The case OF the Santa Ana and West
Minister Railroad company We. E. L.
Sherman ct al. has occupied the atten-
ton of the superior court for the past
week. This morning the jury returned
verdict as follows: That E. l.. Sher-
man was entitled to $233 damages. T.
j. Harlin received judgment for $3.50,
and the property belonging to s. p.
Riggs was assessed at $3.50 also. Mrs.
Sarah A. Ames' damages were placed at
1903, while E. K. Calcord was allowed
800. l.. @. Barrett's land was damaged
1904 by the railroad crossing it. w. b.
Tedford and j. E. Young were allowed
$2l5 and Theo. and Sophia Pinther were
given the sum of $40. AS these
amounts are about one-tenth the value
of the real estate condemned the case is
not likely to rest here, but will undoubt-
edly be appealed to the supreme court.
NORRIS DEFEATS oUIRK.
Tommy @. Morris, Orange county's
sprinter, defeated James Quirk of
Brantford, Canada, this afternoon at
the race track in 75.yard match for
$4,000 side. Both men came out about
2:50 looking in the very pink of condi-
ton. Morris is of slight build, while
his opponent was a much heavier set
man and seemed determined to wipe
out his former defeat at the hands of
this same sprinter. A good start was
made and Morris at once took the lead,
being about four feet in advance at the
50yard mark. Quirk recovered some of
the lost ground in the last 20 yards, but
Morris won by about l5 inches in the
fast time of l seconds. This creates
a new worlds record as Quirk formerly
held the same at n seconds. A pro.
test was entered against paying the
stakes over by j. L. Black and James
Quirk, but no reasons were given for the
same. Quirk sold favorite in the pools
at $40 to 81. Among the queer bets
made was that of M. o. Forster of San
Juan of 30 head OF horses against 5000.
At last accounts Charles Durfee, final
stakeholder, was still in charge of the
purse.
