AN INJUNCTION DENIED.
RESULT OF THE SAN ANTONIO
CANYON WATER WAR.
Judge Van Dyke Decides That the Tun-
mel Is Not Doing any Damage.
II 1t Doee He wui

Judge Van Dyke yesterday rendered
decision in the case of the San Anto
Mo Water company and Pomona Land
and Water company VS.. the Sierra
Water and Power company ct al, in &C
cordance with an opinion filed, denying
the request for an injunction.
Large interests have been at stake in
the present litigation, and the decision
has been anxiously awaited by the
parties interested and the people of Pc.
mona. Ontario and vicinity.
For more than 10 years prior to the
commencement OF the action, says the
court, the plaintiff corporation have
diverted and distributed for use among
their respective, stockholders all the
water flowing down the San Antonio
canon, except 20 inches theseof, appro.
priated by and belonging to man
named Dexter.
AT the dam in the csiion, near Its
mouth, the water belonging to the
companies is equally divided. The San
Antonio company takes one-h half on the
eastern side OF the stream, and con-
duets II southeasterly through pipes
and aqueducis to Ontario colony and
Ontario, distributing it. The Pomona
Land and Water company takes the
other hall to Pomona and distributes 1t.
The defendant company has begun the
excavation OF tunnel up the cai1on five
or six miles from it's mouth to develop
water, intending to convey it down the
cailon and Ypon Rand.
The plaintiffs allege that the tunnel is
constrncteH so near the channel OF the
creek a. TO draw come Of its water from
1t, stronf&pSi iDgs and adjacent ciene-
gas, and that tfs farther prosecution OF
the tdhneI sVil JnGTeaee amount OF
sswater d iHexted d3reM it. a.
The sdefa3ati4 denies these allegations
and SAY that st th6 rroposed depth and
in the difection tbs taahnsl is being con-
structed itsAwiIl not diminish or divert
any of the water in the stream.
1t was agreed that the court should
visit the premises, and he did so. From
the showing made in court and from the
personal inspection made, Judge Van
Dyke thinks that no diminution of the
waters flowing in the creek has 30 far
occurred. He also considers that the
.conetruction of the tunnel will not result
in a elimination of any waters to which
the plaintiffs are entitled.
He says that in view of the large
number OF people and vast interests de-
pendent on the distribution of water by
the plaintiffs, it is not strange that APP
prehension of interference with the
waterright should be aroused. Still, in
order to ojustify sthe1court in restraining
parties from seeking to develop water, it
should appear reasonably certain that
an interference or diversion has taken
place or is likely to occur.
s In the further extension of the tun-
mel II at any time tshould be developed
that danger to the flow of the stream is
imminent, the court would not hesitate
to restrain such diversion or interler-
ference. But for the present the order
to show cause is discharged and pre-
liminary injunction is denied.

Yesterday the petition presented by
Francis Thomas, commissioner to sell

instructions as to the payment of re-
ceiver's certificates was heard bsfore
Judge Van Dyke. Arguments were

SUICIDE OF LAWYER THOMAS.
A Prominent Attorney Takes
an Overdose of Morphine.
His Suflerings From Prolonged Ill
ness the Cause of the Act.
DIR. DavIsson's Account of the Affair-Hs
Was a Lawyer of Consequence
and q Politician-A Bar
Meeting.

W. II. Thomas, partner in the law
firm OF Broussesu & Thomas, committed
suicide early yesterday morning by TAX
ing eleven grains OF morphine.
DIR. Davisson was summoned to Gar.
vanza. where MIR. Thomas resided, at l
O'Clock yesterday morning. He was
met by Mrs. Thomas, who told him that
her husband was acting very strangely
and she was afraid he was dying.
DR.. Davisson examined his patient
and found symptoms of morphine poi
son. Everything was done by the ply
sician to save Mr.. Thomas's life, but be
never rallied and died shortly after &
O'Clock.
Some two years ago Mr.. Thomas had
a severe attack of pneumonia, which
entirely destroyed his health and consti-
tuition, leaving his lungs in a dangerous
condition. Since then the deceased
had suffered considerably, and few
days ago was operated upon by DR..
Davisson, who removed a pernlciouE
growth from his lungs.
Yesterday DIR. Davisson happened to
be in the attorneys offie, when the
former remarked that he did not think
he would ever recover his health. He
appeared to be in very despondent
frame of mind, and DR.. Dawson endeav.
ored to cheer him up, but without sue
cess. Before the doctor left Mr.. Thomas
asked him if be could give him some
morphine to allay the pain he was SUI
fering from, but DR.. Dagisson not con-
eidering the drug proper thing for his
patient to take, refused.
Attorney Thomas came to this city
four years ago from Lockport, Ind, and
was made partner in the law firm OF
Brousseau, Hatch & Thomas.
Soon afterwards Judge Hatch left the
firm, leaving Judge Brosseau and
Thomas the sole partners.
During the Markham campaign the
deceased did good work for the Repub-
lican ticket, and was delegate to the
county and state conventions in 1890.
He was prominent member of the
order of Odd Fellows, and of the
Knights OF Pythias.
The deceased was AZ years OF age and
leaves a wife and two sons.
Yesterday morning in department two
of the superior court meeting OF men,
bers of the bar was held to take appro-
pirate action upon the death OF Mr..
Thomas. Judge w. H. Clark presided
at the meeting, and after short con-
-sultation il was decided to appoint a
committee to draft suitable resolutions
of respect. The committee named was
W. T. Williams. Anson Brunson, ]. j..
Donnell and George M. Holton of Los
Angeles and Mr.. Stimson of Pasadena.
They will report at time to be here

was that two OF the most influential citi-

with the view OF making this city their

Three Weeks.

Three Weeks.
Mr.. F. r. Willis, the attorney, re-
turned Monday from trip to Chicago
and eastern points. While in Chicago
he saw Judge B. N. Smith, who was
severely injured by an electrician some
time ago.
Mr.. Willis left for home last Wednes-
day, and saw Judge Smith about one
hour before his departure. He states
that Judge Smiths injuries are not 30
bad as was first reported. None of his
limbs we're broken, nor has he sustained
any internal injuries. He had five
ribs broken and received an abrasion
upon the skull and cut on the hip.
Judge Smith was getting along nicely
and desired to be remembered TO all OF
the boys, and instructed Mr.. Willis to
tell the Los Angeles people that be
would be home within three weeks.
Mr.. Willis also saw the physician at the
hospital where Judge Smith is staying,
and he. too, said that the judge would
be out in about three weeks.
Mr.. Willis gave it as his opinion that
the present stringency in financial af-
fairs 10 more the result of the uncer-
tainty over the probable tariff legisla-
