Nov. 16.—In the case of the town of Ukiah against the Ukiah #Vater and Improvement Company the jury last night brought in a verdict awarding the city the full amount of damages demand- ed. The municipal corporation sued the water company $570 75 for loss sustained by the city by fire on ghe night of July .6, 1889. When | the fire "was first discovered there was no pressure of water in the water mains and fire hydrants. It was found that the agent, of the company had shut off the watef gt the reservoir, over half a mile distant a stream could be turned on. When the prosecution concluded its tes- timeny in chlef vesterday Attorney Bled- soe, for the defense, moved for a non- suit on the ground that it had not been proved that any contract existed by the terms of which the water company was obligated to supply water, under pressure, for the extinguishing of fires. M goe took the ?mund that the simple terms of the franchise did not constitute a com- gle(- contract, but that a ~ontract, to be inding, must be in writing and signed by the proper officers of the respective corporations. Attorney J. E. Pemberton replied, taking the ground that the a.- | ceptance of the franchise by tbe com pany and the collection of rates fixed by the city made a binding contract. For a time it seemed fgom the remarks interjected by Judge Angellotti during the argument that his Honor was inclined to rant the motion for a nonsuit, but a North Carolina decision was finaily dug up by the Xrosocuunn which seemed per- suasive and the motion was denfed. Tie evidence then Introduced on the part of the defense was intended to show"that the city fire department was negligent . giving its attention to other bulldings which were on fire or threatened instead of availing of its opportunity to save the city property.
