A BRUTAL SPOUSE
His Wife Wants Her Freedom and Also the
Money She Advanced


Mrs. Leo Walker is, apparently, a
money maker, and she wants a divorce
from her husband William c. Walker,
because he spends it quicker than she
can make it. Other and very potent
reasons there are, but that one is speci-
fically alleged in the complaint.
The couple were married at Ogden,
Utah, eight years ago, and since then
they have passed a rather unhappy time.
Things reached climax last year when
the wife had to endure the kickings and
beatings of her husband. In June he
blacked her eyes, and in October he
threw a heavy clock at her while she
was lying in bed. Three days later this
model husband drew a pistol on his wife
and threatened her life, and as if that
would not suffice took a razor and
threatened to carve her with that.
Mrs. Walker alleges that she has made
considerable money, in all about $40, 000
but that her husband has it ALL and
she has not been benefited. Part of it
has, however, been invested in the "Our
House" saloon, 124 North Main street,
and she is seeking while getting a di-
vorce to also get return of the money
advanced by her to her husband.
On the showing made a restraining
order was issued to prevent the Defend
ant from disposing of any money on
deposit in any of the banks. Yesterday
an application was made in department
six for modification of this order, on
the ground that the nature of defend
ants business demanded that he have
money in hand to defray current ex-
penses and meet maturing bills

AN ODD PETITION
The Natural Guardian of a Child Not His LsgaI
Guardian

1t is we'll for every pater-families to
remember that whilerejoicing with the
Psalmist that "he hath a quiver full of
them" he is not necessarily the legal
guardian of his children. This may
seem odd, but such is the law, and by
ignoring a pretty little tangle was un-
yelled in department six yesterday.
Mrs. Lena Wilson brought suit against
Henry Potter and the mythical John Doe
to quiet title to lot 4, block 19. Santa
Monica Villa lots, on the Rancho San
Vicente. Yesterday when the case was
called 1t was shown that on January A.
1876 John p Jones ct AL decided to Henry
Potter, then an infant 8 years old. the
land in question for a considerati tior
of $500. Two years later-in 1S7S-tha
father of the infant Potter, acting as his
guardian, conveyed by deed the propertv
to Mrs. Lena Wilson for a consideration
of $50. Recently attention was drawn
to the fact that at the time the deed was
made Potter, senior. was not the legal
guardian of his son, and consequent tly
the deed of conveyance was invalid.
The plaintiff yesterday was granted
five days within which to file brief. but
from his remarks it might be inferred
that Judge Clark failed to see a saving
clause He intimated that while pos
slbly suit to set the deed aside might
lie, under the guise of a quiet title emit
little could be done

THE PARKHURST CASE
Judge Smith DiIates Upon the Growing Dlsre.
gard for Law

j. E. Mcdowell, the proprietor of the
White Wings" saloon at 233 East First
street, convicted in department one of
misdemeanor in having broken the
Sunday closing ordinance, was before
Judge Smith yesterday for sentence.
When the defendant stood up for SEN
tence he presented quite debonaire
appearance, bowed quite gracefully to
the court and then stood quiescent while
Judge Smith seized the opportunity in
passing the sentence to rub it in"
You are man of intelligence" re-
marked the court, sizing the defendant
up out of the corner Of his eve, "and
an American citizen. Upon your shoul-
ders, and others like you, lies the re-
sponsibility of maintaining our laws and
free institutions. The municipality has
an ordinance prohibiting the sale of
liquors on Sunday, which you have been
convicted of breaking. The disregard of
law in this country is painfully common:
and not only in this state, but in others
as well. The only thought of offenders
seems to be not to be found out. Such
a state of things strikes at the very
root OF our government-this glaring dis
regard of law
The court then sentenced Mcdowell
to pay fine of 500, with the alterna-
tive of serving fifty days in the county
jail.

nished water from its pipe line to irri
gate these lands, and that defendant
upon demand and tender of the usua
and ordinary rates, refused to furnish
water for the years 1894, 1895 and 1896
on account whereof damages resulted
to plaintiff and her said land.
Under the decision of Merrill VS.
South Side Irrigation company, 112 Cal,
426, the duty to so furnish water under
the circumstances set forth in the COM
plaint is determined. The failure of
any person to perform a duty imposed
upon him by statute or other legal au-
thority in itself constitutes negligence.
(Siemers VS.. Eisen, 54 Cal, 41S.) If a
specific duty is imposed upon any per-
son by law, an action may be sustained
against him by any person specially in
jured. (Shearman G. Redfield on Negii-
gence. sec. 54.)
IAN action for damages, and for an
injunction to restrain further injury
thereafter to be committed on the same
property may be Joined. (Waterson VS.
Saldunbehere, 101 Cal. 107)
eff it be conceded that the comming-
ling of the two causes of action in one
count is not permissible, the remedy is
not by demurrer, but by motion to make
more definite and certain. (City Carpet
works VS.. Jones, 102 Cal, 510)
Neither do we think the complaint
or uncertain. The state
ment by plaintiff in his complaint of the
items of damages suffered. as we take
it, is merely setting forth in detail the
and results attending the
neglect of defendant to obey the statute,
and are pertinent for the purpose of
showing the permanent and valuable
use of the water which defendant is al
legged to have neglected to furnish. The
