A GRAVITY PROBLEM.

The sewer Committee and an Irrigation
Company Puzzled.
The members of the sewer committee
of the council and the representatives of
the South Side Irrigation company held
meeting yesterday morning and
wrestled with problem in gravitation.
The irrigation company for long
time past has been getting it's main
source Of supply in the shape of irriga-
ton water from the San Pedro street
sewer. They have become alarmed re-
Gently over the fact that the building
OF the city internal sewer system in con-
nectiou with the outfall sewer is likely
to cut off their entire water supply for
irrigation purposes. This has been
brought about by the fact that the
Maple street sewer system is laid nine
feet lower than the pipes of the irriga-
ton company, and as they have not
solved the problem of making water run
up hill, they are fearful of losing the
water supply, and want the council to
devise some means by which they can
get water, which they say they are will
ing to pay as mach for as anyone else.
They are now paying for $50 inches of
water, and it is said have been receiving
400 inches. AS matters now stand the
sewer committee feels that the irriga-
ton company should do the brain work
incidental to supplying it with water,
as we'll as pay the expense attendant
thereon. The company supplies the old
Nadeau ranch and adjoining property
southeast of the city with irrigation

and three eighths in width. The tracks
appeared to be made by new wagon or
one with new tires. The wagon tracked
perfectly where the road WAS straight.
Mrs. N. l. Oomstock, wife of the de-
iendant, testified that she was living in
the Little Tejunga on the 10Th of Feb
ruary. Her husband was at home dur
ing the day and night of the 10Th. He
was doing nothing in the forenoon but
in the afternoon went to Hledge some
wood. She went to Mrs. Fitzsimmons'
in the afternoon about O'Clock, and
when she got home about 8 o'cloch her
husband was there. He was in the
house her oldest boy and smallest boy
were with him she had the girl with
her. She cooked supper after coming
home. After supper she sat by the fire
and patched her boys pants. Mr.. Com
stock was mad about her going to Ftz-
simmons, and went to bed without his
supper. But he got up and took some
and went back to bed. 1t was about
10 80 when she went to bed. Her hue-
band slept with her that night. She got
up fret in the morning, and her hus.
band got up when she had breakfast
ready. He took half cord of
oak wood to San Fernando that day
When he came back he brought a rife
from Mr.. Shaug for Mr.. Sharp. she
saw FitEsimmons at his houee and WAL
ter Thorne OF his place that night. She
met Thorne as he was coming home.
She asked him to take Fitzsimmons'
coat home which she had worn over he r
shoulders.
Mrs. Comstock said that she has been
camping with her family near Naud's
warehouse since she has been in town.
She testified as to the wagons and horses
they had, told how Mrs. Packwood gave
the gray overcoat to her husband and
finally reached Detective J. V. Brighton.
One evening her husband was blowing
and Brighton or Hodson came up with a
sewing machine agent. Hudson followed
and said he would like to live up there
himself. He represented himself as an
old soldier. He came up the next day.
Mrs. Comstock related the various con-
versations she had with Brighton.
The only conversation che ever heard
between her husband and Brighton
about the train robbery was when
Brighton asked him what he thought
about it. Her husband replied that if
he had been the express messenger he
would have gone ont the other side OF
the car and shot under the car.
She said that Brighton told her one
day that he wanted to talk to her. She
went around the house with him. He
said: MRS. Comstock, women make
very good detectives. and l will pay you
we'll to work on this case and tell me all
you know about your husbands rob-
bling the train"
She replied that she had nothing to
give away, and that he was not much of
a man to talk to her in that way.
The cross-examination of the witness
WAS quite long, and occupied soout all
the balance of the day until adjourn
ment. The jury was then taken out to
look at the horses and wagons belonging
to the defendants. The wagons wers
creaky affairs, and the nags as sorry q
set as could be seen in days travel.
The trial will be resumed this morn
ing at O'Clock.

GLIMPsES OF AMERICA,

Arrival of q New Edition-some FlAtter-
ing Testimonials.
All the numbers Of Glimpses OF Amer.
lean can now be had at the HERALD
Office. from l to Is inclusive The de-
maud for this beautiful work has been un-
precedented 80 far all over the United
States. 1t is the intention of the
HERALD to provide substantial
low priced binding for the work
when completed. and the owner
will then have book OF the greatest
use for reference. 1t is the most unique
publication of it's kind, and those who
mise it will have reason to regret their
carelessness. Here is what some well
known business men say OF Glimpses:
From Gen. E. p. Waring, g. P. A.,
South Carolina railwsy-I have exam
ined Gl;mpses of America carefully. and
am pleased to say that it is one of the
handsomest works on picturesque Amer
lea that | have ever seen.
From Gen James @. Pond, G. P. A.,
Wisconsin Central line-I caunot recol-
lect having ever seen anything which
should so thoroughly interest Ameri-
cans, who have within them that feeling
OF love OF country which is such marked
characteristic of us as people, as
Glimpses of America.
The herald. [microfilm reel] (Los Angeles [Calif.]) 1893-1900, 1894-06-13

that two OF the men had said that 1.-The
reason they tackled the Atlantic and
Pacific road was because they knew 1t
was in the hands of receivers and want
ed to make a test case OF it, and expect
ed to be tried at Lsavenworth." The
conductor continued by saying that he
had received no orders TO transport the
men from Mojave to any place.
Yardmaster Prindinville WAS recalled
and testified that he was the one who
mentioned that the men would probably
be taken to Leavenworth. He knew the
men wanted to go that way, and said he
did it to pscify them. He told them the
United States marehsl was coming to
arrest them, and they said they we're
glad OF it.
The prosecution recalled Marshal Co
varrubias, who testified in detail as to
the manner in which he went out to
Barstow and arrested the Commonweal-
ers. He told how he talked with one of
the army members named BulfinGh,
whom he had known % years, and how
Bulfnch told him that the army did not
know the road was in the hands Of re-
ceiyers.
The defendants' counsel recalled Mr.
Cooney, who said that he did not re-
member being in the presence OF Con-
ductor Newhall, who swore that Cooney
was in the crowd who said they wanted
to make test case OF the matter. He
testified that he thought he was asleep
on top OF a car when the incident oc.
Cured.
O. X. Forest one OF the defendants,
was called to the stand and testified that
he did not hear anyone say anything
about wanting to be taken to Leaven-
worth.
A young man named Cole WAS called
and stated that he and Forest were
standing beside Conductor Newhall, but
did not hear Newhall say to the men
that they were tsckling the government.
Young Mundel, whom Engineer Bum
nell said ran the engine to Barstow after
the Industrials captured it, was called,
and positively denied the statement of
the railroad engineer that he took charge
OF the engine.
All evidence being In, argument for
the government was opened by United
States Attorney Denis, who said that the
only question before the court was as to
whether there had been a violation of
the courts order. He said that for
three months the Southern Pacific had
asked him to arrest Industrials for tax
ing charge OF Trains, out upon lnveeClga-
ton he found that no act had been COM
mitted against the government, for they
did not stop the United States mails.
Mr.. Stephens opened the argument for
the defense by saying that the men had
in no wise placed themselves in con-
tempt of the court; they had not OBJ
structed the train; they were going in
the same direction as was the train and
when the railways engineer refused to
further run the train one of the Com
monweslers took charge and rushed the
train through on time. He made a
strong appeal for the defendants and
dealt strictly with the legal status of
the case.
Judge Ross then announced that he
would render bis decision in court at
10 80 am. today. whereupon the men
were marched to their quarters for the
night.

BEN FOLSOM IN TOWN,

The Ex- BuffslOnian IL Getting Acquaint-
ed Onoo More.
Buffalo Express, June 2: Mr.. Ben
jsmin Folsom 10 in town. The popular
and afsble ex-consul to Sheffield and his
bride OF few months arrived on Thurs
day evening from winter in Southern
! California and are located at the Niagara,
where they will be for 10 days or 30.
This is really the first visit Mr.. Folsom
has paid to his native heath since be
gave up his mission in the English city
of knives last year, although he did stop
over in town few hours in the fall when
he was on his way to Michigan to enter
the ranks of the benedicts.
Mr.. Folsom is not 80 young, of course,
ss he used to be, but he still looks young
and has the pleasant manner which has
always been a prominent chsrace ristc
of his individuality. Buffalo and the
whole country, in fact, have always
taken peculiar and kindly interest in
him.
Mr.. Folsom is an enthusiast on the
theme OF California, its possibilities and
its wonderful climate. He has an
orange plantation in the cele brated Red
lands district in San Bernardino county
and believes apparently, like so many
easterners who have followed Horace
Greeley's advice, that tho west, or at
least the land of the Golden Gate il
Gods own country. ''To my mind, :"
said he. "Caifornia presents to young
men who have only a little capital to
live upon the very best inducements for
an out-of-door life in such profitable oc-
equations as stock raising, fruit growing
and agriculture in general. To possess
10 or 20 acres with water in California
is vastly better than to own a very large
farm in any of the eastern states"

THE COUNT DE O'CA,
He Returns to Los Angeles After Pro
1onged Absence.

He Returns to Los Angeles After n Pro-
Iongod Absence.
Count de O'Os, who at one time was
chef of the California club, has returned
to the city after prolonged absence. The
Telegraph of last evening says:
SIT is remembered that the "couut's''
enforced exile was brought about by a
number of anonymous letters in which
scurrilous attacks on the character of q
number Of prominent and respectable
people were made, being traced to him.
Many OF the letters we're sent into the
best families in the city, purporting to
be signed by equally we'll known resi-
dents. Investigation showed of course
that the writer forged the names.
"All this occurred after the California
clubs cook had won the heart and money
of Mrs. Sarsfield O'Reilly who, prior to
an alliance with the o. Reilly, was known
as Mrs. Woodruff. having acquired that
name by marriage subsequent upon q
union with one Thompson? With the
acquisition of wealth d'Oca discarded
stew pans, broilers and the smell of the
kitchen and looked about upon plan of
enjoying himself"
Inc paper tnen goes on 10 STATE tnas
detectives were put at work and at last
brought the matter home to the count,
who promised to leave the city forever.
The article concludes as follows:
"Why has Count d'Orca returned to
Los Angeles? and will the charges be
pushed? are questions. An answer to
the first is that he intends to try to show
that the anonymous letters for the writ
ing of which he was banished were writ
ten not by him, but by the anonymous
letter writer who figures in the Crandall-
Plat. Harris scandal"
