better authority than the star on his
breast can have no redress If the man,
upon whom he himself is assaultins
when he lays his arresting hand, fights

when anyone is caught red-handed in

A POMONA CASE
Artesian Wells That Didn't Pan Out Sc
Well


In the year 1889 big schemes were
abroad, but some came to grief. Such
one wax recited yesterday in the COM
plant filed by H. H. Williams and c. r.
Williams his wife. against the Pomona
Land and Water company ct al.
1t appears that on April Is, 1889, the
parties entered into a contract by which
the plaintiffs sold and conveyed to the
water company the right to bore and
maintain three artesian wells, in addi-
ton to the one then flowing. By slip
ulation the right was given to the COM
pany to assign the right of way to enter
at all times upon the fifteen acres of
land surrendered for the purpose stated
Other minor concessions were made and
in return the defehdent company agreed
to pay before May l, 1889, $1,000, two years
later $500. three years $500, four years
$500 and five years later $500, and also
permit the plaintiffs the use of the
cement pipe used to conduct the water
from the well already flowing.
On August 9Th of this year there was
outstanding on these payments $1197,
and to recover this amount suit has been
brought.
