he has been furnished with water by the

unfit for domestic use as It has contained
large Quantities of decayed animal and veg
etable matter. He claims that since April
18th his four children have been i'll with
typhoid fever, brought on by the vile con-
dition OF the water. This condition, Roy
says, Is due wholly to the gross carelessness
In furnishing the water.
The chief cause of the action, as set forth

EVANS CASE AGAIN
A Suit Against Detectives to Secure
Stolen Property

The troubles Of Benjamin Evans, the al
legged kleptomaniac and shoplifter, are
again before the attention Of the court. This
time the matter appears in suit COM
menced yesterday by H. j. Hughes, Evans
attorney. against Chief of Police Glass and
Detectives Walter Auble, J. ]. Hawley and
Paul Flammer. in which the plaintiff de-
mands the possession of goods now in the
hands of defendants, valued at $500. Apr
4th, last, Hawley and Flammer arrested
Evans on charge of shoplifting, and later
removed from his room, No. 1241s South
Spring street, large amount of miscel-
laneous articles. Most of the stun was
afterward claimed by different merchants
In the city. who charged that Evans had
stolen the goods from them. Evans was
tried on several petty larceny charges, and
is now in Jail serving time. An attempt was
also made to prove that Evans was insane
but the case failed.
In spite of the fact that much of the goods
have been claimed there still remain many
articles of value, including fancy Japanese
articles as yet unidentified. Hughes the
attorney who defended Evans, tired of
working for glory and secured an order
from Evans making over his right to the
goods now in the hands of the police to
him.
< Hughes has filed an inventory OF the
goods and the list includes among other
theings the following: Two hundred and
sevepty-fve pieces Of cut glass, 100 pieces

WATER RIGHTS DEFINED
A Preliminary Statement In the Bow
ery-Adams Case

Judge Shaw yesterday rendered pre-
liminary statement in the water suit en-
titled Bowering ct al. VS.. Adams ct al. The
controversy arises out of the fact that the
San Jose Ranch company being owners
Of several thousand acres Of land and OF
water supply amounting to about eighty
miners inches, and sufficient to irrigate
only about eight thousand acres OF land,
made contracts for the sale OF water
amounting to nearly two thousand inches;
consequently there was not enough to go
around among all the persons who claimed
it.
In deciding the case the court holds that
the points to be considered are, first, the
priority in the use Of the water according
to the priority in the date Of the recording
Of the deeds; and. second, whether or NOT
the description of the water rights in the
deeds are sufficient to convey the title.
The evidence in the case shows that the
parties of the suit were all engaged in the
cultivation of land and depended on the
water for irrigating. Under such condi-
lions the court held that the water right
is real estate. On passing on this point
the court said: I'm regard to the effect OF
the record OF a deed of real estate there is
no MStlnCtlOn IN pne law between convey
ance OF land and a conveyance OF an In
corporeal hereditament, such as a water
right. Therefore, wherever tfse,e appears
10 have been a valid deed OF an easement
consisting Of a water right to water from
q definite source, sufficiently described to
be susceptible of iden LITIGATION, the record
Of such deed will suffice to protect the
purchaser in his right"
A number OF parties claim under con-
tract to have been given the right to one
inch. four-inch pressure, while others
cfaim their right with the additional state
meNt that the water was from pipes as now
laid by the company
The court did not pass finally on the
matter OF priority, but wound up the state
ment with the following: THE parties are
30 numerous and their respective rights
depend on so many and so varying circum-
stances, that 1t is not practicable in this
opinion, without giving it undue length, to
discuss even briefly the conflicting rights.
