12 FILED THEIR ANSWER WATER CO. AGAIN ASKS THAT CITY BE ENJOINED MORE COMPLICATIONS ARISE The Company Will Probably Ask That Judge Shaw Be Disqualified From Sitting in the Case It looks very much as though the counsel ln the water case are vying with each other to see which can file the most voluminous document on the questions at issue. The pe tltions in the two injunction suits tiled have been of 70and 50 pasts of matter respective ly, but the company yesterday knocked out all records. Their answer to the city's prayer for possession of the plant, a re ceiver and an Injunction, was Hied ln the afternoon, and consists of about 110 pages of typewritten matter. It embodies all the information, allegations and petitions cf the original complaint tiled by the company against the city, also that of the city against the company, together with the ex planation necessary to an understanding of both and of the result hoped to be at tained. It is denied that the city has any right to the Crystal Springs Land and Water company's property and much other prop erty which is alleged to belong to the Los Angeles City Water company, and the statement is made that the plant and prop erty which really belong to the defendant and come within the terms of the contract are earning an income of no: more than $8,000 per year, and is burdened with an in debtedne.-s of $100,000 or more. In their prayer the company again tsk that the city be tnjoirutl from taking pos session of the plant or from Interfering with the collection of water rents, and that the city's petition for the appointment of a receiver for the plant and property be de nied. The company's attorneys also filed two affidavit a which suggest that they will set up a claim that Judge Shaw is not qual ified to hear the city's suit against the com pany. One of these affidavits is Signed by B. F. Lewis, of the city assessor's office, and states that Judge Shaw is a taxpayer on worth of property in this city, in cluding two lots on Maple avenue, with im provements, in all worth $6,240. and 1690 worth of personal property. The other document is signed by Charles YV. Clark, a collector for the water company, and se's forth that Judge Shaw is a regular cus tomer of the water company and in July paid his rentals, but has not done so in August because of the injunction which he has himself granted restraining the com pany from making such collections. It is not known that Judge Shaw has any intention of hearing the city's case, but if he attempts to it is not unlikely the com pany will introduce these affidavits in or der to show his disqualification. 1-ioih in junction suits come up today, anil one nf them will probably be continued. The city's answer to the complaint in the company's suit has not yet been tiled. DENIED THE DECREE Judge Shaw Makes a Personal Investi gation of a Divorce Suit The court yesterday Indulged in a little investigation on its own "hook," and the lather unusual proceeding resulted in an entirely unexpected turn in the case under consideration. Fred T. Altmeler, a young man now In the employ of a large grocery firm in Los Angeles, was a petitioner before Judge Shaw for a divorce from his wife, Mary J. Altmeler, who now resides at the corner of Second and Main streets. The couple were married at Pueblo. Col., In 1880; but, on ac count of the husband's health, moved to Little Rock, Cal.. in 1*94. where they en gaged in the hotel business. Then the trouble began. The husband alleges that the wife was cross, Irritable and at times violent. She would keep him awake ail or the greater part of the night, often car rying on an altercation at the top of her voice and occasionally indulging ln screams which would not only disturb the guests In the hotel, but often aroused the neighbors in distant parts of the settlement. She threatened to leave him, and once started to walk across the desert to Palmdale. nine miles away, but was finally persuaded to return, and subsequently took a dose of poison as another method for ending her miserable existence. Heroic methods saved her life, and th»n she sought relief in attempts to Injure the husband, employing the broomstick and a rifle as the mediums, but being foiled in this contented herself with accusing the young man of committing adultery with her sis ter, the charge being made in the presence of other people. All this was alleged in the plaintiff's complaint, and was substan tiated by a guest of the hostelry under his management, and his mother, Mrs. Hus ton. The court interposed a question now and then, and did not seem entirely satisfied with the testimony. Finally a witness re marked that the husband had on one occa sion accused his wife of being too free with one of the guests, and this seemed to define the proper course of action to the judge. "Can you produce the defendant in court?" he asked of counsel. "I think so, your honor," was the an swer. "Then let her be subpoenaed at once," came the order. Mrs. Altmeler, a tall, pleasant-looking young lady, did not arrive until the middle of the afternoon, ond was Immediately sworn. Her testimony proved to he a com plete denial of every allegation contained in the plaintiffs complaint, except as to the preliminary information stating the time of marriage, etc. She stated that the trou ble between her and the husband was mere ly a misunderstanding and an inability to agree. The rilie episode she alleged was not true, inasmuch as she had intended to use the weapon (in a certain woman who frequently came to their house and threat ened to take her husband away from her. Mrs. Altmeler stated that she had filed no answer to her husband's divorce petition merely because she no longer loved or cared for him. and it did not matter to h> r wheth er he got a divorce on false grounds or how he got it. The court felt that his Investigation had not- bei n for nntight. and ruled that a. di vorce could not be granted .under the facts as they appeared to be. The case may be appealed, DIDN'T WANT TO LOSE HIM Judge Shaw Finds a Good Man From Calabasas The Calabasas district has a well estab lished reputation as the breeding ground for crime. The courts have come to rec ignize this fact and have no hesitancy in frequently giving the neighborhood a "hot shot" in the form of comment which in earlably is open to interpretation us a statement that "there is not a really re spectable man ln the district." It is therefore no wonder that Judge- Shaw was much surprised at an occur rence which took place in his court yester day. A man was before him with an appli cation for naturalization and was accom panied hy the usual witness. The judge ex amined this witness about as follows: "How long have you known this appli cant, sir?" "About six years, your honor." "What can you say for him as to his re spectability and general character?" "He is a good man. your honor, and has always been a good man since lirst I knew him." "Where does he live?" "In Calahasas, sir." The court turned to his clerk post haste. "Here, Mr. Clerk, here is a good man from Calabasas; swear him in, quick." The new citizen of the United States will undoubtedly be held up to brother towns men as a shining example. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Petitions From Attorneys Who Have the County's Welfare at Heart Rogers. Peterson & Slnckand Derbin & Derbin are San Francisco attorneys who seem to have dug around ln the musty and dusty records of the past and discovered that Los Angeles county is being deprived of certain moneys which the state should long ago have paid over to the supervisors. With a sincere interest in the county's wel fare they have therefore notified the super visors cf their discovery and offer their services to assist the district attorney in recovering the amounts. Of course, they want 50 per cent of all that is recovered, but no one minds a little thing like that. The matter was taken under consideration, Douglas. Pyburn & Co. are other ener getic members of the legal fraternity. They offer their services to the county for 2,*> per cent of all moneys recovered from the state as consideration for the support of indi gents. The law of 1880-83 is quoted. This matter was also taken under consideration. J. W. Ferree was appointed bee inspector In place of Elon Hart, who resigned, and H. D. Robertson's resignation as Lancaster pound Inspector was lilled by the appoint ment of C. W. Hutch. The bids of Laventhal & Sons nn whiskies for use at the county hospital and that of Steams & Sons on wines were accepted. J. A. Sevey was refused a license for con ducting a restaurant at Gard c na and E. B. Karnsworth was refused a license to con duct the saloon known as the "Red House." Jean Monquier's petition for a San Gabriel saloon license was tiled. Sixty days' further time was granted tht contractors on the courthouse elevator. GOT ALL SHE HAD Gambled It Away Then Left Her to Her Own Resources According to the story of Mrs. Lena Downs, told on the witness stand in JuHge Shaw's court yesterday, she is the victim of an arch conspirator who loved and mar ried for a mercenary purpose, and having exhausted the possibilities in the desired direction left for greener tields and pas tures new. Lena Harrison and James R. Downs were married only two short years ago. according to plaintiff's allegation, after a courtship extending over a comparatively short period, during which, however, the inexperienced maiden was induced to be lieve that her suitor was a man of inex haustible means and with such rare capa bilities as an accountant that scores of lucrative positions were constantly seek ing his services. That such was by no means the case the young wife learned soon after their marriage, but the real con ditions were not fully realized before the husband had sold his eonllding spouse's piano, watch and every other valuable on which he could lay hands. The adventurer then had no further use for a family and refuted to contribute to its support. The dosing 1 episode in thf romance took place yesterday in the su perior court, when the wife was granted a divorce on the ground of non-support. WANTED AN OPINION But the Court Did Not See Necessity for Any Attorney Whitney was the first man to jump into action in Judge Shaw's court yesterday. He apparently did so with n previous determination to get to the bot tom of the court's reasons for so uncere moniously knocking out his proceeding against Gregory Perkins, jr., and Attorney Dunning for contempt. The court had merely found them not guilty and ordered their discharge, and the order was duly enured in the clerk's journal. Whitney stated to the court yesterday that he un derstood the matter had been decided, but could tind no opinion given in the record. "You will find all the opinion there that is necessary*" said the judge. "Well, will not the court give an opinion In the case?" asked Whitney, persistently. "All I have to say is that the parties had a perfect right to bring another suit after being defeated In one. The ground of your proceeding might be a matter plead ing in bar, but there was no contempt,'' The court dismissed the question with this explanation and took up other business while Mr. Whitney walked disconsolately out of the court room. QUE MOY DEPORTED Another of the Atlanta Chinese Theat rical Troupe Que Moy. another of the poor little Chinese women who came to this country with the theatrical troop to the Atlanta exposition, was ord'eretl deported by Commissioner Van Dyke. Que had been "married" to a highbinder and there was much less inter est manifested In her case hy the popula tion of Chinatown than is usual on trials for violation of the exclusion act, espe cially of women. She heard the order that remanded her to her native country with the same immovable countenance and stolid air that never under any stress of circumstances deserts the women of her race. There is not much happiness in store for Que Moy and such as she, for it is slav ery if she goes and slavery if she stays and degradation a thousands-fold worse. WANTS HIS PAY Rebman Put a Deep Hole in the Earth According to Contract John Rebman has brought suit In the superior court against the East Whittler Land and Water company to enforce the payment of-money due for we ll drilling. The"plaintiff alleges that in April he en tered into a contract with the defendant to drill a well on certain lands in township 2. By the terms of the contract the company was to pay him $3 per foot for the firs* 1000 feet, $3.25 per foot for the next 100 feet and $3.50 fo.r each foot beyond 1100 feet. The plaintiff alleges that when a depth of 1144 feet was reached the parties mutually agreed that work be discontinued, but the LOS ANGELES HERALD: THURSDAY MORNING. AUGUST 4, 1898 company has paid only $1100 on the con tract. Plaintiff therefore sues for $2379 balance due. 9TWO HOLD STOCK t But One Footed the Bills, According to Plaintiff's Complains Peter Kehl has brought suit against E Somers to recover $624 due him under an agreement to which the two were parties. The plaintiff alleges that he and the de fendant are stockholders In the Electric Power company, and that he has spent $:;169.7S in purchasing property and im provements for the organization, the other members of which agreed to pay him their portions of the amount as soon as theysold their stock holdings. He claims that the defendant has sold a portion of his stock, hut refuses to pay anything toward the ac count as agreed, hence the suit. Stopped the Sale Attorney Appel asked Judge Shaw for a stay of execution yesterday ln order to prevent the sale of 1723 acres of land which was a part of the I.eonis estate. The court had ordered the sheriff to sell It to satisfy the Judgment awarded to Elizabeth Mur ray some time ago in her suit against Etch epare. Mrs. Leonis' agent, ln whose name the property now stands. A suit is pend ing, however, by which Mrs. I.eonis seeks to recover the land from Btchepare, and the Murray judgment may eventually be paid by Mrs. I.eonis. One-Legged Culprit George Krown. alias John Collins, charged with burglary, pleaded guilty in the supe rior court yesterday and was committed to the lone reform school until September. 1902.

Kings bury on June 30th and stole a coat and vest. The boy exonerated Francisco Denis, an old man who was also arrested for connection with the crime. Dismissed the Case Deputy District Attorney James yester day dismissed the case of the people against Angel Mason before Justice Wilson at San (Jahriei. Mason was charged with assault ing Pablo Rocha with a deadly weapon, but is It was found that the defendant only fired a shot which accidentally hit the com plaining witness and that the affair was the outcome of a quarrel in which Mason was assaulted with a knife in the hands of Rocha's father, the matter was dropped.
