RIGHT TO USE OF WATER
TO BE TESTED IN SUIT
Action Brought Is of Vital Importance
to Stockmen West of MojaVe
River

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 2S.-The
privileges enjoyed for many years by
stockmen in the country west of the
Mojave river are at stake in suit
now pending in the superior court. w.
H. Robinson and JIG. Bennette have
brought suit to enjoin James B. Bledsoe
from claiming any interest in the Flow
ing Wells place. Bledsoe yesterday
filed his answer, which discloses that a
most bitter feeling has prevailed be-
tween the men for some time, and that
the wells in question have been the
scene Of many contentious.
There are eight wells in the group,
and being in an unpopulated region,
formed a common watering place where
stock of various people was allowed to
Craze unrestricted as on a public do
main. Through various transactions
Robinson and Bennette now claim title
to the wells and land.

NEWBERT PROTECTION
DISTRICT BONDS VALID
Stipulation Is Signed Which Settles
Matter That Has Been In Courts
for Several Years

SANTA ANA. Jan. 2S-The fight
against the Newbert protection district
is ended. The attorneys engaged in
the contest yesterday signed a sitpula-
tion by which judgment was entered in
the second appellate court affirming the
Judgment and order entered in the SUI
perior court of this county upholding
the legality of the formation of the dis
trict and the validity of its bonds, thus
settling two of three cases in which
these points were contested. One of
these. the case OF e. E. Keech against
County Treasurer j. c. Joplin, was set
tied several weeks ago by a decision of
the supreme court which upheld the
legal status of the district. The stipu-
ation settlement of yesterday resulted
from the supreme court decision, as the
three cases covered practically the
same ground.
The Newbert protection district It'll
cation began several years ago, shortly
after a, bill authorizing the establish
rnent of district for the control of the
Santa Ana river in the lowlanGs west OF
this city had been passed by the legls-
latIlre. In spite of some opposition, the
district was organized and bonds for
S1S5, 900 were voted for the purpose OF
making a channel for the river and the
building of jetties into the ocean some
where between NeWpotI DSoci diie'
Huntington Beach. Litigation involV-
ing the legality of the formation of the
district and of it's bonds ensued, and as
n CONSEQUENCE nCne of the bonds was
sold. Work. however, was proceeded
with on the improvement of the river
channel and the protection of the low
lands, the ranchers and others assum-
ing the responsibility of expense until
such time as the points in litigation
should be decided. Now that the case
is clearly decided in favor of the dis
trict. the bonds will be put on the mar
llet either in whole or in part

fully in the valley, entering the L. A.
Dearmond secondhand store at Cotton
and taking wagon load of loot, in
Guiding 500 boxes of shells and a num-
ber of rifles, revolvers and razors, with

city, taking a large amount of stock.
Several robberies have occurred at Riv-
erside. where large quantities of goods
We're taken from stores and carried off

each instance to carry off the loot. The
