10 A WATER SUIT In Which Judge York Files an Opinion MANY PEOPLE CONCERNED AND THOUSANDS OF ACRES IN THE AZUSA DISTRICT The Court Sitting in Bane Decides Harris and Jenkins Must Re main in Jail In deciding the case of the Vineland Irrigation district vs. Azusa Irrigation company et al. Judge York, in a lengthy opinion, holds that a party, entering intc the possession of waters flowing in pub lic lands without any attempt to comply with the provisions of the civil code pre scribing the steps to be taken to secure the right to appropriate such waters, is the mere occupier of the use, and has no title thereto except as against a subse quent occupier who has not completed an appropriation in accordance with the code requirements. That to occupy the use of the waters of a river, so as to en title a party to maintain possession, there muft be an intention to so occupy. A subsequent occupier is not required to take notice that an occupation without such intention is hostile to him, and it cioucnuutca no reason why the subsc quent occupier should not proceed with a diversion of the stream. That such occupancy must be open to public obser vation to that extent that subsequent appropriators may know of the appro priation and be put on inquiry as to its extent. That the prior occupier must have subjected the water taken by hi:n to pome useful purpose. That a subter ranean stream, having well-defined banks and flowing in a certain course, is subject to appropriation. That such sub terranean streams, to be subject to ap propriation as against the right of an other to appropriate the surface flow of the stream from which such subter ranean streams diverge, must be capable of an approximate measurement, so that a court can fix, with reasonable certain ty, the amount of water so flowing tc compensate for taking the same into the Surface flow, in order that subterranean waters not husbanded should not be wasted; otherwise a wasteful policy would be established, for to protect the claimant In the underground flow would necessarily prevent the taking into the surface stream of water percolating therefrom, not husbanded. 'Waters per colating from a stream through a wide and undefined strata of sand, gravel and boulders can not be occupied so as to prevent subsequent appropriation of the surface flow of the stream from which It percolates, or so as to prevent an ap proprlator of the surface flow from shop ping leakages in the bed of the stream. Judge York finds that plaintiff did not manifest any intention, to appropriate waters of the San Gabriel river; that its acts' open to public inspection did not put defendants on inquiry as to such in tention, and that the waters found in its tunnels were percolations extending through an undefined' strata of sand, gravel and boulders, and not capable of measurement, and hence not subject to appropriation as waters of said river. Judge York further holds that, where waters are slowly percolating from the surface flow of a river, and their inter ception by a tunnel would accelerate such percolation, a subsequent occu pier in the construction of tunnels into the strata through which such water percolates is a trespasser against one who has previously appropriated all of the surface flow below where such wa ters percolate from the main stream. That in an appropriation under the code provisions a substantial compliance therewith is sufficient. That a recorded notice of appropriation which describes the place of Intended diversion as "here flowing," with other language sufficient to designate the stream and put subse quent appropriators on inquiry, which, pursued, would lead to certainty as to the place of intended diversion, is suffi cient. That the effect of recording or non-recording, in such cases, is not the same as in cases where such effect is specified in the code. That the notice posted at the point of intended diversion, where actual work in pursuance there of ls in progress, is. together with such recorded notice, sufficient to put subse quent appropriators on inquiry, which, if followed up, would give sufficient no tice of the place of intended diversion. That a subsequent occupier of the use of waters, without any attempt to com ply with the laws of appropriation, has no right to complain because of the change by a prior appropriator, where by waters subjected to one beneficial use are diverted to another equally ben eficial use. That, in deciding whether work under notices of appropriation has been prosecuted with reasonable dlli* gence, all the circumstances of each par ticular case should be considered, such as whether the work could have been prosecuted all the year round, the physi cal conditions of the country through which the proposed diverting works were constructed, whether the work was to be prosecuted through soil easy to penetrate or through solid rock, the ex tent and magnitude of the work pro posed, and the expense to be Incurred. The law does not require in such cases any unusual or extraordinary efforts, but such efforts as are reasonable, usual or ordinary. That the remedy by injunction is preventive in character, and where the Injured parties have stood by and seen a tunnel constructed, without action on their part, a court • should not require the tunnel to be closed up, especially where the injury to complainants by such construction is not shown to be great, or more than they had reason to fear when the tunnel was in process of construction. Com plainants should not, however, be de barred of their remedy by a judgment in a premature suit, should it subse quently appear that such tunnel is more injurious to their rights than they had cause to fear during its construction. That in case of a threat or manifest in tention to extend such tunnels, to the great and Irreparable injury of com plainants, the court should enjoin such extension. Judgment is ordered to be entered, that plaintiff take nothing by Its com plaint, and adjudging that as against the plaintiff defendants are the owners of the right to use all the waters of the San Gabriel river flowing at their points of diversion, and to such waters of said river as they have saved to the surface flow, or procured to now, in their tunnels and ditches. No damages are awarded to cross-com plainants, but plaintiff is enjoined from further excavating toward the surface flow of the river. Defendants' prayer for an injunction preventing plaintiff from using their tunnel Is denied without prejudice. STILL IN JAIL The "Feigned Accomplices," Harris and Jenkins, Must Serve Time Fay Harris and Harvey Jenkins, the runaway accomplices of the Col. Tupper case, have failed to win their liberty by the habeas corpus route and are now ready to appeal their case to the su preme court. At the recent trial it de vloped that neither of these defendant? had had any work for many moons and were in a state of most uncomfortable impecuniosity. It seems, however, as if they now have money to burn, for their case is to be appealed, and counsel in the case, while in every way earnest in his effort to serve his clients, is not to be presumed to be giving his time and abil ity out of a mere love for humanity. Attorney Earl Rogers represented Harris and Jenkins yesterday before Judges Allen and Smith sitting in bane, and the hearing was disposed of in about five minutes. Counsel first offered the affidavit of Attorney Walter M. Rose, wherein he swore to having subpoenaed the defend ants to attend the Tupper trial in behalf of the defense, in evidence; and also the attachment issued from the court for their arrest. Mr. Rogers argued that a commitment for contempt is essentially a criminal proceeding, and that in such cases a citation is essential, and an affi davit upon which [hat citation to ap pear is based, setting forth the facts of the contempt. In the case at bar coun sel contended, these necessary processes of court were not «led until after the defendants had been produced in court. The court he'd that it mattered noth ing for the purposes of the case how or why Harris and Jenkins were brought into court; as a matter of fact, it ap peared they had been brought in as wit nesses; being in court, however, the con tempt proceedings began when the affi davit was filed', and, as counsel himself conceded, there were no irregularities from that point. The writ was dis charged. A parallel case to this was In the memory of Judge Shaw, for he made al lusion to it, in which he himself was th = trial judge. One Hreciach was brought up in department five, in 1592, on the charge of contempt arising out of the trial of a civil suit. Attorney Horace Appel had been representing Hreciach in the civil suit, but upon the day when his client got up to the neck in contempt he had gone off to get married, for even attorneys indulge in that pleasantry quite frequently, and had appointed At torney Kinley to take his place in de fending his client. Hreciach persist ently refused to permit the receiver to take charge of the business which was the subject of the action and wasarre«; ed, and an affidavit filed against him set ting forth the facts of hla con tempt. No process of court issued, but Judge Shaw inflicted a fine, with the alternative of being sent to Jail. News was sent to Attorney Appel how his marriage had balled thecase in court all up, and next day he hustled down town and got out a writ of habeas cor pus, and' it was beard before the court sitting in bane. Counsel laid stress upon the points dwelt upon by Attorney Rogers yesterday; that no accusation in the shape of complaint or anything else had been served upon his client, nor any order to show cause, and therefore Hre ciach had not had the opportunity to be informed of the charge leveled against him. The arguments were protracted and the supreme court reports of almost every state in the union were ransacked to find authorities. But in that case, as in the later one, the court in bane held that no process was needed, as the de fendant was in the presence of the court and the necessary affidavit setting forth the facts had been filed. In that case, however, there was one striking difference from the Harris and Jenkins proceedings. Hreciach was a rather ignorant foreigner, and what Judge Shaw wouldn't concede as an act of legal right he did as an act of grace, and the defendant was restored to lib erty. Harris and Jenkins are. judging by their actions in the Tupper trial, two very slippery young gentlemen, ard Judge Smith is well content that they shall —as far as he is concerned—remain just where they are—in jail. THE COUNTY REPORTS The County Cerk, Auditor and Record - er File Statements for July County Clerk Newiin yesterday filed his report for the month of July with the board of supervisors, wherein is set forth the detailed receipts of the office during the month and the disposition made of them.

Recorder Hodgman reported the fees received during the month of July at $2941.55. DIGGING FOR OIL H. Socum Makes a Not Too Profitable Trip to Peru It Is rather a long trip to take to Peru and discover upon returning that one's salary is not forthcoming, and yet that is exactly the position in which Howard Slocum allegesi he is placed. Yesterday he began suit against A. P. Maginnis. L. A. Grant, H. L. Williams, E. L. Doheny, John Cross, Samuel Con non, Godfrey Holterhoff. jr., and J. W. Nance, all of whom are comprised' in the nigh sounding name of La Companla Aceite Mascotta de lr,s Estados Unldos de Nort America, to recover $971.50 due. Slocum claims that on May 29.1896, the company was engaged In developing oil territory and sinking wells in the Talara district, Republic of Peru, and engaged him as a rig builder, driller and tool dresser to proceed down there. The con tract was for two years at the wage of $4.50 per day when he was actively em ployed; $1 for each day when he was kept Idle by the company, and $2.25 per clay when these idle days exceeded LOS ANGELES HERALD: TUESDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3, 1897 fifteen. The company also agreed to furn ish transportation going and returning also If Slocum gave satisfaction. The plaintiff alleges that he was actively employed at San Francisco andj, else where until June 3rd. and on theSth left on the steamer for his point of destina tion, which was reached on July Ist. Ht worked until December 26th, when he was compelled! to cease active work ac the company could find no more work for him. By request he remained until January 22. 1597, and then paid his own passage back to California. Slocum claims now that his account stands as follows: Actively engaged 100 days, at $4.60 $450 00 Idle 15 days, at $1 15 00 Necessarily idle 114 days, at $2.25 256 50 Passage money, returning 250 00 Total 2971 50 Altogether since his engagement with the American-Peruvian company he has received $150, and now he demands that the court settle the matter by giving him Judgment for his claim. A FOOLISH GIRL Jeanette Thompson, a Fifteen-Year- Old Duarte Girl Elopes For some little time past the Thomp son family, residing at Duarte, has been disquieted by the actions of the 15-year old daughter Jeannette. Her father. A. C. Thompson, is a well to do fruit grow er at Duarte and is highly respected. Kecently he had reason to suppose that one of the packers at the Duarte-Mon rovia fruit exchange named Homer Vorman, was paying altogether too much attention to Jeanette. Before suspicion had ripened into actual knowledge that there was any undue intimacy a crisis was brought about by the girl herself. On Sunday evening advantage was taken of the quietness about the ranch md the absence of some of the family at church by the young people, for they sloped together. They drove off in a buggy and made a long drive to Long Beach, and there made arrangements With the skipper of a small sloop to take Ihem out to sea. This was done and outside the three-mile limit they made the declarations that they thought made them man and wife. Meantime the disappearance of the runaways had caused an investigation to be made and when it was determined that the couple had eloped the wires were kept hot sending messages to Los Angeles. As has been stated the young folks consummated their desires at Long Beach. So far as the ceremony of marriage by the master of a vessel is concerned, but if the opinion of the late Judge McKinstry of the supreme court is worth anything at all, then this mar riage, as well as all other sea marriages. Is invalid and opposed to the laws of the state of California. THE ARGUELLO CASE A Mother Charged With Utter Neglect of Her Children The curious case of Police Officer Ar guello against his first wife, Encanna- Mon Arguello, to recover possession of Ills three children, again came up in de partment fix yesterday. The couple were divorced in January, 18'J5, and since that time the plaintiff has remarried, and as he claimed the mother Df his children was not a proper person to care for them, they having been awarded to her by reason of their ten der age, he applied to the court for a transfer to him of their custody. When the case was first called it could not go to trial, by reason of Mrs. Arguello's ab sence. A physician's certificate was put in certifying that she had been con fined of twins, and that showing was l , of course, deemed sufficient. Yesterday the case did go to trial, but again a hiatus occurred in the case jwing to the absence of Attorney Mon tana, who represented the defendant, ludge Allen would not permit the court to be trifled with, however, and as the attorney had had due notice of the time for hearing it was his duty to be present. Attorney Horace Appel represented Police Officer Arguello, and he put upon the stand a number of witnesses, who testified that the defendant was in the habit of sending the children for wine, and then, in company with men and women of'loose character, get drunk while the children played around. I: was also shown by one witness'that he, in company with the plaintiff had. gone to the house and found Mrs. Arguello In bed with a man named Schmidt, and that her relations with another man named Elisalda were somewhat dubious. The most repulsive bit of tes-timony, however, was when it was shown that Mary Arguello, a child of about nine years, was permitted to run wild, and not infrequently went bathing with the boys in the neighborhood in a ditch close to her mother's house, and. in a perfectly r.ude condition. It was stated also that the child had been outraged, but on that point the testimony was indefinite. Judge Allen called Mrs. Arguello be fore him when the plaintiff's caee had closed and inquired whether if he ad journed the case again she was able to have an attorney to represent her. She assured the court that she both could and would, and on that assurance the case was continued until Thursday.

RUSSELL WARD'S DILEMMA His Wife Revokes His Power of At- torney Over Her Estate The revocation of the power of at torney given by Dolores Bandini de Ward, wife of W. Russell Ward, so well known to local fame, was filed in the county recorder's office yesterday. The deed was executed by Mrs. Ward in London, England .and acknowledged before Sydney H. Peddar, commissioner of deeds for the state of California, on July 13 ,the witnesses being M. Rooper of Lincoln's Inn Fields, and Sydney H. Peddar of Palmerston buildings. All powers and authorities assigned to W. Russell Ward by his wife are by this document made void, he beirfg no longer empowered to act as her agent and at torney in the United States or else where. THE FRUIT CASE Wherein 87000 Is Demanded for Use- less Nursery Supplies The arguments In the damage suit of Ford et al against Bushard & Mesmer occupied all of the afternoon yesterday. Attorneys James and Montgomery have represented the plaintiffs throughout the trial and Attorneys Dockweiler and Murphy have fulfilled the same office for the defendants. A rather funny Incident occurred yes terday when Mr. Murphy was about to begin his argument. Mr. James had preceded him and in the course of his argument sought to Illustrate the points he was making by quoting sundry texts of scripture. It was not quite a success, however, and his study of holy writ, judging by the haphazard way in which he quoted, .leaves something to be de sired. Concluding his argument he was, as indicated, followed by Mr. Murphy, who had just ventured to say a word or two when he was interrupted by one of the Jurymen. Arising from his seat, Juror C. N. Earl, with a serious face and in a pleading tone, made the request that if counsel intended to quote scripture he would confer a favor if he would do it correctly. There is no telling what choice scraps from the bible Mr. Murphy had stored up to point the moral of his learned disquisition, but certain it is he did not utilize them in the course of his argument. The case went to the Jury about five oclock. New Suits Filed Howard Slocum vs. A. P. Maginnis. L. A.
