will favor the idea, but whether there Will
be protest from enough of the property
owners to make 1t impracticable remains
to be seen. The true solution of the whole
| problem is thought by constantly increas-
ing number of property owners to lie in the
bonding of the city for a complete system
that shall cover the whole municipality.
There are parts of the city that are badly
in need of it, and in all neghborhoods
where the lack of it is not now felt 1t is
only question of short time until the
need of such system will be brought home
to all. OF course, if steps are taken to
sewer the whole city these other projects
will be dropped.
CASES IN COURT
Charles Harris, the employee of Baldwins
ranch who shot fellow laborer named
Joseph Reed last week at the ranch, was
brought up from Los Angeles today, his
examination having been set for 10 o'clock
this morning in Justice Rossiter's court.
The examination was, however, postponed
at the request of the district attorney
until Saturday morning at the same hour.
Harris was arraigned this afternoon and
bail fixed at $1,000, which he was unable to
procure. Constable Slater took him back
to the county jail this afternoon. The
condition of Reed, the man who was shot
in the neck by Harris, is reported some
what improved, but he is not yet out of
danger. The ball has not yet been located
nor any attempt made to extract It..
Justice Rossiter had another case this
morning, though it was one of small di-
mansions, both in the size of the offense and
of the offenders. Two small boys. whose
names Will not be given, as this Is their
first offense, so far as known were charged
with stealing pair of rose clippers from
the stevens Hardware company, which
they sold to a secondhand dealer for 25
cents, although the value was 80 cents
They divided the spoils by each taking a
dime and then cooling their fevered and
apprehensive brows by means of milk
shake purchased with the remaining nickel
which they divided between them. The
case was taken under advisement by JUS
tce Rosster.
