George w. Arbuckle was brought to

terday from Pasadena. on the charge of
obtaining money by false pretenses.
An order was made yesterday by Judge
Van Dyke that the auditor draw a war;

Both George Williams and George
Bassett, having received sentences Of
twenty years each in the states prison,
the other cases against the prisoners
were ordered stricken from the calendar.
When the time for appeal has expired
they will be dismissed.
The district court was occupied in
taking testimony yesterday in the third
indictment against G. Tanaka and X.
Kanda, the two Bakersfield Japs
charged with conspiracy. The testi-
mony was not finished and the case went
over until this morning.
LIE Compte Davis, who has been having
an extended vacation at his old home in
Kentucky, returned from the east yes
terday. Rather strangely, Mr.. Davis
found after eleven years absence from
the old roof-tree that at the family re-
union no one was missing. Some of the
members came from New York and
other eastern points, and one brother
from France. but all were present, and in
the eleven years the great harvester had

A decree OF divorce was yesterday
granted by Judge York to Mary M. Tai

on the ground Of failure to provide. The
case was an aggravated one, and had II
not been that the divorce was certain
on the first count, 1t would have been
absolutely certain on the second, which
was cruelty, and of the most brutal sort.
The husband would not work and for
some years past the responsibilities OF
the home have been borne by the wife
and this although the husband Is strong
fellow and able to earn good wages as a

THE SEWERAGE CASE
A Verdict for Plaintiff With Damages
Estimated at 81

The Jury that went out in department
six on Wednesday to consider their ver-
dict in the case Of Latin against the
South Side Irrigation company, returned
q sealed verdict on Thursday morning.
Yesterday when court convened the
verdict was opened and 1t was found that
the jury had found for the plaintiff, with
damages set at 81. AS the verdict did
not carry costs 1t was practically ver-
dict for the defendant company. Tech
nically, however. 1t was for the plaintiff
and 1t is possible that counsel for the
plaintiff may now come into court and
ask that the irrigation company be COM

THE COMPTON CASE
Links in the Chain Of Evidence Being
Quickly Forged

A few new points have been introduced
by the prosecution in making their case
against Charles Compton, charged with
being concerned in the forgery Of the
deed to lot in the Daily tract, belonging
to Mr.. Green. These. however, were
merely incidental and today the evidence
directly duplicating Compton will be put
in.
It was nearly noon when the jury was
completed, the following jurors being
empaneled: e. w. Milsap, John G..
Dickson. c. I. Mcintyre. Fred H. Lowell,
Fila X. Russell. w. T. Strawbridge,
Henry B. Trimble. r. Quinn. H. N. Jer-
Wis, George Longfellow, Joshua Dean, j.
N. Harmon.
The prosecution has gained experience
by the several preliminary examina-
tions, and the previous trial Of A. E.
Davis, and consequently the evidence
was rapidly put in. During the day the
following witnesses testified: L. H.
Green. j. v. Howard, A. c. Decker, G..
Alexander, a. F. Morlan, A. p. West
and G. N. Smith.
Decker was new witness and by him
1t was shown that Compton had stated
in his presence that on a certain date he
would have some money and at the ap-
pointed time he did have the money.
That time corresponded exactly with the
time when the $1,000 was obtained from
the Columbia Savings bank. AS the
brother Of witness was close friend of
the defendant, he not only might be sup
posed to know what was going on but
Compton unburdened himself before his
friend and his brother with freedom.
Today Ware will go upon the witness
stand and 1t is his testimony that Is re-
lied upon to give force to the preliminary
facts ELECTED yesterday.

BIG ROCK CREEK
The District Will Have to Pay Up on
Labor Warrants

The decision of the supreme court in
the case of j. w. Carter, plaintiff and
respondent, vs.. L. r. Tilghman, defend
ant and appellant, in which one phase
Of the difficulties Of the Big Rock Greek
Irrigation district has been passed upon,
arrived yesterday.
The action was on appeal from a
judgment of mandate which ordered the
treasurer of the district to pay certain
warrants issued by the district, from the
funds then in the treasurer's hands
Warrants had been drawn, of which the
one in favor of George 8. Martin for $13.
for labor, on November /, 1893, is sub
stantially a sample as to form, and 1t
was charged to the expense fund. 1t
was also stated on the warrant that 1t
was payable only when there were funds
in the hands Of the treasurer applicable
therefor.
There were no funds in the treasurer's
hands to the credit Of the expense
fund.-" at the time the proceedings were
inaugurated. and for that reason ap-
pellant insisted that he, as treasurer of
the district, could not pay the warrants.
It was also claimed that the warrants
were made payable to a particular fund
that the holders, by accepting the war;
rants. agreed to look to that fund alone
for payment, and, the fund being ex-
hausted, they had no remedy.
There was no agreement" says the
court, upon the part Of the holder of
the warrant that he would look to the
expense fund for payment The fact
that the amount paid upon the warrant
is to be charged to the expense fund in
no way indicates it. Such action would
be mere matter Of bookkeeping. Upon
the contrary, the warrant expressly
states upon its face that any funds in
the hands of the treasurer applicable to
its payment may be called upon to sat
isfy it,
The court holds that as against the
holder Of warrants the board of directors
had no power to indulge in game of
hide and seek with the funds of the dis
trict: and certainly not with the funds
raised by vote of the people for certain
particular purposes. The right Of the
board to keep as many different ac-
counts as may be convenient is not de-
MED. but such a system Of bookkeeping
in no way affects the rights of creditors.
For these reasons the judgment Of the
lower court is affirmed.
