The Evidence Is All in and the Case

Justice of the Peace Richardson of Gala.
basas was witness for the defense yester-
day in the Hilton murder trial. He testi-
fled that one Of the defendants, Harris, had
sought his advice some time before the
Las Virgenes shooting occurred, and ex-
planned the circumstances under which
the old road had been closed and the new
one opened under an agreement between
the defendants and the deceased. Harris
said that Hilton had delivered himself of
threats against him to be executed if he
dared to reopen the old road, and he also

Is STILL MRS. GOULD
The Septuagenarian Lady Cannot Get
Rid of Her Young Man

Judge Clark yesterday denied Mrs Max
imilienne Gould a divorce from Daniel
Webster Gould, which she claimed on the
ground of defendants desertion and fall
ure to provide The case was tried few
days ago and fully reported in these COL
umns. Mrs. Gould is 72 years old and Gould
only about 40. The court says that the
neglect of the husband to provide for his
wife the common necessaries of life, he
having the ability to do so, is not ground
for divorce where, as in this case. the wife
has property of her own, the income OF
which is sufficient for her support.
AS to the charge Of desertion, it is dis
posed of by the judge in the following
language: Plaintiffs story is that shortly
after the marriage she discovered what, to
any unprejudiced person, would seem to be
painfully apparent, that the only charm
and the only attraction for the defendant
that she possessed was her wealth, and as
she asserts, upon her refusal to sell the
property and set him up in business ne
tasely deserted her. The defendants s story
is that upon the marriage taking place
the relatives of plaintiff, envious possibly
of his fortune and possibly fearful that he
might absorb her wealth. poisoned her
mind against him by telling her what he
would seem to admit to be true that the
marriage on his part was a mercenary
marriage and not one of love, and there
upon she cruelty drove him from bed and
board, Notwithstanding the fact that he
was at all times willing to discharge his
marital duties and obligations to the best
of his ability" The court finds that the
evidence that is fatal to Mrs. Gould's CLAIM
for divorce on the ground of desertion is
the agreement between her husband and
herself made on April 2, 1896. eight days
after her marriage, in which they mutually
agree to live separately. This shows tina:
the separation was by consent of the
woman. and, according to the code, it is
not desertfon. Judgment went to defend
ant consequently, but without costs.

MoRWALK RANCHERs' CLAIMS
TO THEFLoW
OF NEW SAN GABRIEL RIVER
Injunction Suit on Trial to Head OF
Alleged Interlopers Who
Divert the Fluid

In 1858 several ranchers in the Santa
Gertrudes ranch, northwest Of Norwalx
associated themselves as the Little Lake
Ditch company, although they did not in
corporate, for the purpose OF appropriat-
ing the water of the New San Gabrielrive
and conveying 1t upon their lands for irri-
cation and domestic purposes. The total
number of shares of the company is twen-
ty-fve The East Santa Gertrudes Irriga-
ton company, also an Incorporated asso-
citation, S1th 290 shares, was formed in
1880 for the purpose of supplying to its
members water for similar uses and from
the same source.
In the spring of 1869 the Little Lake Ditch
company constructed a dam across Hae
canal, by means of which 500 inches of
water per second were supplied to its
shareholders, increasing 1t later to SIG
inches. The heavy rains of 1884 filled the
company's ditch, and when the damages
had been completely repaired fiume had
been substituted and carried to a point
about half a mile further up the New San
Gabriel river.
According to the allegations of the Little
Lake Ditch company, the East Santa
Gertrudes Irrigation company about two
years ago built dam and headgate about
three miles above the former company's,
and has been taking from the river 269inches
per second during the irrigating season.
thereby rendering the supply of the first
comers insufficient.
The Little Lake Ditch company brought
suit in the superior court against the

the water of the river on the ground that

VERDICT FOR DEFENDANTS

From Rice Brothers

The jury In the case of Ethel West. who

noon in favor of the defendants.
The plaintiff is a little girl, not much
more than seven years old, who was severe

explosion OF a. lamp at her home. The
parents claimed that Rice Bros. had negli-
gently filled their coal oil can with gasoline
instead of kerosene, and that this caused
the lamp to explode. The testimony in
troduced by defendants went to show that
such was not the case, and that some. OF
the material allegations on the part OF
plaintiff were ineXact.
A suit for s5177.15 damages brought by the
girls father, William West, was tried be-
fore Judge York in September of last year,

II have not seen the opinion Of the court

the circuit court of appeals, to which you
refer. but l infer from the published arti-
Gle that the court held that there was
statutory withdrawal of lands within the

quently, the settler was a trespasser and
acquired no right by his entry and the
patent issued to him by the government

pose as the case was made for test that

II have no thought Of criticlsing the de-
cision of the court Just rendered, but may
say that there appears to be a wide differ
ence of opinion as to whether or not the
railroad company acquires q right to any
particular tract of land until 1t has made

the secretary of the interior and that there
is strong authority for the contention that
