MANUELA'S MONEY.
A Pomona Senorita Claims to Have
Been Defrauded

An interesting case is on trial be-
fore Judge Allen. in department of the
superior court-that of Manuela Ornelas,
a fourteen-year-o Mexican girl, by
George D. Blake. her guardian ad litem
against Ygnacio A. Garcia and Frank
T. Martin. The suit is to set aside GER
tain release of $25O0 mortgage. It is
claimed that Ygracio A. Garcia, at Po-
mona. on August s, 1859, borrowed
$2500 of little Manuelas s money from her
then guardian, Angel M. Ornelas. Civ
ing his note and mortgage to secure it.
1t is claimed by the plaintiff in this
action that Angel NJ. Ornelas and Frank
j. Martin conspired to defrsud the
plaintiff and that a pretended release
of the note and mortgage was
given Frank j. Martin with
out consideration and without an
ordce of court. The plaintiff seeks
to have this release set aside for the
reasons stated
The defendant claims that he paid
full value for the release. Now the
plaintiff is having a hard time to prove
the original debt, the note and mort
gage having burned in the house of An
gel M. Ornelas about two years ago.

THE FENCE CASE ON TRIAL.
Westwood- Martin Cohorts Battling in
the Police Court.

A good portion of the time yesterday
in the police court, before Justice Nor
rison, was consumed in the hearing of
the battery charge against Belle and
Jennie Westwood. preferred by Mrs. M.
i. Martin, a neighbor. For the past sew
eral weeks the Martins and Westwoods
have been in court, first one side prefer
ring charges, then the other. The case
yesterday was taken up at the point
where it had been continued on Friday
last. and was bitterly fought by both
sides nearly all day long.
The Westwoods and Mi. and Mrs. Mar.
tin, daughter and son reside on Philadel
phia street, the properties of the differ
ent parties adjoining. The Martins
wanted the Westwoods to cut pepper
tree on the property line to let the sun
in on the Martin lawn. This was refused
and the Martins went to Chief Glass,
who told them that they had a right to
trim the tree to the line.
Mrs. Martin hired a tramp to trim the
tree, which incensed the WestwoOds,
who procured a surveyor. 1t was ascer-
tanned that the property line was really
a foot distant from where it had former
ly been supposed to be. This proceed
ing, it was claimed, transferred a foot
of the Martin lawn to the Westwoods,
and they procured workmen. who pro-
ceeded TO cut off section of the Mar
tin wood house to make 1t conform to the
new division line. tore up the fence and
hedge and commenced to erect a ten
| foot board fence.
While the fence was going up both
| families turned out in force, one trying
! to prevent the work, the other using ev-
| cry means to further it. The fence was
| built in sections in the street and put up
| amid a pretty row. the opposing parties
| pushing on either side, one endeavoring
| to pull down the structure, the other to
assist the carpenters in getting it in
place. Officers We're called in to pre-
| vent hostilities, and the matter was
! quieted the fence going up.
| Mrs. Martin was arrested on a charge
| of making threats and tried before JUS
| tce Young, who dismissed the case
| Then Mrs. Martin had two of the five
members of the Westwood family ar
rested on a charge of battery. When the
present case is concluded, there is still
another to try, that of interfering ard
trespassing on a freehold. The evidence
as given by the opposing factions and
their adherents was somewhat contra
dictory, and productive a. times of decd-
edly warm questioning The repu-
tations of the different litigants were at
tackled and defended until after 4
o'clock. when, seeing that the matter
could not be concluded, Justice Morris
on declared a recess until this mornin 6
at 10 o'clock.

SPANISH CASE FROM POMONA
A Burned Note and Mortgage Not In
Evidence
The Mail Box Smasher Gets His Desired
Sentence
Hiram Glasener Demurs to the Federal
Grand Jury Indictment-The Poor
Devil Who Broke a Mail
Box-Other Cases.

In the case of Rudel VS. Los Angeles
county, Judge Shaw. in department 5
of the superior court, yesterday gave an
opinion in favor of the plaintiff. The
plaintiff sought to prevent the de-
defendant from constructing a
ditch to divert storm water from
Rubio canyon to Eaton, claiming that
the ditch in carrying water from one
section precipitated it upon his land's
to his damage. The court holds that
the evidence in the case shows that un
der natural conditions very little, if any
water from Rubio canyon wash ever
reaches Eaton canyon wash. even in
times of flood, and that if the ditch
which the defendants are constructing
is completed the amount of water which
will be discharged from Rubio canyon
into Eaton canyon will be very materi-
ally increased. AS the water naturally
flows it spreads out and is mostly lost
in the porous soil before it reaches Ea-
ton canyon. If the ditch is made it will
be kept in a narrow channel, and sub
stantially all of it will be carried into
Eaton canyon. 1t is clear that the
major part of this increase will be car
rieG down the stream and have the eff
feet of adding a like amount to the VOL
ume of water in the Eaton canyon
wash at the point where it passes over
plaintiffs land If the water in
question is regarded as mere surface
water and not water course. then l
am of the opinion that the defendants
have no right to make any artificial
channels which will have the effect to
discharge it upon the land of the plain
tiff IN greater quantities than the land
would receive under natural conditions

have made him appear yesterday. On this

LINcoLN's LOVE T

One Of the most remarkable love
letters on record is probably that Of
Mr.. Lincoln to Mary Todd, who became.
MS wife, says the New York Adver
User. 1t is a love letter without speak
ing OF love and a proposal without
proposing. It is an ingenious compo-
sitlon and does credit to the profession
TO which Mi. Like )In belonged and
might serve as a guide to some ambi.
Tious youth who is not quite sure that
the girl he loves loves him.
my Dear Mary: You must know
that ! cannot see or think of you with
entire Indifference, and yet it may be
that you are mistaken in regard to
what my true feelings toward you are,
Il l knew you were not, / should not
trouble you with this letter. Perhaps
any other man would know enough
without further information, but 1 con
elder it my peculiar right to plead ig-
norancs and your bounden duty to
allow the plee. I went in all cases to
do right and more particularly so Ia all
cases with women. I want at this
particular time more than any thing
else to do right by you, and if / knew
it would be doing right, as / rather
suspect it would be, to let you alone I
would do it. And for the purpose of
making the matteras plain as posstblel
now say you can drop the subject, dis
miss your thoughts. is you ever had
any, from me forever, and leave this
letter unanswered without calling forth
one accusing murmur from me. And
I will even go further and say that if
it will add anything to your comfort
and peace of mind to do 80 it is my
sincere wish that you should. Do not
understand by this that I wish to cut
your acquaintance. I mean no such
thing. What I do wish is that our
further acquaintance shall depend upon
yourself. If such further acquaintance
should contribute nothing to your hap
piness I am sure it would not to mine.
II you feel yourself in any degree
bound to me I am now willing to re
lease you, provided you wish it, while
ON the other hand I ann willing and
even anxious to bind you faster if I can
be convinced that it will in any degree
add to your happiness. This, indeed,
is the whole qestion with me. Nothing
would make me more miserable than
to believe you miserable, nothing more
happy than to know you we're go. In
what I have said I think I cannot be
Misunderstood and to make myself un-
derstood is the only object Of this let
ter. If it suits you best not to answer
this, farewell. A long life and q merry
one attend you. But If you conclude
to write back speak as plainly as I do.
There can be neither harm o danger
in saying to me anything you think,
just in the manner you think it.
Your friend. LINCOLN"
