TOO MUCH. LIQUOR
Fights, Broken Bones and Insult the
Result

Liquor was at the bottom Of several
mild rows and disturbances Of the peace
in the neighborhood of Fourth and Main
streets between 10 and II o'clock last
night. At one time there was even a
show Of weapons. Several young men
who were hanging around the Gfenhurst
on Fourth street gave some trouble to
Deputy Constable Platt. who was sta
toned In the peighborhood. One of the
men began to turn out the lights and was
told not to do so by the officer. One of
them struck the officer over the eye and
another snatched his club and ran. fol-
lowed by his companions. They ran
down Fourth to Los Angeles, and north
on Los Angeles. Platt drew his gun,
but It was not used. The men are known
and will be apprehended.
Another case of too much drink was
that Of James Fanshaw, who having i'm
bibed more spirits than he could accom-
modate. was anxious to part with some
OF them to his friend BILLY" McKerwin.
A fight followed and James not being
able to see straight when he struck at
BILLY" missed his mark. but hit an iron
box instead, resulting in a fractured
bone. He was sent to the receiving hos
pital, where his hand was dressed and
he was sent home.
F. p. Winton spent his money too free
ly for whisky on Spring street. Little
red and blue devils danced In his head
until he fell in fit. He was removed to
the receiving hospital, where he was re-
lieved.
Mixed drinks got a man by the name
of Buck into sorry plight about IL
o'clock last night. He had just enough
liquor to make him foolish. He contin-
ued to gaze into the window of a millin-
cry shop where work was being done far
into the night, until he was complained
OF and given a ride to the station for
safe keeping.

FISHERS RIGHTS
Must Be Respected by sawmill
Men


SAN FRANCISCO, April S.-The su-
preme court delivered an opinion today
defining a public stream so far as the
right of taking fish is concerned.
The Truckee Lumber company has Its
saw mills on the bank of the Truckee
river, a stream that runs from Lake
Tahoe, in this state, to Pyramid lake, in
the state of Nevada w. F. Fitzgerald,
the attorney-general, asked for an in
junction against the company, alleging
that it was permitting sawdust, shaw
ings and other refuse from the mill to
fall info the river, thereby destroying
the fish. The superior court granted the
Injunction, from which the defendant
appealed, and the supreme court mas
affirmed the order.
1.-THE common right to take fish, saia
the court, extends, not alone to naViga-
bile waters, but exists as to allwaters the
lands underlying which are not in prl-
vate ownership. While the right OF
fishery upon ones own land is exclusive
ly in the riparian proprietor, this does
not imply nor carry the right TO destroy
what he does not take. he does no,
own the fish in the stream. His right
of property attaches only to those he
reduces to actual possession, and he cam
not lawfully kill or obstruct the free
passage of those taken. The mere fact,
therefore. that the interference or OBJ
struction complained of may in fact be
in stream where the right of fishery is
exclusively in private riparian owners
does not make the acts here complained
of any less an invasion of the public
right to protect its general interest in the
property"

VENTURA. April 3.--(Special Corr
respondence.) The most authentic in
formation from the DIAL gold fields ID
that many of the mine owners have con-
soltdated their mining interests, money
thus being secured to aid development.
Two miles west of Nordhoff considerable
low-grade ore has been found, assaying
S11 per ton, although a shaft is down
only three feet, we'll defined, two-foot
lead has been found. The most fatter-
ing reports, however, come from the Big
Six mine in Gridley canyon, located
about five miles northeast of Nordhoff.
and the ore from this mine Is alleged to
run from $500 to $400 per ton. But when
such men as James Cummings of the
ELIZA X mine of Cripple Creek locates
mining claims in the Ojais 1t is conclu-
sive proof that gold exists in paying
quantities in that section.
The slight rainfall of Thursday morn
ing was followed by high winds. 1t Is
now believed the late frosts have not
injured the fruit much, but early vege-
tables have suffered. The outlook Ia
very fiattering for good crops this sea-
son.
A large number of eastern visitors are
registered at the Oak Glen cottages in

led out of it's kennel during exhibition
hours, contrary to rule. A number at
once gathered about him, chiefly small
boys, some of them stroked his shaggy
back, while one pulled his tail severely.
The dog resented this, and snapped at
the nearest boy, knocking him down and
clutched his arm and side in his mas
sive mouth. The boys clothes were
badly torn and the skin on his arm and
side scratched, but his injuries are not
serious. The dog is the property of
Thomas H. Browne of San Francisco,
who values him at $40, 900.
