Courts
INDEPENDENCE,

Nov 20.-Temporarily ending
hostilities between the Owens
Valley ranchers and Los An
geles, residents of the valley
who opened the waste gates of
the aqueduct today closed them
again and permitted the stream
to return to the canal.
The ranchers relaxed in their
stand upon the arrival here ear
ly today of telegram from w.
w. Waterson, Bishop banker,
advising the besiegers to re-
Il turn to their homes and await
the outcome of further negoti-
ations with the city.
Many of the 200 or more men
who have been encamped Mt > the
waste gates since Sunday were still
there during the morning, watching
the water pour back into its form
er channel. They seemed loath to
leave the spot where they had stag
ed their protest.
1t was estimated that the water
would reach the Haiwee reservoir,
which holds a large portion of the
Los Angeles supply, before night
fall.
Leaders of the rancLers band held
a conference in the control hut at
the gates after receiving Water
son 5 telegram. They agreed that
the valley plight has been brought
to attention of the entire state and
voted to accept the bankers assur
anee that satisfactory settlement
may be expected.
The barbecue planned fol- this
noon will be held as scheduled. The
women are continuing preparations
for the meal and it will be one of
rejoicing.
