SAN DIEG0'S WATER CASE.
Judge Ross Orders That the Action Be
Re stored to the Calendar for
Further Re1rlno.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, March %. =
United States Circuit Judge Ross handed
down an important decision here to-day
in the famous San Diego water case which
settles the question of the jurisdiction OF
the Circuit Court in the premises. The
case is that of Charles D. Lanning, re-
ceiver of the San Diego Land and Town
Company, complainant, VS.. H. C. Os-
borne ct al, and relates to exceptions
which had been filed by the complainant
in answer to an amended answer filed be-
fore by the defendants.
The plaintiff was appointed by the
United States Circuit Court for Massachu-
sets in Septem ber 1895. The holdings of
the company, in addition to certain land
In San Diego County, consisted of a water
system which had its source at the head
famous Sweetwater dam. The company
supplies water TO National City and to
surrounding lands. The point in dispute
was the right OF com plainant TO raise the
water rates. Lannlng alleged that the
rate in operation had been inadequate TO
pay the expenses of his company and in
terest on the money invested. The CON-
pany claimed the right to raise the rate
from s. 90 to 81 an acre, basIng ii on the
settled on any rate. The landowners re-
fused to pay the new rate. The receiver
then shut the water off.
Tue plaintiff asked that Osborne and
the other defendants be enjolned from
prosecuting him in the State courts, and
that they be required 10 set up their
claims in the Circuit Court; that he have
the right to increase the water rate. and
that the defendants be required to pay it.
To this the defendants filed answer
claiming that the complainant was legally
bound to supply them with water at So 90
an acre for all time.
Judge Ross holds that the United States
Circuit Court has jurisdiction. The Judge
orders that the case be restored to the
calendar for further hearing in respect to
the effect upon its merits of an act OF the
Legislature passed at this session relating
10 the establishment and raising of water
rates.

PETALUMA, CAL, March 22.-At the
time of the discovery of the fire in the
Courier Office the attention of the officers
was attracted by the suspicious actions of
two boys-Roy Parks, age ,15, and Stuart
Griggs, 16 years, both of respectable par
entage and both former employees of the
Courier office: On being accused. young
Parks confessed to having started the fire
and implicated Grlggs. Mr.. Ravenscroft,
proprietor of the Courier, swore out war
rant and Parks was placed under bonds of
$500 and Griggs $1,000, which they have
been unable to obtain.
These boys are now supposed to have
been the ones who destroyed property at
one of the schools and endeavored to burn
the building. Too much yellow-cover lit
erature is the cause OF their degeneracy.
