spelled phonetically as follows: eff
nj, It tie, "e-t-h" eth. 1t seemed to him
that man who wrote dead 'dedd' and
debts diets" was so far com mitted to the
phonetic method that he could reasona-
bly, be supposed to think that "fifteth"
would spell fiftieth.
There was some suggestion that the
vowel IN the last syllable was an ''i'' IN
stead OF an ''e," but ATTORNEY W. II. II.
Hart Informed the court that an enlarged
photograph had been made of the word
and that it was settled beyond question
that Mr.. Hendy intended to write an &C."
Mr.. Hart also directed the attention of
the court to the fact that Samuel ]. Hen
dy and John Hendy, who had helped to
build up the fortunes of the dead man as
well as Mrs. Green and Mrs. McGurn,
mem bers of the family, for whom Mr..
Hendy had great affection, had not re-.
ceived any stock of the Hendy Machine
Company by the terms of the will. He ar
gued that it would not be likely for the
deceased to act more literally to young
man VINO was not IN any way related to
him than to his own flesh and blood. The
| testimony showed, Mr.. Hart said, that
Mr.. Manner was a poor young fellow
when he went to work for Hendy; that
Hendy found him sitting on the steps of
the machine-shop one morning; that
Manner told him he was strapped
t10b lci W4buOub mGduS Ut Capital OUTSIDE
OF strong hands and willing heart; that
Hendy gave him employment and kept
him until his death, ten years later.
1t was known that Hendy thought
much of Manner, but it would scarcely be
contended that he intended to give him
so much more than the other legatees
under the will. Besides, it was obviously
the intention OF the testator to keep the
Hendy Machine Works in the Hendy
family, but if Mr.. Manner were to be
awarded one-fifth of the testator's stock it
would take the control out of the hands of
the surviving members of the Hendy
family.
Attorney w. T. Baggett informed the
court that he desired to have five days in
which to file a brief in reply to the argu-
ments by Mr.. Young and Mr.. Hart.
THAT is your right" said Judge Coffey,
and the case will come up for further
hearing next Wednesday.

A NEW WORLDS
TANDEM RECORD
Fast Riding of Kraft and
Dixon at the Velo-
drome Track.
Mcfarland and Stevens Also
Bring Down Two Coast Pro-
fessional Marks.
Russ, New Rider, Beat Kenna in the
Handicap Amateur Event-Wells
and "Bob" Terrill Unplaced.

The third meet held at the new Velo-
drome cycle racing track yesterday after
noon furnished better days sport than
either of the two previous ones, and the
attractive programme drew larger crowd.
The men are steadily improving in condi-
ton, and as they are now thoroughly ac-
customed to the track, the racing is faster
and devoid of accidents.
Wells defeated Downing in the first heat
of the two-thirds mile scratch, profess
sional, after holly contested ride, show
ing that the big Bay City f1ier is fast
rounding into his true form.
The second heat was very prettily rid
den between Foster. Terrill, Whitman,
Boyden and Slater. and you could have
covered the ent re field with blanket as
they crossed the tape, finishing in the or
der name in 1886.
Neither Bob Terrill, Jones nor Nc
Crea could ride fast enough to qualify in
the third heat, which was won easily by
Becker of Minneapolis in 1888 LIS, Dow of
Seattle second.
Ed Chapman, Olympic, paced the final,
and made 1t SO very fast that they beat the
coast record one second. Foster had the
pole and was never headed. though closely
pressed by Terrill and Becker. Wells was
tHIOWA Oub VI Ills SiTlQc Oh tHt ldSb tuTu
and could do no better than fourth.
Downing was last. The time was 1 :27 1-5.
The first event of the day was the Velo-
drome shield match race, between w. A.
Terrill, Bay City, and w. e. Becker OF
Minneapolis. AS prophesied il THE CALL
yesterday, Terrili forfeited to Becker to
save himself for the two-thirds mile
scratch, professional, the purse for the
latter event being larger than that for the
shield race. Becker rode the mile alone
unpaced to qualify for the prize, making
it in 2:21. Terrill did not qualify in his
heat of the two-thirds, however.
The two-thirds mile scratch, amateur,
was run in five heats. Those who quail
fed for the final we're: ]. r. Kenna, Bay
City; @. FL. Crafts and ii. w. S1uires,
Acme; E. f. Russ, Olympic and B. G.
Raynaud, Bay City. The final was paced
by G. E. Kroetz, Olympic. After one
false start they got going. Kenna jumped
the pacemaker and took the lead. On the
third lap Raynaud fell, bringing Russ and
Crafts down with him. They were not
hurt and jumped on their wheels and fin
ished, Russ getting third, Kenna and
Squires having fin ished ahead of him in

A FORTUNE HANGS
ON A LIT TIE WORD

Charles Manner May Get
One Hundred Thousand
Dollars.
Then, Again, 1t May Amount
to Only Ten Thousand
in Value.
When the Late ]. S. Hendy Wrote
"0ne-Fifteth in His Will,
What Did He Mean {?

1t is not every man who is able to say
that the Interpretation of the meaning of
single letter makes difference of SOC, 900
O to him, yet that is the position of Charles
Manner, for many years connected with
the Hendy Machine Works of this City.
If Judge Coffey's decision goes his way his
purse will be ten times as big as the
$40, 600 prize for which Sharkey and Fitz-
simmons fought in the ring and for which
they are now squabbling in the courts;
but if it goes against him he Will still get
as much as was offered by the National
Athletic Club, with nothing to be de-
Quoted for costs of training and subse-
quent litigation.
The photography of the late ]. s. Hendy
was not altogether above criticism, and
his originality in this branch of learning
has led to prolonged discussions by many
attorneys in Judge Coffey's department
of the Superior Court.
Some time before Mr.. Hendy's death he
decided to make a will, and to dodge q
-. lawyers fee by writing the document
himself.
Mr.. Manners interest in constituting the
will depends on brief clause which reads
as follows:
give to Charles Manner one-ffteth of nv
S took in the Hendy Machine Company
The reason for asking the court to con-
strue the meaning of this disputed word
was that an effort has been made to settle
CERTAIN contentious among the relatives
A certain amount of money was necessary
TO consummate the arrangements, and In
open court samuel Nj. Shortridge an
nounced that he represented the CAPT.
taIist who stood ready 10 advance the
coin.
> Upon that Attorney E. B. Young took
up the argument against Mr.. Manners
view Of the case. He said that the testi-
mony showed that Mr.. Manner was not
related to the testator, and that 1t ap-
peared that the intention as indicated in
the will was TO give all the young men
associated with him enough to equal
about $1,000 year extra compensation.
If this were interpreted to read ''one-fif-
tleth'' it would allow Mr. Manner $1,000 a
year during the time he was in the service
Of the deceased, but If it were to be said
that it meant ''one-ffth," that would
give him about $4,000 year extra.
Analysing the mechanical process of
writing the word. Mr.. Young said that in
his opinion when Mr.. Hendy came to
this part of the will he must have rea-
soned to himself that fftieth ought 10 be
