POMONA, CAL, April PA hostile
water controversy is agitating the peopls
of this city and the excitement is OF no

from developing water system on GER
tain land owned by H. H. Williams. J. ].
Henry and W. B. Bailey.
On Thursday the Palomares Irrigation
Company employed force of men to lay
pipe to well on the land, claiming the
right to do so under an old contract.
They managed to lay 200 feet of pipe and
left two men in charge to guard the works.
On Friday morning the pipe was found
piled up beside the road.
The fight became warm the neigh bors

against the company and the two oppos-

lfams and Bailey claim the undispul ed
possession of the property for eight years,
and the contest will probably remain in
the same int1ammable condition until set
tied by the court. The case is set for next
Monday.
Cooler citizens are doing what they can
to prevent bloodshed, but the opposing
parties are bitter, and the indignation OF
the neighbors of the landowners is great.

Hurd was prominent young man of

SHOOTING AFFRAY At c0LUSA.
Two Men Quarrel Over Their Merits as
Wrestiers and One is Thrice
Wounded

COLUSA, CAL, April 24-Oscar Tur-
man, son OF FL. B. Turman, one of
Colasa County's most prosperous stock
raisers, shot 1. M. Bedell in the head
three times last night at a saloon on Mar
ket street. The shooting was the result
of quarrel that started early in tho
evening over the relative merits of the
two men as wrestlers. Bedell, who had
been drinking all the afternoon and was
intoxicated, met Turman in the Recep-
ton saloon and began bis bullying tactics,
finally drawing knife. Baker, the night
bartender, asked him to put it up, Tur-
man, also joining in the request, but
Bedell ignored them both. Then Ben
Turman, brother OF Oscar, went up TO
Bedell and demanded that he put up his
knife, but BedelI pushed him to one side
and was advancing on Oscar Turman,
when the latter, who had retreated almost
to the door, drew a revolver and fired.
The first shot went wide of it's mark and
embedded itself in the frame of large
mirror back of the bar. The second struck
Bedell in the forehead and felled him to
