THE WATER RIGHT CASE.
Testimony Nearly All In = VIII Re Con-
cluded TODAY.

Testimony Nearly All In = Will he Con-
ciuded To-day.
The case of David Evans against the
Anaconda Copper Mining company was
resumed at the opening of the district
u yesterday morning.
The suit was brought by Evans to re-
strain the Anaconda company from
using the waters of a certain ditch To-
Gated about two miles east of Ana
conda and for 81 900 damages.
Dave Evans. the plaintiff, was the
first witness called yesterday. He testi-
fed that the ditch in question had been
dug by two men named Turner and Orr
in 1871 and that he had continued the
appropriation from 1892 until the win
ter of 1866.
Others who testified as to IN appro-
priation of the ditch ~ Evans were
Gordon c. Vineyard, w. w. Dixon and
George Austin.
the defendant moved for a non-suit on
several grounds. among others. hat the
plaintiff had failed to prove a continu-
Gus chain of title from Orr n Turner
or their SUCCESSORS, and that the plain
tiff had failed to prove that he was in
the open, notorious or undisputed and
continuous possession of the ditch and
water right for the period of more than
five years prior to July. 1895.
The motion was overruled.
Defendant then moved to strike out
all testimony relating to the Turner
and Orr appropriation. The motion was
overruled.
After a statement Of the defendants
case had been made to the jury by At
torney Whitehil the defense introduced
two Of Its witnesses. The first one was
William Watkin Thomas. He stated
that the ditch had been dug by his
father and himself in 1869. He said that
no transfer had been a to Orr and
Turner. D.
Grifith Thomas was the last witness
called. His testimony corroborated that
of h previous witness.
The court then adjourned until $50
o'clock this morning.

How They Will Race.

Any one who goes to the track to wit
ness the race between Bald and Cooper
will be surprised at the way it will be run.
The first heat being unpaced, the men will
start at slow pace; in fact, it will be so
slow that they will no doubt be Kissed for
a time. This is a style of riding adapted
from the French and is the coming style
on all tracks. When two men are as evenly
matched as Bald and Cooper are neither
man will allow the other the slightest adj
vantage Therefore when the starter gives
the word the men will start over the track
at a snail's pace, waiting for an advantage
In the shape of a Jump" by one or the
other. A gain of a few yards in this man
ner would be enough to win the match for
the man. Neither man wishes to pace the
other. and thereby lose a point, and there
fore the object is to wait for proper open
ing and then shoot ahead before the other
man can make the Jump" On some of the
French tracks the riders according to AL
Reeves, sometimes come to almost a dead
stop in maneuverng for position. Paced
riding works man out from the start but
in the opinion of racing men is not nearly
so good an indication of the actual abilities
of the man as the unpaced race.

KISER OUT OF 1T.
Too Much Observation-Disclosures Under
the Weather.


Earl Kiser. who; with Eddie Bald and
Mertens, form the Spalding team, though
each man races independently, is too i'll to
take any part in the races here. He has
been troubled for a long time with malarial
fever, which totally units him for fast
work. After considering his condition, he
decided he could not afford to enter any of
the races and run unplaced and suffer loss
of reputation thereby
Arthur Gardner is also under the weather
to a degree. Arthur went home to Chicago
for vacation recently, while the other rid
ers were busy at work at the different
tracks on the circuit, and now he is sorry
for it.
Tom Cooper announced yesterday that he
had telegraphed to his home in Detroit for
the money to cover the $3.50 bet of Eddie
and the money is now on the way here.
AS soon as 1T arrives 1t will be placed in
Chairman FOltz's hands and the match will
be clinched.
There has been considerable bad blood be-
tween the men over the statement recently
made by Bald that there was little prob
ability of Cooper ever putting up his money
anxious to decide the question of speed be-
tween them in the race and the indications
are that neither one desires to back out,
even if such thing were possible. The
general impression among men from other
parts of the country is that the Indianapo-
lis association secured the race at low
figure, as, at Manhattan Beach, New York,
race and both men wormed out of the
match.

Ed Acker, the fast rider, who made his
racing debut while living in this city seven
years ago. met a peculiar experience recent
ly at the hands of Chairman Mott, of the
racing board. Acker has been adversely
criticised by racing men generally for not
working for himself more 1t is charged he
has for some time past continually split
purses with other riders with whom he en-
tered into agreements to furnish the pace
for them up to the stretch and then drop
back and allow them to win. In this way
he lost for himself a $1,000 purse in Phila-
delphia when he paced Titus the entire dis
lance and then deliberately dropped out in
the stretch. Titus won and Acker ran
fourth when he could easily have won the
dropped out to allow Titus to win, could
have taken second money. His riding about
that time caused Chairman Mott to inquire
into his reasons for not finishing heats in
which he entered. Calling Acker before
him one day he said: Mr. Acker, l under
stand you make a practice of suddenly quit
ting in a race in which you set the pace for
considerable time. What is the reason
for it 2"
"Well, Mr. Mott" returned Acker II fire.
quently start sprints which i not al
ways able to finish"
Chairman Mott thought for a few minutes
and then said: well, in that case l feel
that we should give you vacation of about
two or three months in which to allow you
to get into condition so you can finish your
sprints." Acker began to explain matters
and since that time has been riding con-
SiStently.

The Marion clubhouse will be just about
as much the wheelmen'S this week as the L.
A. w. clubhouse across the street. Last
night Meridian street was blockaded with
people who were attracted by the decora-
lions and the brilliant lights of various COL
ors with which the front of the clubhouse
is studded. Music from guitars and mando-
Inns added to the pleasure of the scene.
Wheelmen fiocked between the two club
houses, sat under the trees in the yard of
the cycle club and on the brightly lighted
porch of the Marion Club Someone started
the singing of MY Country, IT'S of Thee"
which was generally taken up. 1t was seen
that the spirit of patriotism shared with
love of the cycle sport the hearts of all who
were present at the extremely informal re-
ceptiOn.

needs handicap over the other. and as a
consequence the quality Of racing here this
year will be superior to that of any of the
other meets held in years
The Following nine men who can be read
lily counted in the championships this year
on their present form, are Bald, Cooper.
Gardiner, Taylor, Stevens, Fireman, John
son, Mcfarland and Tom Butler. Any one
or them is good enough to win if he has the
least chance in his favor. Last year the
same could not be said of the racing talent
Gardiner, Cooper and johnson were not IN
form and when 1t came to racing, were
hardly, excepting on reputation, fast enough
to enter good race. AS a consequence the
championships went to two outside men
-Kiser and Loughead--who neither of them
man. The five-mile championship alone went
to regular circuit rider. Neither of the
three leaders of last tyear are in the list
OF the first nine men in the present cham
pionship
In another way the Indianapolis meet is
likely to be better one than any of the
other meets of years past. The men are
daily getting more speed and breaking new
records. The meet comes at time when
the men are all worked out to a fine edge in
ships run during the national meet count
ten times as much as those run at other
meets, there is the added incentive for good
racing, as a win of the national meet cham
pionship virtually means winning on the
season for any of the leaders"
Continuing, Mr.. Mott said Without
knowing all the conditions under which the
meet has been arranged, feel that the In
dianapoliS meet is to be conducted on scale
equal to that of any other ever held. The
spirit seems to be strong here and will do
the league movement much good during the
following years, in the way of increased
membership and influence for good roads
and other enterprises of public character

Chairman Mott Thinks Sport Will Ex-
eel that of other Meets.

Chairman Mott, of the L. A. w racing
board, is much pleased with the prospects
for the Indianapolis meet. In a converse
ton last night he discussed the matter as
follows:
Not for years past has there been such
a strong list of racing men gathered togeth-
er as are now entered in the races at Newly
Oval for this years national meet During
past years there has always been some man
who has stood out prominently as the star
CT the year and rarely could anyone be
found who could more than make it inter-
esting for him. When Bald won his first
championship, he was the acknowledged
peer of any of the others, and throughout
the season stood in a class by himself In
other seasons there has been a dearth of
riders above the second-class and the top
notchers had to ride for records in order to
get engagements at meets The Indianapolis
national meat promises to present something
new in this respect, as from present indica-
tons there are nine men who are either one
liable to win in any race. Not one of them

He Made some Grea Time Under Dis
tressing Conditions.

Rain makes little or no difference at
Newly Oval" said Arthur Gardiner, the
leader in the championship race yesterday.
Gardiner arrived late, and needing the
work, he went out to the track when others
made no attempt to ride. Gardiner rode in
the rain, and he made some grand time.
With no one to pull him to the start he
did an eighth of mile in IL rs, as good a
performance as has been made at the track,
it was unassisted. Peabody, the Chi
cago amateur who took away thinner
mans record last season by winning Ill
firsts in the season, and who is reported to
be about to turn professional, was pulled
up to the tape by Gardiner, and finished his
eighth in only :13 His work does not COM
pare with that of others here, Robbins, of
Ohio, having done IL 2-5. Hausman and
Collett, the New Haven, Conn.,, amateurs,
did :13. Eaton was pulled up and did IL 2-5.
Eaton is anxious to meet either Bald or
Cooper, winner of Friday evenings contest,
for a like side bet and purse.
The st. Louis racing crowd came in yes
terday, but in the party there is not much
ness in many instances. Charlie" Nc
Carthy is threatened with t0nsolitis, and
must have an operation performed before
he may do very much for himself. Frank
White, the st. Louis amateur, did not come,
as he has retired permanently from the
sport. Arthur Stockholf is the best of the
ST. Louis representatives at the meet.
Frank Costello, one of the st. Louisans, is
reported to be about to turn professional.

TO DEFINE BOUNDARY LINE.
Part of the Work of the American
Canadian joint Commission.

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-Among the matters
to be considered by the joint commission
appointed by the United States and Great
Britain, which is to meet in Quebec Aug. %,
says the Washington correspondent of the
Tribune, are arrangements for the more
complete definition and marking of any
part of the boundary line between the
United States and Canada by land or water
where the same is now so insufficiently
marked as to be a subject of dispute. A
considerable part of the boundary from the
eastern end of Lake Ontario to the western
end of Rainy lake, on the northern frontier
of Minnesota, has never been accurately de-
fined or marked, and frequent controversies
have been the result, especially in recent
years, since the country adjacent to the
boundary has begun to be settled and de-
veloped. For example, citizens of the
United States holding patents therefrom for
timber lands in northern Minnesota have
been warned against and prevented from
cutting the timber by Canadian authorities,
who contended that said lands belonged to
the Dominion government. American min
ers and prospectors on the shores and
islands of the Rainy lake region have had
their operations interrupted and prevented
on like grounds, and American fishermen in
Lake Erie have been arrested and their YES
sells seized when, as they supposed and con-
tended, they were in American waters.
