The City Was Right

The supreme court has affirmed the
judgment of the superior court in the
case of the City of Los Angeles, plain
tiff and respondent, VS.. Leavis ct al. 1t
was a suit to condemn land for public
street, but the city had neglected to take
the steps and processes prescribed by
law for the opening, widening, ETC., of
public streets in municipalities. The
contention of the defendants was that
the city had no power to maintain an
action in the superior court against
them, because it had not resorted to the
preliminary steps provided in the stat
utes. The supreme court did not agree
with the theory of the defense, but held
that, under certain sections of the code
of civil procedure, any public or private
corporation or any natural person may
for the uses defined in section 1928 of the
same code acquire property without the
consent of the owner by means of the
proceedings described in that code.

FULL OF FIGHT
George Barnett Tries to Persuade
Judge Smith That He Is Wrong


The irrepressible George Barnett has
been at it again. Judging from his
actions he must have ruminated over
Judge Smiths modification of the de-
cree granting his wife a divorce from
him and ordering him to refrain from
approaching her or the children.
Yesterday Barnett appeared in court
with his attorneys in order that the
court might be prevailed upon to be-
lieve that in making the previous order
it had exceeded its jurisdiction. But the
argument along that line did not move
Judge Smith worth cent; 1t only made
him mad and he gave Barnett verbal
castigation that ought to suffice for
time.
This fellow has followed me about,
Indignantly said the court, 'and on the
streets has lost no opportunity to annoy
by staring at me and casting threaten
ing glances. 1 understand, too, that
he has pestered other of the judges In
like manner and this after Judge Shaw
on one occasion had him in Jail for con-

children from his outrageous conduct.

he will have to settle with this court,
and that in q very severe manner"
Barnett was, however. not to be sub
dued in such short order, and he sprang
to his feet to have his back-say to the
court. Before he could open his lips his
attorney snapped out the not too polite
request to shut up" and he subsided.
But he was loath to do it, and swallow
ing his ire as best he could he marched
out of the court room. The case comes
up again on Thursday morning.

DAVIS TRIAL CONTINUED
The Main Evidence of the Defense to
De Put in This Morning

When the trial of A. E. Davis on thr
forgery charge was resumed yesterday
morning the prosecution speedily closed
it's case. The cross examination of Ware
was concluded and after the forged deed
to L. H. Green's lot in the DAILY tract had
been identified by one of the bank Of
ficials the prosecution announced its
case as closed.
B. 1. Oliver, defending counsel, there
upon moved the court to dismiss the
case, basing his motion on the ground
that the testimony of the witness Ware
was all that the prosecution depended
upon to obtain conviction, and Ware
being a self-confessed accomplice, more
valid and cOrroborative testimony wa;
required under the law.
The motion was denied and Mr.. Oliver
proceeded to read several dispositions
as to the defendants character. That
being done the case was adjourned until
this morning, in order that the defense
might have time to procure other dcpo-
sitions of more important character.

CHAPTER ON SHEEP
Supreme Court Decision That Will In
terest California Raisers

In the four cases of Inyo county
against Basque sheep owners named
respectively Erro, Higoa, linda and Err
reca, the supreme court has affirmed
the judgment of the superior court of
that county, from which the defendant
had appealed.
The sheep men had denied the validity
Of an ordinance of the supervisors of
Inyo requiring them to procure a license
for raising, grazing, herding or pastur-
ing sheep in the county. They also
claimed that the ordinance did not ap-
ply to them because they only used
Inyo as thoroughfare in driving their
sheep in the spring from Kern county
to Mono. 1t consumed about three
weeks, over distance of 140 miles, al!
upon government land to drive the
sheep through to the Mono county line,
proceeding exceedingly disliked by the
herders, as the land traversed is poor
and not grazing land, but unavoidable
because there is no other road through
the Sierras.
Inyo county, on the contrary, con-
tended that the sheep came into it from
the Mojave desert much weakened and
reduced, but that they improved ma
terially in condition while within the

WATER CoMPANY's TAXES
The Taxation of Lease and Franchise
Declared to Be Illegal

The Los Angeles City Water company
has filed it's petition in the superior court
for writ of mandate to issue directing
]. H. Gish, the city tax collector, to ac-
cept the sum Of $1O,006.30, being the
amount of taxes due by the company
upon all of it's property save it's lease and
franchise; failing to do so. that he appear
in court and show cause why he has
not done so. The water company also
makes demand for $1,000 as damages and
costs.
1t is alleged that in assessing the COM
pany's property the different kinds of
property We're segregated and value
put upon each. One of these was the
lease and franchise of the company,
which was valued at $15000O. 1t is con-
tended by the plaintiff that to tax such
property is illegal, and as such action
is claimed to be taken under the state
constitution. adopted in 1879, it is an
attempt to give authority to impose ad-
ditional burdens. in violation of the
United States constitution, in that it
impairs the obligations of contract.

confines Of the county and there are
hundreds of thousands of acres of sheep
pasture in the county.
1t was held by the trial court that the
defendants were engaged in the busi-
ness enumerated in the ordinance of the
board of supervisors and that the license
tax could not be evaded by a mere pre-
tense of driving sheep through county
for an alleged temporary purpose, when
the real object was to pasture the ami
mails in it. The supreme court under
the evidence presented did not care to
disturb the judgment.
