held from the police court upon a
charge of assaulting his wife, Malinda
Williams. with intent to commit mur-
der, was called for arraignment yester-
day, Williams was not present, in Gus
tody or otherwise.
Investigation showed that February
Z, two weeks before the case had been
assigned TO Judge Lawlor. but subse-
quent to the holding of the defendant
TO trial from the police court, Judge
Cabaniss had dismissed the case on a
writ of habeas corpus.
Notwithstanding the dismissal of the
case by Judge Cabaniss, Judge Lawlor
yesterday directed the sheriff to pro-
duce Williams in court this morning
if he car be found.
The testimony which induced Judge
Cabaniss to discharge the defendant
from custody was that of the wife, Ma :
linda Williams, the complaining wit
ness, who stated that she would not
testify against her husband upon trial.

Spring Valley Propositions

1t was accepted as true yesterday
that the two new corporations, the
CITY and Suburban water company and
the City and Suburban realty company,
were Spring Valley propositions. The
officials of the company, however, have
decided to wait before making any an
nouncement on the subject. President
Bourn of Spring Valley had nothing
new to offer yesterday and his subor-
dinates maintained discreet silence.
The stock market was eloquent, how
ever, and the Spring Valley shares ad-
vanced three points to $49. Trading
was active and the stock received un-
usual attention.
1t is known that Bourn has for some
time cherished the hope that he might
be able to open for settlement the Lake
Merced ranch. 1t consists of $500
acres lying partly in San Francisco
and partly in San Mateo county. In
addition there are $1,000 acres of water

Wants to Force Purchase

Hammond has followed closely all
the negotiations in connection with San
Francisco's Sierra supply. He suggest
ed several years ago that the city pur
chase his holdings and has consistently
waged a campaign to that end.
The report was also revived yester-
day that the water power interests had
renewed their campaign of opposition.
BY strange coincidence the John Hays
Hammond interests have been repre-
sented by the attorney for the San
Francisco gas and electric company in
the person of w. B. Bosley. 1t was
Bosley who sought greater rights in
the federal domain for Hammond's s
Sierra ditch and water company.
The city authorities will make no
reply to Ballinger until they receive
through the mails the letter in which
they are ordered TO show cause. When
that missive arrives it is stated that a
conference will be called to thrash over
the situation.
