CITIZEN OF RIVERSIDE
is FINED FOR ASSAULT

RIVERSIDE, May 3.-Eugene F..
Binder, a we'll known citizen, was
sentenced to pay a fine of $100 in JUS
tice Stephenson's court today on a
charge of assault preferred by w. 5.
Nimms. The latter offended by stalk
ing his COW in the vicinity of Binders
property on Vine street. Binder first
let the COW loose, and when Nimms re-
turned with the bovine he was well
coined by threats and by a shower of
tobacco juice.
Ninms held the defendant at bay
with a hammer, and thus managed
automatically to make his escape. A
few days later Nimms drove by the
Binder place and was attacked a sec
ond time, Binder welding a long
handled spade with telling effect about
Nimms' head and shoulders. A thick
felt hat, according to the attending
physician, was the only thing that pre-
vented fracture of the skull.

ginning June / the price of gas will be
raised 25 per cent, or from 81 to $1.25

LARGER EXCESS RATE
TO BE RECOMMENDED
CHARGES FOR WATER TO BE
FIXED AT H0LL WOOD
Committee Appointed by City Truss
tees Will Report in Favor of In
creasing Price for More
Than 5000 Gallons

HOLLYWOOD, May AT the
meeting of the city trustees tomorrow
evening the committee which has been
investigating the properties of the Hol-
lyWood Union Water company in order
to make a recommendation to the city
trustees as to the water rate for the
year beginning July 1 will make its re-
port, with its recommendation. A
meeting of the citizens of Hollywood
has been called to listen to the report
OF the committee, and the invitation
viii likely have a large response.
The committee was appointed about
two months ago and consists of the
city trustees, Mayor George H. Dun
lop, and Messrs. Harry Gordon, H. G..
Vickroy, John Dick and George Lash
ley; the presidents of the two banks,
John Law and DR.. e. o. Palmer, and
two members of the board of trade, E.
c. Hampton and Thomas F. Cooke.
The co1hlittee has taken an inven-
tory of the company's goods and will
recommend that the rates be raised on
the excess charge. The present rates
are $3.50 for 1000 gallons, with 10 cents
a thousand in excess of 5000 gallons.
The committee recommends that the
company be allowed 1615 cents thou
sand over 5000 gallons.
The report is signed by seven of the
members of the committee, Trustees
Lashley and Dick refusing to give their
sanction. They say that the present
rate is adequate, as it will allow the
water company per cent on its in
vestment if the increase in the amount
of water used is normal during the
coming year.
Confer with Officials
When the inventory was taken a
committee composed of Messrs. Lash
ley, Dunlop and Hampton was ap-
pointed to confer with the representa-
tives of the water company, President
Huyler and Manager Wern, and to Of
fer a rate of 16 cents on the excess,
providing that the water main on
Prospect avenue by renewed. 1t is said
that the water company seemed sat
isfied with the rate and limited that If
the rate was made permanent until
the Owens river water reached here it
would renew the main, which is said to
have been satisfactory to the sub
committee.
At the next meeting of the whole
committee Messrs. Huyler and Wern
appeared, and, it is said, asserted that
they should have a higher rate, as the
pipe line on Prospect avenue had been
appraised as of no value on account of
the great expense that is required of
the city in keeping it in repairs and
from the great loss of water for which
the city has to pay The committee
then agreed to recommend a rate of
1914 cents.
The reports of the meetings of the
water committees will be read at the
meeting tomorrow evening, when Mr.
Lashley and Mr. Dick will ask that the
details Of each be given, with the votes
on each motion. They say that 1T
might have been possible to have
held the company to the present rates,
and they wish the people to know how
theY voted.
