WATER SUPPLY
Iff LOS ANGELES
Los Angeles, Nov. 17.—Practic
ally the entire flow of the Los
Angeles Aqueduct, this city's
chief source of water for domes
tic and industrial uses, was di
verted into the Owens River near
Lone Pine, about 20 miles north
of here, by a raiding party of 60
men who stormed the aqueduct
guards Sunday and threw open
the water gates.
Sheriff Collins, in Inyo county,
telegraphed Governor Richardson
for troops, declaring immediate
action by the military is all that
can prevent bloodshed.
The attackers announced they
would continue to waste the water
until a committee came from Los
Angeles and “settled” the water
rights controversy with them.
Sheriff Collins, after vainly en
deavoring to have the waste gates
closed, returned to Independence
to telegraph the facta to Govern
or Richardson.
Party Reinforced.
Before dusk last night the raid
ing party bad been re-inforeed
by 40 additional men and was in
unquestioned control of the aque
duct.
Sheriff Collins said there were
200 sympathizers ready to join
the raiders at a moment’s notice.
According to telephone informa
tion received by officials of the
of power and light here,
the raiders rode to the gates
about 10 a. m. They were oppos
ed by Frank Yasky, gate tender,
who lives nearby.
Ignoring him the raiders open
ed the gates.
Ed Leahy, superintendent of
electrical > construction in the val
ley, accompanied by Van Norman,
came to the gates at Lasky’s call
and Sheriff Collins arrived about
half an hour later.
Identify. Leader.
Van Norman said he recognized
a prominent Owens Valley busi
ness man as one of the leaders of
the party, and demanded of him
that the. gates be closed again.
Sheriff Collins made a similar de
mand. Both were ignored. Col
lins wrote down the names of the
men in the party whom he recog
nized.
