DIFFICULT TO CLASSIFY.
Tho Supreme Court Settles = San Diego
Case.

Tho Supreme Court Settles q San DIego
Case.
The supreme court has reversed the
decision of the San Diego superior court
in the case of j. W. Seton. plaintiff and
respondent, va. M. B. Prentice and Julia
V. Stewart. defendants and appellants.
In the course of an opinion received
for filing at Los Angeles yesterday, the
court says that the action is somewhat
difficult to classify. Its purpose was to
obtain an injunction to prevent the de-
PENDANTS from preventing the plaintiff
from attaching water pipe to a certain
water pipe of defendants. Judgment
went for plaintiff. and the defendants
appealed.
By the judgment OF the superior court
the appellants were enjoined, or rather
commanded, to allow the respondent to
attach his water pipe and thus furnish
him the pressure he desired to run the
water on his land. In deciding the case
the supreme court says that the superior
court decided as it did on the theory
that under the written contract between
Hill and the appellants the latter were
compelled to allow the assigns OF Hill to
permanently attach pipe to the pipe
of the appellants, and that this, in their
opinion, is'not a correct construction OF
the contract. For the reasons adduced
the judgment and order denying q new
trial are reversed.

AN UNGRATEFUL YOUTH.

William Goodman Arrested on q Chary
of Grand Larceny.
A very clever young man, calling him.
self William Goodman, but who is GER
tainly the opposite of anything his name
might suggest, languishes in the city
prison on charge OF grand larceny.
Several days ago Goodman arrived
here pennilees. He became acquainted
with J. Gordon, who keeps q store at
435 South Spring street. Mr.. Gordon
opened his surplus of hospitality and in
vited the moneyless young man to share
with him what he had.
The offer was readily accepted. and
after Goodman had partaken of Mr..
Gordon's hospitality at table and in
lodging he wanted to start a store with
goods belonging to his bsnsfactor. At
least this is the supposition, for he
started in to appropriate everything he
could get his hands on.
According to the statements of Mr..
Gordon and Detective Hawley, who ar
rested Goodman, the smooth young fell
low stole everything from suit OF cloth
ing to handkerchief, and from stove
to knives and forks. He was evidently
going into business on no small scale.
Just about the time he had $500 worth
of goods in his possession, Detective
Hawley escorted him to the station.

LUCKY LLEWELLYN.

Mr.. L. j. Lieweilyn Made a Happy
Father.
Some men would be overcome by the
good fortune which has so recently be-
fallen Mr.. William Llewellyn, one OF the
proprietors OF the Columbia Iron works
OF this city. Tuesday night he was
nominated by reclamation, at a caucus
of delegates, as the Republican candi-
date for sssemblyman of the Seventy
third district. Yesterday morning a
message flashed under the Atlantic and
across the continent informing him of
the fact that he is an uncle, his BROTH
er's wife, Mrs. L. j. Llewellyn. having
presented her hueband with a fine boy.
The interesting event took place in
South Wales. where Mr.. and Mrs. Lew
ellyn are sojouruing. If he does not
make winning race under this combi-
nation of happy circumstances, it will
be almost the first time he ever failed
to accomplish what he set out to do.
Although the youngster is forever de-
barred from being president of the
United States, he will not lack any OF
the lesser political honors, if be but
prove to be one half as capable and as
popular as his good-looking uncle, Billy,
the future assemblymen.

Evening Session.

The evening session opened with the
hall packed to sufocation. When Chair
man Allen called the convention to or
der, Mr.. Brown, one of the candidates,
stepped up on the platform and said:
81 wish to withdraw my name as can
didate, and l desire to say that l hops
this convention will nominate noble
woman"
This announcement, particularly the
latter sentence, raised discordant
storm of shouts, yells and cheera. and
when the chair was enabled to make
himself heard he said: This conven-
ton has sufficient confidence in me to
be aware that if had known that was
TO he 80 imposed on in this announce
ment, it would never have been made
from this stage. [Cheersl.
RILEY NOMINATED.
The convention then proceeded to
take the third ballot on superintendent
OF schools and it resulted in Spurgeon
Riley receiving 1857 votes and Kate Tup.
per Galpin 144 votes. 80 Mr.. Riley WAS
declared the nominee of the conven.
ton amid hurricane of cheers.
THE PROXY QUESTION.
The chair raised the question that
a great many delegates were voting
proxies.
Mr.. Overton-I move that delegates
be allowed to vote only one proxy.
Mr.. Appel-In the name Of those dele
gates who have left the hall, | protest
it is not fair to deprive them of their
votes, and l move to lay the motion on
the table.
Mr.. Rose of Paeadena-We had the
secret ballot crammed down our throats,
now let them take their own medicine.
Major Furrey-I call the gentleman
to order. A motion to lay on the table
10 not debatsble.
Mr.. Rose-l have the floor OF this
convention, and with it's consent. [ said
let us give these secret ballot men some
of their own medicine and give it to
them in the neck. Cheers. Let US
cram their cowardly insults down their
throats, and show them we are free
Americans who do not fear secret
methods.
This open defiance was received with
q whirl of enthusiasm and the cheer
fairly raised the roof. The motion to
lay Overton's one proxy motion on the
table was passed by commanding vote
amid another series of enthusiastic
cheers. A motion to adjourn was voted
down.
There was lull for 10 minutes when
Mr.. Ovsrton again bobbed up and said !:
"The condition of affairs here ia dis
graceful and the only way we can rectifv
affairs is to adjourn until tomorrow
morning."
THAT motion is out OF order" said
Mr.. Arthur of Pasadena, 'as no business
has been transacted since the last mo-
ton to adjourn was made"
Mr.. Willams-I move no one shall
vote moro than two proxies. There are
men here who hold Is proxies, and to

in the judiciary OF this state. He was
an upright Judge who stood on his mer-
its, and did not come before the conven-
ton with any delegates to trade, but
simply placed his candidacy before his
fellow Republicans, and left the Issue in
their hands.
DR.. w. L. Wills then, in few neat
remarks, placed the name OF Judge w.
A. Cheney before the convention.
Louis Gottschalk presented the name
of Charles Mcfarland, city attorney OF
Los Angeles.

and an honest man.
NO SINGLE SHOTS,
John WATSON of Pomona seconded the
nomination of Waldo M. York in a
strong speech. L. Thorne spoke some
kindly words for Charles Mcfarland, and
w. T. Williams put in strong plea for
Judge Walter Van Dyke.
Mr.. Appel then offered resolution
that no ballot should be counted unless
it contained the names of two candi-

Warrants Issued Yesterday for Many
Wholesale Dealers.
A hot war will be inauguratsd today
against many wholesale liquor houses
of this city. The fight has been taken
up by the city license collector, and
Yesterday Deputy Caldwell swore to
complaints charging 10 or IL wholesale
houses with violating the city license
law by selling without having first Sc
cured the necessary certificate.
The complaints were all filed in JUS
tice Seamans' court, and the warrants
issued. They will be served today.
The authorities contend that an open
violation of the license ordinance has
been noticed for some time. and the col
lector has been busy getting evidence
enough to warrant prosecution. Some
of the most widely known liquor dealers
in the city will be served with warrants
either today or tomorrow.

THE KILLING OF WATSON.

More Features Indicating Co Id
Bloodsd Murder.
The moro the killing OF Manuel Wat
son on his ranch near San Pedro is in
vestigated, the more il looks like a cold
blooded murder on the part of Robert
Ashworth, his slayer.
Ashworth. it appears, was not even a
tenant on the ranch, being q dependent
OF the family. who, in spite OF his vlo-
lent temper, had cared for him for many
years.
1t has been shown that the wound
which caused the poor young mans
death was inflicted by an upward
cut, which contradicts Ashworth's
c aim that be stabbed Watson while he
was climbing on the wagon to attack
ly shown that Watson had not been
drinking, and be was noted for his
smiability and gentlencss of disposition,
and WAS the last man in the world to
attack anyone except under the greatest
provocation.
1t is claimed that Ashworth's arm is
not psralyzed, but was injured by
gunehot wound inflicted some time ago.
The friends OF the deceased, while far
from sharing any vindictive spirit, are
satisfied, from great amount of evil
dence In their hands, that there was 40
palliative feature about the crime, but
that Aehworth attacked Watson with a
bludgeon or hammer, broke his jaw
with 1t. and then stabbed hi m.
The case will be watched with much
interest.
The funeral Of Manuel Watson oc-
Gu rred Yesterday morning OF the cathe-
oral. The ceremony was must i'm PRESS

age the largest ever known in the city.
Mr.. John F. Francis, who knew the
deceased we'll and who was related to
him by marriage, in speaking of him
yesterday, eaid:
Manuel Griffin Watson was grand
son OF the late Don Manuel Dominguez,
owner OF the Rancho San Pedro, q
genial and kindly gentleman, beloved
by host OF friends who have known
him intimately since his who'd, as @
most devoted son and model husband
and father. Brave as lion, but quiet
and unassuming and gentle as a woman
with all those with whom he came in
contact. not one Of his host of friends

A reaction had evidently set In as
contrast to the somewhat exciting cpl

methods al transacting business. there
is more talking and frothy effervescence
than is compatible with getting through
with the work OF the convention quickly.
One of the striking features OF the
convention is the extraordinarily large
lobby which is almost constantly in at

thronged with seething, striving mass
of political workers who are nervoualy
at work in the interests of the legion of
candidates. The stage was packed most
uncomfortsbly with ladies. who seemed
to take O deep interest in the work Of
the convention yesterday, more cape
cially in the balloting on county school
superintendent, lady being among the
candidates for that office. There are

DRAGGING START.
The convention made a draggi ng
start, and it was half an hour after the
hour appointed for meeting before
Chairman Allen got the delegates in
hand
The first act Of the convention was to
collect the assessment of 81 from each
delegate. When the sack had been
filled, George H. Stewart offered q reso-
luton that the new county central COM
mittee be pledged to call caucusss and
primaries by precincts. This was adopt
ed, and W. T. Williams submitted
resolution STIMULATING that the county
central committee prescribe the size,
color and form of the ballot to be used
at the primaries OF the Republican
party. This was passed.

SAILOR RoKKA's DEATH.

The Coroner's jury DOES Not Look Into
the Murder Theory.
An unlooked-for surprise was sprung
at the inquest held at Orr & Patterson 9
yesterday upon the body of the Russian
sailor, M. Rokka, who was found at
Santa Monica with his skull crushed.
and who died at the receiving hospital
in this city Tuesday.
The surprise was in the fact that the
bloody club found upon the bluff where
the sailor was thrown over, WAS not in
troduced; neither was there any other
evidence as to the hat or club or any
thing that might tend to show that the
deceased was murdered.
Considering the testimony before
them, the coroner's jury could not do
otherwise than to return verdict Of
accidental death, which they did.

THE THIRD BALLOT.
The third ballot was then taken and
it resulted in the nomination of Burr,
who received 800 votes to 2l0 cast for
Cline, the vote of Hammel having been
thrown to Burr, thus nominating the
San Fernando man. The announcement
of the result was received with the Wild
est cheers and a motion to adjourn until
8 O'Clock this morning was adopted.
THE FIRST sUPERvIsoRIAL.
The First Supervisorial District con-
vention met yesterday morning and was
only in session few minutes Walter
Trask nominated Fl. L. Woodward of

vention met last night and after taking
two ballots nominated E. s. Field, who
received 56 votes, F. RAIDER votes, II.

Mr.. Appel defy Mr.. Williams to
produce any man in this convention
who holds Is proxies. II he does, will
vote for his motion, or il he can produce
any one who holds three proxies, will
vote with him. We have our rules and
l am unable to see how any great fraud
can be practiced on that great intelli-
Qence OF which Mr.. Williams boasts. 1t
it ia an absurdity to cay any man holds
IA proxies. am willing to denounce
such man, and am equally willing to
denounce any man who willfully
makes false statement.
Chairman Allen called Mr.. George H.
Stewart to the chair end then said II
thought this convention settled one
question yesterday, and that is that this
convention was opposed TO rings and
Jobs and Doodle. You have passed a
rule which will enable political trick
sters who lie awake at night to make
their trades. II the slate OF the ring ia
carried out want to leave this conven-
ton. Vote for Williams' resolution"
There did not seem to be any differ
ence OF opinion among the factions with
regard to Mr.. Williams' motion and it
was carried unanimously. A motion to
djourn from the dark lantern faction
WAS promptly voted down.
NOMINATIONS FOR SHERIFF.
The convention then proceeded to re-
ceive nominations for the Office of sher-
if. Mr.. Lockett of Pasadena nominated
J. @. Cline in ringing speech. NJ. T.

saying that he proposed to devote hs
future life to breaking states and fight
