Become City's
Property
San Francisco Supervis-
ors Take Drastic
Action
Long Legal Fight In Court Is Anticl-
pated, as the Property Is Worth
from 100000 to
$53.ooo,ooo

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2S-The long
and spirited contest to secure cheaper
water rates for San Francisco culmi-
mated in drastic action tonight, when
the board of supervisors, after three
hours of warm debate, adopted reso-
luton declaring the franchises and
works of the Spring Valley Water COM
pany-variously estimated to be worth
from $27,O0O0OO to $4,000, 0,00O-forfeited
and escheated to the city and county of
San Francisco for the public use and
benefit.
Before the seized franchises and
property, however, could actually be
taken from possession OF the company
due process of law would have to issue
from the courts, SO that the adoption
Of the resolution takes the effect of a
declaration on the part Of the board of
supervisors Of an intention to institute
Water company of its property.
At hearing before the supervisors
which was preliminary to the establish
ment of the legal water rates for the
year beginning July l. 1907, officers of
the company testified that the company
was still charging its patrons under the
schedule of 1902, which is 25 per cent
higher than the schedule established by
the supervisors for 1906,
The latter schedule was, at tonight's 3
meeting, re-established and the super
visors then, acting by authority of Sec
ton /, article IA of the constitution of
California, declared the forfeiture and
escheatment. The Spring Valley Water
company is now in the courts fighting
the ordinance by which the 1906 sched-
ule of rates was established.

PRISONER
IS FINALLY CAUGHT
Chase Covering Months Ends In Des-
ert Camp, Where Much-Wanted
Man Is Prosperous
Merchant
BY Associa ted Press.

BY Associated Press.
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 28.-After
a chase covering months Lee Redwin,
former deputy constable of Phoenix, was
captured this afternoon at Goffs, a des-
ert station in this county, by Deputy
Sheriff Williams of ella Bend. Red
win had been conducting store there
under the name of John Smith.
Redwin had been an official in good
standing at Phoenix several years, but
in November was arrested for extorting
money on bond.
Pleading guilty, he was fined 100 days
In jail Redwin was given the freedom
of the sheriff's office and a few days
later Deputy Sheriff williams came
In from Gila Bend, depositing for a
few minutes in the office closet a valise
containing $1175 in gold coin.
Returning for the valise Sheriff will
liams found both coin and Redwin miss
ing, and all trace OF the culprit was
lost until he was located today at Goffs
as John Smith, a prosperous merchant.
A tragic feature Of Redwin's disap-
pearance was the suicide OF Sheriff
Walker because he was unable Ia
stand the criticism for allowing Red
win the freedom of the office.

NEGRO ATTEMPTS
A FELONIOUS
ASSAULT
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 28.-All
Barstow is out on a man-hunt because
of a startling crime committed at 80
this morning, by an unidentified negro
who crawled into tent house occupied
by the family of M. r. Roy, section
foreman, and made desperate attempt
to criminally assault the foreman s
wife.
Mrs. Roy was awakened by the cold
barrel of a revolver pressed against her
head, negro at the same time COM
manding silence.
The fellows voice aroused the hus-
band, who gave battle, but the negro
succeeded in forcing a barley sack over
the husbands head.
Mrs. Roy in the meantime jumped
from a window.
Disconnected by this move, the assail-
ant loosened his grip on the husband.
He also took a flyer through the win
dow. The negro rushed to the door,
calling loudly to confederates to fix the
fleeing couple, and several shots were
exchanged.
The night watchman and Deputy
Sheriff Smithson took the trail and fol-
lowed it across the Santa Fe bridge,
where all trace was lost.
Sheriff Ralphs and posse also have
taken up the manhunt. Should the
negro be found hemp awaits him If the
fellow can be located before the sheriff
lands him.

rest as a result Of a free fight in a
Third avenue saloon today.
Michael Gallo, the dead man, is said

loud talk and a great deal of con-
fusion. Suddenly there was a shot,
followed by regular fusillade, and in
a moment the room was so filled with
smoke that it was impossible to sec
anything.
When the police reached the place
they found Gallo dead with four bullets
in his body.
Five more bullet holes were found
ir the walls of the back room. Zim-
norman and Indorf were arrested soon
afterward.

SPAN|ARDS SAY
WAR WAS GRAF 7
Publish Story TO the Effect That Palma
Gave Senators Bonds to De-
clare War Against
Spain
By Associated Press

By Associated Press.
MADRID, Feb. 28.-A sensation has
been caused here by the publication of
a story credited to the Diaro de La
Mariana of Havana which purports to
show by documentary evidence that
the United States congress was bought
in 1897 by Tomas Estrada Palma to in
sure war being declared against Spain.
According to Havana newspaper, bonds
to the value Of 100000. redeemable
when Cuba should become independent,
were issued to Washington senator's,
and a contract exists which contains
phraseology like that Of the joint reso-
luton of April, 1898. voted by congress.
The article says further that the value
of the bonds fell heavily in 1899, and
therefore a new contract was made
between Palma and the American SEN
ators. Count Salazar, minister of for
eign affairs, has telegraphed to the
Spanish representative at Washington
for the fullest information.

are entitled to free entry into the United
States is agitating the olive growers

sent kilograms to the members Of the
California delegation in congress ap-
pealing to them that active steps be
taken to sustain the collector at New
York.
They have been advised to send spe-
cial counsel to Washington to present
their case Pending the final decision
of the appeal the duty assessed by the
government continues to be levied until
the case shall have finally been dis
posed Of.
