Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDWOOD CITY, April 14.-In the
case of w. O. Booth against the San
Mateo Gaslight Company, Judge Buck
has just filed an opinion granting the
plaintiff the relief prayed for in his
complaint and $500 damages. The COM
plaint was filed by w. o. Booth in
August of last year. Booth is resi-
dent of San Mateo. The defendant is
a corporation, having its principal
place Of business in the same place and
is engag ged in manufacturing gas in the
central and populous portion of the
town. The gas plant proved nuisance
to the pl lintiff on account OF It's close
proximity to his residence ana ne
brought suit to have the nuisance
abated and for $4,000 damages claimed

family.
The complaint alleged that until
within sixty days previous to the com
mencement of the action the defendant
was engaged in its business in por-
tion of the town eight blocks distant
from its present site and in com
paratively uninhabited locality. Sixty
days prior TO the filing Of the suit the
company moved it's works to the rear
of and Immediately adjoining the land
and dwelling of the plaintiff Slckenlng
odors and gases have entered the Booth
home, to the detriment of its occupants
health The plaintiff and his family
have frequently been nauseated and
troubled with headache.
Booth attacked the manner in which
the plant was conducted. He said that
it was a primitive and incomplete con-
Germ and by reason of the fires kept in
the furnaces and by reason, also, of
the defendants carelessness, reckless
ness and negligence dense black smoke
arose from the smoke stack and was
driven in and upon his premises, filling
his garden, yard and house and soiling
clothes hung out to dry. He further

was allowed TO run from the works

The case probably will be appealed

HOLD A BARONET'S
BODY FOR RANSOM
IndiinS Have Sir Arthur
Curtis Remains.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

VICTORIA, B. c., April 14.-News
comes from the Hudson Bay posts on
the Ashcroft trail to the Stickeen River
and Lake Teslin to the effect that In
dams in the employ of the Hudson Bay
Company have a clew which probably
will lead to the recovery of the body of
Sir Arthur Curtis, the young English
baronet, who is supposed to have COM
mitted suicide because Of the hardships
he encountered on the Canadian trail.
The body is said to be in the posses
sion of American Indians, who have
carefully buried it and expect to get
big ransom when the present search
instituted by his English relatives shall
have been abandoned. The Hudson
Bay Indians hope to obtain the body
by force and get the offered reward for
themselves. An Indian war over the
unfortunate lords remains may result.
The story of Sir Arthur Curtis death
is a sad one. He had been ranching at
Cosham, as many another wild young
Englishman of blue blood has done. He
got the Klondike fever and with a
party of eight started over the Ash
croft trail. They had an elaborate out
fit and for a few hundred miles all
went we'll
Their troubles began before they
reached Mud River. They crossed that
stream on June last year. The next
morning Sir Arthur seemed moody. All
of the horses had been stampeded dur
ing the night and were nowhere to be
found He loaded his revolver. lighted
his pipe and walked into the woods.
after saying good-by to Roger Pocock,
whose turn 1t was to guard the camp.
Sir Arthur never returned. There
were several theories regarding his
death. He might have fallen into one
of the sluggish branches of the Mud
River and lost his life. He might have
been killed by Indians He might. in
a fit of dependency, have taken his
own life. The latter theory IS almost
generally believed.
The Indians soon gave evidence that
they were holding the body for ran
som, and they were offered $1,000 for it.
They demanded $4,000, but there was
every prospect that they would not
give up the body on the payment of
even that amount.
There has been no news from the
Mud River country for some time. The
news brought by the Farallon from
Dawson reached that city by Hudson
Bay Company carriers, who manage to
travel all over the great northland in
spite of the season.
