Fisher, a junk peddler, with maliciously mutilating His horse, yesterday before Judge Owens withdrew his plea of not guilty and made clean breast of the affair. He seemed to be greatly affected by his position and asked that he be dealt with as lightly as The court then proceeded to give him a lecture on his apparent depravity, telling him that a boy who would cut a dumb animal would wind up his career in the if he did not mend his ways. He was then given a suspended sentence of 850 fine or fifty days in the city jail, with the understanding that if he was brought befor him again ahe court would order him to serve the full sentence.

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16, 1898 ANOTHER SUIT ADDED TO THE STRING IN THE WATER CONTROVERSY CITY TO BE SUED FOR DAMAGE Finance Committee Denies Company's Demand--Protest Against Stopof Storm Drains page session of 1 the finance comAt the weekly mittee of the city council held yesterday, following communication, bearing the Chapman and White signatures of J.

We therefore demand a that said claims be acted The letter was addressed the finance committee and was under date of October 8. The committee meanwhile had obtained the advice of the city's attorneys in the matter and in their report to the council on Monday will recommend the formal denial of the These demands, as demarommunication from the water company states, were filed on July 29, and after reference to the finance committee at the regular session of the council the week following, were pigeonholed until the receipt of the above letter. They are, a consequence of Judge Wellborn's decision in the Untted States circuit court wherein it was held that the city has no right to fix rates of water rental below the minimum schedule named in the contract then existing between the elty and the company.

On the strength of this decision, the company puts in a claim for damages in the sum of $150,104.50, the largest reading as follows: The Los Angeles City Water company presents this demand on the city treasury of the city of Los Angeles for the sum of $105,600, being for damages accruing to the Los Angeles City Water company during the year commencing July 1, 1897, and ending June 30, 1898, by reason of the action of the city in fixIng rates to be collected by the water company for supplying water to the inhabitants of said city, at less than the amount fixed as the minimum rates in the contract of July 22, 1868, between the city of Los Angeles President Beaudry, Solomon Lazard and John S. Griffin, and assigned to the Los Angeles City Water company. The rates were fixed by ordinance of the city council of Los Angeles in February, 1897, and established the rates to be collected for the year commencing July 1, 1897, and ending June 30, 1898; and which was in violation of said the Los Angeles City ordinance, Water company was damaged thereby In the diminution of its receipts from water rates. $105,600. The other demand is for 44,504.50, designated as the amount lost by the company In the period from July 1, 1896, to June 30, 1897, in consequence of the operation of a rate ordinance.

The city having appealed from Judge Wellborn's decision, council will, of course, approve the finance committee's recommendation that the demands be and the company will immediately bring a suit to recover the amounts. Thus is another piece of water litigation started merrily on its way. BRADSHA PROTESTS Contends That Water Dumped on Furrey Tract Is Not All His T. T. Bradshaw, owner of certain lots fronting on Orange street between Witmer and Vernon streets, and against the drainage water from which Major W.

C. Furrey has been endeavoring to obtain relief, has decided to take a hand in the matter himself. At the board of public works meeting on Friday. Major Furrey presented such argument as led the board to recommenr the closing of the drainage pipe which carries the water from Bradshaw's property and dumps it upon the Furrey tract, two blocks below. This action was really grounded on the representtation that the water originated on Bradshaw's property and was therefore his responsibility.

Mr. Bradshaw wears another pair of glasses and consequently sees things differently. Yesterday he filed a protest and cross-petition, in which he objects to the closing of the drain pipe in question: and gently hints that proper action in the matter at this time will save large costs to the city and great detriment and trouble. He contends that while a part of the accumu lation of water is due to the presence of a flowing spring on his lets. much of it comes from the drainage of a natural ravine which begins as far north Temple street.

and for which he is in no wise responsible. His protests insists that the drain in question, together with certain culverts under Sixth. Seventh and Orange streets, were put in by the city for the very purpose of carrying the water in this ravine and that its stoppage will result in material damage to his property and that of people further north. Council is therefore petitioned to prevent the stopping of the drain pipe and the consequent damage. WILL EXAMINE ITS MERITS Girls' Industrial School Not Yet Granted a Donation From Council Mrs.

Mary E. Threikeld was before the finance committee yesterday to urge favorable action on her petition for a monthly donation to the Stimson-Lafayette Industrial school. She stated that the school is now supported wholly by private donations which cannot entirely be depended upon from month to month. This vaciliating condition of the institution's finances prevents its growth and oft-times forces a sudden retrenchment which is diehealthy, astrous to well-laid plans for advancement. It was urged that the school is a private affair in no sense of term and is therefore as much entitled, to recognition in distribution charity as other enterprises of a similar character.

The finance committee took the matter under consideration and will investigate the merits of the case before making a report. The petition asks for $40 per month or any other sum. The committee will recommend the ap- NEWS OF THE RAILWAYS HEAVY FREIGHT SHIPMENTS EMBARRAESS THE ROADS Santa Fo Officials Take Measures to ExpeZite Trains--Notes and Personals Both of the overland routes from this city to the east are having great trouble In handling the large amount of freight that is being offered every day. The situation has reached a degree amounting almost to a freight blockade on the Santa Fe, while the Southern Pacifle cannot get cars enough to meet the demands of shippers. Yesterday a conference between the general officers of the Santa Fe Pacific line and Division Master Mechanics W.

A. McGarvin of Winslow and P. C. Alien of Needles, and Superintendent of Machinry C. Smith of Albuquerque was terminated and those officers returned to their homes.

The outcome of the discussion was not made public, but it is well understood that the men will have to redouble their efforts to handle the freight promptly and prevent the collection of trains on the side tracks for want of motive power. There will have to be a decided addition, It is thought by those who should know, to the supply of locomotives of the Santa Fe Pacifle, while the company's shops are turnIng out box cars as fast as the men can put them together. The Southern Pacific 1s better supplied with power, but has a shortage of cars. 60 that none are allowed to stay idle a moment, and shippers are obliged to unload under high pressure. This all means wealth for the farmers and the roads, for nine-tenths of the shipments east are of California products, which have been, or w1ll be sold at a good price.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY Charles Carson Held to Answer to the Superior Court Charles Carson, who was arrested Friday night for snatching a sack of money from Conductor C. J. Smith of the East Side electric line, while the latter was counting his change near the Baker bloek, was held to answer to the superior court yesterday by Justice Owens, who placed his bonds at $2000.

While the justice court considered the evidence against Carson sumelent to hold him to answer, there is a strong probabilIty that he may be released in the higher court for lack of evidence. So far there has been no witness who saw Carson snatch the sack. This, with the fact that he was arrested there was no money Polend on his person, is considered a possible loophole out of which Carson may escape. With these facts in view the prosecution has decided to dig up if possible as much of Carson's back history as will prove detrimental to his reputation. Little or nothing is known of him in the city, as he arrived here last Monday.

According to 1 own testimony, Carson has led a rolling sort of a life, never stopping long enough in one place to be identified with it.

Full Back Police Court Notes It was a quiet day in the police court yesterday, owing to the unusual calm all along the line in criminal matters. Charles Marabell, who beat a crib woman with a rock, was found guilty by Justice Owens and given a sentence of $20 or twenty days. The prisoner was willing to pay the fine, but owing to the incapacity of his pocketbook he selected the day feature of his sentence. The court remarked, when he viewed the rock that Marabell was lucky that he escaped the charge of assault with a deadly weapon. The charge of disturbing the peace against Angelo Caldera was dismissed for lack of evidence.

Caldera was arrested Wednesday for throwing furntture around In his saloon near the Plaza.
