The court granted the receivers per-

more than likely that none of the

be shut down, at least not from the
above cause.

poela all the dog men in the city to
appraise 'Toughey' and then make a
comparison as between the other dog
and his dog.
1t will be an interesting case in this,
that the recent decision Of the United
States supreme court declaring dogs
personal property will be brought up
in a Utah court for the first time, and
will be interpreted by Justice Sommer.
1t is expected that new lights will be
shed on the Judgment of the learned
justices when he once gets action.
OF course all this is premise. 1t may
be thai Neff will move for a change
OF venue. and in his affidavit set up
that the court is biased and prejudiced,
in this, that he owns q bull dog him
self: that he has a leaning toward
dogs of that kind and cannot be fair in
his decisions where a dog of that kind
is involved. These grounds would aD-
parently seem good, but then the court
could take umbrage and allege that he
was not man 10 be influenced by just
a dog. and ne could look viTtuous and
in mis- denial of the application indulge
in judicial rare and cTier tae defend
ant to stand Up to plead and teTrify
him out of his wits by his Judicial de-
meanor.
It is expected if the case goes to trial
that the prosecution will picture har-
rowing scene Of a low brc'wed man
coming to the place where West and
his dog lived in peace and quiet and
Wheedled her into coming cut TO the
front gate. after which ne tied a string
around her neck and dragged her away
from her happy home to his dog hatch
cry across the river, where the night
damp and the chill caused her to pine
and lose flesh; where the pink faded
from her nose and the light from her
eye; where her bonny white changed
to muddy yellow and her dainty teeth
became as sharp as razcrs in her mad
gnaWing ct bones on which there was
no meat And then the court would be-
come affected and would dream of
.'Touehey'' and rise in his judicial
wrath and give the offender so days or
$50 with costs added.
The case bids fair TO attract a great
deal of attention, and the ample court
room will have as many visitors today
as when Mrs. Hamilton was having her
hearing.

Decisive Conflict Looked For

Athens, May 2.-There are numerous
indications that the Ralli ministry in
tends to assume greater direct mill
tary and naval control and no longer
to divide the responsibility between the
ministry and the court The news of
the victory at Velestino has increased
General Smolenskis popularity and he
is now regarded as the real hero of the
campaign. A foreign officer who saw
the fight says that the Turks num-
bered 1000 and the Greeks 5000.
1t is believed that the decisive con-
fiict viii he fought at Pharsalos, and
probably tomorrow (MOnday). A dis
patch from Colonel Manos explaining
the retreat of the Greek forces in Pa
raeus says that the morals of the army
were somewhat affected by the news of
the retreat from Larissi. The entire
loss OF the Greeks in Epirus is esti-
mated at 200.

the river is within less than a foot of

San Francisco. May Sunday
racing was inaugurated today at the
Velodrome track in this city under q
sanction granted by the California
Associated Cycling clubs, the organiza-
ton which has displaced the League OIL
American Wheelmen in this state. fhe
attendance far exceeded the .expecta-
ton of the promoters. The grand
stand was packed and the spectators
were very enthusiastic and liberal in
their applause.
Today's showing leaves no doubt IN
the minds of local cyclists of the sue
cess CT the Sunday racing venture IN
California.
The racing today was only fair as a
high wind interfered with the riders
greatly and initiated against speedy
performances The competition how
ever was very close in many instances.
The amateur races, a half mile handl-
cap and a two-thirds of a mile scratch
We're won by Edmund e. Russ, OF the
Olympic Club wheelmen.
The professional races did not bring
out a very large field o. starters, owing
TO the nOnarrival of number OF the
crack riders OF southern California.
There were five starters in the final Of
the two-thirds of a mile handicap.

50 yards Coulter pulled Jones up to
Davis, but owing to Jones disinclina-
ton to set the pace the long handicap
men had their own way and won the
first two places, McCrea taking first
money; Boyden second money and
Jones third. Time-1:27 As. The final
OF the one mile open for professional
had a field of starters-Jones, Coulter,
Ziegler, Davis and Elford. Zeigler
caught the pacemaker by riding in
front OF him and dropping back thus
securing the coveted position at the
pacemaker's rear wheel. The others
followed in single file and made no eff
fort to displace the little demon. On
the fourth lap Davis struck Jones
rear wheel and fell, bringing Elford
down with him. This left a trio of
stars such as is seldom seen outside of
a match race. Chapman withdrew on
the fifth lap leaving the stars to fight
it out unDaced.
Zeigler let himself out on the back
stretch and left his opponents as if
they were standing still, winning the
race by ten yards. Jones beat Coulter
out for the second place. The time
2:15 %, was exceedingly fast when
the weather conditions are considered.
