6 THE COURTS. An Opinion in the Case of Gamier vs. Porter. It Is Settled by a Supreme Court Decision. Other Matters Acted Upon Yesterday in the Courts. A Land Company SueU-Interesting Cases Which Were Considered—Notes and Incidents. An opinion of considerable interest was received in this city yesterday from the supreme court in the appeal case of Camille Gamier and Leon Gamier, ap pellants, vs. Geo. K. Porter, respondent. The case was taken up on a judgment in favor of the defendant rendered by Judge Tan Dyke, and on an order refus ing a new trial. A synopsis of the opin ion follows: "This action is for damages for the destruction of hay, grasses and pasture on 2880 acres of land. It is charged that defendant willfully and negligently kindled a fire on his land and set fire to grasses growing thereon in the vicinity of the plaintiff's land, and so negligently watched and tended the said fire that it spread over the intermediate space and came to and spread over the plaintiff's land and consumed the hay, grasses, pasture, etc. "Plaintiffs claim that they were dam aged in the sum of $40,000, and that by reason of section 3344 of the political code they are entitled to judgment for treble that sum. "Ihe answer contained a general de nial. A jury having been named, the action was tried by the court, which found for the defendant,specifically neg ativing all the material allegations of the complaint and also finding that said fire did not come upon the lands so oc cupied by the plaintiffs, or any portion thereof, by reason of any negligence on on the part of the defendant whatever. "We think the findings sufficient and there is undoubtedly evidence to sustain them. But the plaintiffs contend that the act of defendant in setting fire to the stubble on his own lands, although an ordinary agricultural process, was un lawful, and therefore the defendant is liable for the natural consequences, ir respective of the question of negligence. "This is supposed to be the effect of section 384 of the penal code, which is as follows: 'Every person who willfully or negligently sets fire, or causes or pro cures to be set on fire, any woods, prairies, grasses or grain, on any lands, is guilty of a misdemeanor. The section is similar to section 142 of the act concern ing crimes and punishments, passed April 16. 1850. That contained, how ever, a proviso excepting tires set by any one near his own farm for the necessary preservation thereof, after giving notice to his neighbors. "In 1872 an act was passed making it a misdemeanor to set tire to any wooded country or forest belonging to the state or United States. "Section 3344 of the political code pro vides that any one negligently setting fire to his own woods or negligently suf fering any fire to extend beyond his own lands is liable in treble damages to the party injured. ... If one sets fire to the weeds or brush on his own land so as to prepare it for the plow, intend ing to limit and control the fire, and actually does so, he has not set fire to the prairies within the meaning ot this statute. If under such circumstances the fire gets out oi his control, he has set fire to the prairie, but not willfully, although it may be negligently. . . . "In this case, the defendant, when the fire got away from him and spread over the lands of the plaintiffs, was en gaged in back firing. . . . And there was evidence which tend to show due care in setting the fire and due dili gence iv endeavoring to control it after it had spread from his own land. "We think the judgment and order should be affirmed." The opinion is written by Commis sioner Temple and endorsed by the court. ELSINORE LAND COMPANY STOCK. The trialof the case of C.A.Sawtelle vs. the Elsinore Land and Water company, Hannah T. Yocum and J.D. Yocum, the latter of whom is the president of the above-named corporation, began yester day before Judge McKinley in depart ment five of the superior court and went over at the adjourning hour till today. Sawtelle sues to regain posses sion of 8093 shares of stock in the de fendant company, which, he alleges, were fraudulently transferred on the books of the company from him to Hannah T. Yocum, without his consent. He also asks for an alternative judgment for $24,279, the value of the stock at $3 per share. In his answer, J. D. Yocum alleges that the stock originally belonged to him; that he appointed Sawtelle his attorney in fact, and that the latter, without Yo cum's knowledge, transferred the stock to one W. H. Wakeley and had it re transferred to himself without consider ation. Yocum never recognized this fctosfer, and the stock was sold at auc tn%% and bid in by Hannah T. Yocum on a judgment obtained against J. I). Yo cum. The trial will be concluded today. COURT NOTES. Judgments were ordered for the plaintiffs yesterday by Judge Van Dyke in the two cases of George M. Campbell et al. vs. D. Arnold et al. The Buits were for the foreclosure of mortgages amounting in the aggregate to about $10,000. Attorney's fees of $375 were al lowed in one case and $750 in the other. Judgment was entered by consent. Judge Wade yesterday ordered a de cree entered for the plaintiff in the di vorce suit of Mrs. A. S. Webb vs. J. Webb, after hearing the testimony of Anna R. Stow and Mrs. A. S. Webb. The grounds were cruelty and desertion. The case of Williams vs. Fulton, an action to quiet title to a strip of land twenty feet wide on Seventh street, was on trial yeßterday before Judge Wade. At the hourof adjournment the case was continued indefinitely. Judge Clark yesterday granted a de cree of divorce to Nannie Wilson from her husband, John Wilson, on the grounds of desertion.

A BENEFIT ENTERTAINMENT. The Performance This Evening at the Grand for a Good Cause. The ladies who are managing the en tertainment to be given this evening at the Grand opera house have succeeded in arranging an admirable programme, in which the best talent in the city will participate. It ia a benefit entertain ment for the victims in the late disas trous tire in the Solomon block. Several families were burned out of house and home, and lost everything they had in this world. The fire came on the sleep ers with such celerity that they could not save anything, and they were fortunate in getting out with their lives. Several charitably inclined ladies have banded together, and as a result the general public is asked to contribute to the suc cess of their work by attending the Grand opera house this evening. The theater should be packed, as in addition to the excellence of the pro gramme, the cause is most worthy and appeals strongly to all classes of society. It is to be hoped a good round sum will be realized. The following is the pro gramme : Violoncello Solo Professor B. Blerlich Euterpean Quartette J. P. Dupuy, F. E. Nay, H. S. Williams and F.

A Long March Commenced—Major Mc- Clellan in Command—The Trouble all Caused by the Agent at Oraibe. The following statement regarding the Moqui Indian matter was furnished at military headquarters yesterday: "The troops from Fort Wingate, New Mexico, and Fort Apache, Arizona, reached Keane's cafion, Arizona, on Monday. Major Corwin B. McClellan, Tenth cavalry, is in command of all the troops. They moved today towards Oraibe village, which is thirty-two miles distant from Keane's cafion. The latter is eighty-four miles north of the rail road at Holbrook, on the Atlantic and Pacific railroad." General McCook stated to a Herald reporter that the army had nothing to do with the trouble among the Moquis anymore than being called on to quell a disturbance caused by the action of the interior department, in whose care the Indians are. The base of the trouble is' the attempt of the agent at Oraibe, a man fresh from lowa, who hardly knows an Indian from a jackrabbit, to force the children to leave their parents and go to school, which is thirty-two miles from their homes. The Indians call this man stealing and naturally do not want to turn their children over to strangers. The duty of the military is simply a sort of police work. The secretary of war has ordered certain malcontents ar rested and the soldiers will have to take them in custody. The affair, if possible, will be peaceably conducted, though the result is somewhat doubtful, as the Indians are very niuch exasperated. SANTA MONICA. Did some one say it was hot?

My skin, tongue and whites of my eves were as yellow as a sunflower. I could not eat, drink or sleep. Dr. Wong's diagnosis was that my disease originated from my spleen and had extended to my heart. I took Dr. Wong's medicine for ten days; luve taken no medicine since and am enjoying excellent health, A. M. AVILA, 1612 Brooklyn avenue, August 22,1890. Los Angeles, Cal. I suffered for four years wltb consumption and was treated by the most able doctors obtain able, but was given up to die.

Four years ago my daughter, Virginia Bell, was treated by Dr. Wong for what eminent physicians called hip disease, and had pronounced incurable after treating her for seven or eight years.

For nearly one year I was treated by the most noted physicians of New York City to whom I paid $25 per day for medical advice. They failed to prevent me from running down. Finally these physicians told my friends that my case was incurable, and that I could not possibly live one year as I was in the last stages of consumption. Dr. Wong cured me in four months'time, and I am as well as any man ln the world, and have worked hard for two years' time. C. HASS, Foreman in Spreckles' Sugar Refinery, November 4,1890.
