CLAIMS TO BE SATISFIED
Stock Of the California Rolling Mill
to Be Sold

The present stock Of the California Roll
ing Mills will be sold to satisfy claims OF
employees of the company in the amount
Of $2309-that Is If other creditors of the
company do not take steps to secure their
claims.
Last Saturday Ed Wagstaff, as assignee
of thlrty-one claims for wages. filed suit
against the California Rolling Mills ask
ing to be given judgment against the com
pany for $1,000, and attached material at the
mills for the amount. Yesterday the com
pany came to terms. and through its at
torney agreed to sell the present stock on
hand and apply the same to the payment of
the claims.
The former and present employees were
glad when they heard the news. and ex-
pressed the belief that they would soon re-
ceive their due. This belief Is not shared
by all interested in the company's affairs.
however, and 1t is said tina the company
has other creditors who will enter strong
objection to the stocks being sold unless
they coma In for some of the spoils.
AS a matter Of fact. the estimated value
of the stock on hand is somewhere in the
reighborhood of $4,000, and should all the
parties that are alleged to have claims
against the firm want them satisfied at
once, things may become interesting.

G.. c. Gaylord of Greenville, Tex, wants
~ know where the $4,000 left him by his

hut since that time has never heard from
the guardian of the estate, L. T. Graves of
this city.
In 1891 Mrs. Mary A. Twitchell, formerly
Mrs. Gaylord, died al Monrovia leaving l..
T. Graves executor of her will. Among
other requests she left $1,000 TO her son, c..
G. Gaylord, with instructions that he was
to receive the interest on the money semi
annually.
Shortly after the payment of the interest
by l.. T. Graves in 1896 the other heirs, c.
NJ. Worthing. and G. G. Gaylord. secured
the. removal of Graves as executor of the
estate, on the ground that he was not a
bonded trustee They also contested his
accounts and his right to act as guardian
Of the estate.
These matters have been in the courts
since that time, and are still unsettled The
money is said to be safe in the bank at Au-
rora and the interest continues to increase.

SAN DIEGO WATER comPANz


In the United States circuit court Judge
Ross decided on demurrer In the case o.
the Consolidated Water company againss
the city Of San Diego. The water company
a corporation, brings suit as owner anG
holder OF certain bonds issued by the San
Diego Water company secured by mort
gage and executed by said company. tn
city. through its municipal authorities, the
complaint alleges, has adopted an ordi-
nance fixing rates at which water should
be furnished to the community SO unreal
sonably low as to amount to a practical
taking of the property, securing complain
cnt's lands without just compensation and
contrary to the constitution of the United
States.
One of the points made in support of the
demurrer to the bill is that inaemuch as the
San Diego Water company is not a party
complainant the bill fails to show a ca
pacfty in the complainant to sue. judge
Ross holds that the bill shows that the
mortgage In the case was not the COM
plainant but two trustees, Constantine w.
Benson and Henry L. Cole The interest
conveyed by the mortgage was not to the
complainant but TO Benson and Cole in trust

To entitle holders of bonds secured by
such a mortgage to maintain separate and
Independent suit, he must show a request
by the trustee to bring the suit and re-
fusal on his part, or some other good rea-
son why the trustee may not represent
him. For this reason the demurrer was
sustained with leave to amend.
