'AQ()ED()CT
IS AGAIN
ATTACKED
Two More Attempts Made
to Wreck Structure
With Dynamite.
SECONDONE SERIOUS
Details Meager Because
of Isolation of Points
Damaged

LES ANGELES, July 16.-An.
other chapter in the bitter Owens
valley water feud was written late
last night and early today when
dynamiters set off heavy blasts at
two widely separated points along
the Los Angeles aqueduct, accord
ing to reports received here.
The second blast, the most seri-
Gus one, occurred about 1880 a. IN.
eight miles north of independence
and was reported to have torn a.
way the water gates, wrecking the
canal tor some distance. The point
of attack is in remote section of
the hills of lnyo county and water
power bureau officials here were
without details.
The first explosion was reported
at Tuttle creek shortly before mid
night. Part of a concrete lined
canal was blasted away, but offic-
ials announced that the damage was
slight. following L tour of inspee'
ton at that point.
The latest blast marked the ninth
and tenth attempt to destroy the
265 mile water system that extends
from the Mountain lakes of lnyO
county to the city of Los Angeles,
carrying the water supply for more
than million people.
Officers Under Arrest
The attacks are attributed by of
ficials of the bureau of water and
power here to disgruntled ranchers
Of Owens valley who claim they
were never fully compensated for
the damage to their farms and
homes caused by the building Of the
aqueduct.
Major E. Percy Watson, ex-army
officer and explosives expert, was
arrested recently in the valley and
taken to Contra Costa county
where he faces trial on charges Of
illegally transporting high explo,
sives into lnyo county.
Meanwhile the Inyo county grand
Jury has started an investigation
and will resume session July 81, as
which time certain members of the
Los Angeles bureau of water and
power will be asked to reveal the
knowledge they may have concern
ing the outrages.
AS the scene of the most serious
blast, above Independence. is in a
remote district, officials here were
unable to learn definite details con-
corning the attack and no arrests
have been made.
