City'S Case Against Mrs. Dudler Now
On Trial.
IS GUILTY OF BURGLARY
ANOTHER CONVICTION SCORED
AGAINST CURTIS BROTHERS.
Resetting of Criminal Cases By
Judge Norrell-Supreme Court Re-
verses the Lower Court In Smell
son VS.. Packard and Williams
Federal Court Orders.

The trial of the case of Salt Lake City
VS.. Susan DudIer ct al. was begun be-
fore Judge Hiles yesterday with City
Attorney Hall and Messrs. Richards &
Varian representing the plaintiff and
Mr. John NJ. Zane for the defendants.
The suit was the result of a dispute
between the city and Mrs. Dudler rela-
tive to their respective rights to the
waters of Parley's creek. The dispute
came to head last summer when the
city was suffering from a shortage of
water.
In the complaint it is alleged that the
city is the owner and entitled to the
constant use of S212 per cent of the
waters of the creek and the other 1715
per cent belongs to other parties than
the defendants. The city constructed
large reservoir in Parley's creek and
constructed therefrom to Salt Lake City
an aqueduct by which the water is
carried into the citys water system.
1t is then alleged that on Sept. 20, 1898,
the defendants Wrongfully and without
right, took possession of a portion of
the canal near its head and removed
the bottom plank from the headgate,
and diverted about one-third of the
waters Of the creek into Parley'S creek
canal, thereby depriVing the plaintiff
of the water necessary for the use of
the inhabitants of the city to the plain
tiffS damage in the sum of $4,000, for
which judgment is prayed and a re-
straining order is also asked for to pre-
vent the defendants from interfering
with the water.
The defendants answering set out
that since the year 1866 Mrs. Dudler
used an amount of water from the
creek sufficient to irrigate her land and
supply her needs for culinary purposes;
that Mrs. Dudler's predecessor in in
terest constructed a canal TO convey
said water to the premises, and meas
uring box was placed in the stream in
1878 and has remained there ever since
and the same quantity of water has
flowed through it ever since.
1t is then alleged that on Sept. % of
last year, the city, in a violent and
lawless manner, entered upon the ditch
and by force overpowered Mrs. Dudler
and her servants and filed up the canal
by which she obtained the water, to her
damage in the sum of s., 500.
The defendants pray that the suit be
dismissed, that they be granted an in
junction preventing the city from in
terfering with Mrs. Dudler's supply of
water and for Judgment for $500.
The hearing was proceeding when
court adjourned until this morning,
when it will be resumed.

DEAD BODIES UNBURIED.
New York Undertakers Unable to
Reach the Cemeteries.

New York, Feb. 1.-THE city finds
itself unable TO bury its unclaimed
dead. This is in 4, great measure due to
the icebound condition Of the East river,
which has made it impossi bic Tor sew
eral days for the steamers of the char
tiles department to make their accus-
toned trips to the city cemetery on
Hart island. No burials have taken
place since last Tuesday, when the COT
fn-laden steamer made its last trip to
the pOtters field. On Friday about forty
bodies were placed on board the steaner
Thomas S. Brennan. and Captain Nc
Carthy made an attempt to land them
at Hart island. He succeeded in get
ting as far as Whitestone, where his
further progress was stopped by pack
ice, and he found ii necessary TO return
to the pier at the foot Of East Tween
ty-siXth street, where the bodies were
Unloaded and returned to the morgue.
There We're in the morgue on Sun
day fifty-eight bodies awaiting burial

trial court, holding that that tribunal

Record-breaking Storm Disappears
From Atlantic Coast.
DISTRESS IN IT'S WAKE
WASHINGTON CITY PEDEs-
TRANS LOST IN THE SNOW.
Many Narrow Escapes at the Ma
tional Capital-Big Railroad Lines
Are Still Completely Blockaded-
New York City Unable to Bury It's
Dead--orange Crop Ruined.

Washington, Feb. 14.-The great storm
has practically disappeared off the
northeast coast, after a combination OF
snow and high winds that must here
after stand as a record for almost the
entire Atlantic coast region.
With the exception of a limited ter
ritory in the southwest and the east
ern portion of the northern slope, there
has been a general and decided rise in
the temperatures, and they are once
more above freezing point west Of the
mississippi river, in Florida and in the
gulf states, except northeast Alabama.
They still continue comparatively low
IN the Atlantic states.
The interruption to railroad traffic
caused by the storm still continues.
Not & through train on the Pennsyl-
wanna, Baltimore &c Ohio or southern
roads has reached the city today or up
TO 1890 O'clock tonight. All the COM
panies are putting forth their best eff
forts however, and confidently expect
TO resume through business north and
south tomorrow The Pennsylvania
started a train for New York at 4:3O to-
day, and the other lines expect to get
trains out before morning.
Many persons became bewildered and
exhausted during the blizzard yesteT-
day evening and night and fell fnto
snoworifts. Two score or more persons
were picked up partly or wholly IN
conscious and there are many cases of
severe frost bites. The only sign a
Tescuer had of one woman whom he
dragged unconscious from a snoWdrift
was a bunch of feathers sticking out of
the snow. Today large force was at
work under direction CT the district
government clearing ways through the
streets, and these gangs, as well as the
police, had orders to search all large
drifts for unfortunates. It is thought
likely that a number of deaths, due
directly or indirectly to the storm, will
be reported il the city and vicinity be
fore the week is out. The river is fro
zen clear 10 its mouth. and the ice is
covered with a heavy coating of Stow.

RECORDS BROKEN BY WHEELMEN
SIX-DAY RIDERS MAINTAIN a
SWIFT PACE.
Waller Has Dropped Out, and Gimm
Is In the Lsad-Nearly 500 Miles
Without Dismounting.

San Francisco, Feb. 14.-Dangerous
speed is being made in the international
six-day race. and steady pounding has
ridded the field of its most dangerous
factor; that is to say, Frank Waller.
Walters eyes went wrong on him, and
a physician said that he would be blind
for life should he continue. Waller was
broken hearted, but had to quit, after
going 334 miles and one-half without
dismounting. The cramps of Charlie
Turville did not leave him. and he quit
at about noon today, after going 236
miles. Chapman also quit, as in the
case OF Waller, with trouble of the
eyes. The real quitting of this plucky
southern lad was at midnight tonight.
From the field of a dozen in the con-
test who had not dismounted up to the
noon hour today there was a slow cut
ting down, one oy one. until at the
nineteenth hour, when Pierce and Ash
ington came out alone into the true
contest of endurance, the old timer and
the later conner being prepared to fight
it out to a bitter finish. Stevens the
Bison fell. through interlocking bars
with another rider, at an early hour
today. He lost ten miles then and has
taken things more easily since, and is
one of the freshest men in the race and
very cheerful. Louis Gimm did not
dismount until ASS this afternoon
Gimm is, as usual, smiling and happy,
and more than ever confident.
The score at 11:54. the twenty-fifth
hour: The twenty five hour record
was 461 miles. 1920 yards, made in 1898
in the New York six-day races. Ash
