Il had a little trouble with two
women who came one day a little the
worse for liquor. I was in the operat-
ing room with a student when the two
came up The trouble that day was
with the examiner, who should not
have passed them. I saw they were
not quite right. but I thought there
would be no trouble. 1 told the stu
dent to go to work, but the woman
who was to have the tooth taken out
took a dislike to his looks and said so
forcibly l spoke to her then, and she
came for me with a big umbrella that
she carried and one of the big iron
cuspidors on the floor, and 1 had to get
away as fast as possible to another
part of the building. Women like that
do not care whether they land in the
police court or not. But such cases
are unusual.
HALLUCINATION OF PATIENTS.
Patients who take gas should be
kept very quiet. The slam of a door
or the passing of car when they are
coming from under the influence of gas
makes an impression upon them, and
in their state of half somnolence they
may become excited. One of our stu
ueUlS III bIOOhIy WIZ lCO given q
patient gas turned from her a few
moments, thinking she was all right,
and she stepped from the chair out of
a two-story window. She thought she
was going somewhere. There was an
awning below, which she fortunately
fell upon.
Il had a big man come to me once
to take gas and have a tooth out. He
took it all right and was coming out,
and l had left him to two students.
They very foolishly undertook to take
out the wedge put in to keep the
mouth open. In his state their en-
deavors seemed like a blow, and he
thought some one had hit him, and he
was ready to fight in a minute. His
fists We're within a few inches of my
head before l discovered him. I
Jumped aside and let him hit the wood
work, partition, which he went for so
furiously that he knocked it down and
frightened half to death room full
of people in the dispensary, and we
nearly had a panic.
"That girl in New Jersey who re-
Gently tried to sue a dentist for slap
ping her face was perfectly honest in
her belief that he had hit her Com
ing out from under the influence of
gas she imagined it, and would not
even believe her own mother, who had
been in the room all the time"
There is one room in the college
where people with broken jaws are
treated, and patients are frequently
sent from hospitals for the special
treatment they can receive here. Ere
quently, if man comes in who has a
badly broken jaw, he says he has been
hit by a frien" If a woman comes
in with a similar trouble, it has usually
been caused by some one more closely
connected with her. These are excep-
tional cases. The ordinary course of
the work runs smoothly, and is inter-
esting chiefly from a professional
standpoint.
The doctor who makes the first ex-
animation of the patients is an expert.
The work itself, except as it is illus
trated by the demonstration. is done by
the students, and signs to that effect
hang in all the rooms. 1t is the prac-

visits three and four times a year shows
that the work is appreciated.
The greater number of the students
are intelligent looking young men, in
terested in their work. Dentistry is
science of ever growing Importance
which needs bright men. The older stu
dents have perhaps been practicing for
years, after the meager amount of study
which was all that was required some
years ago, but with the higher standard
of to-day they come to the college to OBJ
tain their degree of D. D. 8. There are
no women students in the college,
though the tradition of the one student
who was graduated many years ago still
fingers around the place. and her pic
ture-that Of a handsome woman
hangs upon the walls.
The older women patients usually re-
ceive the pink slips, for they are the
passports to the room where measure
ments are taken for artificial teeth, and
the woman who visits it has a cast made
of her mouth, and as soon as possible
the desired teeth are forthcoming, for
remarkably reasonable sum on money.
That is, when the patient is not in too
great hurry and can wait TO have them
made. With all the latest improve
ments in dentistry, the college is not
yet able to keep the ready-made sets on
hand that the patients would so much
like to have as an accommodation.
The green slip means the extracting
room, and the patients approach that
room with a laggard step and leave 1t
with alacrity. Occasionally child goes
very cheerfully, and women are said TO
be more courageous than men.
EXPERIENCE OF THE OPERATORS.
What do you think of men who will
faint in the chair before they have been
touched?" says one of the doctors.
THE women do not do that. If
woman faints, it is after the trouble is
over, and she faints from loss of blood.
1 had funny experience in my prac-
tice the other day. A butcher came to
me with his wife, who had a tooth pulled
and he tainted away. And he was not
marketman, but a butcher from
slaughter house, and he tainted at the
sight of human blood.
AN amusing thing that occurred in
a dispensary recently was with
young foreigner who could not speak
a word of English. She had come to
pe NdcclIdleu. Inc uOclOF WHO eAdIlI-
ined her, having no vaccination slip,
took up a green dental slip and wrote
upon it the directions for the vaccina-
ton, and she was sent to the proper
place to have it done. But the at
PENDANTS, seeing the green slip, sent
her to me. / told her to sit down in the
chair, and she did so, but of course.
as she was a foreigner, I could not
understand anything she said. I told
her to open her mouth, and she did so,
and I saw a tooth which needed to
come out badly. OF course 1 supposed
that was what she had come for and
took it out. You never in your life
saw a girl so surprised.
Things go very smoothly usually,
though some people come who expect
to be put upon, and always make a
fuss. @-s.

W. Wilson. the Newsboy, Committed
for Three Years to Ione-The City
Wins in an Important Suit in the
Supreme Court-Court Notes

The friendly suit between the city Of
Los Angeles and County Auditor
Bicknell, anent certain of the funds of
the Rosedale and Vernon road districts.
came up before Judge Van Dyke yester-
day and was settled.
The entire matter lay in a nutshell.
A large portion of the Vernon and Rose
dale districts had been annexed and
added to the city, and as large amount
of money had been collected from these
districts for road purposes the city de-
manded that the proportionate amount
be handed over to the city. The total
amount of property shown on the as
sessment roll at the time when portions
Of the districts were annexed was, in the
case of Rosedale, $1,S11,220 for the an
neXed portion, and $410,570 for the part
remaining. The annexed portion of YER
non showed a valuation of $3.50, 200. and
the total value of the part not annexed
$17S555. On this basis the sum of S4435.S0
was claimed by the city in behalf of
Rosedale, and s161746 in behalf of Yer
non.
In rendering judgment for the plain
tiff In the amounts claimed it was con-
ceded by City Attorney Dunn that 5
per cent should be allowed the county
for the trouble and expense of collec-
ton.

The Law Examined With Reference to
the Execution of Contracts,

"A decision IN the case of William A.
Frick ct al, appellants, VS.. The City OF
Los Angeles, respondents, was re-
ceived from the supreme court yester-
day.
The plaintiffs claimed damages in the
action for the alleged prevention Of
performance on their part of the stipuls
tons contained in a contract between
themselves and the defendant for the
construction of a public sewer.
The court first draws attention to the
section of the code which says that the
city shall not be, and is rot, bound by
any contract. or in any way bic there
on, unless the same is made in writing
by order of the council, the draft thereof
approved by the council, and the same
ordered to be, ana be, signed by the
mayor, or some other person authorize i
thereto, in behalf of the city" The
court then proceeds: 1t is not alleged
in the complaint that the city entered
into a contract with plaintiffs express :

pieaGer set forth the proceedings taker
by the parties looking to the action Of

A WATER RIGHT.
A New Trial Granted in an Important
Ventura Case.

In the suit of Edwin Senior ct al,
plaintiffs and appellants, vs. ]. c. Ander-
son ct al, defendants and respondents. a
court yesterday.
The action was to quiet title to water
right, and was carried up from the su
perior court of Ventura county. The de-
PENDANTS had judgment, and the plain
tiffs appealed therefrom and also from
an order denying new trial.
In 1853 J. d. Hines settled upon 160
acres of public land. through which a
small mountain stream, known as San
Antonio creek, flowed, and constructed
dam and ditch, by which he diverted
from said stream about 70 inches Of
water and discharged the same upoa
land. No notice of said appropriation is
shown to have been made. and its pur
pose and the quantity of water appro-
priated can only be determined from its
subsequent use. The defendants claim
under that appropriation.
Edwin Senior, one Of the plaintiffs, I'm
1856, settled upon $50 acres of public land
below the Hines place. through which
said stream also ran, and on October 20,
1887, posted a notice claiming to appro-
pirate so inches of the water OF said
stream, measured under a four-inch
Vey the same for use upon his said land.
J. D. Hines died in 1856, and Alice Hines
obtained a patent for the land occupie
by her father during his lifetime on Oc-
tober 25, 1889, and Senior obtained pat
ent to his land October 80, 1890. The
Hines ranch was conveyed by Alice
Hines to E. S. and ". l.. Hall August q,
1883, together with the water right ap-
purtenant thereto, and on June is, 1889
the Halls conveyed the water right-but
not the land-to the OjaiNalley Water
company. The persons named as oefen-
dants are the members of an incorpor-
ated association, or partnership. com
posed of the stockholders of said corpora
ton, to which association said corpora
ton conveyed it's water right May 5
1894. The agreement by which the asso-
ciation was formed divides the interes:
acquired into 1000 shares, being the same
number of shares issued by the corpora
ton, and the said agreement fixed the
number of shares to which each member
of the association was entitled. The
corporation was thereupon dissolved.
The court exhaustively and in g
lengthy opinion examines into the sew
eral points raised. and reverses the judg-
ment and order appealed from, and
grants new trial.
