruction in
the channel, the water would have
