KLoNDIKE NOT CLOSED.
Notorious Dives Near Soldiers Home
Still Running.

Leavenworth, July 16.-After having
tried every other method, and failed, to
close the joints in the notorious Klon-
dixie district, near the Soldiers home
here, suits were Saturday afternoon
filed to enjoin three of the joints from
doing business.
The petition states that John Knapp,
Charles Wuefth, Gustave Karst, Jake
WeiSman and Vinton StillingS own and
operate the places, which are common
nuisances, without taking out a license
to do so. The petition prays that the
places be adjudged common nuisances
and that the sheriff be directed to abate
them by taking charge of the places
and destroying all the liquor and fix
lures in them, and that the proprietOrS
be permanently restrained from con-
Quoting such places in that district.
Judge Myers issued a temporary in
junction.

THE OWNERS OF IMP
Cannot Secure a Match For Ohio's
Great Mare.

New York, July 16.-The EFFORTS of
Harness & Brossman to get a match
between their mare Imp and Ethelbert,
which seems to be renewed, will not
bring about any specials. They had
the chance at Sheepshead and lodged,
and now they can go about with a chip
on their shoulders, without any fear of
a challenge, as Trainer Joyner says
that, if they want to meet his colt, they
will get the opportunity in the Islip
stakes. which will be run in two weeks
and a little later on in the Brighton cup
The marvellous time that is being
hung out these days has created a feel
ing that the Brighton track is not a full
mile. The doubters point to the class
of horses that are making records or
getting near them.
