LAND GRANTS SETTLED
JUDGE ROSS FILES AN OPINION
ON GOVERNMENT TITLES
A Decree Will Be Issued Canceling
Patents Issued to the Southern
Pacific Railway Company

Another step was taken in the circuit
court in what has been the most important
litigation, perhaps, in the west, that of the
overlapping Atlantic and Pacific railway
land grant, by which several million of
acres of land were saved to the public. The
case settled by Judge Ross was that of the
United States VS.. the Southern Pacific
Railway company, D. o. Mills, Gerritt d.
Lansing, trustees, and the Central Trust
Company of New York.
The purpose of the bill was to quiet title
to all OF the odd numbered sections of land
in the overlapping grant referred to. The
opinion recites that the title to this land
was fully settled by the opinions of cases
in this court and in the United States su-
preme court which determined that the
| title to this land was fully settled by the
opinions of cases in this court and in the
United States supreme court which de-
termined that the company. by it's grants,
had acquired no title to any of the Sec
tions made the issue within the bounds of
the grant in question. A most important

CRUEL HUSBANDS
Mrs. Pattison Freed From Irksome
Bonds at Last

Judge Ballard of Riverside. who some
time ago tried the suit of Mary J. Patti
son against ]. H. w. Pattison for a divorce
on the ground of cruelty yesterday de-
cided the case. Mrs. Pattison is granted
her divorce and awarded life estate to
the Pattison homestead on Broadway,
north of Temple street. as well as lump
sum of $4,000 in lieu of permanent alimony.
Mrs. Pattison is a cousin of her husband,
n very refined woman and much younger
than Pattison. who had several children
by deceased wife. Two of these were
daughters, who made their stepmother' S
life miserable by abusive and vile language,
being encouraged in their reprehensible
conduct by their father. Finally the lady
could stand such an intolerable life no
longer and applied for divorce.
Mrs. Mary A. Little was given divorce
from Charles NJ. Little a boiler inspector,
by Judge York, on the ground of extreme
cruelty. The evidence showed Mr.. Little
to have been uncommonly brutal and unfit
to be husband. The custody of the minor

CONTRACTORS TROUBLES
After Building Miles of Tunnels They

Have to Sue for Their Money
Nicholas Clemens and Philip Roberts
yesterday sued the California Construction
company and the San Gabriel Power COM
pany for an accounting. The plaintiffs
took a contract for the excavation of tun-
nels, which work was to have been per.
formed by the California Construction
company for the San Gabriel Power COM
pany. for the purpose of conducting water
through a system from the river to a
place near the town of Azusa. About
1929 feet of tunnels were excavated by
plaintiffs employees during last year. Tn
der the contract between Clemens & Rob-
erts with the construction company. the
latter was TO keep an account of expendi-
lures and receipts on the tunnel work, and
the contractors were to receive 40 per
cent of the net profits Of the work at COM
pletion, 40 per cent of the bonds subscribed
by the company, and own the plant in the
same proportion when the work was COM
pleted
The plaintiffs now claim that this includ-
ed 40 per cent of the commissariat and
sutler store, the boarding of employees
and the discounts on time checks. They
say that the profits accrued from the un-
dertaking aggregate $26S0O. instead of
s42iS.T. as alleged by the California Con-
struction company, and that they are en-
titled to 40 per cent of the first sum, but
that the corporation has steadily refused
to show them its books, which are now in
San Francisco.
The plaintiffs further say that the San
Gabriel Power company still owes the
California Construction company s23 6S2. 81,
and, being fearful that the first corpora
ton will pay the other without noticing
the tunnel contractors claims, they ask
the superior court for a restraining order.

BRYANT'S CASE
An Indictment Dismissed Because the
Evidence Is Shaky

On motion of Deputy District Attorney
McComas, the indictment against E. I.
Bryant for obtaining money by false pre-
lenses was yesterday dismissed by Supe-
rior Judge Smith, the prosecuting officer
claiming that he had not sufficient evidence
at hand to safely proceed to trial.
The Indictment was presented on JanT-
airy 23 1896, and accused Bryant who is a
real estate dealer living at the Palms, of
having sold and transferred to Mrs Har-
riet Il. Hoxie a note secured by mortgage
upon two lots in the Rancho Providencia.
consisting of worthless land The sub
scriber of the note and mortgage. Mrs.

ants representations that the lots We're

circumstances, Mrs. HoXie bought the

II, 1894, after having been pointed out two
fine lots which it was alleged were rot tie
ones described in the instcument
The defendant derurred to the indict-
ment and it was set aside by Judge Smith
The district attorney office appealed to
the supreme court from the judges deci-
sion. In the meantime Mrs. Hoxie had be-
gun civil suit against Bryant to have the
trade she made with him set aside and for
the recovery of her $500 and interest
The case was tried by Judge Van Dyke
sitting without a jury. and on October o6
of last year he ordered judgment entered in
favor of Mrs. Hoxe for s6195S The court
found that Bryant's statements to the
plaintiff were false and untrue, both as to
the financial standing of Mrs. Lewis and
the value of the land and that he was
aware that they were untrue, and that they
were part of his general scheme to cheat
Mrs. Hoxie. The judge said that while
Bryant had not seen the ten acres of land
of the mortgage he had personal knowl-
edge of it's worthlessness and knew that it
was situated in a wash. The court further
stated that the evidence showed that the
defendant having learned that one Charles
Kiggens thought he knew the mortgaged
land, whereas he in fact mistook it for an
other piece of property situated mile and
half from It, hired him to get Mrs. Hoxie
to see the wrong place.
The supreme court reversed Judge Smith
on his decision setting aside the indictment
and ordered the case of the people VS.. E.
I. Bryant. for obtaining money by false
pretenses, to be tried on its merits. Con-
siderable surprise was expressed at the ac-
ton of Mr. McComas in thus dismissing a
case with which his office had apparently
taken so much trouble, the more so that
Bryant claimed that the action of the dis
trict attorney vindicates him.
When Mr.. McComas was asked for his
reasons, he said: I'VE appealed from
Judge Smiths decision because he had
held that the indictment should have
shown that the mortgagor Mrs. Lewis,
WAS insolvent at the time Bryant assigned
the mortgage TO Mrs. Hoxie. The district
attorneys office did not believe that it was

Chew Wing Cow Free

The information charging Chew Wing
Cow with the murder of Wong Wee Chez,
better known as Wong Chez, on July 27,
1896, in this city was yesterday dismissed

attorney. Chew Wing Cow was accused
Jointly with Gong On Chong of having shot
Wong Wee Chez, who was the boss of the
Chinese highbinders, out of revenge for
the murder some time before Of mer-
chant and interpreter named Lucy Suey.
The trial of Chew Wing Cow took place
in the superior court in the month of Oc-
tober following and resulted in a verdict
of murder in the first degree, with life
Imprisonment. The case was taken to the
supreme court on appeal and that body set
aside the verdict of the lower court and or
dered a new trial for Chew Wing Cow.
Most of the witnesses for the prosecution
have now scattered and TO this it is due

BOYCOTT NOT ILLEGAL
WHEN UNACCOMPANIED By
THREATS OF VIOLENCE
pELLAMoRE's SUIT DISMISSED
He Wanted $4,000 From the Master
Plumbers Association, but Gets
It Not-Judge Clark's View

In the suit of A. Dellamore VS.. the Mas
ter Plumbers association and every indl-
vidual member of 1t for $4,000 damages ana
a permanent injunction to restrain defend
ants from interfering with plaintiff S busi-
ness, Judge Clark yesterday sustained the
demurrer to the complaint. Dellamore Is
a master plumber; "the defendants, VOL
untary association, whose purpose 1t is 10
prevent all master plumbers not members
of 1t from obtaining employment or carry
ing on such business and generally to sti1e
and prevent competition says the court
In March, 1897, Dellamore took big con-
tract to do plumbing in the county jail, out
he was unable to fulfil 1t because the Mas
ter Plumbers association prevented him
from procuring the necessary material ana
labor by intimidating the merchants and
mechanics. The plaintiff demanded $500
damages for the destruction of his busi-
ness.
Judge Clark says that these facts do not
constitute cause of action, for the reason
that they allege no unlawful acts commit
ted by the defendants. While the cases
tried hitherto are not harmonious. the
weight of authority supports the rule that
to attempt to stifle and kill competition by
means of a boycott is not of itself unlaw-
full, and that associations may be lawfully
formed for the purpose of adopting meas
ures that tend to diminish the profits Of
Others
1t is nowhere alleged IN Dellamores COM
plant that the means and methods adopted
by the Master Plumbers association to
prevent him from obtaining contracts, la
Dor or material were Illegal. If the de-
PENDANTS had intimidatnl the dealers by
threats of violence or unlawful acts, doubt
less the plaintiff would have been entitled
to relief; but his legal rights were not IN
va6ed when the threats Of the association
to the merchants were that /. would with
hold it's patronage in case they sold goods
to Dellamore.
Free competition means combination,
and if it be true that workingmen may
combine with view of getting as much as
they can for their labor, just as capital
may combine with view of getting the
greatest possible return, 1t must be true
that when combined they have the same
liberty that combined capital mas to sup
port their interest by argument persua
sion and the bestowal or refusal of those
advantages which they otherwise lawfully
control.

assaulted her in a Main street lodging
house room with intent to commit rape
upon her. Mrs. Thompson claims that she

ony ever since.
Harris was arrested at the time on a
complaint sworn to by Mrs. Schooley. the
proprietress of the lodging house, who ac-
cused him of a felonious assault upon Mrs.
Thompson, but Justice Morrison dismissed
the case upon technicality with the con-
sent OF the district attorney, and no new
complaint was permitted to issue because
of certain facts which raised suspicious in
the mind of the public prosecutor.
