THE CITY HAS WON ITS CASE
THE VERDICT or THE JURY IN THE HEAD
WORKS CONDEMNATION SUIT
The Land Is Valued At $33, 900, and $2oo Is
Awarded for Damages-An Appeal VIII Be
Taken-Jamss Marshall, the Burglar, On
Trial for Second Offenss

The city has won it's case in the head
works suit, after one of the longest trials
on record, just one day short of five weeks.
The jury was in attendance twenty-five
days, the fees amounting to $52S, which
were paid before the result was announced.
When court convened yesterday morn
ing, Judge Shaw at once proceeded with
the reading of the instructions to the jury.
The instructions were very full on both
sides, forty-1ve minutes being consumed
in the reading.
The jury retired to their room at 1O:45
o'clock, where they remained until noon.
After lunch they were again locked up,
and at o'clock the verdict was returned.
The jury found that the value of the land
was S23 900, with $4,000 damages. The
jury further found that there we're no ben
efits accruing to the adjoining property of
Hooker and Pomeroy, and further, that
they would not be benefited by the erection
of the proposed headworks.
The result Is q great victory for the city,
and goes far toward settling the water
question. The city was given an option on
the land in question several years ago for
$4,000. The city council. however, would
not close the trade, and when the option
expired, the owners of the land refused to
consider anything like the price at which
they had offered it. and condemnation pro-
ceedings were instituted. The suit has been
an expensive one to both sides, on account
of the large number of expert witnesses,
and the extra amount of work involved in
getting up maps, making borinRs, etc. At
the bond election $4,000 was voted for
the purchase of headworks site, and the
fact that the verdict is well within that
figure, is a cause of general lcongratulation.
Messrs. Pomeroy and Hooker will appeal
the case to the supreme court.
The city attorney expressed himself to q
HERALD representative as greatly pleased
with the result. He said he considered the
verdict one Of vast importance to Los
Angeles and far reaching in its effects. He
claims that the case decided bears log
ical relation to the case now pending be-
tween the Crystal Springs Water company
and the city in the United States district
court, and the facts brought out and the
verdict rendered in the cause closed yester-
day should operate favorably to the muni-
Gina lity in the other contest

supre me Court Opinions

Three supreme court opinions were re-
ceived at the office of the clerk in this city
yesterday for filing.
In the case of Samuel Bernstein, plain
tiff and respondent, va. John W. Downs,
defendant and appellant, the judgment
and order denying a new trial appealed
from are affirmed. The opinion is writ
ten by Justice Mcfarland and con-
Cured in by Justices Henshaw and Tenn
Pile. This action was brought to recover
S432.25 for work and material furnished
by plaintiffs assignors in making improve
ments on the street and sidewalk in front
of defendants lot in San Bernardino. This
sum was the amount originally fixed as a
street assessment, but the assessment, on
account of irregularty, became void, and
the action is founded upon defendants s
promise to pay the amount go assessed.
Judgment went for plaintiff. The work in
question was done by Ramish e. Marsh
of this city, who assigned their claim to
Bernstein.
The opinion in the case of Rev. H. z.
Rowland was also received, the main
points of which have already been printed
in THE HERALD.
In the case of Louie Foo, convicted of
having assaulted one HON Fack with a
deadly weapon, the judgment of the lower
court is affirmed. The opinion is written
by Commissioner Searles, concurred in by
Commissioners Haynes and Belcher, and
affirmed by Justices Mcfarland, Temple
and Henshaw.

In the Woods In Winter Time.

As we wound along the little woodland
stream that slipped so softly by we could
scarcely hear it. We saw what had become
of hosts ana hosts of leaves of all varieties.
The little stream had drowned them with.
out murmur, and now they lay, brown,
red and amber, on the shallow bed look
ing brighter than when they fluttered dry
and nesting, along the ground There
were great leaves of the sycamore (Which
must be a thirsty tree, since il Is so often
found by running water), leaves broad as
a giants hand, brown rs leather, and with
the smell of wet leather There were also
large grapevine leaves, with curious pat
terms wrought upon them by some insect
--scallops and scrollwork and fantastic zig.
gag lines. There were dark red oak leaves,
many of which had round little balls
growing upon them, and i'm every ball was
the egg Of an insect called the gall fly.
Then we recalled how the stately wands of
the goldenrod which we had noticed in the
lane would often have round, very hard
woody growth i'm the middle Of the stem.
This, too, was a winter home--the cradle
Of grub that would become in time a
gauzy winged ily.-Edith NJ Thomas in
