did not go into the house, but re-
NAMED in. the brush.
Brewer appeared at the door OF the
house with shotgun and Adams at
once opened fire, the first bullet strik-
ing Brewer in the groin. Brewer tried
to shoot, but the cartridge failed to

SAN FERNANDO VALLEY
RANCHERS ARE ENJOINED
Suit Is Brought to Prevent Them
Using Water of Los Angeles River
for Irrigation Purposes.
cation Purposes.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 27.-City At
torney Mathews yesterday filed the
complaint in the injunction suit the
city is bringing against the ranchers
CT the San Fernando Valley to pro-
hibit them from using the water flow
ing in underground streams or in any
manner percolating from the Los An
geles River. The suit is one of the
biggest ever filed here. 1t affects more
than %, 900 acres of land in the valley
and sixty pumping plants are involved.
The names OF 164 defendants are
given in the complaint.
The suit does not attempt to pro-
hibit residents of the valley from using
whatever water they may require for
domestic purposes or for the watering
of livestock. These privileges are con-
coded.
The city is fighting to prevent the
use of waters of the river for large
irrigating enterprises. The complaint
sets forth that the defendants claim
adversely to the plaintiff an interest in
the paramount right to the waters of
the river and that the defendants
threaten during the irrigating season,
from May 1 to November l of each
year, and at other times they desire.
to divert the water by means of pumps
and wells.
1t is the contention of the plaintiff
that if the defendants are allowed to
do these things that large amount Of
water would never get back into the
stream.

CUTS IN STEEL PRICES.

The iron and steel situation contin-
ues unsettled and further cuts in
prices have been reported. That these
reductions have brought much addi
tional business is matter of dispute.
though several large orders for rails
and other materials have recently
been placed.
The stock market has been irregu-
lar. but it cannot be denied that spec
ulation has been characterized by a
strong undertone. In the latter part
of the week some substantial buying
of the Hartman shares, the Gould
stocks and the grangers impaired a
decidedly strong tone to the list and
there is a feeling that the early re-
turn of certain powerful railroad and
financial magnates from abroad will
be followed by important develop
ments and a broader and more active
market. The investment demand for
good securities has practically cleaned
the market of high grade bonds, and
bankers now look for investors to
give their attention to the better class
of railroad stocks.
The labor situation Is complicated
by strikes and lockouts, but these
have received little attention from the
market. The political situation is not
a marked factor and is practically ig-
nored. The war in the Orient at
tracts only passing attention and has
had little influence on price move
ments. The technical position of the
market appears to be the dominant
influence, and a scarcity of stocks is
shown by the fact that bear attacks
and bad news have failed to dislodge
holdings or to force any liquidation.
1t is an admitted fact, however, that
the public is not in the market. nor is
there any indication that it is likely
soon to become interested.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-There is lit

were to engage in rate cutting for steel
products, also of a reported hght De
tween the United States Steel Corpora
ton and the Colorado Fuel and Iron
COMPANY There were fractional de-
clines at the opening in Union Pacific
and Atchison. The leak in Canadian
Pacific was natural in view OF the
stock increase. The list steadied some
what after the early reaction. The
publication of the bank statement
showing a much smaller loss OF cash
than had been anticipated, was OF SEN
timental value, even though the state
ment was based upon the so-called sys-
tenn of declining averages. Trading be-
came rather animated in the final deal

sharing in the upward movement. The
market closed firm, with prices in some
instances better than the previous

BROKERS INDIFFERENT.

Perhaps the most conspicuous IedIuIc
of the week has been the absolute in
difference OF the market to develop
ments. which ordinarily depresses the
list. This disregard of unfavorable
factors is supposed to have reflected
confidence on the part of the banking
interests of the country. In some quar-
tiers market conditions are attributed
largely to manipulation.
The croD condition was and is the
chief point of interest, but develop
ments havei been so conflicting that
definite opinion as to the reported dam
age must be reserved until the pubi1ca-
ton of the Government report. Dam
age reports relating to spring wheat
have been less sensational, and reliable
authorities practically agree upon a
total wheat crop of 500. 900, 600 bushels,
but this will not leave any material
SURPLUS. Wheat prices toward the end
of the week made marked recessions
from those of last Monday, and it is
expected that the Government report.
due September 3. viii show that the
damage has been greatly overestimated.
Attempts to create corn crop scare
met with some success, but reliable ad-
Jury. The safety of this crop is very
important, not only from the market
standpoint. but because a large crop OF
corn is counted on to offset any damage
in wheat and provide the railroads
with a large tonnage. In reviewing the
crop conditions the conclusion is
reached that the total harvest will be
larger than that of last year, while
higher prices will naturally give the
farmer larger returns and increase the
buying powers of the Southwest.
The monotony of the money market
this week was broken by the initial
movement of currency to Western and
Southern points, also to Canada. Gu
ban exports also continued. The
movement of money from this center
is now on and the loss to the banks
will be reflected in declining reserves,
but the large holdings of the assOciat-
ed banks make any marked advance
in money rates extremely improbable.
The funds now to be drawn will be
employed in the crop sections and will
doubtless stimulate commercial activ-

A SURPRISED FOREIGNER,

A visitor from Austria was comment
ing on our political methods, accord
ing to the New York correspondence
of the Cleveland Plain Dealer, and
said: when a President steps from
such immense power, in an hours time,
to no power at all?"
He goes back to such political pow
er as all the citizens enjoy. TO that
and to no more"
There was President Cleveland, for
instance. How many offices of various
forms did he control?"
Perhaps 900 He was the head
of the army and navy. He could make
and Unmake cabinet officers. He COM
manded generals and admirals. He
could send ministers abroad. He could
move thousands of men as you move
cheSsmen on d board"
Yes" said the foreigner. And when
he left the Office what of all this re-
NAMED? What in. the line of office
giving or office getting remained to
him?'
He could vote at any election. He
mas the right to run for any office, from
President of the United States to con-
stable of Princeton. But he can Sc
cure neither places unless the vot-
ers want him. This sums up all of his
powers at present

How Tim Broke the News.

Mr.. Nolan had acquired a great rep
utation for tact, so that when Mr..
Cassidy fell from a ladder and broke
his leg it was quickly decided by all
the workmen that Mr.. Nolan should
bear the tidings to Mrs. Cassidy, says
the Youths Companion.
He broke the news gradual" said
Mr.. Leahy to his wife that night, and
by the time she learned the truth she
was as cam as a clock, they say Oh,
he's the great man, is Timothy Nolan!"
How did he do it?" asked Mrs.
Leahy, impatiently.
Like this" said Mr.. Nolan's admir-
er. He wint to the house and rang
the bell, and he says, Thin Dinnis is
not dead, Mrs. Cassidy, or you'd niver
be so gay lookin'.
Dead, she screeches. Who said
he was dead?
Thin it's not true he's near to dy-
my Nolan, or you'd niver be lookin' so
amazed.
Smallpox she cries. Has he got
the smallpox Jimmy Nolan, and been
tux to the hospital widout me sayin'
goodby to him?''
Sure an he has not said Jimmy

that he broke a few bones in his leg,

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Cleveland Plain Dealer (Dem.)
says: Make no mistake. In a clear
issue between Republicanism and gen
uine Democracy there will be a gen
eral rally of believers in Democratic
principles to their party standard. Ia
the contest is to be one between the
Republican party under Roosevelt and
the Democratic party under an un-
safe leader. with the Democratic flag
defaced with Populistic designs, even
Roosevelt is likely to be preferred by
more Democrats than supported Nc
Kinley against Bryan"
The Louisville Courier Journal (Dem.)
says: Not long ago the nominee for
the vice presidency on the Republican
ticket was to be an Indiana man, be-
cause Indiana was recognized as doubt
full; now they are looking to an IL
iinois man, because illinois is
recognized as doubtful. Clearly
so many states are recognized as
doubtful now that nothing could meet
the emergency short of plural Vice
Presidents. And why not have plural
Vice Presidents? A bakers dozen of
them of the caliber of our usual nomi-
rees for the vice presidency would not
make more than one fullsized Presi-
dent"
The Memphis Commercial-Appeal
(Dem.) says III Mr.. Bryan would
accept the judgment of the party as
pronounced in its national convention,
and would earnestly strive for its
success, he could be of immense serv-
ice to 1t. But he allows his personal
vanity to stand before everything else
and he considers his personal opin
ions the ultimate residuum of truth
and wisdom. He is addicted exclusive
~ to the worship of me and the sue
cess of the Democratic party seems
to be entirely immaterial to him. I'm
der the circumstances if he withdraws
from the party 1t will certainly be for
his party's good"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem )
says: Almost with his dying breath
Mckinley sought to lead his party out
of the protective blind alley into which
ii had marched under his leadership.
There was a warranted expectation
that President Roosevelt would glad
" push on in the direction indicat-
ed by his martyred predecessor. But
in his anxiety for a second term he
has swallowed his convictions and con-
cluded to stand pat I'm the good
~ company OF the protected trusts
and monopolies. Ohio and Iowa beck
on him on The Democracy will glad
~ accept the gage of battle thrown
down TO il. The party could not ask
a clearer issue or a fairer field Of COM
