case Of small bottles, each about a quarter OF
inch in diameter and half an inch in length

Mr.. Brooke objected. The dispute over the
validity of exposing the bottles for inspection
by the jury lasted nearly half an hour. and
eventually the Court ruled that the witness
could tell in turn what each bottle contained.

illustrating the witnesss evidence. and II should
therefore be marked as exhibit on behalf Of

addresses a Large and Enthusiastic
Meeting of Republicans.
FORT BRAGG, CAL, Oct. 22.- The
most enthusiastic meeting of the cam
paign was held at this place last evening
under the management OF the Mckinley
and Hobart Club, the speaker of the even
ing being Major C. w. Kyle of San Fran
cisco. Red Mems Hall, the largest. au-
ditorium in the county, was packed to the
doors by an audience which listened at
tentively for two hours to Major Kyle's
eloquent and unanswerable arguments
in favor of the great principles advo-
Gated by the Republican party and his
perfect exposition of the fallacious issues
which are being forced upon the people by
the Bryanites. The statements made IN
speech by the Democratic nominee for
Congress at this place few evenings pre-
vious were completely refuted, and an elo-
quent tribute was paid to J. a. Barham
for his excellent labors in Congress IN be-
half of the people of this district.
Major KyIe's address. A committee repre-
senting the high school and normal
classes of the Fort Bragg schools presented
the ma ior with three beautiful bouquets.
The major paused in his argument to
thank the committee and paid glowing
tribute to our rising generation and our
schools. showing how our youth may rise
to the eminence that Mckinley is sure to
attain after the Sd of November. A tre-
mendous outburst of applause from the
multitude followed. Much good will re-
suit from Major Kyle's speech for protec-
tion and sound money.

TRIUMPH FOR SAN DIEGO
Judge Torrance Sustains the lie.
gality of the Recently Issued
Water Bonds.
The Case Stubbornly Fought by the
Flume Company to Preserve
Its Monopoly.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Oct. 23.-Judge Tor
rance to-day decided in favor of the city
in the case brought by Albert Meyer and
others to have the recently voted water
bonds declared illegal. The city on June
27 voted to issue $500, 600 bonds for the
purchase of water right of 1000 inches
and the construction of q distributing
system.
A contract was entered into with the
Southern California Mountain Water
Company to purchase the water right and
to secure guarantee from the company
to bid certain figure for the construction
of the plant. The plaintiffs contended
that the city had no right to enter into
such a contract and that the company
could not fulfill it. A great many points
were involved, some of them constitu-
tional
Judge Torrance holds that the city had
the right to enter into the contract, that it
Is valid and binding On both parties, and
that the bonds voted to carry out the con-
tract are valid. He says that as the
charges of dishonesty. bribery and illegal
voting have been voluntarily withdrawn
by the parties making them 1t is con-
ceded that the action of the Council
and the election were honest and the
expression of the will of the voters
fairly and honestly given. Therefore, the
courts have no right to stand in the way
of the will of the people unless it Is shown
that the law has been violated in material
points. He finds that this is not the case.
The city has acted within constitutional
limits, the procedu ure has been legal and
binding upon both parties and the propo-
sition carried by more than two-thirds
vote of the people, so that the bonds are
unquestionably valid.
The decision is regarded as great
triumph for the city, as the case was stub
bornly fought by the San Diego Flume
Company, which is now supplying the
city, and is naturally averse to losing its
N onopoly.

Perjury.
Wedding and Divorce of Irwin

WHAT CHIEF CROWLEY SAYS
Not Inclined to Arrest the Accused
Until Officers Arrive With the
Proper Papers.

PORTLAND, Or, Oct. 22.-GoVernor
Lord has issued a requisition for Irwin s.
Watson, now engaged in the insurance
business in San Francisco. He IS wanted
here, where he resided almost since boy
hood, for perjury. 1t is about i've years
ago that he welded Miss Winnie Spriggs,
the daughter of the minister OF the First
Christian Church at Salem. He is accused
of having taken treacherous advantage
of his wife about year ago by coming
here from San Francisco, his present
home, and, without her knowledge, begin
ming divorce proceedings against her. 1t
is claimed that when he filed his COM
plaint he made oath that he was resi-
dent of this city, and that he had resided
here continuously for one year prior to the
com mmencement of his suit, whereas that
Is not true.
The divorced wife called the attention
of the District Attorney to these alleged
facts, and an information against and
warrant for the arrest of Watson were
issued. Chief of Police Crowley, who was
communicated with upon the subject, re-
piled to Chief of Police Robertson that
Watson was occupying a responsible posi-
ton in San Francisco. He stated further
that there was no danger of Watson leav-
ing the city, and he felt disinclined to ar
rest the accused till Portland officer
came there to take the man in charge at
once.
Mrs. Watson is at present in Seattle.
She is sister-in-law of J. D. l.. McGaughy,
who recently killed DR.. J. A. Ploufin San

sented himself as hay-dealer doing busl-
ness at the corner of Tenth and William
streets in this city, is wanted by the
authorities on charEe of obtaining $o7 oo
worth OF hay from Charles Frost under
false pretenses. Scott paid a small amount
down when he received the hay. He rep
resented he had a large order for hay from
H. Booksin Sr., a local capitalist, and that as
soon as the contract was finished he would
pay for the hay. Scott operated among
the farmers in this vicinity, and upon
these representations secured about 500
worth of hay, which he disposed of to
various dealers. Among those victimized
are: P. Blackwell, E. Senter, II. Swickard
and H. Baker. Scout was last seen Tues
day night. when he was camping near
Milpitas.
