STEALS HORSE, TRIES
TO CHANGE U. S. BRAND
Well Known Resident of Tehachapi Is
Arrested on Charge of Taking
an Army Captains
Mount
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
BAKERSFIELD, Aug. ia. Esponda.
a well known resident of Tehachapi, was
brought to Bakersfield today and taken
before United States Commissioner Tup-
min and charged with stealing valuable
United States cavalry horse. Detection
was accomplished through the attempt to
obliterate the United States brand on the
animals flank.
The crime which Esponda is alleged to
have committed occurred May Z, 1906, when
a freight train containing, among other
stock, a troop of cavalry horses was
wrecked on the Tehachapi mountain near
Keene. While the track was being re-
paired the horses were turned out TO
Craze and eleven disappeared. Ten of
the animals were soon found, but the
eleventh, handsome brown horse, the
property of the captain of the troop, was
apparently lost.
Constable Williams of Tehachapi took
up the case, and recently the animal was
located in the possession of a Southfork
farmer, who admitted purchasing the
horse from Esponda. An attempt had
been made to obliterate the ~. s. brand
on the flank by transforming the ''S'
into an "S' and the ''U'' into three bars
The brand was an unknown one in the
territory The preliminary examination
was set for August 20.

SPRING VALLEY COMPANY
AT PEACE WITH THE CITY
Water Corporation That Supplies San
Francisco Reaches Agreement
with the Municipal
Authorities
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug 16-The Spring
Valley Water company has agreed to
build pipe line from Baden to Ocean
View to connect with the San Andres
reservoir, and thus relieve the water stu
alton of this city. This announcement
was made today at the meeting between
the bondholders of the company, Mayor
Taylor, a committee of the board of SUI
pervisors and James D. Phelan. Supervis-
ors Magee and Sullivan are the members
of the committee.
The water company representatives were
assured that the resolution passed by the
late board will be rescinded. This resolu-
tion declared forfeited to the city all the
property and rights of the Spring Valley
because the company did not adhere to
the lower water rates, and secured an in
injunction restraining the city from en-
forcing them while it continued to levy
the higher rate.
At the close of the session Mayor Taylor
said that entire harmony prevailed in the
adjustment of the matter. He said that
the city should and in time would own it's
own water system.

DARK-HUED VILLAIN
PROSECUTOR SCORES SAN FRAN
CISCO MILLIONAIRE
Land Fraud Trial Is EnIivened by the
Bitter Denunciation of One
Of the Defend
ants

BY Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-United
States District Attorney A. P. Black
argued before Judge De Haven this
morning in an endeavor to show the jury
that DIR. Perrin and John A. Benson,
millionaires, conspired to defraud the
government in securing valuable timber
land in Tehama county.
A map of Tehama county with colored
sections showing the holdings of Perrin
and those applied for in dummy applica-
tions was produced and referred to
throughout the argument. Back showed
the jury the land covered by the appli-
cation of Richison, the Oakland bar
tender, who did not even know the char
acter of the document which he signed,
and later produced the non-mineral af-
fdavit purporting to come from Richi-
son. but which in reality he said was sent
by Benson.
Pointing dramatically to Benson, Black
said vehemently: This document shows
on its face that that man sitting at the
end of the table there has been guilty of
the blacklist of crimes and would stop
at nothing to carry out his nefarious
schemes"
At the afternoon session Peter F.
Dunno made the closing argument for
Benson and DR.. Perrin. He devoted most
of his attention to refuting statements
made by Charles P. Smell, the govern
ment's star witness. In the course of his
remarks he referred to Smell as court
liar and a government hireling. Assistant
United States District Attorney Black
will again speak for the prosecution to-
morrow morning.

DISASTROUS BLAZE
Ranchers and Farm Hands Respond
to Call for Help and Big Force
Is Fighting the
Flames
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press
BAKERSFIELD, Aug 16.-On the Teha-
chapi mountain fierce grass fire is blaz-
ing being caused by a spark from a
Southern Pacific freight engine which was
sidetracked at Caliente, small station on
the mountain division of the railroad.
The blaze started on the Rankin territory
at the junction of the Caliente and Te-
hachapi creeks and was soon beyond con-
troll
Ranchers and farmhands responded to
general alarm, but even the big force
of men fighting by backfring could pre-
vent the progress of the flames very little,
and this afternoon more than thirty Sec
tions of 10000 acres of rich grazing land
we'll stocked with cattle had been burned
over.
The fire is now opposite Keene, in the
rugged mountains, and travelling east and
north and in the direction of the rich
Tehachapi valley. Fire fighters arrived
by horseback and railroad this afternoon
to swell the ranks of the fighters. The
principal losers SO far are the Kern
County Land company, w. Rankin and
P. ]. Omera. Unless the flames are
checked soon the property of the cattle
men, Kerr, Wolsey and Flanagan, will
be damaged.

FOREIGNERS HINDER
FIGHT ON OPIUM
Crusade Against Chinese Dealers Is
Opposed by Business interests
in Open Ports of ORR
entail Empire
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated PreSs
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-An unexpected
result of the apti-opium crusade in China
has been the friction engendered between
the Chinese authorities and the humapi-
tarians who have been working with
them to stamp out the hateful practice of
opium smoking on the one hand and the
residents and business interests in the
wealthy foreign concessions in the open
port cities of China on the other
1t appears that considerable amount
of money is realized from the tax on the
opium traffic and applied to the mainten-
ance of the settlements. In the case of
Shanghai by treaty the receipts from the
opium tax are set apart for the use of
the Shanghai conservancy, the board
charged with maintenance of the channel
in the river Huangpu.
The foreign element is not disposed to
surrender this source of revenue until an.
ether is provided, and 1t is held that this
can be accomplished only by another
treaty Meanwhile the anti-opium cru
saders are loud in their demands that the
opium shops in the foreign quarter shall
be closed as were those in the Chinese
part of the city.

BERLIN, Aug. 16-A convention of
1900 wine growers met yesterday at Oel-
rich on the Rhine and adopted resolu-
ton advocating a speedy revision of the
wine laws. The reforms demanded in
clude uniform system of government
inspection of wine cellars. A recent visit
to the Rheinish wine region developed
the fact that the wines which are favor
ties with the American ppubAc are often
falsely labeled by exporters. 1t was
specifically stated on the best authority
that there is much more of the so-called
Niersteiner exported to the United States
than is produced at Niersteins.
One authority said: almost no gen.
uine Niersteiner goes to the United
states" adding that the exporters
trust to American lack of experiences
with wines to escape detection"
