The Supreme Court decided yesterday that Ukiah City was not entitied to damages from the Ukiah Water and Improvement Company by reason of the losees sustained by the former at a fire where the water supply did not prove adequate. The municipal author- i maintained that the corporation was under contract to furnish a suffi- cient supply of water for fire-fighting purposes. ! The Supreme Court holds that there wag no express covenant in the contract providing for any special quantity or pressure of water. Numerous authori- ties are cited to show that in cases like the one at bhar no damages may be ob- tained unless the terms bf the contract ecifically provide for services which are not given in the emergencies where losses are sustained. A jury in the lower court rendered a verdict in favor of the town. The Judge granted the motion for a new trial and an avpeal was taken from his order by the plaintiff. The Supreme Court sus- tains the decision of the Judge of the lower court. —ee————— Charged With Burglary. Two men entered the room of G. G.

Labrousse had been paying his ad- dresses to Miss Marie Jordan, a sales- woman in a store on Kearny street, but owing to an objection to his habits he had been asked to stop calling at her mother’s house, 1459 Sacramento street. On September 29, when she went home to her lunch, Labrousse was wuuma for her as she stepped off the car Sacramento and Hyde streets. He spoke to her and walked beside her till they reached her mother’s house. When they got inside the front gate Labrousse quickly pull- ed a revolver out of his pocket and As she lay on the ground he fired another shot at her, then placed the revolver to his left ear and pulled the trigger twice, | Sweet sléep comes to the baby who is properly fed with a but each time the cartridge failed to | proper food.
