rHR FIGHTING TAILoRs.~

Justice Austin Considers Their Case
Yesterday
The case of the People vs.. Henry
Schamer and August Byer, charged with
disturbing the peace, was tried yester-
day by Justice Austin. These are the
two German tailors who recently had a
row at Alameda and First streets, in
which Byer smashed Schamer in the
head with a stone, inficting what was
at one time regarded as fatal wound.
Byer was not present, but was repre-
sented by his counsel, FL. J, Crawford,
Schamer being defended by w. Holcomb
and r. King.
Officer Tyler, Anna Smith, Henry
Reich, Louis Rupp and j. J. Long were
examined for the people. They testified
to the various details of the row as were
"HW.sfs. Smith HftF tsnae3r4 In siTersnn-
ants, Henry Shamer, were heard for the
defense.
1t was moved by District Attorney
Davis that the charge against Byer be
dismissed as the prosecution would
offer to show that greater offence had
been committed, The court reserved it's
ruling upon this motion until the de-
fendent Byer could bs present in court.
The caee was then argued and sub
mitted, and the defendant Henry
schamer was adjudged not guilty and re-
Leased.

Ii is considered to be to tho best inter-
ests OF the public that a lesse be granted
to George b. Wakefield OF Bozeman,
Mont, to draw traffic from the Union
Pacific Railroad company over the
Beaver Oafion route. provided, If the
increase OF travel from the Northern

ARAsTA CANON WATER.
An Opinion by Judge Van Dyke Anectinl
To- nr.rra ~

An Opinion by Judge Van Dyke Affecting
Its Ownership.
The following opinion was rendered
yesterday by Judge Van Dyke in the
suit Of n. M. Melrose VS.. Harry Hanson
who prayed for decree naming him
sole owner of all the water flowing in
the stream known as the Arssta caf1on,
near Acton, in this county.
1t appears that in 1883 plaintiff en-.
tered upon the northwest quarter of sec
tion IL and commenced cultivating it.
He also built house and lie at present
residing on the territory. The defend
ant has taken up the northwest quarter
of section 10, higher up on the same
creek. Between defendants and the
plaintiffs places the creek was damned
and water conducted through and down
across the premises occupied by plaint-
iff, by means of fumes and a ditch
to an old mining mill just below the
plaintiffs premises. Two forks converg-
ing above the dam form the creek in
dispute, the defendant being located
upon one of those branches. The old
mining mill, with the water system con-
nected with it, was owned and controlled
by A. ID. Childrese, and any water used
or carried away was with his permission.
The testimony as to whether ChildresH
or his employe gave any such permission
is conflicting. Childrees and his en-
ploye, Lloyd, testify that none was given,
in order that the plnintiff might not &C.
quire any color OF right to use the water.
There is no evidence of appropriation
under the statute on behalf Of either
party, both relying upon actual appro-
priation.
T The right on the part of the plaintiff
to the use Of the water by actual appro-
priation cannot date earlier than the
period when he repaired and enlarged,
the hume and claimed the use
OF the water in his own right:
prior to that whatever he used
was by the permission and license
OF the other parties, as there is NO testi.
mony showing that be succeeds to the
rights OF the other parties by purchase
or otherwise. The irrigation season
there is from April to November; his
right therefore as an appropriation dates
from the season OF 1890.
The testimony OF the defendant and
his witnesses as to the date of his right
is conflicting, but his right derived from
actual appropriation dates from 1890. at
least as early as that OF the plaintiff.
The defendant, being riparian owner,
has right to reasonable use of the
water of the stream. The claim, there
lore. onSthe part of the plaintiff is not
supported, and judgment must 60 for
the defendant and for costs.

in-law what he held was an infallible
recipe for producing male children. Its
efficacy was somewhat doubted when
that gentleman presented the marquis
with thirteen blooming eranddaughters,
and had ne'er son to his name. How
ever, we do not wish to discourage any
body from tackling the Kinnear method
of attaining longevity. The expert
menter, II he is to take it by the tum-
bleriul, should be careful to see to it
that the water he uses has not been dis
titled in Bourbon county, Kentucky, or
Robertson county, Tennessee. For those
Installations the measure of three large
tumblerfuls day might be thought ex-
ceseive, although, of course, regard
ehould be had to the capacity of the
consumer

Is there anybody who wishes to be
two hundred years old2 If there be,
William Kinnear, in the North Ameri-
can Review for June, tehs him how TO
do it. The process is simple one.
His recipe is the following: "The most
rational mode of keeping physical decay
or deterioration at bay, and thus retard
ing the approach Of old age, are avoid
ing all foods rich in the earth salts,
using much fruit, especially juicy, un-
cooked apples, and by taking daily two
OF three tumbleriuls OF distilled water
with about ten or fifteen drops OF
diluted phosphoric acid in each glaesful. -
Unfortunately all recipes do not fulfill
expectations, and Kinnesr's is prob
ably no exception TO the rule. The
chances are that some confding indi-
vidual will stsrt out on this recipe and
die before he reaches forty. The fate OF
recipes is not encouraging. 1t is
matter of history that the
old Marquis de Mirsbeou, the
father OF the great orator and atstermar
OF the French revolution, gave his con

YOUNG AS A WITNESS.
THE DEFENDANT IN A MURDER
CAsR ON THE STAND.
He Tells a Very Pretty Tale OF His
Movements on the Night of the
Crime, and the Attorneys
Begin the Arguments.

The Young murder trial was concluded
yesterday with the testimony of the de-
fendant, who testified at some length at
to his whereabouts on the night of the
alleged murder OF Irene O'Brien.
He stated that on the night in ques-
tion he was in Lemmert's saloon at 10
O'Clock at night. He stayed there 10
minutes, and going out by the back en-
trance walked down the gang plank to
the alley, then to Main street, where he
took car. He alighted at the corner of
First street and walked down to Cham
bers' saloon. He stayed there Is min
utes, and met his brother, Mr.. Dohney
and Mr.. Chambers. He then went up
to Dohney'e house and went to bed.
Two or three hours later he was awak-
ened by Jim who told him of the acci-
dent to the girl Irene. Young then
got up and started for the girls
crib. On the way down the witness
met ex-Detective Bosqui and WAS ar
rested. Bosqui told the witness that If
the girl died, he, Bosqui, would charge
the witness with murder.
The witness denied absolutely ever
having offered Bosqui any money in
order that he might be released. On
the morning after witnesses arrest Bos.
qui visited him in his cell and ques-
toned him. Witness denied knowing
anything sboutit. Bosqui told him that
he had been seen coming out of the girls
room soon after she screamed.
Witness stated that he wanted to be
released on bail because he was anxious
about Irene, and desired to ascertain
how seriously che was injured; he knew
nothing as to how the accident occurred.
He was not there, and never struck her,
threw lamp or anything else on that
night.
Cross-examined, witness said that he
first met the deceased few years ago in
San Francisco. He acknowledged hav-
ing been drinking on the night of the
woman's death, and for that reason
slept with Cohney.
AT the conclusion of the defendant's
testimony, Judge Dupey made power
full argument for the people. He was
followed by Mr.. Peck and Judge r. A.
Ling for the defense, who had not con-
cluded at the time OF courts adjourn
ment, and the remainder of their argu-
ment was continued until this morning.

GOT THIEVES AND MONEY
OFFICER GOODMAN DOES CLEVER
Bat OF WORK.
He Runs Down Couple of Hotel Room
Burglars and Receivers the
Money They are Charged
With Stealing.

Two important arrests were made
this week by Officer Goodman, and two
burglars were run to ground in short
order.
They are w. M. Carnahan and Ed, A.
Frye. The former was arrested Sunday
and Frye, yesterday. Strong cases have
been made against them.
Last Sunday morning about l o'clock
Alfred Ehrlich, German hailing from
Elsinore, walked into the st. Charlaa
hotel on North Main street to proc,irs Z
room He'was assigned one, and took
out bis wallet to pay the clerk. 1t con-
tanned big rool of greenbacks amount.
ing to $3.50, being in $40 and $40 notes
lie returned the change to his pocket
leaving $3.50 in the wallet. He retired
to the room and placed a chair, on
which were his clothes, against the
door. In the morning when he awoke
he discovered that some one had en-
tered the room while he slept and
robbed him, as the wallet was
lying in the middle of the floor with the
money gone. His clothes had not been
touched. Ehrlich went to the police
station and made known his loss. Officer
Goodman was detailed on the affair.
After investigation he concluded that
a suspicious character who had been
hanging around the hotel and who saw
Ehrlich pay for his room, might know
something of the affair. Accordingly
that man was arrested and proved to be
W. M. CaInahan.
When questioned by Officer Goodman.
Carnahan broke down and confessed to
the theft and told the officer where the
money was hid. Officer Goodman went
to the place and failing to find the booty
returned and told the prisoner.
Finally Carnaban said that be had a
pal named Ed. A. Frye who had pro-
badly taken the money to another place.
Frye was at length arrested yesterday
and also confessed to being concerned
in the robbery. He went with officer
Goodman 70 the hotel and down in the
wall of the cellar was found the money.
There was $l40 recovered which to-
gether with the change from the bill
presented by Ehrlich and which the
robbers failed to get makes s155 OF the
whole sum of $40, accounted for. The
prisoner had evidently made away with
the balance. The men will be srraignsd
probably this week.
Officer Goodman has certainly ac-
a most credible piece of
work. He has been making some very
clever captures lately and is recognized
as one OF the hardest working and most
able men on the force.

met with painful and unusual mishap
at his home a"week ago last Thursday.
He had gotten into his hog corral to
separate some of the squealers, when

tear him.

driven away and Mr.. Fawkes was assist

that the whole of his left leg had been
lacerated. The ankle and calf were
ripped up and bitten, and the ligaments
OF the thigh and hip were also torn from
the bone.

THE Fourth Of July committee have
struck an original and suggestive idea
to add interest to the parade. 1t is to
invite each town of this section to pre-
pare representative float emblematic
of the chief feature OF its interest. In
this way the parade could be made at
once attractive and of special benefit to
the place represented. 1t would exer-
else the talent of the people of each town
to produce something novel and appro.
pirate, and the spirit of emulation that
would be thus provoked would un'
doubtedly result in come of the most
striking individual floats that even
