upon the Colima tract, and ditch convey
Ing water to his property sufficient to ir-
rigate fifty-five acres.
In March, 1891. the Blands sold the de-
fendant eighty acres of this land, expressly
reserving the right of entering the prem
ises, damming the water of the ravine and
carrying 1t away by means of bitches or
otherwise. In the beginning of the irri-
eating season of 1894 the plaintiffs allege
Meyer diverted and appropriated all OF
their water and plowed up their bitches,
in consequence of which their seven-acre
orchard and ten-acre vineyard sunered
very severely and they were unable to raise
a crop upon the balance of the thirty-acre
lot. Since then, the Blands say, they nave
never had the use of the water which they
had expressly reserved for themselves.
Beside the $4,000 damages they ask for de-
cree of the court awarding them the use
of ten inches of water for three days each
week during the irrigating season.
A number of witnesses for the plaintin
were examined by l.. H. Valentine, attor-
Eey for the Blands, to show that they had
the rights to which they lay claim ever
since the Oldest inhabitant can remember
The defense of Marius Meyer will be that
he is the sole and exclusive owner OF the
water that flows from the dam and that
the plaintiffs have no rights to 1t at all and
are consequently entitled to no damages
at all. General Johnstone Jones and L. u.
Reymert are his attorneys.

FALKENsTRoM's DEMAND
He Would Like to Get $40, 900 From
the Los Angeles Railway Co.

G.. s. Falkenstrom a clerk, made try
Yesterday to have the Los Angeles Kali
way company give him up $4,000 worth OF
its hard earned nickels In Department
four of the superior court.
On the 18th day of June last, FaiKen-
strom was a passenger on an electric car,
he told the court. and rendered nickel to
the conductor. Writ S. McCloy. who in
stead of ringing his register. refused the
money and threw him bodily from the
car there by causing him bodily pain and
mental agony. The reason of Mr.. McCloy' S
extraordinary conduct was explained by
Falkenstrom in this wise. He said that
he had already paid his fare once when the
conductor held him up for another. The
plaintiff wouldn't have it that way, but
when he saw that McCloy's dander was
up he offered him a second nickel as mat
ter of prudence. but 1t was then too late
McCloy was mad and Falkenstrom had to
go in a hurry.
The conductor denied positively that Fal-
kenstrom had paid his fare first time,
He said however. that the plaintiff offered
him $50 piece. He could not make change.
A discussion ensued in which several par
ties took part McCloy told the plaintiff
to pay or get off. The plaintiff got off but
hung on behind. The conductor removed
Falkenstrom's hand and the car then pro-
ceeded while the plaintiff remained behind
"cussing."
The case was not concluded when court
adjourned.

The Coast Defenses

One half of the number of improved cam

located and placed in suitable position ere
the expiration of 1898. The Artillery Board
is constantly making practical surveys. so
far as these relate to the army and the
establishment of adequate military pro-
lection of our sea board, frequently urged
upon the government by the chambers of
commerce of our maritime cities, is re-
ceving a strong reinforcement from this
source. Meanwhile there is a means of de-
fense from greater physical calamity
which no one afflicted with nervousness
or dyspepsia should neglect and that is
the use of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which by restoring the tone of the nerves
and stomach invigorates the entire sys-
TEN. 1t also remedies and prevents ma
larial. kidney and rheumatic ailments, and
cures biliousness and constipation. 1t is a
capital appetizer, and promotes sound re-
pose. Those who have been cured by it
speak in no uncertain tones as to the eff
fectiveness of this celebrated medicine in
disease and as medicinal stimuant.

GOOD GOODS, WE'LL ADVERTISED

Going the rounds of the press Is an item stating that the Royal Baking Powder Co. is the largest advertiser in America. Of course the business itself must be an enormous one to justify 80 great an expenditure In publicity. There is no fallacy more dangerous than that success can he gained by advertising an arti. cle of indifferent merit. But, given an article Of the highest quality li' Royal Baking Pow der, which when the hOusekeeper has once used she finds if she deslres the est food she cannot do without, then the greatest measure oi success is attained by keeping it continu- ally before the public.

Editorial Notes.

Uncle Sam Is about to try an experi- ment in rural free mail delivery which may revolutionize postal arrangements lines the plan talked of, as follows
 Some time ago resident of Westmin- ster, Md, wrote to the department offer ing to build such 8 Postoffice, to be drawn by two horse and to establish a system between Westminster and the surrounding villages, covering distance of 30 miles, for $l 1875 year. The plan was accepted to-day. The wagon will be similar to the Postof1ce wagons in use in the cities. The postman will start from Westminster in the morning and visit number of small towns in the vicinity, collecting and delivering mail en route. Any farmer living within two miles of the road along which the wagon passes will be allowed to place letter box at the roadside, in which his mail can be deposited by the carrier, and from which the carrier will take the outgoing mail. At several small places where there is no Postofice number of boxes will be put up, which will practically form an automatic Postoffice. The in. ventor of the scheme will act as Post master, and will send stamps, money or ders, etc., stamp letters and assort them for the mails. While driving out in the morning he will assort the mail for de livery, and, when returning he will pre-. pare it to be placed on the train. He ex poets to barely make expenses, but the Government will pay him 8 royalty or all similar wagons should the scheme b. put in general operation. It is believed that by this method much more worl can be done than by single carrier.

COLLEGE BOYS HAPPY.

F. North Clark, 8 former correspon- dent of TRE BEE, who is in Wesleyan college writes to us concerning the foot- ball jubilee as follows: The calm and serene air which prevades the streets Of Middletown oD Sunday morning was great contrast O the scenes of the nIght before. Wesleyan has had big succession the griiiron this fall, Yale onlv scoring points, Pennsylvania only IF, and we have beaten Amherst, Williams and Holy Cross. The New York Sun con- pares scores and stands Wesleyan at the head of the small colleges But the crowning glory came when Dartmouth was defeated, Saturday, by score of 23 to 5. Dartmouth hasn't played us in many years previous because she thought Wesleyan wasn't in her class, so when the news was received the students went mad with joy." Myriads of bonfires were lighted. All class and fraternity distinctions were forgo ten, and every body met on a common level. Fresh men, seniors, juniors and sophomores marched by fours, arm in arm, through the streets, carrying red-fire and other fiery displays. Fire-crackers snapped, drums beat, horns blew, We yelled, hooted and cheered, in front of the post office building, and lustily! During the march college songs were sung, the main chord being 70 we are the stuff, o we are the stuff the people say" "We beat Dartmouth, we beat Dartmouth the people say" In front of all the profes. sors' houses we halted ,cheered andscalled for speeches. which were generally re- sponded to briefly and then we cheered again. Without any ceremony we marched into the "quail roost'' [the girls dormitorv) through the hall and out again, with appropriate songs and cheers The 'quails" caught the inspiration anC added the piano-forte to the march. Al
 length the boys dispersed tired, bu
 happy set.
