DROWNED IN A RESERVOIR
A schoolboy Sinks While Swimming In a
Tank Near Eagle Pack

Coroner Campbell yesterdawmorning
was notified that an accidental drown
ing had taken place near Eagle Rock
and at once left for that little settlement
to hold an inquest. The victim was a.
lad 131a years of age named Richard X
Watson, native of Canada, who
resided with his mother and brother on
ranch near the town. Monday after
noon young Watson and five other boys
were returning from school when they
passed a large irrigation reservoir on
Roper's ranch. One of the boys pro-
posed that they take a swim, and Wat
son and two others We're soon in the
water
Young Watson was good swimmer,
and crossed the reservoir once, and was
returning a distance of some 800 feet
When near the shore he suddenly threw
up his hands and sank without a word.
His companions were too frightened to
render him any assistance, but a boy
named Phelps ran a distance of a mile
and notified Watson's brother. The lat
ter saddled horse and rode to the res
cue. He dove down where little Dick
sank and recovered tn body, but too
late, life was extinct. The inquest was
held yesterday morning, a verdict of ac-
cidental drowning being rendered.

Arrestei In the Court Hou..

Louis Rudolph was arrested in the
corridor of the court house, just out
side of the door of Department Five,
yesterday morning by Deputy Sheriff
Wilson of San Gabriel. Rudolph is the
plaintiH in water suit, which had lust
been continued, and as he stepped out
slde the court room the deputy sheriff
nabbed him. Rudolph at first demur-
red. and made some slight resistance.
but on the advice of Judge GottschaIk'
ne desisted, and accompanied Wilson to
the sheriff's office. where deputy
United States marshal took him in
charge. He was then taken before
United States Commissioner Van Dyke.
who fixed his bail at $780, which he gave
and was released from custody.
Rudolph was accused, jointly with
Alvin Bahmer, of sending an obscene
letter through the mails January 9th.
addressed to Rev. Kowalewsky, La
manda Park Cal" 1t was in German
and couched in vile and scurrilous
terms.
BANNER was arrested, examined and
discharged, but Rudolph kept out of the
way, and continued to do so success
fully unit this morning, when he was
nabbed by Deputy Sheriff Wilson, who
was on the watch for him, knowing that
the superior court case was set for trial
today and that in all probability Ru-
dolph would be present. After the first
excitement the young man took his ar
rest coolly enough.
The letter complained of was an out
growth of very bitter water fight which
caused Rudolph's appearance in Judge
EhaW's court this morning. In this suit
ne, with August Kowalewsky, Christie
pher Greve and Michael Luy are plain
tiffs and H. p. Ware defendant.
The plaintiffs went into partnership
in the spring of 1895 in the development
of water claimed by Rudolph in a can
yon lying north of Deer park, in this
county, about a mile and a half east OF
Mease canyon and running into Fish
canyon.
The defendant, H. P.Ware, also claims
water rights there. and that the plain
tiffs have no rights that can stand
against his own. There are charges and
counter charges of threats and intimi-
dation. Rudolph and his partners say
henchmen, while the latter makes sim
liar charges and says that he has been
intimidated to such an extent by
threats of personal violence that he has
been obliged to give up further devel-
opment of water.
The plaintiffs want an injunction to
prevent Ware from interfering with
them, and he not only wants an injunc-
tion but $4,000 damages.
The plaintiffs are all men whose ac-
cent has strong Slav flavor and are
not very fluent in English, Those who
We're with Rudolph this morning per-
epired freely under the excitement and
talked very earnestly in their own Ian
Suage. Both sides are ready for trial,
put the trial of another case being on,
continuance was necessary until JuEe
o Wnen the merry water war will be on
with all Its complications.

WANT TO KNOW YOU KNOW
Leading Republican Organs and the A.
p. A.
A Communication From the Sacramento Bee
to Hervey LindIey, w. e. Arthur and
Others-No Answers Given

The San Francisco Bulletin and Sacra-
mento Bee and others Of the leading
republican newspapers in the northern
part of the state, are seeking to tear
their party away from the American
protective association, which they are
hghting tooth and tOenail. The Bee has
lately been sending to the big party
chieftains throughout the state a letter
of which the following is copy:
Enclosed you Will find an editorial from
the Bee of Monday, May 25th, in refer
ence to the true doctrines of the Republi-
can party, and the stand it seems to be
taking in California at present against
those doctrines, While acting In partner
ship with an un-American. an un-Re-
publican, bigoted and a proscriptive
institutions alien in sentiment and an
tagonistic to every principle enunciated
in the Declaration of Independence. and
every idea of human liberty and rights
promulgated in the constitution of the
United States.
AS you are recognized to be prominent
in the councils of the Republican party
of this state, The Bee asks you to write
for it's columns an answer to this ques-
ton: What do you think should be the
duty of the Republican party at this time
in reference to voicing its sentiments
openly and Enthusiastically as to the
American Protective association, or as
to any other institution of like charac-
ter, which has for its fundamental idea
the political and civil prescription of
American citizens who dare to exercise
that freedom of worship granted to
them by the constitution Of this country
Among those who have received copies
of the above in this city are Hervey
Lindley. Capt H. u. Osborne, Frank p.
Flint and VIM. T.. Arthur of Pasadena.
No replies have as yet been forwarded
to the Bees letter, and none will be
sent for the very good reason that in
this county every prominent Republican
is a member of the organization which
the Bee is seeking to annihilate.

placers. and says all that it requires for

miners and a small amount of capital.
