THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES No. 7,502. The appeal in this case has been presented to the Court, on the judgment roll. This suit was brought by the plaintiffs against the city of Los Angeles, and the contest relates to the right to the use of the waters of the Los Angeles river, the plaintiffs claiming the right to use the same under an appropriation alleged to have been made by them or their grantors in the year 1844, and the defendant claiming the exclusive right to use the same for a period extending as far back as the year 1781. On the trial in the Court below, judgment passed in favor of the plaintiffs, and an injunction was ordered against the city and its agents, etc., as prayed for in the complaint. The plaintiffs are the owners of certain tracts of land described in their complaint, which are bounded on the easterly side by the Los Angeles River, and since the year 1844 they have used the water of said river with said water for the uses aforesaid, and when there has been more than has been required for use in the city it has and still does sell to parties residing without, and to be used on lands without, the city. "Sixth—That ever since about the year 1844 the plaintiffs and their grantors have owned, possessed and cultivated the land claimed by them in their complaints, and have ever since irrigated the same from said river through the respective ditches mentioned in the respective complaints, to wit, the Chavez and Feliz ditches, to about the same extent as now irrigated by the plaintiffs, using the waters, also, for domestic purposes; and the waters of said river are necessary for the irrigation of said lands and for domestic use. But the uses of said waters was originally by permission and under consent from the municipal authorities of said pueblo,and have ever since been, with such permission and consent, and not adversely nor claimed as of right until within the last three years, during which time (the last three years) plaintiffs have claimed, and still claim, the right to use said waters on their land and for domestic purposes. "Seventh—That plaintiffs are the respective owners of the land claimed by them in their complaint, and the respective ditches therein referred to are used and are necessary to irrigate the same; and said ditches have always been in the exclusive possession and control of said plaintiffs and their grant- IMPORTANT!

BLACKSMITHING AND WAGONMAKING! Removal. MR. H. A. STOUGH DESIRES TO INFORM THE public that he has removed his blacksmith shop to the shop on Lemon Street formerly occupied by H. J. McErmott, and respectively solicits the continued patronage of his many customers. One part of the shop is occupied by Mr. T. L. GAN. The plaintiffs are the owners of certain tracts of land described in their complaint, which are bounded on the easterly side by the Los Angeles River, and since the year 1844 they have used the waters of said river, through certain ditches constructed by them or their grantors, for the purpose of irrigating their said lands. In the month of May, 1879, the water in said river (in consequence of the use and diversion thereof by plaintiffs) became so reduced and diminished in quantity that a sufficient quantity thereof did not flow down the river below plaintiffs' ditches, to supply the wants of the city, and thereupon the said city, by its officers and agents, entered upon said ditches at their heads, and returned the water that was flowing through the same to the bed of the river, and the city has ever since held possession of said ditches, and prevented the waters of the river from flowing therein, and has prevented the plaintiffs from using the waters of said river. The loss of the water is the grievance complained of, and, after finding that the plaintiffs were entitled, as riparian owners, to divert a reasonable amount of the waters of the river for irrigation and domestic use, the Court "ordered, adjudged and decreed, that the defendant, the City of Los Angeles, its successors, agents, officers and attorneys, are perpetually enjoined and restrained from in any wise interfering with the ditch, or in any wise hindering or interfering with the said plaintiffs, or either of them, in their appropriation of a reasonable quantity of the waters of the aforesaid river, and using the same upon their said respective parcels of land for the purposes of irrigation and domestic uses." The following are the findings upon which the above decree was founded: "First—That in the year of 1781, pursuant to the laws of Spain and the rules and regulations providing for the government of the provinces of California, Los Angeles was duly formed into a pueblo and became entitled to all the rights of a pueblo according to said laws, rules and regulations and all its rights as such pueblo since then were duly recognized and allowed by the Spanish and Mexican Governments during their respective occupations and control of the same, and also by the respective provincial and departmental authorities of California. Second—That the river of Los Angeles rises several miles above the former pueblo of Los Angeles, and runs down through said pueblo, and during the occupation and control of said pueblo by the Mexican Government, the municipal authorities at all times exercised control of and claimed the exclusions right to use the waters of the Los Angeles river and all thereof, which right was duly recognized, acknowledged and allowed by the owners of the land at the source and bordering on said river, including the grantors of the plaintiffs," and that down to the period of two or three years last past, the municipal authorities have continued to exercise the same control and have claimed the same rights with respect to the waters of said river as was previously done by the pueblo. It further appears from the findings in the case that the use of said waters by the plaintiffs and their grantors was, in its origin, by per- BLACKSMITHING AND WAGONMAKING! Removal. MR. H. A.

To said laws, rules and regulations and all its rights as such pueblo since then were duly recognized and allowed by the Spanish and Mexican Governments during their respective occupations and control of the same, and also by the respective provincial and departmental authorities of California. "Second—That the river of Los Angeles rises several miles above the former pueblo of Los Angeles, and runs down through said pueblo, and during the occupation and control of said pueblo by the Mexican Government, the municipal authorities at all times exercised control of and claimed the exclusive right to use the waters of said river and all thereof, which right was duly recognized, acknowledged and allowed by the owners of the land at the source and bordering on said river, including the grantors of the plaintiffs, and that ever since the occupation and control of said pueblo by the Government of the United States, and of the State of California, the municipal authorities of what is now the city of Los Angeles, have exercised the same control and claimed the same rights in regard to the waters of said river as was previously done by the authorities of said pueblo, except within the last two or three years, when the right of said city to said waters has been disputed by the plaintiffs and others, and a right claimed by them to use said waters; that the municipal authorities of said pueblo and said city exercised control of said waters and claimed the exclusive right to their use as aforesaid, for the purpose of irrigating the lands of said pueblo and city, and for the domestic use of the inhabitants thereof. "Fifth—That the water of said river is necessary for the irrigation of the land within said city, and so confirmed as aforesaid, and also for the domestic use of its inhabitants, but until within the last two or three years all of said water has not been required in said city. For the last few years, during the irrigating season, all of said waters, as they naturally flow in said river, have not been sufficient for the irrigation of the irrigable portion of said lands and the domestic use of said inhabitants; and said city, at an expense of more than $100,000, has constructed reservoirs to husband and save said waters for uses in said city; that a large portion of the irrigable lands of said city are not irrigated, and never have been irrigated, which will require more than all the waters of said river, with the present facilities and resources of said city for husbanding and supplying the same. That said city has been supplying the inhabitants of said city the waters of the Los Angeles river and all thereof, which right was duly recognized, acknowledged and allowed by the owners of the land at the source and bordering on said river, including the grantors of the plaintiffs," and that down to the period of two or three years last past, the municipal authorities have continued to exercise the same control and have claimed the same rights with respect to the waters of said river as was previously done by the pueblo. It further appears from the findings in the case that the use of said waters by the plaintiffs and their grantors was, in its origin, by permission and with the license and consent of the municipal authorities, and that such use has ever since been with the permission and consent of said authorities, and not adversely nor claimed as a right, until within the last three years, during which time (the last three years) plaintiffs have asserted an adverse claim to said waters. Thus it will be seen that for nearly one hundred years the city of Los Angeles had asserted a claim to all the waters of the Los Angeles river, and such claim has been recognized by all persons interested from the head of the stream and along its banks, including the plaintiffs and their grantors. We say including the plaintiffs, because it appears from the sixth finding that the use of the waters of the river was under the license, permission and consent of the defendant, until within the last two or three years. It was conceded on the argument that the city had appropriated a portion of the waters of the Los Angeles river, before the plaintiffs constructed their ditches, and that the use by the city to the extent of such appropriation could not be interfered with by any subsequent appropriation; but it was contended that the rights of the city were limited to the amount appropriated at the time plaintiffs or their grantors built their ditch. Such a construction of the defendant's rights would not be in harmony with the facts found by the Court. From the very foundation of the Pueblo in 1781, the right to all the waters of the river was claimed by the Pueblo, and that right was recognized by all the owners of land on the streams, from its source, and, under a recognition and acknowledgment of such right, plaintiffs granted dug their ditches, and, by permission and consent of the municipal authorities, plaintiffs thereafter used the waters of the river. Can they now assert a claim adversary to that of the city? We think not. The city, under various acts of the Legislature. GAZETTE. 185, 1881.

(Act approved April 4, 1850; Statute of 1854, p. 205; Statute of 1857, p. 329.) We have not examined the rights of the defendant as they existed under the Spanish and Mexican laws applicable to Pueblos, for the findings in this case render such examination unnecessary. From the fifth finding it appears that when the acts complained of were done by the officers and agents of the defendant, all of the waters of the Los Angeles river were required, and were not sufficient to supply the wants of the city, and we are of the opinion that it was the right of the municipal authorities to prevent any diversion of said waters at that time by the plaintiffs. We do not intend to be understood as holding, nor do we hold, that the city has the right at any time to dispose of the water for use upon lands situated without its limits, to the injury of the plaintiffs or other owners of land bordering on the river. On the contrary, we are of the opinion that the city has not that right. But, as observed already, the findings in this case show that at the time of the acts complained of there was not sufficient water in the river for the needs of the inhabitants of the city, and we hold that, to the extent of the needs of its inhabitants, it has the paramount right to the use of the waters of the river, and the further right, long exercised and recognized, A gentleman reading in Switzerland writes as follows to the St Helena Star: "Here in the Canton de Vaud, on the shore of the lake of Geneva, the vineyards extend from the lake shore up the slopes of the Jura some 1200 feet, presenting from the lake a beautiful sight of terraces above terrace, towering as far as the eye can reach, all in vines. The vines, I would observe, are planted two feet each way—cut down as our custom is each year, and only four shoots left to grow, tied to a slight stake. All the labor is manual; no animal ever enters the vineyards; if manured, the dung is carried in baskets on men's backs. Two-pronged hoes (12-inch tines) are used to dig the ground—no plow being ever introduced. When the grapes are gathered, they are also carried away in baskets on the backs of men or women. BATTLE CREEK, Mich., June 17th. — Mrs. Nellie Ingram, since last October, has been unable to eat. After having a tooth pulled she experienced a terrible sickness and nausea. She attempted to eat food to sustain life, but the presence of food only produced a loathing. The experiment was tried until it became a torment, and she was at last given up. Since that date she has lain in bed, unable to take food or water. The attending physicians give injections, thereby sustaining life by the process of absorption, and nee baths of beef tea, milk and such the right at any time to dispose of the water for use upon lands situated without its limits, to the injury of the plaintiffs or other owners of land bordering on the river. On the contrary, we are of the opinion that the city has not that right. But, as observed already, the findings in this case show that at the time of the acts complained of there was not sufficient water in the river for the needs of the inhabitants of the city, and we hold that, to the extent of the needs of its inhabitants, it has the paramount right to the use of the waters of the river, and the further right, long exercised and recognized, as appears from the findings, to manage and control the said waters for those purposes. Judgment reversed, and the Court below is instructed to enter judgment in favor of defendant upon the findings. Morrison, C. G. We concur: Myrick, J. McKee, J. Ross, J. Sharpstein, J. Thornton, J.

Battle Creek, Mich., June 17th.-Mrs. Nellie Ingram, since last October, has been unable to eat. After having a tooth pulled she experienced a terrible sickness and nausea. She attempted to eat food to sustain life, but the presence of food only produced loathing. The experiment was tried until it became a torment, and she was at last given up. Since that date she has lain in bed, unable to take food or water. The attending physicians give injections, thereby sustaining life by the process of absorption, and use baths of beef tea, milk and such highly nutritious liquids, with an occasional bath of alcohol to keep the pores open. She has lived for eight months on this thin diet. Her weight has been reduced from 180 to less than 80 pounds. She has substantially lost her voice, and is unable to speak above a low whisper. In reply to a newspaper insinuation that Virginia City is going to decay, the Chronicle of that place says: "We are going to pay a tax of $5 on the $100 this year, and we have the most flourishing and hearty lot of paupers here that ever sun shone upon. We pay $20,000 a year to maintain the indigent, and there is no other place in the world where a gentleman who will not cut wood for $250 a cord can so readily obtain from the sympathizing authorities an order for a few week's provisions, a plug hat, or such other assistance as his sad condition calls for." Near Santa Barbara, during a recent hunt, some men shot a bear cub. Something called the attention of the hunters away from the spot, and when they returned a half hour afterwards, they found the mother bear standing over her lifeless cub, apparently engaged in licking and caressing its head. They shot the bear, and then found that she had staunched the flow of blood with finely chewed grass.
