A FAMILY JAR
A Son Who Wants to Make Out His
Mothers Incompetency

"A most oddly incongruous application
was heard by Judge Clark yesterday
when the application of Frank Cashatt
for the appointment of a guardian for
his mother, Mrs. Eliza j. Cashatt,
came up.
The allegations set out in the petition
were startling in character. The son al
legged that his mother was So years of
age, and by reason of physical and men
tai disorder was incompetent to manage
her affairs, and was living in squalor
and want while having large and valu
able interests. These interests were set
out to be moneys in the hands of w. w.
Graham of Olathe, Kan, who had appr,-
priated them to his own use regardless
of the wants and needs of Mrs. Cashatt.
The moneys thus appropriated had
been derived from the estate of Mrs.
Cashatt's father in Ohio, and were en-
trusted to Graham to be paid over by
him to Mrs. Cashatt. For six years, the
son claimed, he had supported his
mother, and was still prepared to do SO,
but that she declined his help, aid and
support, and refused to permit him to do
anything for her. Being thus in indi-
gent circumstances and incompetent,
the son asked that a guardian be ap-
pointed.
That was the status of the case when
the petition came up for hearing yes
terday. Attorney Phillips represented
the son and the law firm of Croft 4,
Waterman appeared for Mrs. Cashatt.
The latter appeared quite bright old
lady and she gave evidence of the fact
before the case was through. The son
testified to the fact that he was the one
who had begun the proceedings to break
the will of his grandfather in Ohio, by
which his mother had come in for half OF
the property He contended that Gra-
ham was indebted to his mother to the
extent of between $4,000 and $1,000, which
he thought she ought to have, as she was
living so poorly.
A very different story was told by Mrs.
Maude Savory, sister of the petitioner
and daughter OF Mrs. Cashatt She told
how, when the family lived at Olathe,
Kan, her mother and her uncle-the w.
W. Graham referred to--hegan pro-
ceedings to contest her grandfath-
er's will, and when matters were
Strengthened out her mother'e share.
Of the estate amounted to S3OO0
As representing this amount her
mother had two mortgages one for
$500 and the other for $1000 upon which
she was receiving and s per cent inter-
est: her uncle Graham had $1,000, upon
which he was paying per cent, and her
mother owned house and lot at Olathe,
Kan. The witness stated that her
brother had been abusive to theft
mother and, far from helping to support
her, he had never contributed anything
of consequence. and one year before
leaving Kansas had not contributed one
cent On the other hand, he had de-
prived her on occasions of what little
money she had. An instance was cited

$12, 900; block F in the Freer tract, $4,000,

in Department Four
What promises to be quite lengthy
trial began yesterday in Judge Van
Dykes department. 1t Is the suit OF the
Pomona Land and Water company
aginst James Loney ct al to restrain
defendants from diverting certain
waters. The plaintiff corporation IL rep
resented by J. s. Chapman, Esq, and
the defendants by w. r. Bacon, Esq,
with whom is associated e. A. Meserve.
Esq.
The San Jose creek and Aliso stream
flow through that part Of the Rancho
San Jose known as the Palomares tract,
and the right to use nifty inches of these
waters under 6-inch pressure. when
that amount is flowing below the Palo-
mares dam. has been vested in certain
persons, some stockholders in the Old
Settlement Water company, and to
others who acquired rights to receive
water through pipes controlled by that
company, and known as the West Side
ditch, or pipe line. The right to use
water during certain days in each month
was amicably arranged so that the use
would not conflict when the water was
used on the West Side ditch. The Old
Settlement water right is owned by the
plaintiff, with. others, and it is claimed
that in September, 1895, the defendants
diverted the water of the streams below
the point of diversion of the East Side or
Miranda ditch, from the plaintiffs pipes
and wholly prevented the use by plaintiff
of the water to which he was entitled.

A Proper License

In Mondays issue of The Herald in
cidental mention was made of a mar
riage license issued to a young man
named Scherubel and a Miss Nellie
Lewis. In the article referred to, which
touched upon the validity of marriages
made either in or out of the state by a
divorced person under twelve months
from the date Of the decree, the above
marriage license was assumed to have
been issued at Santa Ana in contradic-
ton of the wishes of the young lady'e
parents, inasmuch as application had
been made and refused at Los Angeles
and also at San Bernardino. 1t appears
that this was scarcely correct, for while
the parents of Miss Lewis are both dead
she claims that her guardian accompa-
MED her to Santa Ana and gave the per-
mission required before the coveted
document could issue.

The injured men, each being slightly
wounded, explained that they and Hellman
had been drinking heavily, and they held
the accused guiltless of any intention of
hurting them. The young mans attorney
Mr. John J. Mentally, made a plea for len
fency, stating that Hellmans previous char
acter was good, that the affair had been
severe lesson for him, and that he had re-
solved to let liquor alone hereafter.
In view of those facts, Chief Justice Bing-
ham said he would impose only a fine
trusting that the defendant will hereafter
abstain from drinking.
