CARRY OFF ENGINE
New York, Nov. }8.— Accused
of stripping \n automobile of
every possible removable part
and fixture, three Yonkers youths
were arraigned in Yonkers city
court on charges of petit larceny.

Lone Pine, Cal., Nov. 18.—An
army of ranchers without guns,
with no acknowledged leader, but
acting in unison, backed by wives
and daughters, last night was
camping on the Alabama gate of
the Los Angeles aqueduct, defy
ing all county and city authorities
in its determination to waste
Los Angeles water until the city
shall make a settlement of the
*. water war” that has raged for
years in Owens River Valley.
Late yesterday Sheriff Charles
Collins, of Inyo county, served
the assemblage with the county
superior court’s order designed
restrain the ranchers from
fering with the aqueduct, but
had no appreciable affect on
situation.
Without a Lea'er.
Copies of the legal

put them in their pockets.
threw them into the
where hundreds of gallons
v/ater are rushing by every
ute away from, instead of
the city of Los Angeles.
‘‘Where is your leader?”
little army was asked.
“We have none, but we are
ing together,” was the reply.
big city has fooled us
long enough, taking the water
the land and letting the land
waste. We’re going to stay
these gates until Los
city comes to terms and
nobody who can put us off,
least nobody but the militia. ft
u But,” said one man, and
threat was echoed by a chorus
a dozen hurt, “in shoving us
of here, it will mean the destruc
tion of the Los Angeles aque
duct,”
So' far as could be observed
there' wa* not a gun nor a pistol
in the whole crowd and the sheriff
was assured on every hand that,
contrary to statements reported
to have been made by the repre
sentatives of the city of Los An
geles, there was not an ounce of
dynamite on the Alabama Gate
site.
Camp Fires Burning.
Camp fires sprang up all round
the big spillway as supper time
drew near in the valley, and
wives, mothers and daughters
from the ranches throughout the
district began preparing the meal
in old-time pioneer fashion over
the open flames.
Bedding arrived in large quan
tities for the “army of occupa
tion,” and every evidence was ap
parent of an intention to stay on
the job until it is finished or un
til the militia comes. In reply to
an oft repeated question as to
what proportion of the ranch pop
ulation was behind the seizure
and opening of the waste gate,
the correspondent was assured by
more than a score of men that
“from 95 to 100 per cent of the
Owens River Valley approved of
the move.”
FROM SOLDIER,
WRITTEN 60 YEARS AGO,
IS FINALLY RECEIVED
Medina, N. Y., Nov. 18.—A let
ter written Match 13, 1864, by a
Civil War soldier at Fort Mc
Henry, Baltimore, Md., has just
been received in Medina.
Thg letter wan written by
James Fisk to his parents, Mr.
and Mrs. Henry Fisk, and i,t has
been delivered to his sister, Mrs.
Sarah Smith, of Shelby, a hamlet
south of Medina, who now is 84
years old. The parents died long
ago.
The only explanation for the
delay is that the letter was held
for the censor and laid aside with
army records and overlooked.

A Buick car driven by O. L.
Colquitt and a Ford with Ben I
Joiner at the wheel collided at the
intersection of Hill and Taylor
