and Desperate Struggle In the Dark.
from 1.-THE Bah Ballads.'1
Twas on the shores that round our coast
From Deal to Ramsgate span
That l found alone, on piece Of stone,
An elderly naval man.
His hair was weedy, his beard was long,
And weeCy and long was he,
And l heard this wight on the shore recite
In a singular minor key:
ooh, | am a cook and captain bold
And the mate of the Nancy brig,
And bos'n tight and a midshipmite
And the crew of the captain s gig!"
And he shook his fists and he tore his hair,
Till really felt afraid,
For could IT help thinking the man had
been drinking,
And so ! simply said:
"Oh, elderly man, it's little know
OF the duties of men of the sea,
And I'll eat my hand if l understand
How you can possibly be
cat once cook and captain bold
And the mate of the Nancy brig
And a Dos n tight and a midshipmite
And the crew of the captains gigi"
Then he gave hitch to his trousers, which
Is trick all seamen larn,
And, having got rid of humping quid,
He spun this painful yarn:
"'Twas in the good ship Nancy Bell
That we sailed to the Indian sea,
And there on a reef we come to grief,
Which has often occurred to me-
"And pretty nigh all O. the crew was
drowned
(There was seventy-seven o. souD,
And only ten of the Nancy men
Said 'Herel' to the muster roll.

ROLLING GOT THREE YEARS
Tears and Extenuating Circumstances
Do Not Affect the Court

The criminal department of the superior
court presented a touching scene yester-
day morning. during the proceedings in
the case of the People VS.. Henry Rolling
for burglary. Rolling is German who
had been employed in the Los Alamitos
sugar factory for some time previous to his
arrest. 1t was commended that he did not
himself commit the offense with which he
was charged, but that another man, who
has never been found, got him drunk and
then took him to the scene of the crime,
and after its committal, gave him the
goods subsequently found in his possession.
Rohling's fearful wife and little baby were
in court, and he stated that he took the
jewelry and clothing for them. With these
statements of extenuating circumstances.
he pleaded guilty.
The court apparently took no stock in the
story and was moved neither by the tear
full wife nor the fact that the prisoner had
previously borne a good character. The
sentence was three years at San Quentin.
Detective F'lammer was the complaining
witness In the case, alleging that ON Au-
gust 23d Rolling entered his residence and
stole therefrom certain clothing and jew
elry, taking 1t home with him and conceal
ing 1t in the dirt in his back yard.

GOOD CAUSE FOR ACTION
Suit Against Pomona Land and Water
Company Will Be Heard

Judge Allen yesterday rendered an opin-
ion In the case of Perrin against the Po-
mona Land ard Water company. In which
he overrul@s the defendants demurrer. The
court says:
THE cause of action set forth is for
the rescission and for judgment for the
amount heretofore paid on a contract. the
resclssion being based upon failure Of con-
sidera ton in part. The admitted allega-
tons are that several years ago, the de-
fondant then having a disputed title to GER
tain real estate, made a contract with
plaintiff TO sell him ten acres thereof to-
gether with certain water stock, ard
agreed that upon full payment of the pur-
chase price It would convey the land TO
plaintiff together with one hundred shares
Of stock of the Del Monte Irrigation com
pary, representing one inch of water under
a four-inch pressure measured from center
Of aperture, which stock was TO be ac
cepted subject to the bylaws Of the irriga
ton company when payment In full was
made for the Nand; that by the further
terms of such agreement permission was
given plaintiff, ard he entered upon the
land and made improvements to the ex-
tent and value Of $500, ard. further. tina;
until full payment was MADE no title or In
terest should pass to such land II Is
further alleged that plaintiff made the pay
ments IN full for said lard as soon as the
;itle thereto was vested In the defendant,
which was shortly before the commence
ment Of this action; that defendant ac-
copied the balance remaining due, and
when 1t accepted the money promised and
agreed to carry out all the terms Of such
contract obiga tory on 1t; that defendant.
after receiving such money, refused to
transfer to the plaintiff one inch Of water,

that someone might be injured by rum
ming against the prongs of the wire, and
when Miller insisted the city council was
appealed TO with the result that an or
dinance was passed agains: the use Of
barbed wire for such a purpose. Walshs
action in the matter displeased Miller, and
as time wore on the breach has so
widened as to include not only the families
of the men but many Of their friends as
well.
Some years afterward Miller discovered
that his neighbor had made a mistake n
the loca don of his residence; that the
caves. a portion of the porch and of the
kitchen extended over the properly line,
thus in a mariner encroa ching on the
Miller possessions. Walsh was instructed
to remove the trespassing portion Of his
residence forthwith, but took no imme-
date action. Miller thereupon, It is said,
undertook the task himself. He sawed off
the cornice, broke off a portion of the
porch and kitchen and, in a general way
broke up housekee ping for the Walsh FAM
lily. Law suits ensued In which the Walsh
family recovered In part for the damage
done. bu; 1t always remadnded an open
question as to which side really got he
worst of the entire proceeding.
Another time, q controversy arose as to
the location of certain electric poles. The
companys surveyor designated a spot for
one in front of each of the warning resi-
dents houses. When they came to be set
the Walsh's alleged that a shift had been
made and holes were dug In front of the
latter's property for both of them. Mrs.
Walsh thereupon placed a chair over one
of the holes and sat herself upon it, hold
Ing the fort until the company made other
arrangements.
On Saturday August 20, Mr.. Walsh left
his house, In his journey he was forced
to pass the Miller domicile unless he went
quite distance out of his way. Mr. Mil
Ter was in front of his residence in COM
pany with his son Leon. These are about
the only facts on which the parties agree
Walsh alleges that as he come along MIL
Ter stood on the walk and attempted to
strike him with the hose he was using 10
sprinkle the sidewalk. At the same time
Leon Miller. who seems the bone of con-
tention. acted as an auxiliary in the at
tack. tlourshing broom, which he held.
Walsh saw no chance to build a trocha,

MILLER WALSH ffUD
COURT REQUIRES MILLER TO
GIVE A PEACE BOND
AN INCIDENT IN AN OLD FIGHT
Hill Street Neighbors Who Have Been
at Outs for Thirteen Years.
General Court News

It began thirteen years ago and they have
been at It ever since. Such is the fac;
concerning the feud between the families
of C. T. Miller and D. F. Walsh Hill street
residents who were in Justice Young
court yesterday to tell all about how the
last disagreement in the long series oc-
CURED. AS result Of the hearing yester-
day, Mr.. Miller was required to give a
bond to keep the peace In the sum Of $500.
The circumstances leading up to the recent
trouble are, In part, as follows:
Charles T. Miller, contractor. over a
dozen years ago lived a; SOC South Hill
street. Beside him at S12 South Hill street
resided his friend, Donnie T. Walsh. also q
contractor. The first breach between the
men was caused In a controversy over a
barbed wire fence, which Miller sought 10
have set up as dividing line between their
respective properties. Walsh demurred

retreat was the only course open to him
He ran a short distance and stopped to as
semble his scattered forces, at the same
time calling for reinforcements.
Meanwhile Master Leon Miller made a
rapid march to the street, secured q con-
venient supply of limestone ammunition,
and, after careful aim, hied 1t after the
fleeing foe. striking a most vulnerable spot
In the rear. Walsh's cry for reinforce
inent attracted Constable Yonkin across
the street. and his arrival on the scene
caused the withdrawal of the Miller forces.
Mr.. Miller's story, as told on the stand
yesterday, was about as contradictory as
the fracas was placed on walsh's Shout
ders; he was the attacking party, and he
carried a knife and pistol. Miller told his
tale In dramatic fashion, and, as he re-
lated the most minute details. became very
excited and angry. He alleged that every
thing he did was merely in self-defense.
and said emphatically that Walsh -four
ished dangerous-looking knife and tried
to get a revolver out of his pocket fer use.
Constable Yonkin stated. however, that
he searched Walsh after his arrival on the
scene and found no weapons of any char
acter.
A few days after the occurrence Mr..
Walsh swore to a complaint charging Mil
Ter with threatening his life, and asked
that the offender be placed under bond
to keep the peace. 1t was on this COM
plant that the matter yesterday came be-
fore Justice Young. The court did not con-
slider that much time was required for
determining proper action in the mat
ter Mr.. Miller had scarcely completed his
testimony when Justice Young said
well, Mr.. Miller, the court is perfectly
satisfied from your manner on the witness

Howe Against Obear

The suit of e. T. Howe against w. H
Obear to recover $1,000 promissory note
which the plaintiff alleges was secured from
him under Misrepresentation, occupied
Judge York's court all day yesterday.
Obear contends that the note was given
by Howe with full knowledge Of what II
was to be used for and that there was no
intent and Howe knew 1t. II
seems that the matter is the outcome Of a
bad m.x-up in series Of business tran
sacttons previous to the dissolution of the
affairs of Howe g. Obear. The
court will probably take the case under
today.

were made promptly after the refusal Of
the company to carry out its agreement
and no laches can be imputed to plaintiff.
The plaintiff alleges that he rendered the
possession Of the land at the time he gave
notice of the rescission. This was and is
all he had at the time of the notice He
could surrender nothing else, and this, 1t Is
admitted the defendant refused to accept,
"lf my view of the contract Is correct
the complaint states good cause of action,
at least for the'amount paid. and he COM
plant is good as against a general de-
murrer. An order will be entered over
ruling defendants demurrer to the amended
complaint"

MOLCIE WAS A COOK
Her Husband Wore a Uniform and
Lived Off Her Earnings

Mrs. MolcIe Wood, a neat looking
colored woman. was yesterday granted a
divorce from her husband, Edward Wood,
on the ground of cruelty and desertion.
The testimony heard by Judge Allen
showed that the couple were married at
San Antonio. Texas, in 1885. In 1890 they
moved to Oakland. where Wood squan-
dered al their savings in gambling and
drinking. The wife then secured a position
as a cook, and from that on although
Wood for long period had a job, ais a
Pullman car porter, Mrs. Wood was the
support Of the family. Finally. she gave
up housekeeping and went TO Pasadena to
live Wood sold the furniture in her alb
sence At another Sine he put his wife
out of the house at midnight In her night
dress, beating and cursing her meanwhile.

but instead thereof rendered 1-50 Of one
inch; that the land so purchased was dry
land, Of little or no value without wa: cr

and is insufficient for irrigation. This
plaintiff very properly, in my opinion re-
fused TO accept.

the New Orleans Mint is instiga-
ted, the Examiner insists, is q CO.
vert attack ON silver. This move
ment must be checked" It de-
clares, "for there is no sense or
reason in it. If necessary, coin
age at the New Orleans Mint may
be temporarily suspended, as it
has often been in the past, but the
plant should be maintained and
kept ready for service"
The Examiner is right in insis-
ting that the fight must not be
abandoned because Director Pres
ton has secured a temporary adj
vantage. The matter came up be-
fore Congress in such a way as to
prevent the question being intelli-
gently discussed. The Mint was
closed not by an order of Con-
gress, but by failure to provide
for it. 1t was closed during the
holiday recess, and when nothing
could be done to prevent it; and
when Congress reassembled it was
to find the harm done. The &C
ton taken is unfriendly to the
South and West, and that those
sections should submit to sucl
snap judgment is not to be though
of for a second.
| The action taken should be re
garded as merely temporary, to b.
undone as soon as possible by TIN
united votes of the South ant
West.

ceeded in closing the New Or
