ing fro mthc river beds and spread
it over the iowlands. This would
not only raise the level of the
lands but would cover them with
rich layers of soil.
The mining companies would be
required to carry on the work in
connection with their mining, there
by eliminating the objections rails
ed by farmers back in the carly
eighties whose lands were flooded
because the silt from the hydraulic
mines raised the beds of the rivers.
An extensive survey of the situa-

dorsement of some of the leading
engineers of the country, he stated

TWO CASES OF
GREAT INTEREST
ACTED ON TODAY
Judge Willis Sitting in
Local Court Makes
Decisions

Sustaining the demurrer of the
Imperial Irrigation district in the
redivision suit brought by four
ranchers, Judge Willis held today
that there were not sufficient
grounds for action included in the
testimony of the plaintiffs in the
trial in superior court this morn
ing.
The action was brought against
the directors of the irrigation dis
trict following the re-divisioning
of the district several months ago.
1t was alleged that the changes
were made without due considera-
tion of the voters in the district.
Attorney Harry Horton argued for
the plaintiffs in the case which ap-
peared on the court docket as "Mc-
Kim VS.. Imperial Irrigation Dis
trict. -
A second case in which William
Brandenburg sought to enjoin the
district from moving the offices
and plant headquarters from Calex-
leo to Imperial resulted this morn
ing in court order temporarily
restraining the progress of Ythe
moving until the ease can be tried.
The date of the hearing will be set
on Tuesday morning in Superior
court. Ault and Anderson appear
ed for Brandenburg and put up q
bond of $500.
Before Judge Willis
| The cases came before Judge
Willis yesterday afternoon and
We're continued this morning.
Attorney Roberts of the firm
of Childers and Roberts, appeared
for the district in the absence of
Attorney Childers, who has been in
Sacramento in the interests of the
Finney reservation fight. The dis
trict, through Attorney Roberts,
moved yesterday to have the eases
postponed until the return of At
torney Childers, but the motion was
rejected by the court and the hear
| ings proceeded.
The district has already consum-
lmated the larger portion of the
steps in the removal of the head
quarters to Imperial where directors
say Il greater degree of efficiency
in serving the citizens can be Sc
cured.
Judge Willis of Los Angeles is
sitting in Judge Conkling's court
as the local judge was disqualified
for hearing the cases.

Dies were found in a gas flooded

ing murdered Skelly and he was
taken TO Hartford fer trial.
Chapman protested his innocence.
lie said he knew Shean but that
he was not with him the night of
the murder. He was con fined in
jail practically incommunicado, but
he retained attorneys and planned
TO fight the murder charge, which
to him meant probably the gallows.
The ease went to trial March "a.
Shean Gives Evidence
The state relied chiefly on the
testimony of Walter Shean, who de-
ciared that Chapman was his COM
panion in the robbery and that it
was Chapman who did the shooting.
The remainder of the states case
was a strong circumstantial fabric
which included expert testimony
that the bullet which killed Skelly
bore the marks of having been fir
ed with Chapman g gun.
The defense offered an alibi,
bringing witnesses to show that
Chapman was in Brooklyn and New
York the night Of the murder.
Then it climaxed its case with Chap
mans personal testimony in which
he made forceful and categorical
denial Of all charges against him.
When the verdict was given by
Samuel s. Chamberlain, the ban
dit showed no trace of emotion.
