ment was perfectly lucid and to the

at least Mr.. Blakeley did what seemed
to him perfectly just and proper in the
premises.
1t seems that after Ashmead was con-
victed his family were very eager that he
should still remain at the county Jail,
in order that his sisters could use their
persuasive powers for the good of his
soul. At that time there was a balance
due Mr.. Blakeley of $65, and for this
amount, as for all other sums. the father

AN ATTEMPTED MURDER
Duarte Winning Unenviable Reputa.
tion for Women Scrapes


A rather odd attempt at murder was
made at Duarte on Monday evening. A
man named I. Sesmus was busily at
work in an orchard irrigating at about
o'clock when Mrs. Erolinda, Courtney
Spanish woman, rode up on horseback
and without any words fired two shots
from the pistol she held in her hand at
Sesmus. One of these hit the man in the
small of the back and he dropped to the
ground.
The sound of the shots gave the alarm,
and Constable B.R. Davisson was speed
lily upon the spot. Sesmus was removed
to the house of his sister at Duarte,
where DR.. Wheeler made an examina-
>tion. The bullet was probed to a depth
of four inches without its being success
fully located. 1t is not thought that
Sesmus will die, but in such case it will
be altogether owing to the fact that tKe
pistol used by Mrs. Courtney must have
been small and of small caliber.
When placed under arrest by the con-
stable the woman refused to explain her
action in any way until her examina ton
before Justice Cook, which has been set
for Monday next.
Some time ago Mrs Courtney's hus-
band left Duarte. and it was whispered
at the time that Sesmus was largely re-
sponsible for the disagreement and sep
aration between husband and wife.

CLAIMING PRIOR RIGHT

Another big water suit was begun yes

Shaw and a jury. The suit in question
is that of William Bowering and others
against F. P. Adams and others, and a
vast amount Of legal talent is arrayed
in the case. F. K. Burnett represen ts
the several plaintiffs and appears rather
lonely, surrounded, as he is, by the fol-
lowing gentlemen: ]. H. Chapman and
M. L. Wicks, representing the San Jose

and c. D. Wilbur, each representing
individual defendants
The suit has been brought by certain
grantees or purchasers of the San Jose
Ranch company, near San Dimas,
against other grantees claiming prior
right to the use of certain water rights.
These plaintiff purchasers claim a prior
right to seventy-five inches Of water
which they assert was acquired by them
from the actual user of the water in liti-
cation; the defendants, as they claim.
either have not used this water at ali
or did so subsequently to use by the
plaintiff. The fact that the deeds OBJ
tanned by the several purchasers of land
did not specify the source of supply from
which they were to obtain their water
has created the difficulty. The plaintiffs
contend that by first use Of the water
they acquired prior right to the water
over and above those who rely exclu-
sively upon their deeds.

that all buyers were to share and share

A MERRY FIGHT
Innocent Land Purchasers at San
Fernando in Trouble

There are going to be lively times in
the vicinity of San Fernando and all in
consequence Of suit just begun in the
superior court by Ben F. Porter against
the San Fernando Valley Improvem en- t
company, the Los Angeles Construction
company, the Southern Pacific Railroad
company and a large number Of other
defendants.
1t appears that in May, 1887, Porter en-
tered into a contract of sale with F. c.
Howes, w. b. Barber and W. F. Barber
and George r. Crow by virtue of which
all of Porter's interest in large tract
of land at San Fernando was turn ed over
to them. Briefly put there were 10,
417.56 acres valued at about $25 per acre
and the purchase price was 1885, 439. II
was agreed that $4,000 should be paid
on signing the contract; 100000 within
ninety days; 100000 at the expiration of
the first year and the same amount at
the end of each succeeding year until the
Indebtedness had been liquidated.
The new holders sold considerable OF
the property but when the boom broke
land dealing received a setback. On
September Of this year there remained
owing on the purchase contract $257.
61343, and to recover this deficit the
present suit has been brought. Ben
Porter wants the court to determine the
amount due to him as balance on the
purchase, and falling the payment OF
this money within a reasonable time
that the defendants and all persons
claiming through them be foreclosed OF
all right to their lands ,and that the
plaintiff be re-invested with absolute
title.
It may be imagined what an unsatis-
factory position such state of things
as this puts innocent purchasers Of land
in. Even such an astute corporation as
the Southern Pacific have been let in for
some 800 feet Of track, and a station has
been built on this property to which the
corporation could hold title dependent
only on the due fulfillment Of the origina
purchase contract with Porter.
