TWO IMPORTANT DECISIONS
Rendered by Judge Ross. of the U. S.
Circuit Court.

LOS ANGELES, May 25.-Judge Ross
of the United States Circuit Court this
morning filed an opinion of great i'm
portance, affecting the water privilege
for about $4,000 acres of as fine land as
Southern California possesses. The case
is that of Irvine Company VS.. John S.
Bond ct al, wherein the court over
ruled the plea of the defendants, with
leave to answer.
It is a suit in equity brought by the
complainant, a corporation organized
under the laws of West Virginia,
against a large number of citizens of
California to procure a decree quieting
the comp1ainant's right to the waters
of Santiago Creek, in Orange County,
and an injunction enjoining defendants
from interfering with the waters or its
dams, fumes, bitches, etc.
The complainant based its rights
upon it's alleged ownership of the
Rancho Tomas de Santiago, in Orange
County, containing $4,000 acres of land,
and an adjoining tract of 1900 acres
OF the Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana,
through which latter tract the Santiago
Creek runs in its natural channel, and
riparian to which it is avefrei are all
the lands owned by the complainant.
The Judge says that the allegation
that Mr.. Irvine fled from Orange Coun-
~ to avoid service in an action brought
in the Orange County Superior Court,
and remained in hiding until after he
had executed the deed in question, is
not true. In view of the testimony, he
holds that he would not be justified in
holding that the conveyance made by
James Irvine to the complainant com
pany was fictitious and not real.

Judge Ross also filed an opinion to-
day in the case of the United States VS..
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany and z. NJ. Wright. This Is the
case in which certain lands were pat
ented by the United States to the rail-
road, and were also claimed by the
State as school lands. Wright had
deed from the railroad and also pat
ent from the State of California. The
court held that the land did not pass
under the railroad grant, nor by reason
OF the fact that the State had selected
the land as school land, and further
held that the land was not granted to
the State for the reason that the State
selection had not been approved by the
Department of the Interior.
The court therefore entered decree
in favor of the Government against the
title held under the railroad and that
held under the State.

ATHENS, May 25.-The long expected
disaster in Crete seems to have been
suddenly precipitated. Since Sunday
anarchy has reigned in Canea, where
the Turkish soldiers have poured
through the streets shooting, massacre
ing and pillaging Christians. Among
the killed are Cavasses of the Greek

suls have telegraphed to their respective
Governments asking that warships be
at once dispatched. The British fleet at
Malta sailed for Canea to-day. The
Greek ironclads will probably follow to-
morrow. The immediate cause of the
disturbance in Canea is unknown. In

provocation offered by the Christians

FRESNO, May 25.-At a late hour
yesterday afternoon John w. Lambert
shot and killed Alex. Betbeder, his
business partner, at Firebaugh. Both
men are we'll known on the West side,
lambert being in the employ of the

several years. The trouble arose from
dispute over business affairs, 1t ap-
pears, the partners not getting along
harmoniously Yesterday they became

drew a pistol and shot. Betbeder died
instantly. The murderer was imme-
diately arrested by Constable Adams;
who will bring him to Fresno
The feeling is bitter against Lambert,
as he is known to be of a quarrelsome,
domineering disposition. Betbeder had
been in business in Firebaugh for sew
eral years. He was quiet and much re-
spected in that neighborhood. He was
married but eight months ago.
The only direct information from
Firebaugh concerning the murder was
received here at noon Lambert and
Betbeder had recently dissolved part

them Yesterday afternoon Betbeder
