R. Lilienthal against the Spring Valley Water Company for 375,000 damages and a perpetual Injunction to restral it from boring wells or pumping water frem those which it has already in operation there. Lilienthal sets forth that he is the owner of a large number of acres of land in the vicinity of Pleasanton and owns the property of the Pleasanton Hop Com- pany and several hundred acres of land used for the raising of sugar beets. Ow- ing to the draining of the country of water the beets are no longer a success, and a great loss has resulted in conse- guence, this land being more profitable for the raising of beets than any other crop. The land adjoins that of the Pleasanton Hop Company, which last week brought suit for $100,000 damages to. its property, and petitions for a perma- ment injunction to restrain the Spring Valley from pumping.

With Manager of Affair and Reserves His Decision BERKELEY. March 1.—Official cog- nizance was tiken by the university au- thorities of the flaming posters issued by the management of the sophomore burlesque, in which mijld profanity .is used, when President Wheeler to-day summoned Van Phinney, manager of the burlesque arrangement, and ques- tioned him about the posters. The 'scarlet sheets flare at passers- by on many parts of the campus, in- forming all who gaze that the “Comedy of Terrors, or All's Well That Ends in Hell,” will be produced by the sopho- mores in Oakland next week. The sul- phurous suggestiveness of the posters| is saild to be indicative of the red hot characteristics of the burlesque, the scene of which is laid in the under ‘world, ‘with university officials posed as parts of the government of the king- dom below. President Wheeler, it is sald, was told by Professors Moses and Edwards of the posters, which offended by the lan- guage used in the announcement of the burlesque. Much is forgiven the sopho- more contingent of the university, but apparently the line has to be drawn somewhere and as a preliminary Man- ager Phinney was called Into consulta- tion with President Wheeler. President Wheeler reserved his de- cision in the matter and the sophomore class now awaits with fear and trem- bling the dictum that may spell the end of its sensational advertising campalgn and the downfall of the lurid posters on the campus.
