WILCOX BUILDING CLAIMS
Material Men Non-Suited. and Others
Gain Judgment

Several lien cases against the Wilcox
building were disposed of yesterday in
department four by Judge Van Dyke.
In the two suits, the Boston Woven Hose
and Rubber company VS.. Wilcox ct al,
and the Crane company VS.. Wilcox ct al,
the motion of the defendants for nom
suit was sustained on the ground that
the liens were not filed within thirty
days from the time of the completion of
the building, as required by law.
In the case of the ]. D. Hooker compa-
ny VS.. Wilcox ct al. judgment was given
for plaintiff for $9S6.96, and in the similar
case of the Nelson Manufacturing COM
pany judgment was given for $1S26.S0.
These suits arose out of contract
made by ]. B. Meyer & Co. to do the
plumbing in the Wilcox building. That
firm failed and the material men at
once proceeded to file their liens. The
owners of the Wilcox block held in hand
s3196 due to Meyer & Co. If the suitors
in these cases could have broken the
original contract then their claims to the
full amounts might have stood good;
but Judge Van Dyke held the contract to
be valid, and so a pro rata of the money
in hand to the credit of Meyer G. Co. was
all that could be claimed.

A WATER FIGHT
The Palomares Irrigation Co. Now
Enters Suit to Enjoin

The water suits are interminable. A
few weeks ago suit was brought against
the Palomares Irrigation Co. and others,
by certain property owners in the vicin-
ity of Pomona. to restrain them from
coming on their lands and developing
water. Now the Palomares Co. has be-
gun suit to restrain certain property
owners from interfering with the opera
tions of the company.
The Palomares Irrigation Co. alleges
that its business is that of supplying
water for irrigation and domestic pur-
poses to its stockholders. Its flow of wa
ter is sixty inches, but at present only
twenty inches is available and yet sixty
inches is necessary to irrigate the lands
set out to fruits. Under these circum-
stances the irrigation company on April
% entered upon the lands of H. H. Will
liams and four other defendants and
commenced developing for water. A
ditch was dug across the lands from a
point on the pipe line now existing and
belonging to the plaintiff company, to
which water would flow from wells upon
the lands; piping was distributed along
the ditch ready for laying, and it is in
tended, Furthermore, to bore we'll
To all this, however, defendants OBJ
ject. They won't have the irrigation
company pottering about their lands,

onto the highway, and threaten to do the
same with any one that comes around
to recommence the work.

FOUL PLAY FEARED
THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEAR
ANCE OF A YOUNG MAN
Charles Dolph Left His Home Last
February and Has Not Since
Been Heard OF

The friends of Charles Dolph, young
German about 81 years old and well
known in this city, are very uneasy over
his long continued absence. Doiph
leased a ranch at Centinela, but for
some time past has been rooming at the
corner of Bunker Hill avenue and Sec
ond street In the latter part of February
he left his lodgings and has not since
been heard from. All of his clothes are
at the house yet. and from the fact that
he took nothing away with him it is be-
lieved that he intended to return in
day or two. About ten daye ago Dolph's
friends reported the matter to the police
and since that time the detectives have
been working on the case, but have so
far found no trace of the missing man.
On Sunday night they gave up the
search and this morning a party OF
friends of Dolph will start out to look for
him. It is feared that he has met with
foul play, and the country around his
ranch will be thoroughly searched. 1t
is stated that Dolph had some enemies
near his place and some time ago his
barn was set on fire and it is feared that
some mischief has befallen him at their
hands.
Mrs. T. Miller, the lady of the house
where Dolph roomed, was seen but could
give only slight information on the cub
ject. Dolph came here from San Fran
cisco last year, and on January 1st went
to room at Mrs. Miller's house. About
three weeks before he disappeared he
received a letter from San Francisco
that seemed to cause him good deal of
anxiety. Mrs. Miller says that he was
downcast for about two weeks previous
to his disappearance.
Dolph had been talking of going to
Randsburg, but his plans came to moth
ing. On the day he disappeared he went
down town, saying that he was going for
some money. This was at 10 o'clock in
the morning, and Mrs. Miller has seen
nothing of him since that time.
That afternoon he went hurriedly into
Ben Conant's butcher shop, on the cor
ner of Main and Fifteenth streets, and
told the latter he was going out of town
but would return the next day. Outside
was a team with two men in a spring
wagon and into this Dolph jumped and
drove away.
Dolph owed some small bills in the
city. but none of any Importance, so
that can hardly be the cause Of his de-
parture. The Millers are sure he would
have sent them some word if he were
still living, for they were very friendly
with him. The letter from San Francisco
was destroyed, SO no clue can be found
| from that source. 1t is feared that he
| has met with some foul play and a most
thorough search will be made for him.

New Marriage Law

The first opinion of the new supreme
oo,,rt commissioner, General c. Chip
man of Chico, received in Los Angeles
came to hand yesterday. The OPINION
affirmed by the full court, is in the suit
of y. Yndart, plaintiff and respondent.
,,s TT r. Den. eft AL. defendants and ap-
naIlante. carried up from the superior
court of Santa Barbara.
The appeal was taken from the hnai
iudpment given in favor of the plaintin
upon foreclosure of certain four mort
cages of real estate. 1t was taken on the
ground that the clause in each OF the
notes. secured by the mortgages respec-
lively. relating to interest was illegal
and void in attempting to give penalty
for non-payment of interest, ana that
the decree was excessive and for an
amount beyond what the plaintiff wac
rightly entitled to recover.
One of the notes bore interest at 10 per
cent per annum and three bore interest
at II per cent per annum, payable IN
each case semi-annually. In each of the
notes the following provision was in
serted: "If any installment of interest
be not paid when due, the amount OF
such installment shall bear interest at
20 per cent per annum from the time the
same was due until paid; or at the op-
ton of the holder of this note, in default
of interest at the times herein provided,
the whole sum, principal and interest,"
shall be due and payable"
After citing many authorities the COM
missioner says, in commenting upon the
effect of this clause: THE code law
embraces the whole subject of interest
and must control it. There can be no
such thing as unlimited contract be-
tween lender and borrower as TO pay
ment of interest outside these code pro-
visions. The code says to the lender,
YOU may exact unlimited interest on
your loan but on the interest to be earn
ed you must keep within this limit. our
law is quite liberal to the creditor we
are reluctant to extend its liberality. We
can well see how borrower in his anX-
iety may agree to almost any terms as
to the interest on the interest, believing
he will be able to avoid the default that
may bring disaster upon him, but the
legislature seems to have anticipated
this prevalent weakness of the borrower
and has endeavored in a measure to
shield him from his impetuosity. The
legislature may also have considered
that the lender who would not part with
his money for per cent pesymonth in
terest should be content to receive per
cent upon the accommodating interest; it
may have been considered that interest
money is of no more worth than the
principal. However this may be with the
policy of the law. we can, as court have
nothing TO do.
"As the only objection to the decree is
that excessive interest was allowed. the
cause has been ordered remanded with
directions to the trial court to modify
the decree in accordance with the views
laid down in the opinion, as of the date
the judgment appealed from was entered
and when thus modified and entered,
that the decree stand affirmed"
