ANOTHER INJUNCTION
I3ITY AGAINST THE WATER COM
PANY THIS TIME
A RECEIVER IS ASKED FOR
City Prays for Possession of Plant,
Crystal Springs and All —A
Broad Action
This time only the expected has hap
pened. The Herald had foretold Its com
ing, and the filing of a suit by the city
against the water company yesterday was
not In Itself a surprise. However, the broad
stand taken by the city's counsel Is some
thing more than was expected. A suit to
restrain the company from collecting the
water rents was looked for, and it was not
regarded as Impossible that the city should
ask for the appointment of a receiver, but
the action not only seeks the accomplish
ment of both of these, but also asks the
courts to give the city full, complete, quiet
and peaceable possession of the plant. In
short, the city not only takes> the bull by
the horns, but grabs him by the caudal
appendage as well.
The title of the case is the City of Los
Angeles against the Los Angeles City Wa
ter company, the Crystal Springs Land and
Water company, the East Side Spring
Water company and S. G. Murphy. It wa«
filed yesterday afternoon and Judge Shaw
Immediately issued a temporary restraining
order as prayed and ordered the defend
ants to appear ln court on Thursday to
show cause why a receiver should not be
appointed and the temporary injunction
made permanent.
The plaintiffs' complaint Is one of those
voluminous legal documents which requires
st least three days' study to give one a
fair Idea of all the subject matter. It re
hearses the history of the water plant from
1868 to the present, the several contracts
under which different companies hay op
erated, the facts' surrounding the organiza
tion of the Crystal Springs Land and Water
company and the recent events which led up
to the suits now pending in the various
courts. The plaintiff alleges thatMt was'the
Intention of the parties to the contract of
July 20, 1868, that the water works then
were and always have been the property
of the city, and all improvements which
might thereafter be made by the company
should be leased and leased only; that at
the expiration of the contract the company,
as tenants, should turn the property over
to the city, as landlord, and be paid the
full value of the Improvements as fixed by
the arbitrators provided for ln the contract.
Another allegation of the plaintiffs states
that as the end of the term of thirty years
of the contract began to draw to an end
the Los Angeles Water company, In 1886.
conceived the fraudulent design of prevent
ing the city from acquiring all of the im
provements, and with this object in view or
ganized another company known as the
Crystal Springs Land and Water company.
This company had the same stockholders
as the original Los Angeles City Water
company, had the same capital stock, di
vided ln the same proportions, and the same
officers. The Los Angeles City Water com
pany then made a pretended transfer of cer
tain lands and conduits, according to the
plaintiff's allegation, to the new company
and shortly after, ln order to further their
fraudulent designs, the new company ex
ecuted a lease of these same lands and con
duits to the Los Angeles City Water com
pany, the consideration being 40 per cent
of the gross receipts of the latter company.
Plaintiff therefore alleges that all of the
property of the Crystal Springs Land and
Water company was paid for out ot the
water rates received by the Los Angele9
City Water company. Then follows a de
scription of the property as scheduled by
the Los Angeles City Water company and
submitted to the city council on June 13,
IS9S, and a rehearsal of the passage of the
crdinance by councii creating a city water
works department; the tendering of $1,000,
--006 for the plant and property and the re
fusal of the company to accept the same or
to turn over the plant. Plaintiff alleges
that it Is the universal sentiment of the
city's voters that bonds shall be issued to
raise money to pay the company, for its
Improvements and that the bonds will find
ready sale.
Plaintiff also alleges that It is Informed
and believes the water company will not
abide by the decision of the arbitrators and
further that the company is collecting
water rentals, will distribute them among
the stockholders as dividends and spend
them for litigation.
On these grounds plaintiff asks for a per
manent injunction, the appointment of a re
eclver and the ultimate possession of the
plant and property of both companies. It is
asked that a commissioner be appointed If
necessary to make the conveyance.
The water company's receipts for last
year are shown to have been $424,590.65. S-
G Murphy Is made a defendant in the suit
on account of some claim which he is sup
posed to hold against the company's prop
erty.
MOTION FOB CHANGE OF VENUE
Affairs of the Alessandro Irrigation
District, Riverside County-
Motion was made yesterday before Judge
Shaw for a change of venue in the case
of Ezra T. Stimson vs. the Alessandro Irri
gation district to the superior court of Riv
erside county. In which the district is sit
uated. The motion was granted.
The suit brought by Mr. Stimson is to
force the payment of $8185, due on Interest
coupons on bonds of the district, and is
but one of many such suits which will in
the end determine the validity of the bonds
of the district. F. W. Burnett is attorney
for the plaintiff, and Otis & Gregg of San
Bernardino and Charles Wellborn of this
city represent the defendant. A demurrer
has been filed by the plaintiff alleging that
the complaint does not state sufficient cause
for action. This will be ruled upon by the
Riverside county court.
The Allesandro irrigation district was
formed several years ago and comprises
some 23.000 odd acres of land in the upper
end of the San Jacinto valley. The district
was formed under the direction ot the
Bear Valley company, which has sine"
failed, and settlers were Imported and giv
en title to land in the district, nearly all of
which at the time belonged to the company.
In order that It might be formed, as there
Were at that time not enough settlers then
resident to meet the requirements of the
law. This is one of the points on which th
•juestlon Is raised as to the validity of the
. district bonds. The purchasers of land I
the valley have been Involved In lltlgailm
for the last three or four years, and tl •
floe improvements which have been made
have time and again been ln danger of utter
ruin and loss because of the failure of the
i.Jhar Valley company to carry out Its con
tracts for furnishing water for Irrigation
purposes.
M'MENOMT SENTENCED
He Must Stand Trial on Tet Another
Charge
H. C. McMenomy. who burglarized M. H.
Newtaark's residence on Grand avenue last
May, securing some $1000 worth of jewelry
and money, and who entered the house of
Mrs. J. E. Meserve of Highland Park, this
city, one night during the same month,
choked her in her b«rd and took her Jewti y
and money, was up before Judge York yes
terday for sentence.
The accused Is an ex-Whlttler aulprtt.
having served two terms in that institution,
and is an all-round tough of the worst
character. The manner in which he han
dled Mrs. Meserve. who Is a widow, resid
ing In her home alone with her little daugh
ter, is evidence of his desperate tendencies.
The defendant appeared in court for sen
tence, accompanied by his attorney, J. P.
Foley, the people being represented by W.
P. James, deputy district attorney. Mr.
Foley proposed to Mr. James that he dis
miss the Newmark case, providing the de
fendant pleaded guilty to the charge in the
Meserve case. The Newmark case was
burglary In the second degree, and live
years Is the limit, while the Meserve case
tvus burglary in the first degree, and the
maximum is fifteen'years.
Mr. James would not agree to the propo
sition made by Mr. Foley, but, as the Me
serve charge was placed before the judge,
the prisoner pleaded guilty to It. and the
opinion was vouchsafed that, as his honor
had no knowledge of the other charge, he
could only act on the one before him. He
therefore pronounced sentence on that, giv
ing the prisoner ten years at San Quentln.
Mr. James at once laid the matter before
District Attorney Donnell, with the result
that the latter stated his direct opposi
tion to the dismissal of the Newmark
charge, and accordingly McMenomy will
have to stand trial on that charge.

BOABD OF TRADE CONTEMPT
Examination of Witnesses and Argu
ments Take Up the Time
Judge Shaw's court was occupied yester
day principally with the citation in con
tempt proceedinigs against Attorney Dun
ning and others of the board of trade, grow
ing out of the Kolm Bros.' Insolvency case,
brought about by Attorney L. C. Whitney,
who represented the Kolm Bros.
Judge Van Dyke of the superior court Is
sued the order directing that the secretary
of the board of trade pay over to Kolm
Bros, a certain amount of money in his
hands, but before that order was presented,
or notification of its having been made was
received by the board of trade, was gar
nlsheed by another party. The complaint
on which the citation for contempt was is
sued alleged that there was connivance
between the attorneys of the board and its
secretary to withhold the money from the
Kolms.
The entire afternoon was spent in exam
ining witnesses and in making arguments.
The case was submitted.
Filed With the Clerk
D. W. Field, as administrator of the es
tate of Elizabeth Ann Green, deceased, has
filed suit against the city of Los Angeles
to quiet title to lot 16, block 3, of the San

Wanted a Rebate
A comical case was on trial before Justice
Young yesterday afternoon. T. J. Dye
sued Hannibal de la Grange for house rent
due ln the amount of $5.50. The defendant
acknowledged the debt, but said that the
plaintiff's house was infested with beSbugs,
and that he had at divers times counted as
many as six large and healthy fellows upon
one pillowcase. He therefore thought that
he was entitled to some rebate of the
amount demanded. Judgment was for the
plaintiff.
Matuskiwlz Must Pay
A stay of execution was yesterday al
lowed the defendant by Judge Shaw in the
case of Matuskiwlz vs. Matuskiwlz for 31

LOS ANGELES HKKAI.O: i UESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 2, JB9B
LETTER FROM DAWSON
DISCOURAGING OUTLOOK IN THE
KLONDIKE
PREEMPTED, OVERSTOCKED
All Prospecting Must Be Done on Foot.
The Buling Markets—Seven Thou
sand Dollars for Ten Steers
DAWSON. N. W. T., June 22.—(Special
Correspondence to The Herald.) I arrived
ln Dawson City on the 17th, having made
the trip down the river without accident.
The weather has been fine. Mosquitoes are
plentiful on land, but they did not bother
us while we were moving. We are agreea
bly surprised to find there are no mosqui
toes in Dawson.
The city Is situated at the mouth of the
Klondike river and ln a swamp. Front
street Is the only thoroughfare that Is at
all dry. Back of that there is nothing
but a bog, and the town Is the fthhiest
place I ever was in. When we landed we
found It difficult to find a place for our
boat. Boats are two and three deep for a
mile and a half along the river front. The
town is alive with people; greater num
bers. Indeed, are to be seen on Front street
than on Spring street in Los Angeles. I
have met several men from Los Angeles,
among them being W. N. Monroe and Milt
Monroe.
It appears that every creek and gulch
within forty miles of Dawson Is staked
out, and but very few are paying ex
penses. Some fifty or sixty claims on
Bonanza and Eldorado are the only ones
that are paying, and some of these are
very rich.
I was out on Bonanza, which Is about
six miles from town, washed out some dirt
and got about eight cents to the pan. They
only ask $50,000 for the claim. They are
anxious to sell and asked me not to "give
it away." I tlnd that some of the claims
are not cleaning up for the simple reason
that they are trying to sell and bilk some
one. If they clean up they must report
to the gold commissioner.
So far as I can learn the country Is very
much overrated. People are selling their
outfits'and going out by the hundreds. The
trouble Is that you cannot get out to pros
pect except on foot, and one can't take
more than a week's supply and tramp over
these mountains. By the time you get to
unstaked territory you need to return for
more grub. Those who have been out say
it is rough and hard traveling. In a few
days we are going out to investigate a lay
that was offered me. But we are thinking
of going on to American territory, where
the laws are more favorable to miners.
Provisions are high; in fact, everything
is high. Flour Is $12 per hundred; bacon,
10 cents per pound; Cucamonga oranges,
brought over the trail, are selling for 5(1
and 75 cents each; lemons and eggs, 25
cents each; beef, $1.50 per pound. Ten head
of cattle came ln the other day. I was
told they brought over $7000. You can see
a person must have money or provisions to
live in this country.
Wages are from $5 to $15 per day, but
there are 500 men for every Job. The
mounted police have established a mall
route from Skaguay. A large mall came
in Saturday, and Monday morning I found
200 in line at the postofflce. Tuesday morn
ing there were about sixty there before
me at 5:30 o'clock, and I did not get to the
delivery window until about 10 o'clock.
W. R. BEARDSLEE.
BROKERS MUST PAY LICENSE
Real Estate Agents Not Subject to
Special Tax
John D. Lynch, United States internal
revenue collector, wires that persons nego
tiating mortgage loans as a regular branch
of their business are brokers and subject to
a $50 license. A penalty of $75 attaches to
any violation of the law. At the internal
revenue office tt has been ascertained that
there are several instances In the city of
a number of firms doing business under one
license. This is a direct violation of the
law and makes the offenders liable. Each
firm or individual doing business must pay
the tax.
It is held by the internal revenue commis
sioner that there Is no provision by which
a special lax can be imposed on real estate
agents or any person or firm for simply
buying or selling as real estate agents or
on any person or firm for simply buying or
selling real estate on commission, either for
themselves or others.
The law is aimed at a class of men known
generally in the community as brokers,
who, whether this is their sole occupation
or Is merely business done by them ln con
nection with their other business, negotiate
purchases or sales of stocks, bonds, notes,
etc., either for themselves or others. The
decision holds that a fair construction of
the law does not make any man a broker
necessarily who invests his surplus earn
ings ln stocks, bonds and notes, but does
not negotiate purchases or sales thereof.
EVENING CONCERTS AT OMAHA
Special Days and Attractions at the
Exposition
Mrs. Wiggins, in a letter received yester
day, writes of special days and features of
the Omaha exposition, as follows:
The Trans-Mississippi exposition is try
ing the experiment of a half-rate admis
sion fee for Sundays and special evenings'.
It is a great success from one point of view,
viz., the class of guests it brings in. It is
the same old exposition story, again veri
fied, that a Sunday opening and a low ad
mission fee brings in the working class of
people; people who have no other time to
come and people who could not bring their
children In on the regular admission fee.
There is some opposition to the movement
of course; but the great claim made by
all these expositions Is the claim for im
provement—an educative claim. True, this
may be a secondary claim, but it Is one
ever brought forward; and from this stand
point all classes deserve to be considered.
An exposition certainly ought to have an
educative value, for it brings- into close
range all sections of the country and
glimpses of many of the foreign countries
Forty-three days of special attractions have
been arranged and many more are being
considered. The horticultural building is
to have several days of "free fruit" and
the word "free" ever seems to be attractive.
The evening concerts' are very attractive
these warm dayEt Phinney's band is play
ing and the exposition chorus singing. All

visitors out ln the open air surrounded by
beautiful lawns and many electric lights.
A war story, told ln music, is especially at

voices vividly proclaim the preparations
the marshaling of the soldiers, the moving
of the trains and the clattering of horses'
feet and firearms; but the great climax is

GOT THE WRONG RIG
A Ludicrous Mistake Made by Some
Insurance Solicitors
A ludicrous mistake occurred yesterday
morning, resulting in two reputable people's
being suspected of horse stealing—one, in
fact, being arrested. Samuel Stein, the
Main-street liquor dealer, drove his horse
and buggy to the entrance of the German-
American bank building, at the corner of
First and Main streets, and hitched the
horse for an instant, while he stepped lnt«
his store, which is located a few yards
distant, ln the meanwhile George Ansbro.
a solicitor for the Pacific Mutual Life In
surance company, had ordered a rig to
make his weekly trip to Pasadena, and wa3
impatiently pacing his office, waiting for
the outfit to be brought to the building.
He finally telephoned to the livery stable
people and was Informed that the rig had
been hitched near the entrance.
Accompanied by another solicitor, Henry
Enderson, Ansbro went downstairs and,
perceiving a rig hitched there, naturally
supposed it was the one he had ordered. It
happened to be that of Mr. Stein, however,
and, unconscious of the error, Ansbro and
his companion stepped into the buggy and
drove away.
Otto Silberg, a clerk for Stein, saw them,
and asked his employer if he had loaned tho
rig to any person. Stein replied that he
had not, and rushed out to try to capture
the supposed thieves. Enderson rode but
s short distance with Ansbro and returned
■i the bank building just as Stein came up.
Charles Parker, the colored janitor, point
ed out Enderson as one of the horse thieves,
nnd Stein took him into custody, turning
him over to a police officer. A second offi
cer was sent to Pasadena after Ansbro and
the rig, while Enderson was taken to the
police station.
II L. Carson, superintendent of the in
surance company, appeared at the station,
and, after explaining the Incident, Ender
j son was allowed to go. The livery rig or
dered by the solicitors was found hitched
near the entrance of the building.
A FREAK ORANGE
A Perfect Baby Face in. the Navel
End
One of the greatest natural curiosities
that ever grew on a tree is to be seen pre
served in alcohol ln the chamber of com
merce. It Is a large navel orange of the
size known as sixty-fours, that has a
perfect baby face In the navel. The eyes
are partially open, the mouth stretched as
if the child was crying or gaping and the
ears, though abnormally large, are clear
and well dcHned. The eyes were closed un
til the fruit was put in the liquor, when the
lids opened partially and a dark spot ln the
center very closely resembles pupils. It is
not a handsome face, but many a flat
nosed, squirming Infant is as homely as
this queer freak.
The orange was bought at a fruit stand
by E. E. Mallory among a lot of other or
anges, and he presented it to the exhibit
department. A photograph was taken of
It and sent to the agricultural department
at Washington.
C. P. Taft of Orange has sent in the flrst
dried apricots of the season. A. F. Jen
kins has added some flowers to the sunflow
er collection and D. W. Cunningham exhib
its Kelsey plums. Some thirty boxes of or
anges are promised for the San Francico
Red Cross.
No Action Decided Upon
A meeting of the jobbers and wholesalers
was held yesterday afternoon at the rooms
o fthe board of trade for the purpose of con
sidering the adoption of some uniform rule
providing for the payment of the charges
to be made by the city banks on and after
the sth Inst, for the collection of checks
drawn upon country banks, either by the
customers ln the country or otherwise, as
might be determined. Many of those inter
ested were present, an dthe matter was
thoroughly discussed. Several resolutions
were offered providing for a uniform rule,
but the meeting finally adjourned without
adopting any one of them.
Still After Them
Attorney Horace Bell has filed a com
plaint in aisDarment proooenuigs againsi
R. and H. L. Dunnigan, the attorneys. Mr.
Bell filed a complaint of like kind some time
ago before the supreme court, but the pro
ceedings were set aside on the grounds
that the matter should first have come be
fore the superior court, where the facts al
leged ln Bell's complaint as reasons for
disbarment occurred. Bell charges the
Dunnlgans with having violated their
oaths as attorneys and counselors-at-law
by certain proceedings, which the com
plaint recites. The case is well known.

I Many preparations int ondod to beautify the complexion have frtilod, since they do not produce a i
tonic effect on tbe skin. Because the Misses Bell's Complexion Tonic has such an effect It
succeeds where all mere cosmetics invariably fail. This great remedy, discovered by the Misses
I Bell, the eminent complexion specialists, of No. 76 Fifth Avenue. New York City, carries off all I
impurities, which the blood forces to the surface of the body. It is exhilarating and vitalizing
wherever applied. Freckles, pimples, blackheads, moth patches, wrinkles, liver spots, roughness,
oiliness and eruptions disappear, and the akin be- '
comas soft and rosy ns a baby's.
