QUO WARRANTO PROCESS
IS FINALLY ADOPTED
County Act Test Case to Be Brought Before
Judge De Bolt Today and i1astened
to Supreme Court.

/! A writ of quo warranto is the plan
finally adopted for a judicial test of the
! County Act. Although the question
was reopened and earnestly discussed
at the Capitol yesterday, the confer
ence of the Bar Association committee
with Governor Carter and Attorney
| General Andrews adhered to the course
announced in that mornings Adver-
tiser.
There We're three plans under con-
sideration-, a writ of Injunction; q a
submission of agreed fact to the Su-
preme Court 8, writ of quo warranto.
The writ of quo warranto will be
directed to the supervisors of the Coun-
| ty of Oahu, requiring them to show
their authority or warrant for assum-
ing the functions prescribed for su-
pervisors of counties in the County
Act.
1t is intended that the summons shall
be served on each supervisor this morn
ing, returnable before Circuit Judge De
Bolt this afternoon. The purpose is to
De Bolt and take an appeal therefrom
to the Supreme Court, then endeavor to
have the matter heard by the appellate
tribunal as soon as possible after
Christmas.
The quo warranto proceedings having
been decided upon, the executive COM
mittee of the Bar Association request
ed the Attorney General to write to
Messrs. Matthewman and Hemenway
TO act for the Territory, and General
Hartwell for the County in the matter.
Attorney General Andrews will not ap-
pear personally, but his name will be
used as relator for the Territory in the
writ
AS the writ is to run, its preamble
cites the Organic Act and the County
Act as bearing on the subject, then
commands the supervisors to show
cause why they should not be declared
not qualified nor legally entitled to act
as supervisors of the County of Oahu
upon the following grounds:
GROUNDS OF WRIT.
(a) That said County Act provides
for elective boards of public nature,
instead of boards appointed by the
Governor, as required by the provisions
of said Act of Congress.
(b) That said County Act requires
certain appointive Territorial officials,
as. for instance, the Superintendent of
Public Works, to surrender to certain
elective county officers, as required by

FLOOD WARsHiP's ONLY HOPE.
Rise in Mississippi Alone Will Float
 the Arkansas.

Washington, May 15.-Lieutenant Chester, one of the watch officers of the monitor Arkansas, arrived at the navy department this morning from St. Genevieve, where the vessel is lying, and reported that, in his judg- ment, it will be impossible for her to make her way down the Mississippi till next spring. unless an unexpected and unreasonable flood rise occurs. The navy department will make it's plans accordingly.
 Some of the vessels crew will be transferred to other warships in the east. and those remaining on the Ar kansas will put in the summer and fall in the comprehensive drills which will probably make the boat an object oi attraction to the western people. The Arkansas was finally accepted by the acting secretary of the navy today having fulfilled all the requirements of her contract.

COPPER COMES
 FROM HEAVEES
PIECE OF METEoRITE FOUND ON
 HILLSIDE NEAR LOWELL.
Local Geoiogists Say That 1t Was at
 On,y Few Years Ago Near Bisbee.

Without doubt. one of natures strangest freaks has been found on hillside near the Lowell mine, on claims owned by Sam Dwyer. It is a small piece of meteorite, composed almost entirely of pure copper.
 The interesting specimen is on ex- hibition at the Capital saloon. and has been viewed by number of clev- CT geologists. who pronounce it a vis- itor from the heavens, that at one time made up part of one of the planets.
 If the piece of mineral proves under the examination of expert geologists to be a meteorite. it will open up the fact to science beyond the possibility of doubt that this earth of ours is not the possessor of all the rich min erals.
 The specimen was found by an old prospector. who was doing develop ment work for Dwyer on one of his claims He thought at first that it was native copper, but when others more learned who had a chance to view it expressed an opinion. they agreed that it was foreign to this earth.
 i Before James Reilly died. several months ago, he often mentioned the singular sight he saw on the hillside near the Lowell. Late one night in 1896 he saw a ball of brilliant fire strike the earth with sudden burst ing that lighted the hills for half a mile on every side.
 | At the time little was thought of Reilly's statement, it being believed that he was spinning yarn. Since the finding of the piece of meteorite. there is more credence being given to | his surprising statement. It is now believed that he saw the meteorite fall that was made up partly by the specimen at the Capital saloon.
 Several who have seen the interest ing piece of copper that evidently came millions of miles to find a rest ing place near Bisbee, express a desire to see it sent to the Smithsonian in stitute and have it examined by ex perts. Their opinion would settle the question of the former habitat Of the
 supposed meteorite.

GEO. MOORE IS
 SHOT BY SMITH
VICTIM IS IN DANGEROUS coNDl.
 TON, BUT WILL RECOVER.
Two Men Left Beer Garden Early Yes
 terday Morning, and in Passing Re- voIver, F. Was Accidentally Fired.

George Moore lies dangerous injured at house below the Bisbee Mercantile store, as the result of the accidental discharge of a revolver in the hands of Bill Smith, brother of Marcus D. Smith editor of the Cananea Herald.
 Dr. Hart, who had seven months experience in the army in the Philip pines, was called to dress Moore's wounds, and found that the bullet clipped of a piece of the collar bone and then ranged downward, emerging below the shoulder blade.
 Moore's condition yesterday was very critical. During the day he had severe hemorrhage, and last night was reported to be suffering intensely from the pain caused by his wound and the loss of blood. His face is also badly powder burnt, the revolver having been close to his head when it was discharged.
 According to the statements made by both Moore and Smith. the shoot ! ing was purely accidental They spent the night at the Beer Garden and left there yesterday morning tc go to their homes about ? o'clock Whsn they had gone few yards the shooting occurred.
 Moore stated to Dr. Hart that ht was asked by Smith for his revolver and in handing it to him the hammer l f11 manner and the cartridge exploded In handing the revolver to Smith Moore held the muzzle end toward himself
 | There was some talk yesterday that the shooting was not accidental. and that the two men were quarreline over a woman. When asked about this. Moore replied that it was all ( mistake When they left the Beer Garden the two men were apparently on very friendly terms.
 When Dr. Hart answered the sum mons yesterday morning, a few min lutes after the shooting, he was ac compahied by Night WhtchmaI Thomas The latter placed Smitl under arrest, but released him when i was learned that Moore was not will ing to say that an attempt had beel made to injure him.
 Dr. Hart states that some o
 Moore's clothing was carried into tn
 wound by the bullet, and that there i

WILL WATCH SMITH TRIAL

saw Smith, who is a fiashy young fel- low of 23. go into a saloon. The off cer waited for him to come out. but he didn't come, so Murphy vert in and got him.
 Smith is. according to report and appearance. very tough individual His parents long ago gave up trying to straighten out his crooked affairs.
 About March 1. 1901. Smith and Miss Wolf were close friends. They had been enjoying each others society for several weeks in Los Angeles, and Miss Wolf, who is a tall and handsome brunette of 22, had the greatest conf. dence in the young fellow.
 Shortly before this date Miss Vol had mortgaged a piece of property, on which she realized $500. In addition to this, she had s250 saved from her earnings as a nurse girl. Smith knew about this money, and began to scheme for its possession. But Miss Wolf thought he was an invaluable i friend.
 omlJn suggested that sne put nei money in some sort of business, and after their heads had been together over the matter for several days Smith proposed the dry goods busi ness Miss Smith assented to this and placed all her money in Smiths hands to buy stock and secure a To cation. From time to time he re ported to her on his progress.
 Then one day he skipped out, anC Miss Wolf was left without penny.

Locally. the result of the trial in Los Angeles of R. z. Smith will be watched with great deal of interest He is now being tried for the theft of s2O5 frorl Miss Minette Wolf of Bis. bee
 Miss Wolf left here early in the week to go to Los Angeles, to assist in the prosecution of Smith. The dis trict attorney there wrote her several letters urging her to appear against Smith. and she finally consented.
 A brother of Miss Wolf, who is em. ployed at the Capital saloon here, stated yesterday that instead of the theft having been committed twelve years ago, it was only two. Since that time Miss Wolf has been spend ing her time at Pasadena and Bisbee
 The statement that Miss Wolf's mother is the original Rambna oi Helen Hunt Jackson's popular novel is incorrect. He is well acquainted with the famous authoress. and says that the real Ramona resides at San Jacinto, California.
 The capture of Smith in Los An geles happened in an unusual and acci dental manner. The other evening Detectives Murphy and Hawley were looking over some police circulars There was one giving a description of Smith and stating that a warrant had been sworn out for his arrest on March s, 1901. The next morning Murphy was on South Main street and

ter way, it seems TO the writer, is to
determine the quantity of water ap-
piled o a particular field, farm or dis
trict.
Rainfall is measured in depth over
the surface on which it falls, and
since irrigation is intended to sup
plement the natural rainfall there is
no good reason why it should not be
measured in inches, but in express
ing duty of water the foot and frac-
tons of foot are used instead. When
the quantity Of water used is stated,
it is expressed either in feet over the
surface or in acre-feet. An acre foot
is that amount of water which will
cover an acre to the depth of one
foot. In Montana the average rain
fall during the crop growing season
is over six inches. We will assume
that "a inches is added by human ef-
fort, making a total of 80 inches or
two and one-half acre feet. This is
considerable greater than the natural
supply of the humid east during the
summer season.
AT first thought, it seems easy to
ascertain the duty of water. Only
two things are necessary-the area
of land irrigated and the amount Of
water applied In actual practice it
is not SO easy. The flow of the irrl-
cation stream, ditch or canal fluctu-
ates-it is seldom the same for any
two consecutive hours of the day.
I his necessitates constant Observa-
lions at the place of measurement or
| the Introduction of scientific appar-
atus which will record every change
in volume. Then again, much de-
ponds on wnere the water used in
| irrigation is measured. If it were
conveyed in a tight pipe there would
the intake would correspond with
that delivered at the lower end. Usu-
ally the water is conveyed in an
earthen channel, and for every hun
dred miners inches diverted from the
natur stream, only sixty may be de-
'ivered, the remaining forty inches be-
ing lost along the route by seepage,
evaporation and leakage. In the re-
suits given, the duty of water under
the canals was found by measuring
the amount of water which passed
through the head gates. On each
of the field tests the water was meas
ured as it entered the highest part
of the field. The latter averaged
about Is inches in depth over the sur
face, while the former averaged
nearly forty-seven inches.
