ANOTHER WATER FIGHT
The City After the West Los Angeles
Water Co. for Diverting Water

The city of Los Angeles has vet an

this time against the West Los Angeles
Water company.
In tbs suit begun yesterday it is set

ing the plaza, and it became vested with
the sole and exclusive right to, and alb
solute ownership of, all the water of
the Los Angeles river, whether flowing
above or beneath the bed of the river
and these rights in perpetuity.
Up to the incorporation of the city
in 1850 all the water was used for irri-
eating the four square leagues and for
municipal purposes. in 1866 the United
states government issued patent to
the four square leagues, and that for
ever confirmed the claim of the city,
as 1t now stands. 1t is alleged that to-
day the city has territory of over SO

A BAKERY FIGHT
Selling Out Business and Then TAX
ing It Gradually Back

There was small fight over a bakery
yesterday in department six before
Judge Allen. 1t appeared that nearly
a year ago A. Bonacina bought out the
business of one D. F. Dominick, at San
ia Monica. He paid $500 for the stock
and fixtures in the bakery store, and
another $500 for the good will. At the
same time it was stipulated that Dom
mick should not for one year from date
engage in the same business, and upon
this basis the trade was made.
But within the time stipulated an
other bakery store was opened and
Dominick began driving the delivery
wagon for the new firm. He gradually
took his old customers away from Bo-
nacina and the latter instituted suit
for breach of contract.
There was a strong suspicion that
Dominick uot only drove the delivery
wagon for the new concern, but had
an interest in the business, but this
could not be shown, and the jury re-
turned verdict for defendant.

A SLICK MmL1NER
A Local Tradeswoman Who Knew
How to Manipulate Matters

A Local Tradeswoman Who Knew
How to Manipulate Matters
The affairs Of Miss Agnes May Jordan,
who carried on a millinery business al
S1S South Spring street. are very much
tangled UP. Yesterday William r. Smith
filed suit against D. r. Fisk & Co., May
A. Jordan and Sheriff Burr, and the story
told is rather interesting.
1t is alleged that on October "a Miss
Jordan was indebted to Smith for mill
linery goods to the extent Of $2S53. 20, and
to Fisk & Co. $1155. On that date almost
the entire stock in the store was from
these two firms, but Notwithstanding
Miss Jordan made and delivered to Sa-
rah M. Oliver bill Of sale of the stock.
fixtures, ETC., for the purpose, 1t Is claim
ed, OF defrauding Smith and Fisk & Co.
On October 9Th she telegraphed to Smith
asking him to attach her stock and fix
lures in order to protect himself. and at
once he instructed Mulford & Pollard to
protect his interests. Then 1t was learn
ed that an attachment could not be levs
led as the bill of sale barred such a step
being taken. On the 9Th instant Miss
Jordan again wired.to Smith telling him
him that his attorneys refused to attach.
and advising that he retain another at
torney. as the firm he had was acting
contrary to her interests in not attach
ing. Smith had confidence in his attor-
neys and refused to accede to Miss Jor-
dams wishes.
A rev days later, however, Smith,
through his attorneys, began suit against
MISS Jordan and levied against certain
piece of real estate owned by her. This
was not calculated to please the lady.
and so she. in order to give Fisk & Co.
the advantage over Smith, as it is claim
ed, persuaded Fisk & Co. to institute an
action to recover s1155 and in that suit
writ of attachment issued and the
sherif levied on the stock and fixtures
MISS Jordan wrote what purported to be
confession of Judgment in favor Of
FISK d Co., and judgment was given in
1avor OF that firm for the amount claim
ed, with interest, costs, etc., and execu.
tion issued.
Inc next move was taken on October
10th. when Miss Jordan filed a home
stead on her piece of real estate, which
had been attached by Smith. At later
date Smith got judgment against his
debtor for s2S53.29, but there is nothing
save the piece of real estate to levy on.
and that won't satisfy the Judgment
even should the claim of homestead be
set aside. The plaintiff claims the whole
anair was one of fraudulent collusion on
the part of Miss Jordan and Fisk & Co.
and asks that the judicial proceedings
DE set aside and a new deal made in
"nlch he may have some chance for
recovery.
