PSR Overcharge of Dynamite at College Avenue Grading Work Plays Havoe With the Residence of Patrick Fee. pet 0 Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, July 11, A wall of rock torn asunder by a heavy blast of dynamite crushed the residence of Patrick Fee, 301 College avenue, Berkeley, to-day, wrecking the dwelling and causing its occupants to flee for their lives. The disaster was due to the use of too heavy a charge of explosive in the | work of tearing out the mass of rock which is being destroyed in the grading | of College avenue. Fee's place looked as if it had been in the path of a Nebraska cyclone after the shower of huge bowlders had ceased to rain upon the debris of his Ilfttle home. The front of the house was completely | wrecked, all that remained being the splintered boards and the holes in the | few standing sections, where masses of stone had been hurled with the violence of a catapult through the walls, One great bowlder tore along the front and swept away the steps and entrances as cleanly as if they had been cut with a huge knife. Companion blocks of rock layed havoc with the roof and sides, here were in the dwelllni two or three persons, including Fee, who had barely time to clear out before the wreck. Fee was sl by a section of the fall- ing walls of his house. . 'ghp blast tore up his well-kept gardens and walks and left little but complete | ruln where had stood a tasty home, sur- | rounded with pretty embellishments in | cultivated plants and foliage. Fee de- | clares he will recover for the damage | wrought to his home, which, it is esti- mated, will reach $1500. + 34+ O 4404040404 | ATE FIFTY GRAINS AKLAND, July 11.—To take forty to fifty grains of mor- phine a day and cry for more is the record of Albert But- ler, a miserable specimen of humanity who pleaded guilty to burglary before Judge Ellsworth to-day. During his confinement in the County Jail Butler's allowance was reduced to a grain a day, sufficient to produce sleep in a per- son of normal physical condition, It was entirely ineffectual in this wretched “flend’s” case. Deprived of his customary quantity Butler faded to a wreck and had to be carried into court to plead. He robbed J. P. Robinson's room at 111 San Pablo avenue to get money with which to buy the drug.

SOLWAY, Minn., July 11.—The Blanket Indians at Red Lake are in a sullen mood and trouble is feared. The Government has erected a $30,000 school at that point and these Indlans seriously object to any attempt at civilizing them. They refused annuities from the Government for a number of years, claiming that the Gov- ernment has not given them their just portion of the Indian money. ‘White settlers near the reservation are | arming themselves and gathering to- | gether, fearing an attack, Arms and am- ! munition have been sent from Solway and a call probably will be made for State troops.

To | be a little more specific, the city of | Oakland is paying the expenses of the lit- igation that is being waged against it by the Contra Costa Water Company in its | effort to make the people pay interest | upon an inflated valuation of the corpora- tion’s plant. | This is what the injunction issued by | Judge Hart yesterday preventing the en- | | forcement of the new water rate ordi nance did. It forced the people of Oak- land to supply the sinews of war to the | | water company and at the figures select- | | ed by the water company itself. So the water rate payers of Oakland have the supreme satisfaction of knowing that the money that they pay into the coffers of | the Contra Costa Water Company is be- | ing used partly to prosecute the litiga- tion that is expected not only to restore the old rates but to bring thé water rates | of the city up to a point higher than ever | before. The constitution of the State of Califor- | nia prohibits a water company from col- lecting illegal rates under penalty of the | forfeiture of its plant and franchise. Judge Hart has issued an injunction un- | der which the Contra Costa Water Com- pany has fixed its own water rates. The ‘Kremgau\'es of the Oakland City Council ave been usurped by the Contra Costa Water Company, which has named the water rates for ihe city. Under this in- junction the Contra Costa Water Com- pany is collecting the rates that it has it- self fixed, and the people, the Council and the constitution no longer count. Such thirgs as the elected representatives of the people and the organic law of the State are passe and are to be relegated to the scrap heap of uselessness when it comes to dealing with corporations. Collection of Rates Begins. The Contra Costa Water Company be- gan the collection of water rates for July to-day. It is true that the bond of the | company, which it agreed to furnish and | which the injunction order of Judge Hart requires, was not filed until late this after- noon, but this very slight irregularity made no difference. and the collection of | water rates began early in the morning. | The Contra Costa Water Company has | issved its regular bills for July, but there has been printed in red ink across the face of the bill a little indorsement which | reads: Received amount specified to be held until the final determination of the litigation involv- | Ing validity of ordinance establishing rates for the year beginning July 1, 1900, and ending | June 30, 1901. If ordinance be held valid, amount to be applied in payment at legal rate, balance to be returned, without intarest. 1¢ | | held invalld amount to be in payment for | water specified.

Now that the injunction has been issued the bills have been sent out, and mone: is being collected with the old-time ra- pidity. “We b egan collecting money this morn- ing,” said President J. H. T.

The agreement that is printed across the face of the bill is signed by our collec- tors and is a guarantee to the rate payer that we will do as we promised about re- bating or refunding the difference should the ordinance be declared legal. Of course, we do not belleve that the ordi- nance which would have gome into effect at the first of this month is legal. We will collect under the old rates and will hold that money in trust for the rate payers until a final decision by the court as to what rates shall prevail. We have cured a temporary suspension of the new ordinance. That Is all that I was fighting for. It remains with the attor- neys to do the rest.” Tn the aftcrnoon President Watkinson flled with County Clerk Jordan the bond required/ with Aivinza Hayward and Wil- liam J. Dingee as sureties. There was filed also an agreement with the bond and copies of the Injunction and the order anting the injunction. What will be done now by either side is not being di- vulged, except that the Contra Costa Water Company is going ahead with its collection of water rates. No Move to Examine Books. The city of Oakland has secured its pe‘!‘- the in examine the books of water company and has sixty days which to do this work. Though the c was at liberty to begin work to-day not ing in this direction was done. No appli- cation was made to the officlals of the for the books, and it was Attorney Robert Y.

Mr. Hayne took an exception to the order vesterday, indicating some move of this kind. The Bond and Agreement. The bond and the agreement filed by the Contra Costa Water Company this afternoon constitute a very interesting se- ries of documents, a study in how not to say things. They read: © Know all men by these presents: That the Contra Costa’ Water Com- pany, the plaintiff above named as principel, and Alvinza Hayward of the county of San Mateo, State of Califor- nia, and William J.
