taken yesterday to avoid the over-crowding
OF the court room, an officer being placed at
the door when all the seats were filled to
prevent the entrance Of more than could
be comfortably accommodated during the
continuance Of argument.
The young defendant was surrounded by
his friends, as he has been all through the
trial, and sat in apparently perfect com
posure while the threads of evidence were
being traced to definite conclusions as to
his guilt or innocence. His absolute control
of his emotions has been constantly ex-
hlbited whenever he has been in court Sit
ting there beside his attorneys, his GOODNESS
has been so remarkable and so well sustained
as to excite much comment. Whether this

WATER DITCH DISPUTE
Murphey Must Reimburse Pallet and
Others for Their Loss

Judge Shaw rendered written decision
yesterday awarding $1,000 damages to w. A..
Pallett ct al. for the refusal of s. J. Muir
phey to deliver water when they were right
fully entitled to receive it, that sum being
held as fair measure of the difference in
the rental value Of plaintiffs lands, with
the use of water thereon for irrigation, and
their rental value without water.
Plaintiffs predecessors in interest granted
to the defendant right of way for water
ditch across the Rancho Paso de Bartolo,
which grant was made use of by him for the
purpose of irrgating his lands. After the
ditch was constructed the defendant granted
perpetual water rights to certain persons
other than the owners Of lands in the
Rancho Paso de Bartolo to the amount OF
fifty inches constant flow. Having sur

Complaints Filed Against Los Angeles
Water Companies

Elisha c. Ware and Minnie A. Ware have

residents of Chicago and the defendants OF
Los Angeles, with their principal place OF
business at Rosedale Plaintiffs allege that
the capital stock of the West Los Angeles
Water company is $l,0OO,00O divided
500 each, of which they own respectively
S22 and 62l shares.
The capital stock of the West Side Water
company is 100000, divided into 5000 shares
at 500 each, of which they own 234 shares
September s, 1898, at n joint meeting OF
the directors of the corporations, an assess
ment of $40 per share on the capital stock
of the West Los Angeles company and Sc
per share of the West Side company, made
payable October 8, and becoming delinquent
on October IL, were advertised for sale at
public auction. The assessment notices, it
is alleged, were not published according to
law and plaintiffs stock became delinquent,
which they claim was an attempt to defraud
on the part of the defendants.
Plaintiffs ask for writ of injunction
restraining defendants from attempting to
sell their shares of stock or from levying
assessments until further ordering of the
court; that the temporary injunction be
made permanent; for full and complete
accounting of the affairs, transactions, re-
ceipts and disbursements of the corporations
from March IL, 1897, and that defendants
may be compelled to surrender all of the
said shares of stock and first mortgage
bonds due to them from the corporations.

In 1884 the plaintiffs, in pursuance of the
original agreement, whereby their pre-
decessors in interest and assigns were guar
anteed the use of water from the ditch on
the Rancho Paso de Bartolo upon the lowest
terms. and most favorable conditions al
lowed to others, applied to Murphey for
water for the irrigation of lands occupied by
them. The defendant refused to deliver the
same upon the ground that applications had
already been received for all the water in the
dltch and there was none to spare plaintiffs
Judge Shaw holds that the granting of a
water. right to the owners of the ranch in
consideration Of right of way over Their
lands placed them in the same position as
those to whom permanent water rights were
afterwards sold by defendant The refusal
to supply their demands was therefore a

ROLLINS VS.. WILSON
Diverse Explanations of the Fracas
on Friday in the Court House

Court Commissioner Rollins explanation
of his tilt with C. N. Wilson in Judge
Smiths court room Friday is that Wilson
had in his possession papers he had given
him for inspection merely. and that they
had never been served; and when he want
led the papers returned to him to be in
Wilson fatty refused to deliver them,
whereupon he took them from Wilson, oc-
casioning the fracas.
Mr. Wilson's statement differs slightly
from that version of the matter. He says
the papers had been presented to him and
Rollins asked that they be returned to him.
He offered Rollins copy, but claimed the
time calling Rollins attention to an item
therein which the latter at once was SO anx-
ious to correct that he took the papers forc-
bly,. For this offense, he says, Rollins will
have to reckon with him further.
