Swendling Concerns.

1t is estimated that the swindling
concern of E. S. Dean & Co., alleged
stock brokers, stole about two mil
lion of dollars and nearly two-thirds
of it came from the Delaware PENN
sula. They operated in Kent and Sus-
sex county, but more extensively in
the latter. The safest plan is to keep
your money and give the cold shoulder
to men who offer to secure you from
twelve to twenty per cent interest.

ROUND VALLEY
RANCHER SLAIN
Shot by a Neighbor With
Whom He Was at
Enmity.
They Meet on a Lonely Mountain
Road and the Quicker Man
Survives.
Tragic Ending CT a Quarrel Over
Grazing Rights On Public
Lands.

UKIAH, CAL, Jan. 16.-Another killing
aas been added to the grewsome record Of
Round Valley, the dark and bloody
ground" of California. On lonely noun
tain road near Covelo John Kenny was
shot and killed by jeremiah NJ. Hulett,
neighborlng rancher. The tragedy oc-
Cured on Tuesday evening, but the Sher-
ifs office here was not notified until late
last night The two men had been at en-
mity, and the news that one of them sue
ceeded in ending the career of the other
has caused little surprise IN Round Val
lev, where such tinales are looked upon as
a matter OF course. Because of the known
hatred of the one for the other the state
ment OF Hulett that he met Kenny on the
mountain side and the quicker man came
away alive finds ready belief. Justice Joel
Erland OF Round Valley Township, who Is
acting Coroner OF this county, left for the
scene of the killing Wednesday evening,
but has not yet returned.
Kenny and Hulett owned adjoining
ranches twenty miles east of Covelo, on
the divide between Mendocino County on
the west and Tehama and CoIusa counties
on the east. Both had stock running on
uusurveyed Government lands, and it is
supposed that out OF d differences as to their
respective rights TO run stock on certain
tracts the trouble occurred. Kenny was q
comparative newcomer in that part of the
country, and since his arrival there it is
said the two men had been at swords
points. On last election day their differ
ences apparently reached climax when
HuIettt challenged the right of Kenny to
vote at a certain precinct. Hot words and
blows followed, and but tor the interven-
ton of friends of the com batants blood
would have been shed. On that occasion
the two men were pacifed and no more
was thought OF the quarrel.
While Hulett, accompanied by mis- son,
was riding to town on Tuesday evening
he met Kenny on the road. Kenny car
ried Winchester across his saddle, while
Hulett had a sx-shooter in his holster.
As soon as the men met the occurrence
of election day was again brought up and
the quarrel renewed. According to the
claim OF Hulett and MS son, Kenny, after
considerable heated discussion, drew his
riff. Hulett was too quick for him and
like fash he drew his pistol from its
holster and fired at Kenny. The latter
fell from his saddle and was dead before
he touched the ground.
After the shooting Hulett rode with all
possible haste to Round Valley and there
>.elivered himself up to the authorities
The following morning acting Coroner
Erland left for the scene. His return is
anxiously awaited.
Both Kenny anG Hulett were always
looked upon as !awabiding citizens. HUI
lett has but one eye, but is said to be one
of the finest pistol shots in that part of
the country. The dead man was about 35
years of age and lived alone on ranch.
Hulett is man OF family, having wife
and several children.

SAN DIEGO WATER RATES.
Judge Torrance 0verruies the Demurrer
of the Land and Town Company
in the Ward Case.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Jan. 16.-The case of
Ella B. Ward VS.. The San Diego Land and
Town Company came up before Judge
Torrance, OF the Superior Court to-day.
The plaintiff alleged that the company
sought 10 double charge for water rental
under the Sweeuwater system from So so
to 81 per acre. The defendant demurred
to the complaint
Judge Torrance overruled the demurrer,
holding that the So so water rate under
the company's system was the actual rate
established and collected, which, under
section OF the act of 1885, should be
deemed the accepted legally established
rate. Doubling the water rate was unau-
thorized. On the subject of the power of
the water company to make contracts
with consumers Judge Torrance saw moth
ing in the constitution or statutes to pro-
hibit it, whether made before or after the
Supervisors had fixed rates.
The decision is directly opposed to the
famous decision of United States District
Judge Ross some months ago, which was
