HEAVY DAMAGES FOR
 A FRESNO RANCHER.
Wins a Suit Against the San Joa- quin-Kings River Canal Irriga-
 tion Company.

FRESNO, April 16.-The suit brought by William Lowry against the San Joaquin Kings River Canal Irrigation Company which has been on trial before jury in Judge Risleys court all week. ended late this afternoon in verdict of 20,000 for the plaintiff. The award of such heavy damages came as a surprise to those who had been following the case. It was thought the plaintiff would get a verdict, but few thought it would be for so large an amount.
 The amount sued for was BPS ,OOO for in- jury sustained by the flooding of a large acreage which Lowry was farming. The damage was alleged to have been caused by the backing up of water owing to a dam which the Irrigation Company main tained across San Joaquin River.
 The defendant asked for twenty days stay, which was consented to. The case will be appealed to the Supreme Court. It is understood that Miller & Lux are the real defendants in the action.

J. Baltimore, a Barber, Carved His Sweet
 hearts Illus band.
A Dealer in Coal Oil Who Re- qrets That He Thought He
 Was Infatuated.
Sent to the Hospital After Attempting to Show Rival the Error
 of His Way.

James Baltimore, colored, and a barber by profession, is in all kinds of difficulty because of a love affair in which the wife of a local coal-oil dealer is intermingled. For weeks past the clandestine meetings have taken place, but few nights ago the hus- band became aware Of the visits of his wife and went to the barber shop of his rival, and in an attempt to aSSasSinate his competitor received a deep gash in the calf of the right leg, which necessitated a visit to the Receiving Hospital, where the wound was dressed.
 The case, or rather love affair, shows how easily a man of good looks may win the affections of a lady of trusting disposition, be she what nationality or hue nature has made her, but in this case the lady was white, and In conse- quence the husband was made the mere jealous thereby. Nature fre- quently plays peculiar tricks, and the coal-oil dealer thinks razors are even more tricky but he is willing to leave things as they are, since his better half has decided that she will no longer leave the fireside of the man she has chosen, and in consequence Baltimore is shaving his customers in a quiet way while his brain is whirling in a mist of plans and determination.
 It is not at all probable that the case will find it's way into the courts, but there are rumors which fit here and there that a body may find its way into the Morgue, but neither husband. nor rival seems to worry, as it is prob able that the center of attraction has given solemn promises in both direc- tions. "I don't blame him for cutting me-" says one, and the other dreams of a second chance to repeat the operation.
 Meanwhile the lady in the case won- ders just where the peculiar situation will end, and it is rumored that she will fly to distant parts to escape the anger of her husband and the honeyed words of James Baltimore, the barber.

Failing tn Get II, burglars Left
Agen's House without Plumber.

The handsome residence OF John r..
Agen. at the corner OF Seneca street and
Boylston avenue, has been ransacked from
basement TO garnet by burglars, yet cas-
ual search fails to reveal missing articles.
The burglary was discovered last even
ing. when Mr.. Agen returned from ten
days trip to California. In his absence
the house has been closed. Entrance was
effected through a door at the east side of
the house by the use of skeleton keys. The
Srst disappointment that the burglars met
was the absence of the silverware. Ii had
been placed In a vault down town. The
doors upstairs were locked, but the burg
lars forced them open. In the room that
fronts on Seneca street they smashed the
locks that secured the bureau drawers, but
took nothing. Passing to the Boylston ave
nue. side OF the house. they threw things
on the bed, but took nothing save 81 or
s. from a small purse that WAS the prop
erty of Mr.. Agens mother. Many valu-
able articles were within easy reach, but
the burglars were evidently after money,
and did not care to take articles that
might lead TO their discovery and convic-
ton.
