ditch on the Lsguna ranch. There IS a
swale or depression on the lands OF
Goucher and Myer. and in 1887 plaintiff
dug a shallow ditch along the lowest part
of this swale. The ditch was afterwar is
abandoned. Up to 1s90-3l no water ran
in this swale except i'll the rainy season.
In the meantime Goucher and others had
dug a shallow ditch. In this year there
was heavy fresnet. larg volume OF
water running through this depression
and cutting out a emanuel through which
water has since been running. The irri-
CATION company sought to restrain the
owners OF the land from using this Wa
ter, but Judge shaw hello that they were
riparian owners, and that stream did
not have to have a prehistoric origin to BIZ
a natural waterway. All that was
necessary was for the stream to have
been caused by natural means.

Pasadena LIQUOR Case Decided

In department one yesterday morning
Judge Smith gave an opinion in the Ln at
ter OF the habeas corpus proceedings OF
Harry Fluke, Pasadena restaurant
keeper convicted and fined for violating
the liquor license of that city. Fluke
was fined $500 by Recorder Rossiter +,
which he refused to pay and sought his
release by means OF habeas corpus pr O.
ceedings Flukn's counsel attacked the
Judgment of the court on several points,
among them errors in the trial, the va
lidity OF the ordinance, the legality of
the appointment OF the recorder, etc.
These points Judge Smith discusses at
length ana concludes by ordering the
prayer Of the petitioner denied, and the
defendant remanded.
Judge Smith disposes of the claims OF
error briefly and devotes N ore attention
to the clsim that the ordinance is void
because not adopted by the board of trus-
tees at place fixed by ordinance. He
holds this matter was q fact or the trial
court. but not to be inquired into upon
habeas corpus.
Tha principal point raised was that
the ordinance was unreasonable. In
discussing the proposition the court gays
that the ordinance restricts the sale of
wine and beer within certain specified
hours in thu day, and to hotels. boarding
houses OF restaurants ana III bnese cases
only at meals costing, exclusive Of the
liquor % cents. Tho court holds this to
be a reasonable regulation when the
board has the power to prohibit the sale
of intoXicants altogether.
With reference to the contention that
Recorder Rossiter was Iot legally APP
pointed the court holds that he was an
officer dc faoto and that the question
had been decided adversely to petitioner
in an able decision by Judge Shaw.
The last contention that the ord inance
does not apply to restaurants the court
holds not goou. 1t mentions certain places
such as the tippling houses, dramshops,
etc. and 'otner places" The petitioner
claimed that the meaning of "other
places" should be restricted to places Ct
the same class as those enumerated and
should not embrace restaurants, but the
court holds that in this case from the
very nature of the subject of the ordi-
nance, it must be held to include other
places than those enumerated else the
ordinance would be OF little or no effe ct
in prohibiting places where liquors might
be sold,

Must Go
WHEN RAIDER ARRIVES HOME
The Park Commission 10 Be Changed
If Necessary
Park Commissioner iced Accuses the Supers
intendent of Ignoring the Board and
He Has Threatened to Resign.

1t is war to the knife, and if reliable in
formation can be taken as the real, gen.
uine gospel truth, Elmer r. Meserve, the
present superin tendent of parks. 10 al.
ready as good as dismissed from Office.
The American Protective association il
IS said has succeeded in all but landing
the park superintendent.
The mayor is due from the east on De.
Der 18th, and as soon as he arrives
home he is to be finally besieged to bring
about the desired end.
At the beginning of the fight Meservs
had the support of every member of the
board of park commissioners. Lately,
however, at least one membe of the
board-Com missioner Teed-has openly
threatened to resign, because. as he al
leges, Meserve persists IN ignoring the
board as body, and does in all of his
official duties practically as he pleases.
1t was only Jew days ago that Meserve
purchased, without the knowledge or con-
sent OF the board certain supplies for Cen.
trail park. iced. as soun as he heard of the
facts, said hotly that he would not stand
it any longer, but would step down and
cut.
Among the ten men dropped by tina
superintendent from the payroll on De-
cember 1st were some who have been in
the citv's employ for years. The dis.
charges, however, raised the ire of
some of the members OF the park board,
which body had not been officially con-
suited in the matter, so that the park
superintendent appears by this move to
have done his case a certain amount of
damage even IN the house Of those who
now pretend that they have always been
his friends.
The list OF discharged EN- ployes has.
by the way, never yet been published. 1t
will probably receive the light of day
when the park board meets next Tuesday.

Serious Charges Against an Attorney

Auguste Ledocte has Instituted suit
against Theodore ID. and Stella A. Rey-
inert to recover $500 with interest and
costs of suit. Ledocte alleges that he
loaned E.anu Julia Roth 5000 on prom
issory note, which nate was given to Rey-
inert as an attorney to collect. Reymert
collected the said note, but when Ledocte
called on him ror the money he told him
that he had become very hard pressed
financially and used the coin for his own
benefit. Reymert then told Ledocte that
if he would let him have enough more to
make up $1,000. he and his wife would
give him security in the shape OF mort
gage. Ledocte declined this proposition
when Roy inert tried to borrow 5000. The
