sarily have to be pumped up grade at least
100 feet. Very few citizens express the
belief that water in any large quantity will
be secured, but on the other hand, that
it will cost more than it is worth. Mon
rovia needs at least 100 inches more water,
and she is going TO get it; but the sooner
the dabbling process of obtaining it is done
away with. the better for all concerned
For four years tunnels have been run into
the hills, wells have been sunk, and all
without success. In fact, there is less water
now than before the tunnels were COM
pleted. There has beer too much fooling
with water witches and not enough good
common horse sense used. Thousands of
dollars of the peoples money has been
spent, all TO no purpose. 1t Is time that
a bargain be made for water already in

.'Ah, Lee" said the general, not at all
ruff!ed, you are funny fellow. See,

That there was a suspicion of truth
in Lees implied accusation of closeness
at a bargain is borne out by the we'll
known fact that Washington was one

RIVERSIDE

RIVERSIDE, Aug. 2S.-Regular Core
spondence.) This morning NJ f. Allen, a
rancher down the valley, attacked William
Porter with Il hand AK and the young man
defended himself with revolver, at least
Allen struck Porter on the hip with the
ak and Porter fired one shot at Allen
and then they both ran or called it a stand
off. This afternoon both were in court on
cross complaints of assault with deadly
weapon. Aliens examination was pro-
ceedng when his attorney moved to dis
miss on the ground of invalidity of the
complaint, which had been sworn to by de-
fendant's wife.
Back of all this is a sad story of domestic
infeicity. The couple We're married year
ago last July. 1t is said that Aliens chief
attraction was a small fortune he was
supposed to possess and life insurance
policy for $1,000, with a one-lung accom-
paniment. These perquisites did not mate
rialize, and, as Mrs. Allen says. ALLEN did
not have but $50 the day he married me"
Mrs Allen has other grievances against her
liege lord. She is described as of loving
and confidng sort--a cingng vine. as it
were-and it was naturally very dispirit-
ing for her to find her husband without the
divine passion.
Two or three days ago Mrs. Allen began
suit to obtain a divorce from Allen, and
since that time he has resided elsewhere
He did not propose to have the old lady
get the better of him, however, for he sold
a ball-bearing phaeton and wagon claimed
by Mrs Allen and also made some dickers
in hay and things, which are claimed as
community property. Allen and his wife
are accustomed to get together once or
twice day and say cruel things to each
other, and make uncompimentary allu-
sions to sundry and miscellaneous weak
nesses that each is supposed TO possess
