NOTABLE TRAVELLERS
Prominent Railroad Officials Run
ming on "Limited Time"

Mr.. William Garland, president of the
G. V. G. & n. railroad, and Col Epes
Randolph, superintendent of the Ari-
IONA and New Mexico division of the
| Southern Pacific, arrived in the city
ON last nights train from the north
They remained here just ten minutes,
which was consumed in getting over to
the NJ. & P. depot and aboard Col
Randolphs private car san Carlos"
attached to the regular train, which
had been held to make connection.
Their visit was so short at both ends
there was little opportunity for ascer-
tanning their mission or whether or not
it was fraught with anything of public
importance. 1t is surmised, however,
that it is the close of a journey that
may in the near future lead to further
railroad building in the northern part
of ella and southern Yavapai counties.
The Globe papers have reported that
several days ago these gentlemen went
north from there to look over the coun-
try and its resources with a view of ex-
tending the G. V. G. & n. railroad to
Jerome or some other northern point.
They boarded the S. f. P. & P. at Je-
rome yesterday, having finished their
overland journey. What, if anything,
will result from the trip is not known,
but it shows that railroad builders are
thinking seriously and that is the first
step toward construction.
The lipe talked of passes through a
country rich in both mineral and graz
ing interests and railroad Will some
day be built through it. If the initia- |
tive is now being taken. so much the
better for Arizona
President Garland aside from his |
railroad interests. is largely interested |
in Arizona enterprises, but strange as
it may seem, this was his first visit to
Phoenix and it is to be regretted that !
he could not have spent at least day |
or two in getting acquainted with |
Phoenix business men and in viewing |
local points of interest.

AS THEY FLEW.

The Highlands, Oct. 16.-The Column
hia and Shamrock started again today
hoyer the fifteen mile course. The start
! ing gun was fired at II O'Clock. The
| Columbia crossed the line at 11:01 :06.
The Columbia had the windward posi-
ton. The Shamrock was less than a
second ahead and crossed the line at
11.01.O6. The course today was east.
The wind at the start was a ten knot
breeze. The boats soon went out of
sight in the haze. Neither had sappar-
ent advantage.
At 1875 the boats had gone about
four miles and the Columbia was a
length ahead.
At 1921 the Columbia was a mile
ahead.
At 12:35 the Columbias lead had been
reduced three-quarters of a mile.
The Columbia turned the windward
mark off Short Beach at 1:48:3O. The
Shamrock turned at 1:59:35. The Co
lumbia's lead over the Shamrock was
about one and a half miles.
At 2:15 the wind had shifted north
east and blew at fourteen miles an
hour. The Columbia still led.
The yachts We're running home before
the wind at 2:4S.
On the beat down to the outer mark
the Columbia outpointed and outfooted
the Shamrock and gained on every
tack. She turned the stake boat nine
minutes and forty-seven seconds ahead
OF the Shamrock by the official time
At $40 both boats We're racing home
under clouds of canvas, the Columbia
well in the lead.
The Columbia finished at 3:54
The official time at the finish was
Columbia 3:54:59; Shamrock 4:05:1O.
Elapsed time, Columbia 4:53:53;
Shamrock 5:C4:07
The Columbia had a handicap of 81
seconds, which from the winning time
of 10 minutes, "A seconds, leaves a clean

CHIEF SUIT or ALL
Trial Of Case OF SIoSSer VS.. Salt
River Canal Company.

/ The really most important OF the
many Injunction suits against the
canal companies went to trial yester-
day. It was that of H. E. Slosser
against the Salt River Valle.- Canal
company 1t is cutie different. and
perhaps essentially different, from any
Of the suits of either of the other two
classes. AS in the Gold and in some
OF the other cases, the plaintiff had ap-
propriated water from the Salt river
and was using it long before the ex-
istence Of the defendant. EIe had en-
tered into an agreement for the de-
livery of his water through the de-
PENDANTS canal as Gold did. but IN
like Cold. he believed that the ar
rangement carried With it to him the
right to pay only for the delivery OF
the water to him. He never recognized
the s--sten of water rights. but on
the contrary there was a recognition
by the company of his view of the case
for some years since the company de-
livered water to him without water
right
When it declined to continue the
recognition he began the famous ac-
ton which was tried before Judge
Sloan last winter and obtained judg-
ment against the company
All Of yesterday was occupied by
testimony for the plaintiffs All of
the testimony related to the plaintiffs
occupation of his land and the man
ner in which he brought water to il
1t was shown that at first the water
was conducted through the old Mon
the Farmers ditch. In reply to the
question whether these old bitches
were in operation. witnesses said they
were not. When asked why not. they
replied that there was no water for
them to convey, the defendants dam
had shut it off. The case will be con-
tinued today.

COLLEGE GOLF.

New York, Oct. 1e.-The battle of the
big colleges for the golf championship
began today on the Garden City links.
The Inter-C Collegiate Golf association
under whose auspices the tournament
is held, includes Princeton, Yale, Har-
ward, Columbia and the University of
Pennsylvania. Last year Harvard
won the team championship, but her
team this year is made up entirely of
new men. The personnel of the Yale
team is also considerably changed.
Columbia, Pennsylvania and Prince
ton are well represented. and. consid-
ering the strength of all the teams, the
golf critics consider it a difficult mat
ter TO pick the winners with any de-
gree of certainty.

q LAUNDRY AT STAKE
the National Again Occupies a PIece
In fhe Public Eye.

The National steam laundry has be
come a bone of contention again. tt
has been bone so often within the
last few months that it has been pretty
well gnawed and the teeth marks are
visible to the unaided eye A docu-
ment was filed in district court yester-
day which without previous knowledge
of the affairs of the laundry would hold
DR.. Winfred Wylie up before the world
as wanton and unauthorized usurper
of steam laundries. 1t was a suit by
f. A. Avery of the laundry, represent
| ing ]. w. Walker, against DR..
Wylie, H. L. Russell and other per-
sons. The character of the business IS
first set forth in the complaint 1t is
then stated that the defendants some
| time between the close of business on
Saturday night and the opening of bus
mess on Monday morning took pos
session of the laundry without process
and We're holding it vi ct arnis which
means by main strength and awkward
/ ness. 1t was alleged that they would
not do any business themselves and
would not let anybody else in to run
the laundry: there was an accumula-
ton of clothing. some sOiled and ready
for the mangIe, some in process of
regeneration and some already done up
and ready for patrons; these patrons,
it was alleged, were many of them non
residents of Phoenix, but living in
Maricopa county and elsewhere in
Arizona. 1t was inferred, though not
directly alleged. that if Dr.. Wylie's grip
on the laundry could not be released,
many of these patrons would not be
able to attend church next Sunday and
their future existence would be rem
dered uncertain and perilous The
plaintiff asked for the restoration of
the laundry and $1,000 for the defend
ants occupation of it over Sunday
This complaint is based on a certain
transaction of Saturday night. DR..
Wylie held chattel mortgage
on the laundry and when on
Saturday night the laundry seemed
to be falling b ehind he took
possession of it under his mortgage /
and put a keeper in whose principal /
business was to keep everybody else !
out The keeper followed his instruc- /
tions, but did not exceed them He let I
persons whose interests were adverse I
to DR.. Wylie walk along the sidewalk !
on that side of the street, and if they /
were civil he allowed them to stand IN I
front of the laundry anu rest d" iiiiO-
Mr.. Avery sent word to the doctor +
that the machinery was going to
start up yesterday morning. The
doctor sent word back that ne
would like to start 1t up pul
his professional duties would prevent
him from firing up the engine and
operating the mangler 50 he feared
that the laundry would have to lie
idle.
The laundry was not set in motion.
An appeal was made to Judge Street.
who decided that the laundry should
run. but under the direction Of some
body holding credentials from DR..
Wylie, until he could decide whether
his right in that semi -godly institu
ton should be maintained.

WIND AT LAST
CONTINUED From First Page)

quicker in the stays and better fore
reacher.
At 12:50:15 when the Shamrock set
tied down again to business on the
port tack and the Columbia, after
standing on two minutes longer, came
about to the same tack, it was found
that the Bristol boat was half mile
dead to windward of her rival. In
three more tacks the Columbia still in
creased her windward lead. The Sham
rock people at 1925 took in her baby
jib topsail, hoping that she might point
better, but 1t was i'll vain, for in ten
minutes they set the sail again. It
was taken in twenty minutes later for
a few minutes. Each yacht made
twelve tacks in windward work, and in
all these the Shamrock took the initia-
tive. Captain Barr waited for Hogarth
to tack, and with but one or two ex-
ceptions he put the Columbia about
within thirty seconds of the other
boat
The official time at the turn was:
The Columbia, 1:4S:19: the Shamrock,
1:5S:08 This shows that the Columbia
was nine minutes and forty-ninc sec
onds ahead The elapsed time for the
Columbia for fifteen miles was two
hours, forty-seven minutes and thir-
teen seconds: of the Shamrock. two
hours, fifty-seven minutes and five sec
onds, showing the Columbia's gain
from the actual starting had been nine
minutes and fifty-nine seconds. This
was a great victory for the Columbia,
for both yachts had covered the dis
lance in a steady breeze and at no
time were they far enough apart to
benefit by any puffs of wind The
CoIumbia's jib tOpsail was set tmmedi-
ately after the spinnaker and headsails
We're hauled down. She began her fif-
teen mile run to finish at about eight
knots an hour. The shamrock's jib
topsail was set seven minutes after
rounding the outer mark.
So few boats were present to witness
it and the weather was 50 depressing.
that as a spectacle the finish might be
called a poor one from picturesque
standpoint. Both in time and distance
the yachts We're so far apart that it
was rather d poor finish from a sports
mans view. When the Columbia, her
great yellow mainsail abroad off to
starboard, swept across the finish line,
the Shamrock was scarcely visible
astern. Ten minutes and eleven sec
onds in time elapsed between the fin
ishing of the Columbia and the Sham
rock, which means in distance about a
mile and a half.
The official time was: Columbia,
$3.50; Shamrock. s4:o5:1O; elapsed
time. Columbia. 4:53:53; Shamrock,
5:o4:O7. Corrected time: Columbia,
4:53:53: Shamrock, 5:o4:o1. Thus the
Columbia wins by ten minutes and |
fourteen seconds actual, and ten min
utes and eight seconds corrected time |
Arizona republican., 1899-10-17

After the race, while the yachts We're
being lowed back to their moorings,
Sir Thomas Lipton's steam yacht Erin
ranged UP alongside the Columbia.
The Erin's officers and men, led by Sir
Thomas, give three hearty cheers.
They We're quickly responded to with
three cheers from the Columbia's men
