HAIR CUT DIDN'T SUIT

Irish and everything else / guess After

he wanted to tell me he had served five
years in the regular army; that few days
ago he went TO a colored barber and got
his hair cut; that the barber left little
bunch of hair on one side of his head,
which he claimed made him look like a
zulu: that he returned tonight and told
the barber about IL and was thrown out.

THE BIG FOUR SUES
To EnjOin the County TREASURER from
Collecting Township Taxes.

Suit was yesterday brought by the Big
-Four Railroad Company to enjoin County
Treasurer Schmidt from collecting about
$50 OF taxes assessed against the railroad
company in different townships of the coun-
~ for township purposes. In this city $3.50
was levied for township purposes. AS to
this amount the railway company contends
that property in Indianapolis is not taxa
BILE for township purposes. AS to the other
townships named In the complaint, the re-
quest for injunction Is based on the cor ten
ton that the levy for township purposes
exceeds 3 cents on each 500. IL is claimed
that the law limits the levy for township
purposes in this county, outside of Center
township, 10 5 cents. Ii is said by attor-
neys that this claim could be made as TO
all other kinds OF property should the con-
tention of the railroad company be held
good by the court.

Cause Of Appendicitis.

A British surgeon, writing In the Gas

appendicitis Is brought on by sitting cross
legged, Ii is observed that men are more

women, and men are more in the habit OF
sitting with legs crossed. The surgeons
line OF reasoning IS as follows: '"rhe habit
OF sitting with the legs crossed restricts

RIPARIAN RIGHTS.
Important Decision Rendered BY
the Supreme Court.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.-The Su-
preme Court to-day decided an impor-
tant case involving the question of ri
parian rights. The city of Los Ange-
les was granted certain privileges by
the original owners of lands along the
Los Angeles River to run bitches to
carry water into the city; by convey
ance the title to the lands passed
though various hands until it became
vested in A. E. Pomeroy and J. D..
Hooker, they placed charge upon the
right of the city and it's assignee, the
Citizens Water Company, to make use
of the ditch over their land, and when
payment was refused they opened the
gates of the ditch and let the water
flow back into the river.
The city brought a petition for in
junction against Pomeroy and the Su-
perior Court upheld the contention. The
Supreme Court has reversed that judg-
ment, holding that while the city has
riparian rights in the waters of the
Los Angeles River up to certain point
above the city, it did not have the
right to maintain a dam and bitches
on the property of riparian owners still
above them.

The Trial of COrcoran.

WALLACE Qdaho), July 21.-Most of
the day was taken up by argument on
the admissibility of Corcoran's resi-
dence before the Coroner's jury. The
Judge took the matter under advise
ment until tomorrow morning, stating
that he doubted if it was admissible.
The State will make every possible eff
fort to secure its admission, as it con-
tradiots every witness who has aided
in providing an alibi. Corcoran testi-
fled before the Coroners jury that he
went home at IL o'clock, remaining
until 4, during which time he saw and
conversed with but two persons. This
is in conflict with the testimony of
more than a dozen witnesses, who tes-
titled to seeing and conversing with
him in Burke between these hours.
