WALSH AGAINST WALSH.
A Divorce Case With an Interest
ing Side Issue.

The case of Haydee Walsh against
Ed Walsh was before Judge Hughes
yesterday on the defendants motion for
a stay of the order directing him to
pay his wife $3.50 alimony. The motion
was denied. and Walsh paid the money.
The case was then set for hearing on
March I'd.
An interesting legal point is likely to
arise in this case, relative to the force
and legality of a pre-nuptial agreement
waving a1imony. When the parties to
the suit agreedrto remarry having been
divorced) Ed Walsh told his wife plain
ly that he believed ne had been work
ed" so he proposed that a marriage
settlement covering future contingent
cies be drawn. He called in an attor-
ney, who drew a contract which waived
all damages, alimony, ETC., in case OF
future divorce proceedings.
The partiespMere remarked on the
strength of the agreement, but now
Haydee, ignoring the signed contract,
has sued for divorce. Judge Hughes,
holding the contract to be null and
void, gives Judgment for alimony.
Walsh's attorney and his legal assist
ants hold that the contract is not a
mere vain and idle document, and say
that it is as good as gold, invulnerable
against assault

ton was notified that a small boy was
drunk at the Sacramento Transporta-
ton Company's wharf at Front and N
streets. The patrol wagon was sent
down, and found boy years of age
lying there unconscious His condition
was such that Chief Dwyer sent for DR..

administered emetics and other RENE
dies until the child was restored to his
senses.
1t was ascertained that his name was
Victor Myroold, and from the story he
told the case appeared to be one for the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children, and calling for severe pun
ishment to his father Charles My
roold.
The boy says that his father forces
him to drink foot" wine and beer, and
afterward makes him smoke his strong
old pipe. Yesterday he gave him an
extra dose of wine. When the father
saw the patrol wagon coming he ran
away and escaped but he afterward
ventured down to the station, where
Chief Dwyer promptly ordered him
locked up.
The boys mother corroborated his
story, and says that her husband drinks
considerably, and she has hard work to
get along with him. The boy Is

At Thirteenth and streets yesterday
afternoon a farmer was taking gang
pillow out into the country with spit
tied team of big horses. As the cleo

to dance and the pillow to rattle, and
they started off at good gait, the

coming in opposite directions, collided,
and both were temporarily knocked out.
Several persons saw their danger from
the frightened team, and, running to
their assistance, carried them to the
curb just before the team swept over
the place where they had fallen. Had
they not been dragged out of the way
as quickly as possible it is probable
that both would have been killed, or at
least seriously injured. When last seen
by the passengers on the car tthey had
recovered sufficiently to sit up and be-
gin an argument on just how the COLI

THE SAND Fill TRATlON TEST.
Citizens Interested Can Obtain an
Idea Of How the Plan
Works.

The sand and alum filtration expert
ment is now in progress in the rear OF
the City Water Works building, and
will continue during the week. The
filter used for the test is a small one,
consisting of an upright iron concern,
with two wooden tanks each about
seven feet in diameter and twelve OF
fifteen in hight. One of these is set
ting tank, and the other contains sew
eral feet of white sand, through which
the water filters and flows into one OF
galvanized iron in clarified condl-
ton.
The river water is now fairly clear
owing to the lack OF rain, but even
if it were as muddy as usual in winter
it would probably he made clear IN
passing through the sand. The alum
solution goes into the filtering tank
drop by drop from an iron cylinder
and it is claimed that it's presence can
not be detected.
The man in charge of the filter stated
in answer to questions, that twenty
tanks, each seventeen feet in diameter
would be required to supply the city
and in case of fire the filters, by being
made to operate more freely, would
supply the demand, though of course
the water would not be SO clear.
In addition to the twenty tanks con-
tanning sand there would be required
two large settling basins. The filterine
tanks must be cleansed daily. This is
done by reversing matters and forcing
streams of water up through the bot
TOM This carries the mud and sedi-
ment up from the sand to the top OF
the tank, where it is allowed to flow
off into the nearest sewer.
This filtering plan requires, of course,
two pumping plants to pump the
water into the filters, and the other to
supply the main, as at present. In
short, the system is wholly independent
of the present pumping system, ana
the expense of operating it will be IN
addition thereto.
AS to the quantity Of alum in the
water after leaving the sand filter, that
can easily be determined by analysis
Other points to be considered are:
To what extent will the sand purify
water that has been contaminated Ey
disease poison in the river?
What will be the cost of two large
settling basins and twenty large filters
including a building large enough to
contain them?
What will it cost to put in pump
to supply these filters?
What will be the cost of operating
the pump and the filters, including
fresh supplies of white sand, cleansing
repairs, etc?
VIII the city always have plenty Of
water for fire and domestic purposes
How will the cost of putting in ana
operating an Independent plant of this
kind-supposing the water to be sat-
isfactorv in quality = in conjunction
with the present system, compare with
that of a single plant operated east Oh
the city and supplying pure deep vel
water for all purposes, already filtered
and free from pollution?
