HIRED A HOUSEKEEPER
How swindIer in Pennsylvania Made a
Raise

How a swindIer in Pennsylvania Made
Raise
Baltimore, March 9.-Detective Gault
returned today from York, Pa, where he
arrested James Clark, alias James Lewis,
alias j. Templeton, charged with swind
ling Mrs. Sadie Fields of this city out of
two trunks and contents, valued in all at
$500. Clark came to this city some weeks
ago and advertised in the paper for a
housekeeper to take charge OF his home
in Los Angeles at $50 per month. He re-
ceived about $50 replies, and among them
was Mrs. Field, who was engaged by
Clark. She sold her household goods and
with $500 secured bought clothing, which
she packed in two trunks. On Wednes-
day last, the dav before she was to start
for the West, Clark ordered the trunks,
under the pretense that he was to ship
them West. He disappeared and detec-
tives were put on his track. One trunk
was recovere in this city and the other
in Clark's possession today. He indig-
nantly denied the charge until proof was
produced. He is an elderly man with
rather cler cal appearance. Letters in his
pockets show that he has advertised in
the papers of other cities.

$50, 900 worth Of. tickets at so cents on the
dollar, the tickets being good over the
Alton between Kansas City and Bloom
ington, thence east over the Lake Erie

Shortly ter the purchase Of the tickets,
a passenger rate war set in, and for two
years the tickets were unsaleable. In
June. 1882, after the brokers had disposed
of about half of the tickets, the Lake Erie
and Western, which had gone into the
hands of receiver, reported that the
agreement between itself and the Alton
by which the tickets had been made good
over that line east of Bloomington was
dissolved, and the tickets became worth
less. Judge Adams held in effect that the
tickets were contracts made by the Alton.

Reorganization Of the Roads Will Take Place
Next Week--Provisions of the

San Francisco, March 9.-Mr. Brown of

Stone of the Peoples Home Savings Bank
and others Of the committee selected by
the bondholders of the Los Angeles Con-
soldated Electric Railway Company to re-

ly agreed upon the plan. 1t was sent to the
printer today and will be ready for dis
tribution by next week.
The provisions of the trust articles will
be fully carried out, only that two-thirds
of the bondholders, instead of one-third,
as required by the trust a,ed will agree
to the change. The road will be sold
under foreclosure proceedings. 1t will
be disposed of to the highest bidder, which
will probably be the bondholders' combi-
nation. A new company will then be or
ganized, and the old stock be replaced by
the new company. The bondholders who
do not join in the foreclosure may re-
ceive small sum for their holdings, as
they will pro rate only on the proceeds Of
sale, while the syndicate will own the
plant.
The bond issue aggregates So, 600, 900.
Small holdings will swell the amount con-
trolled by the syndicate to 50, 900, 600 at
least, and possibly it will be made unan-
imous. The reorganization will occur on
the 10th inst.

Decision in the Great Water
Suit of Los Angeles
THE WATER COMPANY WINS
Riparian Rights as Claimed to the
River Water
Claim Of the Corporation That Its Title Dates
Back to . Pueblo Grant, Is Upheld
by the Court

San Francisco, March 9.-The State
Supreme Court handed down a decision
today in the case OF the (Vernon?) Irri-
CATION Company versus the City OF Los
Angeles. The judgment of the lower
court in favor of the defendant was re-
versed.
Plaintiff had asked for an injunction
against the defendant taking all the water
out of the river, beyond what was required
for actual consumption, and until the
growth Of the city necessitated the ABSORB
ton of the whole supply.
The company claimed as riparian
owner and also on the ground that it had
tended to increase the supply of water
by heavy expenditures on the construc-
ton Of fumes and bitches. 1t was claimed
on behalf Of the defendant that its rights
were established under the old Pueblo
grant.
In commenting on the decision rend-
cred and which is reversed the Court says /:
This decree shows very loose idea
of the doctrine of riparian rights. If
that doctrine be the true one, as that
court has repeatedly held, the riparian
owner is entitled to the continuous flow of
the stream as part and parcel of his es-
tate, and not as an easement or incorpo-
real right issuing out of land. He
does not own the corpus of the
water, but incident to his riparian
rights is the right to appropriate GER
tain portion of it. 1t is only by some
species Of appropriation that one can ever
be said to have title to the corpus of the
water. The right OF the riparian owner
is to continuous flow with usufructow
right to the water, provided he returns it
to the stream above his lower boundary
and the right to make complete appro-
priation OF some OF it. But an appropria-
tor cannot acquire a right to any of the
waters of stream to the prejudice of a
riparian owner by any use except under
the statutes Of limitation.
1t was set fort by the city that it has
enjoyed the right of taking the water to
sell to outsiders for over thirty years, but
the Court holds that such action was ex-
ceeding the powers OF the corporate body
and was the mere individual act of the
city officers. 1t could not, therefore, be
cited to base upon such custom color
of right. The mere fact that an unlaw--
1ul act had been going on for many
years did not, in the opinion OF the
Court, establish it as legal custom. 1t
was also claimed that the river was de-
veloped water as far as any water which
flowed below the city was concerned but
this the Supreme Court lays aside with
the simple remark that the evidence does
not show it. to be the fact.
For the reasons given the Judgment of
the lower court was revoked and new
trial was granted.

Heard Three lien Talking
Duluth, Mimi, March 9.-Some of the
passengers who came on the Northern
Pacific train from the West this morning
were decidedly nervous until they were
some distance this side of Kimberly.
Last night about II o'clock Miss Reich
art, the night operator at Kimberly,
twelve miles this side of Aitkin, heard
three rough-loolxing men planning to
wreck the passenger train at the bridge
near Kimberly. She at once wired the
dispatcher at Brainerd, and the men
heard the instrument working and jumped
at the conclusion that she was wiring rail-
road people. They rushed for the door OF
the office and tried to break it in, but
were met by the plucky woman, who
fred four shots through the door. The
men took to their heels. The railroad
officials sent word for the section men to
patrol the track for several miles, and
the train was run very cautiously through
that part of the country, but no trouble
was experienced. Three men were run
out OF Aitkin yesterday, and it is be-
'ieved they planned the wreck.
