THE RUBIO CANYON
The Improvements ~ the Supervisors
Objected to

Quite hot fight is being waged just
now in department five before Judge
Shaw in the suit of Jacob Rudel against
the county of Los Angeles.
The board of supervisors has recently
inaugurated scheme of improvement in
the Rubio canyon district to which the
plaintiff decidedly objects. The plan,
it appears, is to construct a ditch by
which the water which comes tearing
down the Rubio canyon during and af-
ter the rainy season shall be diverted
into the channel of the river flowing
from Eaton canyon, one mile east of the
Rubio canyon.
The plaintiff, who owns an extensive
vineyard about three miles north of
the Eaton canyon, contends that the
Eaton watercourse causes trouble and
flooding as 1t is, and that if the waters
from Rubio are turned into it his as
we'll as other peoples lands will be de-
vastated.
temporary restraining order was is
sued some time ago, and the purpose of
this suit is to make the order permanent.
Yesterday testimony was taken in the
matter and the further hearing will be
continued today.
Albert NJ. Stephens. ESQ., and the law
firm of Wilson & Bulia are representing
the plaintiff in the action and Chief
Deputy Attorney Holtou, assisted by
w. s. Wright of Pasadena, are watching
the interests of the county.

THE PERFUMERY THEFT
S. G. Neal Convicted Of Burglary in the
First Degree

There was strong odor of Frangi-
pannie and Jockey Club in department
one yesterday, and the court room was
Uttered with a miscellaneous assortment
of perfumery and a hide of Russian
leather.
s. G. Neal is quite a pretty young
fellow. He Shoots" his linen and dresses
in immaculate style, but appearances
are deceitful, and yesterday he was
brought into court to stand his trial for
having burglarized the wareroom of W.
E. Brown in the Lafranco block on Main
street on Oct 18th.
The evidence against the defendant
was circumstantial, but strong of it's
kind. Neal was discovered living in an
attic room at the Irving on South Hill
street All of the miscellaneous effects
stolen We're found in his room, a large
quantity being packed and addressed,
all ready for shipment.
The prosecuting witness Brown was
rather weak in his identification of the
articles, and thereby gave the defense
an additional chance to show that Nea
had not been connected with the bur
glary, inasmuch as he held the goods
found in his room as an agent for per-
fumery concern.
The jury took the case under consd-
eration for about an hour, and then re-
turned a verdict of burglary in the frs
| degree.

Insane Patients Continue to Ar

Going-Court Notes

The fact that a receiver had been ap-
pointed for the Los Angeles Iron and
Steel company caused considerable
gossip around town yesterday after
noon.
The application has been filed in de-
partment five. and Judge Shaw appointed
William j. Boyle as receiver, with a bond
set at 200. 1t was not long before the
fact leaked out upon the streets, and the
busy tongues began discussing the fu-
ture of one of the pet enterprises of the
city.
c. D. Pillsbury, Esq, who is acting as
attorney for the receiver, was seen with
regard to the present condition of the
company's affairs, and also the possi-
bility of the present difficulties being sat
isfactorily adjusted for all concerned.
Mr.. Pillsbury spoke very conservative
ly, but stated that so far as could be
seen at present there was no reason
whatever to suppose that any hitch
would occur to prevent every Indebted
ness being met in time.
The Los Angeles Iron and Steel COM
pany was started in 1894, at a rather bad
time 1t was an evidence of the pluck
Of those who were behind it that an en-
terprise that promised. and promises
still so much for Southern California
should have been launched at time
of almost universal business depression.
Since then the stringency in the money
market has caused the business to be
carried on on very contracted scale.
The increasing freight rates, too, on
steel billets, with no corresponding IL
crease in the price of the manufactured
product, has been the potent factor in
crowding the company. The actual bus
mess done since opening up two years
ago, has been good considering the hard
times, and there is no reason to suppose
from the showing made that the rolling
mills will not be most profitable en-
terprse.
A short time ago the works were
closed own, certain improvements, etc,
being contempla ted, but as several cred
itors were clamoring for money it was
considered better, in the interest of the
creditors, that the company's affairs
should pass into the hands of a re-
ceiver. as preliminary to re-openinf
and resuming business.

MORE INSANE PATIENTS
The Recruits for the Asylum Continue
to Arrive

The cry is, "Still they come" Tony
Weyers was committed to the county
asylum on Monday, it not being clear
that his mental disturbance was not
merely the temporary exuberance caused
by too free indulgence in whisky. On
Monday night Tony himself settled the
vexed question for he became maniacal,
tore his clothes to shreds, and pranced
around in a state of nudity. He was
brought before Junge Van Dyke yester-
day, and was again examined, with the
result that he was ordered committed
to Highlands.
All Wing, alias Leung Yok, is China
man who has been confined in the county
jail and has lately developed insane
symptoms. His insanity displays itself
in curious form. He imagines that he
has lost the power of speech, and when
he stares at anyone addressing him 1t
appears as If his organs of speech are
paralyzed. In addition to this, however,
All Wing spends most of his time on his
knee monotonously bending his head
and humping it on the ground in meek
alteration before some imaginary joss.
The patient was brought before Judge
York last evening for examination, and
was ordered committed to Highlands.
