ALMOST SCALPED
An Acton Farmer Has a Peculiar Ac-
cideut

d. P. Roberts, farmer living at Ac-
ton, was treated in the receiving hos
pital yesterday for peculiar accident.
In a runaway Tuesday he was thrown
from his wagon and struck with his
head upon a sharp-pointed rock in such
a manner that a cash was cut seven
inches long and one side of his Uranium
literally scalped The sufferer went to
retired physician at Acton to have his
wound dressed, but as the doctor had no
instruments, all he could do was to tie
a towel about the head and advised him
to get to a competent physician as soon
as possible.
Roberts arrived here at o'clock yes
terday morning on a Southern Pacific
train. At the receiving hospital his head
presented a frightful appearance when
the cloth in which it was bound was re-
moved. DR.. Hagan called DR.. Mathis to
his assistance. The patient was put
under the influence of ether and care
full examination failed to reveal anv
signs of fracture in the skull. Thirteen
stitches were necessary to close the gap
ing wound. Last evening the patient
was resting easily.

SAN DIEGO WATER RATES
Again to the Fore-Bill in Equity
Filed

The latest move in the matter OF
water rates in San Diego county was
made yesterday, when the San Diego
Land and Town company filed bill in
equity in the circuit court against the
board of supervisors of San Diego coun-
ty and thirty-five "als."
Plaintiff company prays that the rates
Fixed by the said board of supervisors
1. e., $3.50 an acre per annum for irrigat-
ing, be declared illegal and void and be
set aside. and the rate fixed at 81 per
annum. The complaint claims that if
this is not done the plaintiff company
will lose money continuously.
1t is alleged that the total receipts of
the company at the present rate are $685.
900 per annum; whereas, the annual run
ming expenses, so it is claimed, are 500,
900. and the depreciation by repairs, ETC.,
amounts to $45,0O0 more per annum.
The claim is made that plaintiff COM
pany must realize 100000 year to pay
expenses and receive adequate interest
on money invested.
The various moves in this matter pre-
viously have been productive of va
riety Of results that are well known
and now this latest is to determine once
more. and in still another way, whethe,
or not the present rate of $3.50 will con.
tinue to obtain.

EBELL RECEPTION
In Celebration of the Third Charter
Day Anniversary


The third anniversary of charter day
was celebrated by the Ebell society yes
terday afternoon with a reception IN
it's cosy club house on South Broadway.
The attendance was large and fashion,
able. Daylight was excluded from the
entire house and myriads of incan-
descent burners shed a brilliant light
over the beautiful decorations and hand
some toilets of hostesses and guests.
Great clusters of crimson, yellow and
white crysanthemums, roses and cos
mos in jars and vases about the rooms
made effective CLEANS of color against
a background of potted palms, ferns
and other plants; punches of feathery
bamboo, striped ribbon grass and papy-
rus. festooned ropes of smllaX ana
sprays of English ivy, all arranged with
most artistic effect.
z In the small section room on the north
side of the entrance corridor the re-
ception committee was stationed, COM
posed of Mrs P. C. Baker, president OF
the club, and Mines. Fl. w. r. Strong,
Lewis w. Blinn. Thomas D. Stimson and
John S. Vosburg.
In a corresponding room on the south
side of the corridor string orchestra
was stationed, and the musicians were
partially concealed by netting draped
across the doorway and dotted with
handsome yellow chrysanthemums The
decorations were all done under the
committee made up of Mines. Sumner p.

men in charge.
The names of the prisoners are James
Wilson. John Martinez. Harry Pease,
Charles Hall, Dan Smith and Joe Will
son. 1t should be said, in justice to
Lopez and Judy, that they are not
afraid to bring several prisoners at one
time and that no complaints are being
made that they hold out prisoners and
run them in singly, so as to make more
mileage fees. There are some other
constables near Los Angeles, however,
who seem to be afraid that if they
brought more than one man at time
the Jail officials would die of heart dis
ease. Probably this would happen if the
whole constabulary should change the
custom too suddenly.

Where Court Process May
Not Enter
EVEN JUDGMENTS P0WERLESS
JUDGE VAN DYKES OPINION AS
TO HOMESTEADs
Constables Bring in Several Prisoners
at One Time-News of the Courts.
New Suits sFiled-Calendar

Judge Van Dyke rendered a decision
in the case of J. M. Campan VS.. J. M.
Molle and Jennie Molle, his wife, yester-
day, in which he sustained demurrer
to the complaint without leave to amend.
By this action the court has made it
impossible for Campan to proceed fur
ther without appealing.
Campan loaned the Molles $3.50 to as
sist them in purchasing a lot, and they
gave their promissory note for the
money. They afterwards obtained legal
title to the property, and refused to
mortgage it to Campan for the money
loaned by him. Campan brought suit
on the note and recovered judgment
on March 30, 1897. On January Is, 1897,
the defendants filed a declaration of
homestead on the lot, and the plaintiff
sought to have this homestead declara-
tion Cancelled and the property applied
toward the payment of his judgment,
alleging fraud.
The declaration was filed before the
judgment was secured by Campan, and
the court, citing Fitzell VS.. Leaky az
Cal, 4S3), said: 1.-THE very purpose OF
the homestead law is to give to one lex
cept as against an Indebtedness already
0erged in a judgment, and as against
a judgment of peculiar character sub
sequently entered) the right to preserve
and protect homestead from forced
sale. 1t is not invalid because made dur
ing the progress of litigation which sub
sequently results in an ordinary money
judgment against the homesteader, or
because made at any time before the
entry and docketing of such a judgment.
The law authorizes debtor to erect
a barrier around the home, over which
the sheriff, although armed with final
papers under such judgment, cannot
pass. The doctrine bearing upon con-
veyances made to hinder, delay or de-
fraud creditors has no application to
the creation of homestead
"A judgment obtained after a decla-
ration of hopestead, unless secured by
a mortgage, or mechanics, laborers or
lien, cannot be enforced against
the homestead, even although an at
tachment was levied upon the premises
before the filing of the declaration

Court Notes


Yesterday in the circuit court in the
case of the London and San Francisco
bank VS.. the Willamette Steam Mill
laundering and Manufacturing COM
pany, the report of Charles H. Carey.
ancllary referee, was heard and sub
mitted.
Judge Allen yesterday decided the
S5236 damage case of Leno Weiss VS.. ]. P.
Goytino and Hortense Goytino, his wife
in favor of the defendant, on the ground
that the evidence showed that, while the
defendants had owned the English mas
tiff which bit the plaintiff, they haG
given it to a friend in the country, and
when it returned, on several occasions,
either sent it back or drove it away
In Judge Smiths court yesterday were
arraigned r. A. Bird, charged with forg
ing the signature of G. ]. Griffith on a
check on the First National bank for
5000, August 10Th; Ralph Lowell, charged
with entering the house of M. T. Will
iiams, on October Sth; Thomas Clark
and E. Childs. charged with entering the
house of w. B. Shaw on the 30th of last
month. The 2Sth inst. was set for Bird
to plead and the 30th inst. for Lowell
Clark and Childs.
A demurrer to the complaint in the
case of A. Thayer ct al. VS.. J. H.
HiXon, brought to recover damages for
the death of Manley A. Thayer, who was
employed by defendant, and was killed
by the explosion of a steam mangle in
defendants laundry, was sustained by
Judge Allen yesterday. The court held
that the complaint was defective, in that
| it did not show whether or not the de-
| fendant had provided suitable and safe
machinery in the laundry, or had been
guilty of any negligence in the matter.
Judge Allen ordered a judgment yes
terday in favor of the defendant in the
case of A. P. Anderson VS.. Louise Stoll
ct al, in which the plaintiff sought to en-
| force mechanics lien for repairs to the
| building at 1872 North Main street. The
court found that the repairs were made
at the instance of Mead & Wright, who
leased the building from Mrs. Stoll, and
that she knew nothing of the repairs un-
til the lien was filed. 1t was held by
the court that as the lien was filed more
than thirty days after the completion of
the work, Ito require the owner of a
building to post a notice that he will not
be responsible for any repairs, long af-
ter such repairs have been made, would
seem to me to be an idle performance"
