by Judge Allen, he notified Juror ]. r. Nc
Mannis to be In court at o'clock, at which
time he would hear what the juror had to
say In extenuation of his misconduct on
Friday last, when he became intoxicated
during the recess between the morning and
afternoon sessions and caused a continu-
ance of the case until next day. Press OF
business prevented the court from taking
up the McMannis matter until 4 O'Clock
and the Juror waited patiently until hull
in case about an old refrigerator permit
ted Judge Allen to call him up.
Mr.. McMannis then penitently stated that
he had only taken couple of drinks. not
expecting that they would have such a
effect upon his constitution. The
court replied that 1t was not the question
of one drink or two drinks. A juror on duty
had no business to drink Intoxicating liq-
uors at ALL The association with people in
saloons at such time was extremely objec-
tionable and could not be countenanced.
McMannis had drunk himself into such a
condition that 1t had suspended the bust
ness of the court. His honor would not be-
lieve that the juror had willfully placed
himself in the degrading condition in which
he was found, but the fact remained that
he had become intoxicated and the result
had been the same to the court. He found
McMannis guilty of contempt. AS the court
was satisfied that the contempt was not
an intentional offense, which he would have
visited with a severe penalty, the punish
ment would be a SO fine.

merce that the Red Cross society of San
Francisco is meeting thousands of soldiers
coming from all parts of the country. The
officers. he states, uniformly object to the
boys eating cherries, strawberries and
other fresh fruits, but say the more oranges
they eat the better. The board requests
the chamber OF commerce to interest itself
In collecting oranges from the growers and
send them to the Red Cross society, Ferry
building. If the railroads will carry the
oranges free, the chamber Of commerce
will see that the soldiers get all the or
anges they want.
The following letter was received from

sUD0x YORK GRANTS A NOM
SUIT
AND DENIES AN INJUNCTION
In Case Whore Rival Users Of New
San Gabriel River Water Were
Litigants

Judge York yesterday granted non-sui'
On motion OF the defendants Ia the suit OF
L. r.. Houghton and numerous other land
owners, known as the Little Lake Ditch
company, an unincorporated association,
against w. II. Green and others, known as
the East Santa Gertrudes Irrigation COM
pany. These lands of these litigants are
irrigated BY the waters Of the New San
Gabriel river and are situated In the Whit
tier and Norwalk districts. The plaintiffs
formed an association in 1869 for the pur-
pose Of taking water from the river and
built fumes, bitches and conduits. A
couple Of years ago the defendants built a
dam three miles above that Of plaintiff and
proceeded to tap the river too.
The court In deciding the motion said that
the plaintiffs evidence shows their rights
to rest on prescription, as their taking was
not upon public, but private lands. While
their rights may have matured as to ripa-
riau owners below plaintiffs point OF di-
version. they have acquired no rights as
against riparian owners above their point
Of diversion. The diversion Of which plain
tins complain was originally made by the
Banta Ditch company, and the water over
which the contention arose was waste wa
ter from the Banta Ditch, flowing through
waste gates Of that ditch. This water re-
turned to the river over private lands RI
parian to the river.
As it did not appear that the waste water
from the Banta ditch would enter the plain
tits ditch II allowed to flow from the
waste gate into the river, or that the Banta
Ditch company would continue to turn
such water through its gate, or that II the
water were allowed to run into the Little
Lake Ditch company's ditch. 1t would ap-
probably increase its flow. there being
nothing to show that the riparian owners
would not consume it, the court was Of
opinion that an injunction should not be
granted restraining the defendants from
continuing to get their present water sup
by.

DISCHARGED OF HIS DEBTS
z. G. Angevine, the Buffalo Wooden
Co.'s Cutter Relieved of Them

z. C. Angevine, a tailor, was In Depart
ment six yesterday asking to be discharged
from his debts and liabilities, amounting
10 $780, There were no assets. The Pc
tition was opposed by some of the creditors,
n an unincorporated tailoring concern on
Broadway known by the name of the
Buffalo Wooden company.
1t was shown by Mr.. Lewis, former
owner of the place, that Angevine had at
one time had an agreement by which he
would have received, in the event of profits
being made by the establishment, certain
percentage of them, but no profits were
made, and the agreement had come to an
end long ago. Lewis sold the Buffalo
Wooden mills to one 8. H. Peters. who Is
the present owner. A contract was then
produced in court, which shows that An
gevine is merely cutter in the Buffalo
Wooden company at present, at a salary OF
I25 per week. There is now q suit await
ing trial in the superior court in which
w. T. De Groot sues L. Fl. Peters for an
accounting and certain moneys alleged to
have been received by him as the earnings
Of the Buffalo Wooden company, Of which
De Groot claims to be a one-fourth owner.
What the creditors of Mr.. Angevine were
most anxious about was whether there was
IN understanding between Peters and An
gevine that when the latter received his
discharge as an insolvent he would then
be taken in as partner in the tailoring
establishment. Peters denied this. An
yevine's petition was granted.

JURY DISAGREED
Church Damage Case Where It Was
When Suit Was Brought

For the second time the jury in the case
Of Mrs. Elizabeth Church against the Los
Angeles Railway company failed to agree
yesterday when they were brought into
Department six, after having been locked
up together since Saturday evening. Mrs.
Church claimed that on August 30 she was
passenger on a car of the company, and
that after the car had stopped, and she
was in the act of alighting, it started again
with the result that she was thrown down
and her hip so seriously injured that she
became an invalid for life.
The corporation, on the other hand,
showed by ample testimony that the car
had not stopped when Mrs. Church under
took to get off and was hurt; furthermore,
there was evidence that she had made sucl,
an admission Immediately after the event,
and had deplored her carelessness. AS at
the first trial. there was plenty Of evidence
On both sides, that of the plaintiff being
directly to the point, as much as that of the
defense. but directly contrary to it. The
case may be tried again, although 1t Is
very expensive litigation
1t is understood that one Of the witnesses
for the plaintiff is to be arrested for per-
jury on complaint of the defense.
