Tn Wedding

Monday evening, November 21th the residence of Mir. and Mrs. W. F. Overton, on Sonoita avenue was the scene of very pleasant and heartily enjoyed social gathering in commemoration of the tenth an- niversary of the genial host and fair hostess, large and brilliant assemblage greeting them ana wishing them many happy returns of the occasion. The array of use ful and valuable articles made from tin which were presented the couple was inspected with no small interest and relish by the guests of the evening.
 The festivities were inaugurated by a marriage ceremony Tn which the happy couple renewed thelrf nliqhted troths, Mir. H. M. Chap man Ca member of the cloth by ln- heritance) performing the binding ceremony, which was unique, orl- ginal and amusing, the joint work of MT. and Mrs. Overton. After the ceremony trio of gentlemen, Messrs. W. R. Sprecher, Bracey Curtis and E. l.. Crowell, sang an original ballad devoted to the re cently united pair That over the company were speedily engrossed in the ever popular game of Five Hundred. One of the attractive features was the decoration of the score cards, each having one or two engrayings or drawings suggestive of the calling, profession, business or some amusing personal peculiar ity or fad of the player to whom lt belonged. The card of THE OASIS man had Cupid writing with a feathered quill taller than himself; and upon the reverse was an old fashioned bell ringer ringing an alarm. The conceit was original and appropriate, and the same may be said of all the rest. Mr. and Mrs. OvertoI, are entitled to .commendation for the originality of the idea and the charm of Its ex. ecution.
 When the prizes were announced it was stated that Messrs. l. Bur goon and H. N. Baker had tied fol the first, with scores of 2250 each and they cut the cards to decide Mr. Baker being the lucky contest ant.
 The prizes were awarded as fol lows:
 Ladies: First prize, Mrs l Burgoon, with score of 225O second, Mrs. H. NJ. Chapman, witf 1880; first consolation Mrs. A. A Doherty, with thirty; second, Mrs Kennedy, 190.
 Gentlemen: First prize, Mir Baker, 24S0; second, Dr. A. A Doherty, 1850; first consolation Dr. l.. T. Bristol, with l90; second Mr. NJ. NJ. Mastellar, 2l0 For tht latter there was also tie with Mir F. w. Amsden, and in the throv off Mir. Mastellar won.

LOS ANGELES AVOIDS HOLD-UP
Might Have Paid $26,4oo More Than
the Value of Voting
Machines

If City Clerk Lelande has the right
information on the subject of voting
machines, Los Angeles might have paid
Sz6,4OO more than the legitimate price.
Lelande said: Il have written to
many eastern cities to ascertain the
cost and selling price of a standard
voting machine and the most relia ble
information that l have been able to
gather is to the effect that the hest
voting machine on the market can he
bought for $3.50 each. and if that be the
case don't see any reason why Los
Angeles should pay 500 for it,
Il have never been able to see why n
city should be obliged to pay four or
five times more for the supplies that it
buys than any private corpora tions
would be obliged to pay
mo corporation which Is run in the
interests of the stockholders and not
Of the supply company from which il
buys supplies would for one moment
think of letting any supply company
hold them up for eXorbitant prices.
"A great many people look upon the
city government as the easiest graft
in the world, and in many cities that
Is the case. But in Los Angeles we
don't want to have that condition
arise"
No further action has been taken
upon the voting machine proposition
and 1t is not at all likely that they
will be purchased until it is demon
strated that they cannot be had for
less than $500 each.

taking, the water plane would be so
reduced that neither the city nor the
defendants would, after few years,
get any water at all. Further, that
the city is entitled to all the water on
a gravity flow.
4" No proof that the river flows under
lands of defendants sac
The proof is sufficient.
No proof where the river ex-
tends.
Upon this question I am not al
together clear, except upon one point,
and that is that these defendants are
within the exterior limits of the Los
Angeles river and for the purpose of
this motion, proof is sufficient.
Toward the west, no banks: no
river in any reasonable and natural
sense
Denies Nonssuit Motion
This river either starts near the En-
cino ranch or in the big Tejunga; and,
of course If at the Encino ranch, there
could be no west banks; and, If in the
Tejunga, as it seems to me at the
present time, the question is more diff
hcult, and l confess not to be entirely
satisfied
duced the river
"The evidence is sufficient.
1T appears that the defendants
water comes from rain falling in the
mountains and upon government land.
Il cannot see how it is material to
the defendants where the water comes
from so long as they do not furnish it.
While it has crept into this case that
1t is the city's intention to acquire a
large body of water, it in fact has
nothing to do with this case; for it
may be many years to come before it's
use can be had in this city. And the
strenuous plea made in this case that
the city has now no need of more water
than Is furnished by the Los Angeles
river to it does not appeal to me.
1T is very difficult, gentlemen, for
this court to pass upon the true eoui-
ties of the case, only having heard
one side of it; and it does not seem to
me that you should call upon me to ex-
press an opinion. All that I can ex-
press an opinion upon is upon the mo-
tion for non-suit as presented and the
points passed upon; and it seemed to
me that you, gentlemen, were entitled
to my views as so expressed; the mo-
tion for non-suit will be denied"
