JUSTICE Is DISPENSED.

The court replied that that was ex-
actly the case, but the matter should
be presented in proper form.
When asked why she had taken any
part in the proceedings, Mrs. Center
said she was a stockholder in the COM
pany, but now her interest had no
marketable value. She was undecided
whether she would take the advice Of
the court regarding the filing of an
affidavit She left the room and the
case proceeded.
During the hearing Attorney Heney
read extracts from the affidavit of L. j.
lie Conte, the we'll known expert enEi-
neer. Mr.. lie Conte estimated the value
Of the company's property some time
ago and prepared a pamphlet in detail
and placed the amount at S6,456. 1886.
Those figures he did not believe would
cover the value now, as there had been
many improvements and additional
holdings secured since he made his re-
port.

FIGURES ARE SUBMITTED.

Jacob Barth, the stock broker, sub
mitted an affidavit showing the fluctu-
ations of the stock of the Contra Costa
Water Company for a number of years.
Heney read the various figures which
demonstrated that in 1899 the stock had
been quoted at from S79 to $64. but that
now it was down to $35, all of which was
due to the antagonism shown by the
Oakland Council in the matter of fix
ing rates for this year.
After a mass of figures had been
read and the present members of the
Oakland Council accused in an affi-
davit of trying TO ruin the company
for political reasons. the case was con-
tinued until next Wednesday to enable
the attorneys to secure affidavits.
This morning the Spring Valley
Water Company's application. which is
a similar case, will be heard.
OAKLAND, June 9.-At a meeting
of the City Council this evening action
was taken authorizing the Mayor and
City Attorney to procure the affidavits
of experts employed by the Council in
gathering figures upon which it ar
rived at a valuation of the Contra
Costa Water Company's plant.
This action is made necessary by the
suit begun by the water company ask
ing for a restraining order to prevent
the Council from putting into effect
the rates adopted. The affidavits are
TO meet the figures c'ibmitteC by the
water company's experts.

SAYS STOCK is RUINED

There was a little surprise in the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals
yesterday during the hearing OF the
case of the Contra Costa Water Com
pany, which is seeking to restrain the
city of Oakland from putting into ef-
feet lower water rates after July 1.
While Attorney Heney was reading
certain figures on behalf of the water
company he was nudged by Mrs.
Jeanie d. Center Of 2116 Bush street,
who quietly requested him to give way
to her for a moment. Heney acqul-
esced and the lady said:
If it please your Honor, Woulo
like to address the court at this time,
as the figures which are being quoted
are not correct. for it is fact that in
stead of the stock being worth $3S now
it is not worth anything and has no
standing"
Judge Gilbert interrupted and said
that if she desired to make any state
ment 1t would be better to file an am
davit setting forth the facts she would
like to have the court learn.
We'll your Honor" she said, I un-
derstood you>to say yesterday that you
wanted all the information you could
get and 1 supposed this was a court OF
justice where the injured could present
their side of the matters involved.

Cripple Creek, Colo, June 13.-The
disorder throughout the DISCREET re-

outrage at Independence in which
over twenty men were killed and

agreement prepared by the citizens
alliance not to employ help Of any
kind that is in any way connected
with the district trades assembly, or
the state federation of labor, the
American Labor union or the Western

organization.
This agreement of the proprietors
has caused CONSERVATION among the
clerks and employees in shops and

This warfare against unions as at
present organized and associated will
be extended, the organizers of the
movement say, to every city and town
in the district.

MINERS OFFICIAL ORGAN SPEAKS
And Was Wrecked by Armed Men the
Same Day,

Victor, Colo, June 1o.-The Record,
owned and edited by George E. Kyner
and recognized as the official organ of
the Western Federation of Miners in
the Cripple Creek District, published
an editorial urging the miners to call
off the strike which was inaugurated'
ten months ago. The article admits
shat if the strike had not been called
and continued so long these dyuami-
tings would not have occurred and in
that respect the strike is responsible
for this outrage, whether there was
justice in the calling of it or not"
Immediately after the Record was
issued containing the matter as above
eight unknown armed men entered the
Office and wrecked it. The Office force
was directed to leave the district. The
Office was complete and a valuable
