Eureka divisi1n, having been changed
within a year from an infantry company
has labored under some disadvantages,
but it is adapting itself rapidly to its
new condition under good officers.
The division at Santa Cruz is reported
in good condition. The men turned out
we'll at inspection and performed the
company movements well, especially
that in the riot drill. With regard to the
San Francisco divisions the report says
that the books, records and equipments
of the second division were neatly stored
and cared fIs. The bearing of the men
was excellent and they exhibited consid-
cradle pride and interest in their or
| ganization.
This is what is written of the first di-
vision Inspections:
The arms and equipments of this divi-
sion were brought to the boathouse in
great disorder late, although ample time
had been allowed.
All its property showed great neglect
and carelessness in the handling. In
many of the rifles the sights are broken.
AT the inspection and muster in the
evening the men appeared careless and
indifferent, and seemed to lack respect
for their officers. In both the first and
second divisions there are very serious
deficits, as s's)wn by their property re-
turns, and their commander should be
ton. These commands have been or
ganized within three years and We're
supplied with the very best quality of
| clothing, arms and equipments. Why
| there should be a deficit of eleven rifles
| in one command and seven in another;
| of forty-two uniform pantaloons in one
| and forty eight in another; also seri-
| Gus shortage in hats, caps. shirts. white
| pantaloons, blankets, neckerchiefs, leg
| ui oo11pheS etc for which they are
| responsible, has not been explained.
| / recommend that action be taken
| against the officers responsible for the
| serious shortage in the property for
which they are accountable to the state.
| In conclusion Colonel Currier states
he considers the guard today in much
| better condition than it was year ago.
1t was recommended that Lieutenant
| Colonels Thomas NJ. Cluff, James f.
Smith Fred F. Follis and George X.
| Burdick be assigned to positions on the

No one entered the servant girls room,
as she always used a lamp. although
there was a gas jet in the apartment.
Failing to find anything wrong, the fam
lily retired.
At $50 the next morning Mr.. Gooding
awakened and was surprised to find
that no one was stirring about the resi-
dence. He called down the stairs to
Kate, but received no reply. Hastily
dressing himself, he went to her room,
which was locked, and knocked loudly
at the door. Finally his son, Clay p.
Gooding, forced the door in, and the
| body of the woman was found on the
! bed, clad in her night clothes. with a
| stocking pinned around her head.
| The room was full of gas, which was
escaping from half-open burner. which
| projected from the wall tongside the
| bureau. The two windows We're tightly
| closed, contrary to her usual custom.
| The stocking pinned around her fore
head may have been saturated with
| some drug to produce unconsciousness
| although this could not be detected
| either by smell or residue. From the
position of the bureau, which had been
, slightly pulled out from the wall, it
| appeared as though the cock of the gas
| jet had been accidentally turned by be-
ing struck by the article of furniture
when 1t was moved, thus turning the
! gas nearly full on.
| This theory seems plausible, as the
| woman never used the gas for illuminat-
! ing purposes, and the cock worked cas-
| lily. She might have pulled the bureau
| slightly out and, In so doing, turned on
| the gas without being aware of it, Then,
| retiring, she was unconsciously suffo-
Gated by the insidious fumes. 1t had
been her habit to sleep with the win
dows open, which was not the case Sum
| day night, but this is accounted for by
| the supposition that she had a head
| ache, to relieve which the stocking was
| pinned around her head. and she closed
the windows that she might not catch
| cold.
This theory was evidently accepted
| by the coroner's jury, as verdict of
death by accidental suffocation was
| rendered. The remains are at the par
lors of Kreselo & Breese, where the in
quest was held, and from where they
| will be inferred today No note or writ
ing was left by the deceased, and her

city of San Diego under q contract which
was in form lease from the water COM
pany to Bryant Howard and four others
and a sub-lease by them to the city.
Howard and the others We're expressly
exempt from liability o. any nature
and the lease to them was to be void
unless the sub-lease to the city was
made The lease, sub-lease and contract
with the city were therefore practically
one transaction. In September, 1892, the
plaintiffs, Higgins and Llewellyn, tax
payers of San Diego, commenced an ac-
tion for the annulment Of the lease and
sub-lease, and for an injunction against
the treasurer and auditor of the city of
San Diego prohibiting them from allow
ing and paying any claims arising out
of the transaction. After the hearing
of much evidence pro and contra. the
superior court decided that the contract
was invalid. citing section Is, article
XXI. of the constitution, and section IL,
article II. chapter II, of the charter of
San Diego.
AS matter of fact the terms of the
sub-lease. whereby the city was to pay
a monthly rental for the water works
of $916665, were drawn up for the pur-
pose of using the amount thus secured
in the constructions of railway. The
superior court held the contract void
because the city was led into subsidizing
a railway under the guise of paying rent
and because the mayor had not suffi-
cient authority to execute the contract
on the part of the city.
The supreme court sustained the view
that the express contract to pay $9166.65
month was invalid for the reasons
stated. but there was no reason why the
city should not pay a reasonable rental
for the water works. Hence the judg-
ment was reversed and the cause re-
manded to the superior court with in
structions to enter Judgment in favor
of the water company for the value to
the city of the use Of the company's
plant during the time 1t was actually
retained by the city. The decision Is
signed by Chief Justice Beatty and con-
Cured in by Justices Mcfarland, Hen
shaw and Temple, Justice Harrison dis

IMPORTANT IRRIGATION SUIT
Action Commenced by Directors Of the Linda
Vista District

A suit by the trustees for the bound
holders of the Linda Vista irrigation dis
trict TO foreclose the lien upon the old
Pamo water system, was filed in San
Diego county last Saturday afternoon
by Col. E. J. Ensign of this city, on be-
half of Theodore S. and John c. Van
Dyke, trustees.
The ultimate object Of the suit is to
obtain possession of the water supply
for the, benefit of private parties, who
wish to build water system on Linda
Vista. which is now in an irrigation
district and has been delayed for that
reason, in it's attempt to obtain irriga-
ton.
The present bonded indebtedness of
the district is $176000. OF this amount
s120, 900, $4,000 of which are owned in
this city, IS represented in the suit in
which other bondholders are expected
to join. This suit, while not the largest,
is one of the most important ever filed
in San Diego county for the reason that
it is a practical step looking towards the
irrigation of large stretches of hitherto
barren lands.
The Linda Vista district includes A.
900 acres of the choicest land in Southern
California, which exetends south from
Oceanside along the line of the Southern
California railroad, to the northern lin
it's of the city of San Diego, and which
only wants the application of water to
transform it into an ornamental front
yard for the city of bay n'climate.
This litigation is entirely distinct from
the water fight at present being waged
in San Diego, and it is only one step in
the direction of irrigating the territory
mentioned, unhampered by the uncer-
tainities of the Wright irrigation law
from which the Rialto, in San Bernar-
dino county, and other districts are try
ing to escape

represents another phase of the varied

contract between the San Diego Flume

bringing the water to the city limits,
where the water company has been dis
tributing it through its pipes, being the
sole agent of the flume company.

A Recommendation is also made that
the muskets. model Of 1875, in the hands
of the National guard cannot be replaced
too soon by more modern and effective
arm. Says the report:
"A large proportion of the guns are
worn out and should be condemned.
They are unreliable. and these facts
being known to the 1ren cannot help but
create disrrust and uncertainty should
they be called upon to go into active
service"
Attention is called to the lack of blank

Companies should provide themselves
