probably be in the interests of economy
to construct a low grade temporary
trestle alongside of the present struct-
lessen the cost of repairs to the bridge,
and to avoid protracted and vexatious
delays to the people using the same.
The work can be done without such
temporary trestle, but heavier false
work would be necessary, with long in
tervals during which teams could not
pass, and a very essential increase in
the cost, owing to the time lost in max
ing temporary provisions for the pass
age of traffic.
Some of the floor beams appear to be
in very good condition, but when the
bridge is on false work, we think it ad-
visable to renew all of them, as they
have been in the bridge now about
eight or nine years, and the ex-
pense of renewing them after the
bridge is on false work is trifiing COM
pared to the cost of putting in the false
work again in order TO renew few of
them. The timber on the second pier
from the north end is very rotten, and
has crushed very recently. We here
with submit a sample of the rotten
wood which was taken out of this
timber
We would also recommend that ex-
pansion rollers be placed under one
end of the middle span. This can be
done without great expense We are
quite sure it will prevent the chords
buckling as they have in the present
span. The bridge evidently has not
rPoRJNa6 ~ CT,
structed, and we would recommend in
the future that it be gone over at least
twice year by a competent man, and
ali of the dirt and rust cleaned off the
rollers at each end of the bridge, and
also, that the floor beams be kept free
from the dirt and mud which works
down between the planks
In view of the present ruptured and
crippled condition of the bridge it is
our opinion that it calls for immediate
action by your board, as we deem it
unsafe in it's present condition with
the constant amount of heavy travel
passing over

he was 19 years of age, and with the re-
mark that he was one of the most hard
ened young criminals that he had ever
faced, Judge Smith sentenced him to

Detective Auble Arrives With His Prisoner
From St. Louis

TFOm LOUIS
Detective Walter Auble arrived in
thls city yesterday afternoon, having in
custody John A. Qualey, the canaigre
boomer, whom he had brought back
from st. Louis to answer to a charge of
grand larceny Auble had some little
difficulty in getting his man, as every
known means was used to prevent his
being taken back. He won out in the
habeaS corpus proceedings that were
instituted and started with his man.
He reports pleasant trip and says
that Qualey gave him no trouble what
ever. While in St. Louis he viewed the
aWtul work of the recent cyclone and
says the newspapers have not told half
the horrors of the storm. He was glad
to get back and has no desire to leave
California again for some time.
Galley was interviewed in his cell at
the Jail shortly after his arrival, but re-
fused to say much about his case. He
admits having passed through Arizona
While on his way east but says he only
stopped off few hours. He did not
represent himself as a mining expert
nor did he transact business there. In
regard to his operations here Qualey
says he did not do anything wrong,
but that he was unfortunate He tried
hard to put his schemes through, but
mad not enough money and so failed.
All he possessed in the world was lost
and he was ruined, but that he sold any
mortgaged furniture or disposed of any
articles to more than one person, never.
Further than this he did not wish to
say anything, as he had not yet had time

Supreme Court OplnIons

Two supreme court opinions were re-
ceived at the office of the supreme court
in this city yesterday for filing.
In the case of James A. Blood, plain
tiff and respondent, vs. La Sarena Land
and Water company, the judgment and
order were reversed and the cause re-
manded for a new trial. The opinion is
written by Justice HenShaw, concurred
In by Justices Garoutte, Van Fleet, Har-
rison and Temple. The complaint is
pleading in the usual form to foreclose
mortgage alleged to have been exc
cuted by defendant corporation to plain
tiff. Defendant answered, denying the
execution of the instrument, and like
wise filed a cross complaint, general
demurrer to which was sustained. A de-
ciSion was given for plaintiff, from
which defendant appealed. A dissent
ing opinion by Justice Mcfarland was
also filed in the case.
In the case of w. r. Virgins, appell-
ant, VS.. the Muscupaibe Land and Water
company, respondent, the judgment of
the lower court is affirmed The opinion
is written by Justice Harrison. concur
red in by Justices Mcfarland, Garoutte,
Van Fleet Temple and Henshaw. This
suit Is to determine the rights to the
waters of Devil Canyon creek Plaintiff
owns a tract of 1000 acres lying to the
south and west of larger tract belong
ing to the plaintiff, through which the
stream flows. The judgment of the trial
court was that plaintiff be enjoined
from diverting the water of the stream
for use upon any portion of his thousand
acre tract, except the northerly 245 acres
thereof, and the defendant is enjoined
from diverting the waters of the stream
for use anywhere, except upon its lands
lying to the north of a line drawn in
prolongation of the north boundary of
the defendants tract. From the judg-
ment thus ordered the plaintiff has ep-
peaed, bringing the appeal here upon
the judgment roll alone, without any bill
of exceptions, and urges il support of
his appeal that the findings of fact are
insufficient to sustain or justify the
Judgment.

Divorces Granted
Mrs. Agnes Warner was granted
decree by Judge York yesterday after
noon divorcing her from Louie Warner,
on the ground of cruelty. The Warmers
figured in a sensational shooting affray
on the East side several weeks ago,
in which Warner took a shot at a young
fellow named Hewitt, 1t Is supposed, be-
cause he thought he was too attentive
to his wife. Hewitt's leg was perforat-
ed, and he has since been laid up for
repairs. Yesterday when Mrs. Warner
appeared in Judge Shaw's department,
accompanied by Hewitt, his honor de-
clined to hear the case, remarking that
he knew great deal about the matter,
and he would be under the necessity of
denying the application. The couple
then went before Judge York, and, as
he was in ignorance of the facts of the
case, on the showing made the divorce
was granted.
H. G.. G. Gordon was divorced from
Mrs. E. w. P. Gordon by Judge McKin-

runaway occurred on Broadway, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth. Mrs. Peck and
a lady friend had driven in a single rig

horse headed for his stable and was
caught before doing any damage.
Early yesterday afternoon a serious
