TROUT TOBf PRESERVED
IN THE SAN ANTONIO AND SAN
GABRIEL CANYONS
CLOSE SEASON FOR ONE YEAR
It Il Claimed That Explosives Have
Been Used-Fishing in Those
Streams Misdemeanor

The attention of the board Of supervisors
was lately attracted by the Creel club and
the Bait club to the depletion of the trout
supply in the San Antonio and San Ga
briel canyons, the only trout streams in the
county. These sportsmen claimed that
the large influx of population had multi
piled the number of people who seek these
canyons for the purpose Of fishing, but
that, instead of exercising anything like
fair restraint, there had been numerous
instance Of wholesale trout slaughter by
means Of explosives, which Is a violation
of the law, and the representatives of the
genus Sus Americans had caught larger
quantities of fish than they could use, even
by means of rod and reel.
These associations represented to the
supervisors that unless stringent measurse
were taken Immediately for the further
prevention of the taking of trout, it would
be a matter of short time before the two
streams would no longer have the capacity
of rehabilitating themselves, and that 1t
would be many years before the streams
would be stocked again sufficiently to af-
ford sport or fish. In conclusion, they
asked the supervisors to declare close
season upon these streams for two years.
The board, realizing the justice of the
clubs representations, yesterday passed
an ordinance making 1t misdemeanor.
punishable by a fine of not less than $40 or
imprisonment not less than ten days, to
catch or kill brook or rainbow trout be-
tween the 18th Of the present month and
the 1st of April, 1899.

started out to secure bail of $780, but went
back into court to try and speak with JUS
tice Owens, but the latter directed Officer
Matuszkewiz to take her out Mrs Rich

Her husband claims that she said to him
in passing that the next time he had her ar

would see to 1t that she did some thing to
pay fine for. He then made a second
charge of threats against Her while she
was locked up in jail.
The point was raised yesterday that this
statement on the part of Mrs. Richards did
not constitute an offense under the statute,
and as nothing else could be shown JUS
tice Owens discharged her.
Mrs. Richards, probably firing OF re-
naming in the police station and anxious
to get east to the Omaha exposition. then
announced that she would waive her Jury
trial on the disturbing-the-peace case, so
the court set the trial of this charge for to-
day, and in the meantime she was re-
leased on bail.

his cries attracted officer Fay. The officer
interfered, as he had some apprehension
that the irate parents were giving the
child an unmerciful beating. They resent
ed any blue-coated interference and, slip
per and broomstick in hands, turned their
undivided attention on Fay. The officer
came out winner in the fight, however, and
sent them to the police station, where they
were released upon depositing $40 cash bail
each. Shortly after their departure Mas

hospital to be examined for bruises he
might have received from his parents. But
one black spot was found on his back, but,
judging from the black streaks on his face,
he was in the most perfect state of health.

WATER COMPANY WINS
Important Opinion Rendered by Judge
Wellborn

An important and exhaustive opinion
was delivered yesterday morning by Judge
Wellborn in the district court in the suit
brought by the Los Angeles City Water
company against the city of Los Angeles.
This was an action brought to have the
ordinance passed in 1897, fixing water rates
for the year beginning July, 1897, declared
invalid, on the ground that it was in con-
flict with the contract entered into in 1865
by the city on the one side and Beaudry,
Griffin and Hazard, the assignors of the
Los Angeles City Water company, on the
other. The decision was given in favor of
the water company, holding the ordinance
invalid. The opinion covered SO pages of
legal paper, typewriter, and kept Judge
Wellborn, reading as rapidly as he could
enunciate the words, an hour and a half
It was a comprehensive analysis of the
law applicable to the case and was summed
up in the following conclusions:
my conclusions are that the contract of
July %, 1868. between the city of Los An
geles and the assignors of the water COM
pany, in so far as said contract provides
that the city shall not reduce water rates
below those charged at said date, is valid,
and that the ordinance of 1897, which was
passed pursuant to constitutional and
legislative requirements of the state OF
California, does fix water rates below the
minimum so prescribed, thereby impairing
the obligations of said contract, and should
be annulled'

An Accounting Wanted

The Pasadena National bank is the de-
PENDANT in a suit on trial before Judge
York in which VIM. Lacy, jr., and r. H.
Lacy ask for an accounting. The plaintiffs
claim that on March 7. 1898, they and VIM.
Lacy, now deceased, gave to the bank three
notes for $4,000 each and delivered to it as
collateral security Is bonds of the Perris
irrigation district, worth $37 500 at par
value. and VIM. Lacy, deceased, gave also
200 shares Of the Puente Oil company's
stock, valued at $50 900 at par. In August
1895. the bank informed the plaintiffs that
there still remained $3.50 due on the notes.
They and VIM. Lacy, ST., then made a
new note for that sum. which is still I'M
paid. The plaintiffs allege that the Pasa-
dena National bank sold AZ of the Perrls
irrigation district bonds, and that the
amount received for them is largely in
excess of the amount owed not only on the
last note, but also on the three preceding
ones.

FLAG RAISING

Enjoy the Exercises

Scholars of the Sixth Street School
Enjoy the Exercises
Another American flag Is floating upon
the breeze as the result of an enthusiastic
flag raising held by the Sixth-street school
yesterday afternoon. At / o'clock the
children, each carrying small flag, gath
cred In front of the school building, facing
the entrance, which had been decorated
with the stars and stripes. Ex-Governor
j. J. Gosper, Superintendent Foshay, Di-
rectors Bartlett, Brady, Bragg and Davis
occupied seats upon the platform.
Mr.. Davis opened the exercises with a
speech, describing the significance of the
flag, saying that 1t meant protection to all
loyal upholders of the liberty which 1t rep
resented, and that American freedom gives
every man a right to del as he chooses SO
long as he does not choose to infringe upon
the rights of others.
Ex-Governor Gosper followed with some
personal "reminiscences of the civil war, in
which he served four years. ITO those of
us who have passed through the realities
of war;" he said, at means something to
hear the steady tramp of the men now on
their way to fight the Spaniards." He then
presented the new flag. on behalf of the
school, to Mr.. Bragg, as representative
Of the boarI of education, expressing the
wish that 1t might wave in triumph after
the Spaniards have been taught the lessons
of justice and mercy for which it stands
Mr.. Bragg responded with few re-
marks, and then followed a well-rendered
programme by the children. 1t consisted of
the following: Declaration, "Our Flag" by
Ethel Coleman; patriotic song by the first
grade; declaration, "Stand by the Flag"
by George mckinley; flag dialogue by pu-
pills from the fourth grade; declaration,
Emery Palus; song, by Miss Finches' third
class; flag dialogue, by Miss Freeman's
third class.
The, feature of the juvenile programme
was recitation by Master Eugene MORT
arty, who, dressed as Uncle Sam, delivered
spirited discourse on his ability to whip
the Spaniards. The audience was delighted
and the young orator was invited to occu-
py a seat upon the platform.
The exercises closed with the singing of
1.-THE Red, White and Blue" by the school
and the raising Of the flag.
