An opinion was handed down in the
supreme court yesterday in the case
of the Brighton and North Point Irri-
CATION company, appellants, VS.. Chas.
c. Little ct al, in which the judgment
of the lower court is affirmed.
The action grew out of an old con-
tract to use water from a, certain ditch
for irrigating purposes 1t appears that
in the year of 1850 Feramorz Little
owned a canal through which he was
irrigating from the Jordan river ABOUT
200 acres of land Land owners below
Lttles farm later on organized a cor
poration known as the Jordan Irriga-
ton company. In 1868 Little trans
feTred TO this company his dam and
canal and the right of way through
his land in consideration for which the
company should furnish him as much
water as he was using for the irriga-
ton of his 200 acres. The company was
also given the right to remove a house
of his TO enable said company to
straighten the canal, fog which he was
to be paid $1,000.
The company took possession of the
canal and dam. In 1882 the old cOrpo-
ration Was succeeded by the North
L CA-A~ IL A7elSACAt IE-e4AJs WHICH Alol-AC
some Improvements and paid S200 on
the $1,000 for removing the house
1t appears that in 1892 the people in
charge of the Little farm cut the banks
of the ditch in as many as six different
places and took 50 much water as to
injure the supply of the people further
down the canal. Suit was instituted
in the Third district court which de-
cided in favor of Little The contract
showed thai the Little people We're en-
titled to use all wafer necessary for
the irrigation of the 200 acres. The
evidence was conflicting as 60 the guam
tity necessary for this but the court de-
cdded that the contract in this respect
had not been violated by Little.
One of the contentious of the plain
tiff was that Little had no right to cut
the ditch in 50 many places and that
the water taking should be under the
supervision of the Wafermaster as in
the case of the people using water fur
Their down the canal. The supreme tri-
bunal decides that the former does not
constitute a violation OF the cOnuac.,
there being no special provision, while
in the latter case there was nothing
compelling Little to take water under
the supervision of the watermaster.

Suit Brought By Alice Putnam, of
Park City, Yesterday
Alice Putnam instituted suit yester-
day in the Third district court against
her husband, William L. Putnam, for
an absolute divorce ON the grounds of
desertion.
The complaint recites that they were
married at Denver in November, 1888.
For eleven years they shared bed and
board together as we'll as pleasures and
appointments. There was a suffi-
cheney of the latter it seems and in
December. 1894, the man who had
sworn to love, protect and support
her deserted her without good reasons
and for more than a. year past has
now refused to contribute to her sup
port.
The defendant, the complaint alleges,
is engage as a miner in Park City,
where both parties reside, and receives
81. so per day. AS the plaintiff has no
means with which to support herself
and three children, the issue of her
marriage with the defendant, she asks
for d permanent aHmony of S25 per
month and the custody of the three
children.

hallway TICKET Agents MAY ADOPT
a New Scheme.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-The question
of adopting a brand of paper that can
not be counterfeited to be used by all
printing coupon tickets was discussed
by a committee appointed for that pur
pose at a meeting at the Murray Hill
hotel yesterday The committee, which
represented some of the largest firms
of railroad ticket printers in the coun-
try, included the following: Robert S.
Gardiner, chairman, of the Rand-Avery
Supply company OF Boston; Theodore
l. Lee of the American Bank Note
company, New York; John Reid OF
Rand, McNally e Co., Chicago; Will
lam H. Poole of Poole Bros, Chicago;
w. H. Woodward of the Woodward &
Tiernan Printing company st. Louis;
C. G.. Crawford of Wynkoop, Hallen
back & Crawford, New York; James NJ
Russo of Wood. Parsons & Co, AL
bany: John ID. Kurt of the John Lucas
company, Baltimore; Mr. Scott of Al
len, Lane & Scott, Philadelphia; Alex
s. Calhoun of Stevenson & Foster,
Pittsburg.
One after another the representatives
before the committee that they might
show samples of the paper which they
wished to have recommended and point
out its peculiar merits. After all the
samples had been submitted, the ex-
pert employed by the committee treat
ed the samples with acids sand in other
ways to determine If the Samples were
really what they were said to be. The
committee refused to make known the

based the report containing the rec
concentrations of the committee to the
American Association of General Ticket
and Passenger Agents, whose conv en-
ton meets in Atlantic City Septem-
Der Is.
The great increased number of
through routes of travel, formed by
friendly interchange of business be-
tween connecting lines has opened the
way for fraud and forgery in the issue
of coupon tickets. In a number of
cases tickets purporting to be issued
by an imaginary company, or by a
company which does not issue through
tickets, have been printed by unscru-
pulous persons and placed upon the
market The scalpers, knowingly, or
urlknowingly, have been the medium
through which these tickets have been
disposed of 10 the public. Often these
! bogus tickets have been hOnored by
conductors and paid for by the roads
accepting them This has involved
many lines in no inconsiderable loss.
In some cases, although there has been
no fraud in the manner of issue, yet the
issuing road has been found lacking
IN responsibility, and the connecting
roads have experienced much trouble
and oftentirles loss in their proper
tons of through rate, although the
road of issue had been paid for the
ticket and had long had the use of
the money belonging to it's connec-
tions

NEW YORK, Aug. 2O.-A morning
paper says: If all goes well the pick
of the 2-year-olds Of the world will
race over the Brighton Beach race
course in the year 1900 for the richest
stake for which a thoroughbred ever
did battle. The exact value of the
purse cannot be decided upon, but it
is estimated that it will be worth $l50.-
600. This is a richer prize than ever
has been hung up on the turf of any
country, and Will Engleman, the pro-
prietor of the Brighton Beach race
track, sees in it the opportunity of
making his course the most famous
as well as the most popular in Amer
lea.
The race in its conditions will be
fashioned on futurity lines, but it Will
go a great deal further than the fu-
turity and it will be made immeasur-
ably more attractive to the breeders,
by reason OF the fact that the owner
Of the sire of the first, second and
third horses viii be participants in the
big prize. Under the conditions of the
fufurity the owner or owners of the
dams of the first, second and third
horses receive $4,000 $1,000, and $1,000
the attraction of a prize for the own
ers of sires OF the first three horses, an
unusually large list of ominations is
assured
Mr. Engleman proposes to begin
work on this magnificent prize stake
at once. He aims to make it the great
est and richest ever run for, a race
that will attract to the American turf
the pick of the 2-year-olds of the
globe. In his efforts to secure a rec
ord-breaking list of nominations. he
will not confine himself to the breed
ers of this country He will send
agents to England, Germany and Aus
tralia To the breeders of these coun-
tries the richness and Importance of
the stake will be pointed out and all
will be asked to make nominations to
it What is more, every man who has
good sire or dam whose fame he is
anxious to make worldwide, will want
to have a nomination in this stake,
which will attract the attention of
turfmen in every part Of the globe in
which the race horse is known.

DIAMOND THIEF CAUGHT.
The SaItair Worker Arrested By
the Ogden Police.

The man who robbed a commercial
mans wife of her diamonds at Saltair
last night has been discovered. He
was captured last night at Ogden by
the city sleuths.
The thief gives his name as Harry
Hutchinson. When he fell into the hands
of the ogden detectives last night he
had adj the diamonds, consisting of a
brooch and earrings, in Lis possession.
The robbery at Saltair occurred in
one of the bath rooms, where the vic
tim of the theft left her sparl1lers while
bathing. The commercial man con-
cealed them in his hat band as a, safe
guard, but when they returned the
searchlights We're no more and no trace
remained of the pllrloiner except the
wet imprint of a hand in the hat.
The chief of police at Ogden notified
Chief Pratt of the capture at about
$50, and Detective Sheets left for Og-
den at once to take possession of the
prisoner. The landing OF Hutchinson by
the Ogden force was the result of some
very clever sleuthing. Hutchinson will
be brought to Salt Lake this morning.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2o-Chairman
Butler of the Popuiist national COM
mittee and Vice Chairman Stevens of
the sdlveriteS last night signed a con-
tract for the rental of that portion of
the old WorTnley hotel occupied by the
Democratic committee, and prepara-
tons will be made to move in at once

tiers. The three headquarters will, by
this arrangement, be under one roof,
and in the discrimination of literature
they will work together. Discussing
the question of fusion, Chairman But
Ter said:
THE national committee will not ap-
prove and cannot recognize fusion
where the Populisits and Democrats
have fused by the former taking the
state ticket and the latter all of the
electoral ticket. Bryan and Watson
were nominated by the overwhelming
vote of the convention, and that ticket
must be supported by all Populists.
Watson stands for what Bryan stands
I for. 1t is the only ticket that repre-
sents the people, and in which the
Populists believe. Sewall is no more
our candidate than is Hobart; and Pop
ulists cannot endorse any scheme or

morning and started up Main street
She suffered from a severe collision
during the voyage.
Schooner Jim left port with a light
cargo, which, after a few stops at
friendly ports, worked up to a fine
imitation of a jag. The Schooner had
not iron ribs and was tender, and
after the cargo was increased she
listed badly starboard, and the wind
got into her only remaining lung and
sails and sent her careening UP Main
street.
Here she pitched heavily and ran
into the rocks, and was only saved
from having her hull and clavicle shat t
tered by Pilot William Hilton coming
to the rescue. He passed a. cable and
towed the distressed craft, which was
getting more full every moment, TO
