An Acquitted Defendant in q Hog.KflI.
ing Case tets $500 Damages

The case OF James Duvall against James
o'Leary was tried yesterday in Judge Osborn's
court The plaintiff sought to recover s., 900 for
false imprisonment and malicious prosecution.
The trouble arose over some hogs belonging to
the defendant. and the facts in the case were
that on September 4. 1880, James O'Leary went
before George p. Boyce, justice OF the peace in
the northern end of the county, where ali the
parties reside, and filed complaint stat
Ing that during August of the same
year James DuvaI killed and appropri-
sted two OF his pigs without his con-
sent, aud that he had reason to believe that
Duvali had also killed another pig previous to
this. Upon this he asked that Duvall be ar.
rested. warrant was accordingly issued or
the arrest of the plaintiff, and although he was
sick at the time he was kept in custody for
twelve hours and obliged to give $50 bonds
On September -, 1890, Duvall was tried upon
the charge and acquitted, but he claims that his
srrest and the accusations against him had
been extensively eireu ated in the community
and printed in King county newspaper aud
that in this way he was damaged in the sum OF
500
The case was argued before Judge Osborn and
the pros ami cons of the hog killing gone into at
length. Among other things the point was
raised that the defendant by his own evidence
had shown that his character had not suffered
by the arrest The jury thought otherwise,
however, and was out but short time when il
returned with a verdict for the plaintiff for $500

BALLARD'D WATER ELECTION.
Proposition to Bond the City for New
System of supply.

Today an election will be held at the hose
house III the city of Ballard to ratify or reject
proposition to bond the city for $1,000 for the
purpose OF constructing and maintaining a sys-
TEN of water works and building an electric
light plant The judges of the election are
George Weber and A. MeCulloch, and the in
spector 10 Alb raham Kilworth If the city be
bonded it is proposed to use $4,000 for con-
struc,ing and maintaining source OF water sup
ply known the Wagner Steam Excavated
Well system, a detailed description of which
has already been published in the POsT-lNTEL-
LIGENCER. The balance of the amount will be
used for the electric light plant.
The proposed system has a number of earnest
advocates. who have been agitating the system
for number of months, but il is also opposed
by many on the grounds that the supply Is not
needed and that the system may not prove salts
factory.
The question Of water supply has been a sub
ject OF consideration by every council since the
incorporation of the city, and the only result at
tanned is the present proposition to bond the
city. There are two systems at present One a
gravity system. owned by the West Coast I'm
provement Company. which supplies q numb
of residents, and three mills - Sulli-
vans, Ell Auld's and the Gilman
Park Lumber Company's. The city council re.
fused to grant franchise to the West Coast I'm
provement Company or any other company, and
no extensions or Improvements in the original
system laid by the Vest Coast improvement
Company before the interpretations OF the city
have been made. Enough water could not De
obtained TO supply ali the mills by this system,
and the other system was constructed by the
Stimson Mill Company, the West Coast Manu-
featuring Company aud the Seattle Cedar Lum-
Der Company. 1t required 10 franchise from
the city, as the pipes ran along the tide flats TO
Lake Union, where there is a pumping station.
This cost about $4,000, and the monthly ex-
penso of running it is about Sl60, divided among
the three companies controlling the system.
This system can supply all the new mills and
the old ones. too with all the water they re-
auire at a cheap monthly rate, or they will
allow any new mill 10 become stockholders in

The question will probably be raised as to
whether the harbor master has tho power to Or
der vessel removed from the wharf. The
Purdy was loading freight from Vail & Hub
bells warehouse, and this firm claims wharfage
privileges at the wharf as well as che Columbia
River 4 Puget sound Navigation Company, as
do also Gillette Il Hey. who occupy the ware
house adjoining. The owner Of the wharf,
Isaac Dobson, says that the conditions OF the
lease granted TO the Columbia River & Puget
Sound Navigation Company are such that no
other boat has any right there without first OBJ
tanning the consent of that con- pany's agent.
The question of compelling boats TO be re-
moved from the wharf to make room for the
Flyer to land has frequently been raised before,
but the intruding boats generally gave way.
Tuesday night, however, the Purdy would not
move when the harbor master Instructed the
captain to do 80, so Mr.. Jelich decided to have
the case tested in the court, that be may know
just what his powers are.
