BIant0n Duncan Case Brought
to a Close Yesterday
FACTS OF THE CONTROVERSY
The Amount Involved Is Small but There
Is a Principle at Stake
Judgment in the Southern Pacific Condemna- =
tion Suits-Divorce Cases Decided-A
Racy Cross Complaint Filled

After many days the case of the Ma
chinery Supply company against Col.
Blanton Duncan. to recover some $l2UO
for a pumping plant, which was put in
at his ranch at Redondo, came to
close before Judge Noyes, sitting for
Judge Clark. in Department 2 yester-
day afternoon, and was finally SUD-
mitted on briefs.
Although the amount of money in
volved is comparatively trivial, there
is a principle involved from Col. Dun
cans standpoint, and he is fighting the
case as hard as if there was million
at stake When the Col. concluded to
develop his Redondo property he con-
tracted with the Machinery Supply
company to put in a steam pumping
plant, having a specified capacity per
hour. The company went ahead with
the work, but in place of put
ting in first-class plant with
which the work could be done, 1t is is
alleged that the company put in
a secondhand boiler and an en-
CINE which was wholly inadequate. Be-
sides it is further alleged that the pump
would not work, and that as matter
of fact no water was pumped. After
the loss Of much time and the eXpendl-
ture of considerable money on the part
of Col. Duncan, the whole plant was re-
jected as a failure, and he refused to
pay for the same. Whereupon, suit
was instituted to recover the amount
