water for Domestic Purposes

In reply to a query of Superin-
tendent Of Irrigation Rankin, State
Engineer Sumner has made the
following ruling as to water and
priorities. The law, as given In
section bll, Mills Annotated stat
utes, rs interpret it, does not take
from prior appropriations any of
their rights to the use OF water for
irrigation through their bitches.
The right to take water for domes-
tic use must be, in times of scarci'
ty, limited to the actual necessities
Of the case, and the means used to
preserve this water must be such
as to insure against a loss and
waste of the same. As the limited
amount required can not be nomi-
nally distributed in bitches I deem
it both wrong and illegal to make
this distribution in bitches to the
injury Of prior appropriations for
beneficial uses in irrigating lands.

new HOPES SENSATION,
Rev. G. Fl. Frazier Arrested on
a Charge of Attempted
EXtortion.
Said to Have Demanded Money From
Picnickers Who Bombarded His
Church.

STOCKTON, CAL. Aug. 25.-The town
of New Hope has sensation. The minis
ter of the Methodist church of that town
has been arrested for an attempt to ex-
tort money. His trial comes up before
Justice Powell tomorrow, and District
Attorney Nutter was to-day summoned to
conduct the prosecution. A great deal of
interest centers in the trial, as many New
Hope citizens are directly interested In it.
Rev. G. H. Frazier occupies the pulpit
at New Hope every other Sunday, dividing
his time between that town and Isleton in
Sacramento County.
A week ago last Sunday the minister
was conducting services in his New Hope
church, when party of light-hearsed pic
nlckers were returning from a watermelon
feast. And as they passed the church
they irrvverently threw melon rinds at
the edihce where divine service was in
progress. Their conduct so enraged the
clergyman that he determined to get satis-
faction, and of the monetary variety too.
He ascertained the names of several of the
young men who were in the party and
who had thrown the rinds, and is alleged
to have demanded reparation in the form
of cash, holding above them the threat of
prosecution if they did not produce. 1t is
said that he obtained small sums from
several of those upon whom he made the
demand.
The minister approached, among others,
young man named Reuben Boon. He
refused to pay a cent for mis- fun, and
swore to a complaint charging the pastor
with an attempt at extortion. The clergy
man is married and has family.

PORTLAND ADD UOTION.

Children Stolen by Their Mother From a
Charitable Institution.
PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 25.-The sequel
to the attempted murder of Mrs. Eliza
beth Marr by Henry Cook, followed by his
suicide, came up to-day. Four weeks ago
Cook, saloon-keeper, who was in love
with Mrs. Marr, shot her, but not fatally,
and then killed himself. After the tragedy
Superintendent Gardiner of the Boys and
Girls Aid Society secured an order from
the County Court giving the society the
custody of her two small children. This
was done on the ground that neither Mrs.
Marr or her husband were fit persons to
have the children.
The court was to have made the order
permanent to-day, but Superintendent
Gardiner reported that Mrs. Marr had
stolen the children. She with another
woman drove up to the society's house
and while the matron was engaged they
dragged the children into buggy. They
drove off and have not been seen since.

FIRE Wipes OUT A TOWN
Ontonagon, Mich, Presents a
Scene of Desolation and
Abject Horror.
Two Thousand People Are Homeless
and Without Food and
Shelter.

GREEN BAY, WIS, Aug. 25.-Ontona-
gon, Mich, was wiped out by fire to-day.
Telegraphic communication, which has
been cut off since o'clock this afternoon,
was made with this city at late hour to-
night. The fire has left absolutely MOTH
ing of the town, and the scene is one of
abject horror. Two thousand people who
were comfortably housed Tuesday morning
are now homeless and without food or
shelter.
A message received from the Mayor of
Ontonagon at IL: AS A. NJ. this "wednesday
morning by the Mayor OF Green Bay
asked for assistance, saying they want
tents and food for 1900 people. The ruin
involves the extensive lumber and box
manufacturing factory of the Diamond
Match Company, an establishment alone
worth upwards of 81, 10000 and reported
to carry about $500, 600 of insurance on
lum ber and plant.
To-day's catastrophe began with the
small fires III the swamp just south of
town, to which no attention was paid. as
they were not considered dangerous; but
this morning the wind freshened to e.
gale from the south, the swamp
piles in close proximity and before effec-
tive defense could be made the flames were
beyond control and driving straight for
the village at rate so rapid that nothing
was thought of but the salvation OF human
lives. In response TO appeals the railroad
companies sent all available engines and
cars.
At o'clock this afternoon the operators
in the telegraph offices were driven from
the KEYS, and, as that Office was centrally
located, there can be no doubt that the
entire town was wiped out. The loss is
we'll covered by insurance, and some COM
panies, notably the Mechanics of Milwau-
kee, are supposed to be very heavy losers.
Great forest fires are reported in the
vicinity of Trout Greek, and the mills of
the Trout Greek Lumber Company with
5000, 600 feet of lumber were reported in
great danger and could only be saved by a
chance in the wind.
That occurred about sundown tonight.
and light showers have fallen. Nothing
has been heard from Trout Creek since.
and it is believed the place is safe
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway transported the homeless people
to RockIand in box cars, where they were
given shelter.
The loss will aggregate several million
dollars and it is doubtful if the mills
destroyed will ever be rebuilt, as nearly
all the pine in that country has been cut.
The town has or had a system of water
works, but 1t appe ars to have become dis
abled early and was of little use in fight
ing the fire. Many of the people lost all
thev possessed by the fire.
IRONWOOD, MICH. Aug. 25.-Iron-
wood is completely surrounded by forest
fires. Many houses on the outskirts of
the city have already been damaged and
the fires are gainng ground rapidly. A
high wind is blowing and the whole CITY is
enveloped in dense smoke. The fire de-
partment and every available man are
fighting the flames, but with poor success.
No rain has fallen here for six weeks and
every thing is as dry as tinder and falls
an easy prey to the flames.

numbers of people from this city and the
neighboring country witnessed the fiesta
at San Luis Rey Mission to-day. 1t will
continue tomorrow and next day. Prac.
tically the entire Indian population is
there, including big delegations from the
reservations of San Luis Rey, Rincon and
Cuca on the river, Saboba and Aqua Cali
ente. High mass was celebrated with
great pomp in the historic old church,
which is still in fine preservation. The
Rev. Father O'Keefe, keeper of the mis-
sion was in charge and sang the mass. A
choir of Spanish young people supplied
the music.
Out in the courtyard and on the sur
rounding hills the Indians, Mexicans and
Americans joined in athletic sports. The
Mexicaus were the best vaqueros. and
broke the spirit of the impetuous bronco
with great dexterity.. The Americans ex-
celed at other athletic games and sports
which involved strength rather than activ-
ity.
The Indians were IN their element when
the dances were ordered. They hoped,
ambled, sidled and grimaced with great
satisfaction. and went through number
of legendary dances with a solemnity due
the occasion.
One or two of the old Indians were
among the converts at the mission when it
was in its glory, and they reciteo to
strangers something about the early
history of the place.
