T. II. Laws Suing the Administrative OF his

The case of T. H. Laws against Marian

terday. The plaintiff sets forth that he is
the nephew of the deceased, of whom the
defendant is the widow and executrix OF
his estate; that his uncle was about twelve
years older than he and was n very close
and lifelong friend of his; that for thirty
years they were thus associated, and that
tho uncle was plaintiffs business adviser
and friend at all times; that in 1Ss4-S5
plaintiff was dealing heavily in groceries in
Los Angeles, and knowing the vicssitudes
of business his uncle warned him that he
ought to have his home place fixed 80 that
it would be safe TO him; SO at his instance
this property. reciting a consider
alton of $25OO, but in fact there
was no consideration. This was put on
record so that ostensibly the uncle was the
owner of the place, but he really held it as
trustee for the plaintiff. In order that
there might be no mistake the uncle drew
deed conveying back to plaintiff the
property, but not delivering it to him. so it
would not take effect. He appended to it
paper, however, recitirg that in the event
of his death the deed should be delivered
to plaintiff. Plaintiff had been mean
while, all this time, twelve years in all,
living on the place. The uncle died, but
his wife, executor. failed to deliver the
deed to the plaintiff. In the answer of de-
fendant she claims to know nothing about
all these matters which her nephew sets
forth, and asks to have his action dis
missed and the thing allowed to rest as it
stands.

ORR WINS

Jadge Mckinley Decides in His Favor in
Divorce Proceedings
Judge Mckinley yesterday gave his de-
cision in the divorce suit of Orr vs.. Orr,
holding that the proof of marriage was not
sufficient, and therefore that the alleged
wife had no cause for action for divorce, as
no marriage had been performed.
The case is peculiar one in several
respects. Oscar o. Orr, a young man of
this city, became enamored with a wait
ross, and it is alleged went through the
form of marriage with her. After some
months he tired Of the girl. and refused to
recognize her, whereupon she brought suit
for divorce to establish her legal status.
On the trial number of letters were in
troduced, which went to show that marital
relations had been maintained between the
couple, and on the witness stand the girl
detailed the circumstances of the alleged
marriage. telling where ir was performed
and describing the man who purported to
be minister on that occasion. Afterward
she said that she was told that the cere-
mony was only mock marriage. and that
she had been duped. Orr set up general
denial.
The case was very hotly contested by
Messrs. Davis and Rush, on behalf of the
plaintiff. Owing to the questions involved,
the case attracted much attention from
members of the bar, as we'll as the general
public. II is possible that an appeal will
be taken to the supreme court.

STONEMAN WATER SUIT

The Widow Of the Ex-Governor Is Suing the
Consumers
The trial of the case of Mary A. Stone
man VS.. Louis c. Anderson ct al. was COM
Ynenced in Department Six yesterday
afternoon. The plaintiff is the wife of
General George Stoneman, ex-governor of
California, and the trouble occurs over the
Rancho Los RobIes, commonly called the
Stoneman ranch. This contains about 200
acres of land and is one of the most valu-
able water-bearing tracts in the region of
Los Angeles. Some time ago the plaintiff
sold to one Titus about twenty acres of this
land with enough water flowing along the
surface of the land to irrigate the tract
sold. Titus sold to the defendant, and
thereupon there was placed on the land
five-inch pipe to conduct water from rum
ming stream to the land sold. Since then
Mrs. Stoneman has developed about
fifteen inches of water on the land which
she claims to be worth about $1,000 per
inch. She says there are about forty
inches Of water possible of development
upon the land, and that all of it is worth
$1,000 per inch. The defendants claim the
right to use this water she has developed,
and by their interference and threats, she
says, they have prevented her from taking
water from her own reservoir to irricate
her own orchard and tied up all her water
interests in the land. She wants the oripi-
Ial deed to be pulled on the defendants
and wants their rights defined under it..

ANOTHER DARING BURGLARY
The Residence of W. R. Blackmar
Entered and Robbed
On Sunday Night Last, While the Family
Slept, the Thieves Got In Their Work.
The Booty Secured

Another 10 the recent large list of daring
burglaries is to be recorded. Notwithstand-
ing the efforts of the police and detectives,
housebreaking is an almost daily occur
renee, but fortunately the thieves thus far
have secured comparatively little booty.
Last Sunday the residence of w. r. Black
man, secretary and treasurer of the Los
Angeles Lighting company, at No. 1858
Lovelace avenue. was entered while the
family were asleep, and numerous articles
of value taken. Not until Monday morning
was the robbery discovered, when the
police were promptly notified.
Entrance to the premises was evidently
first attempted at the kitchen door, as SOW
eral screws had been removed from the
lock, and the,key, in the door on the inside,
showed traces whore nippers had been
used in an endeavor to turn it. The door,
however, was slightly sunken, and the bolt
turned so hard the burglars gave up this
means as bad job and turned their atten-
ton elsewhere. They next secured step
ladder from under the house and proceeded
to remove the screen from one of the
kitchen windows and push back the catch.
Wishing to prop up the sash and provide
an easy avenue of escape in case of dis
covery, the thieves coolly got a hatchet and
chopped off stick long enough to hold up
the window when they entered.
They landed just over the sink, from
which it was but a step to the floor. The
dining room was entered and thoroughly
ransacked, everything being turned topsy-
turvy and the whole lower floor was looted
of portable articles of value. On the table
in the dining room lay large amount of
silverware which the thieves did not touch,
as it was all marked with a monogram. A
silver mug was taken and an ash tray,
which was evidently mistaken for silver, al
though it was aluminium. In Mrs. Black
mans desk IS bill was secured and a
gold mounted meerschaum pipe, which
was highly priced by Mr.. Blackman, hav-
ing been made present to him in Europe,
at the Vienna exposition, was also gath
cred in.
The burglars were evidently after cash,
knowing that Mr.. Blackman is secretary
of the First Congregational church, and
that he usually ON Sunday hight has con.
siderable sum in church funds on hand.
This they failed to get, as it was in one OF
the upstairs rooms, which we're not entered.
None of the family jewelry was secured, it
being also in one of the upper bedrooms.
A fine violin belonging to one of Mr.. Black
mans sons was taken and this it is hoped
may lead to the discovery of the thieves if
any attempt is made to pawn or sell it.
After securing their booty the midnight
visitors opened the rear door and made
their escape as silently as they had come,
leaving no trace behind them to serve as a
clue to their identity. Every effort is be-
ing made to apprehend the perpetrators of
the daring outrage and the police are con-
ndent of their capture.

ing for sentence on a charge of burglary.
He and Forrest are supposed to have been
implicated in at least twenty-five burRla
ries in this city, and Forrest is now serving
a nine.year sentence for his crime. Con-
ley, although still young man, is a very
dangerous criminal, having started in at
the reform school, and has already served
four terms in the penitentiary, all of them
for burglary.
When Judge Smith was about to pass
sentence Conley handed him a little
note, which was request not to send him
to Folsom penitentiary, as he had previous
ly been there. The court granted his re-
quest and gave him five years at San Quen-
tin. The officers state that the reason
Conley did not want to go to Folsom was
because there are some prisoners in Fol-
som who were put there through his "tip-
ping" them to the authorities, and they
would be glad to see him there. The de.
fendant did not wish to be cast upon their
tender mercles.

The hearing of the suit Of the city of Los
Angeles VS.. A. E. Pomeroy and j. D.
Hooker, to condemn 3O7 acres of land on
the Providencia rancho for site for head
works for the proposed city water system,
was resumed before Judge Shaw yesterday
morning. The principal witness was Civil
Engineer Burr Bassell, who was on the
stand during almost the entire day. Mr..
Bassell has made an exhaustive study of
the subject, and gave minute testimony as
to the water shed of the Los Angeles river
and Its relation to the land in question,
which he claims has been demonstrated by
surveys to be the lowest point of the water
shed and the point where the various
streams that feed the river converge.
Mr.. Bassell illustrated his testimony by
handsome profile map which he had pre-.
pared of the W .ter shed of the river, and
the examination was followed with the
closest attention by those present in the
court room.

STOLE KNIVES AND GUNS
Locksmith Shop on First Street Robbed
Monday Night
Two Hundred Pocket Knives, Some Razors
and RevoIvers Taken-No Clew
to the Thieves

The locksmithing and gun store at 115
East First street, owned by Louis Escalier
and Gustave Boiteaux, was burglarized
some time Monday night and several hum
dred dollars worth of goods stolen. Esca-
lier's place is situated in one of the small
shacks that line the north side of First
street just below Main, and is of very
flimsy construction. The yard back Of the
place Is open to access from billiard room
and poker joint which 10 next door. En-
trance to the place was effected by using
knife to whittle away an opening on one
side of the thin door, and reaching in and
raising the hook by which it was fastened.
Once in the thieves had a clean field in
which to work. A showcase hung on one
of the side walls filled with revolvers and
pocket knives.
Three or more of the guns were abstract
ed, one of very fine make, some two dozen
razors and something like 200 knives.
None but the best class of articles were
taken, the thieves showing fine discrimina-
tion in their selection. In a drawer was q
watch which had been left for repairing,
but which was ov erlooked. No tools were
taken and after packing up their loot the
burglars departed in the manner in which
they entered. Escalier was considerably
proken up over MS loss anu packed tne re-
mainder of his stock up to bs taken to his
home, where he hopes it will be safe. In
the future he will keep nothing in his shop
but the tools used in key-fitting and repair
! work.
Some seven years ago when he had o
shop on the opposite side of the street
Lscalier was robbed in nearly the same
manner. The police were notified of the
| affair and Constable Harry Johnston ut
once sent man to take the description OF
the stolen articles. The job was probably
done by someone familiar with the prem
ises and who worked in no fear of detec.
ton as the yard is closed on all sides and
only the habitues of the card rooms would
| be liable to see him.
