CLAIMS he IS DAMAGED
Senator Yegen Brings Suit Against
w. +. Snyder and John Steele
injunction Issued.

tion has been filed in the district court
by Christian Yegen against w. F..
Snyder and John Steele.
In his complaint plaintiff alleges
that February 1, 1903, Edward G. Bal
ley of New York City was the owner
in fee simple of all of section 5, town
ship south, range 25 east, and on
that date Bailey entered into con-
tract with him for the sale OF the land
described and a deed conveying the
same was placed on deposit in the
First National bank of Billings, to be
conveyed to plaintiff conditional to the
faithful performance by him of cer-
tain covenants and conditions contain
ed therein. No default, it is alleged,
has been made by plaintiff and that
he has at all times been prepared to
meet the obligations imposed in the
contract and is now prepared to meet
them. Following this declaration
comes the cause of action.

plaint, without his consent and against
plaintiffs wishes and desires the de-
PENDANTS began construction of an ir-
rigation ditch on the southeast quar-
ter Of the section described and about
80 feet west from the Big Ditch com
panys canal and running south along
the southeast quarter of section
for about quarter of mile. Be-
cause Of the peculiar nature of the
soil and the elevation of the ditch
in course OF construction by defend
ants plaintiff charges that if water
is permitted to run in the ditch it
will wash away the earth thereabouts
and permanently and seriously dam
age the free hold to an extent that
cannot be estimated
AS a second cause of complaint he
alleges that in order to obtain ingress
to the southeast quarter of the section
it is necessary for plaintiff to pass
through and over the land where the
ditch is building and unless they are
restrained from completing the ditch
and turning water into it he will be
deprived of the right to enter upon
and enjoy the use of the land he holds
under the terms Of the contract. 1t
is also further alleged that the ditch
as begun runs parallel with plain
tiff's fence and will injure the fence.
Because of the acts complained OF
plaintiff charges that he has already
been damaged in the sum of $3.50
and demands judgment for that sum
and also that defendants be tempo
rarily restrained from continuing work
on the ditch and from turning water
into the same.
A copy of the contract alleged to
eyist between plaintiff and Bailey is
attached to the complaint and shows
that according to it's terms the sum
Of $3.50 was to be paid for the land,
payment to be made in installments,
the last of which becomes due some
time hence. Included in the provis-
ionai transfer are 96 shares of the
capital stock of the High Line Ditch
company.
Injunction Is Granted.
The papers in the SUIT we're filed
last Friday and forwarded to Judge
Loud. who made an order granting
the temporary injunction prayed for.
Service was made on the defendants
yesterday.
F. H. Hathhorn appears for the
plaintiff.

Fire in Oyster House.

Shortly after twelve o'clock last night
a fire was discovered in small frame
structure. used as an oyster house, on the
north side of Duke street, near Patrick
An alarm was sounded, but, as is often
the case, there was some uncertainty as
to which point of the compass the appa-
ratus should be sent Chief Pettey IN
his gig. the Hydraulian engine ana
Relief Hook and Ladder truck dashed
down Fairfax street as far as Wilkes,
but found that neighborhood as tranquil
rs q graveyard with not even the smell
of smoke. In the meantime the Column
bia. which had been put on the right
track, proceeded to the fire and had ex-
tinguished it when the other apparatus
reached the scene. Only portion OF
the back part of the house was burned
and the loss was slight. The building
is owned by Mr.. c. J. w. Summers.
Some of the fremen believe the fire was
of incendiary origin and it was reported
that evidences leading to this belief had
been found. Fire Warden Summers,
however, who made close examination
of the premises, is convinced that the
fire was the result of an accident or care
lessness on the part OF some boys who
have of late made the house, which was
unOccupied, a retreat.

Police Court Notes.

The Mayor disposed of several minor
cases in the Police Court this morning,
among them that of five soldiers who
had been arrested in the northeastern
part of the city by Officers Belts, Fer
guson and Beach charged with indecent
conduct. The charge was proved against
one of the accused and he was fined 50.
The Others were dismissed.
One of the quaternion who had proven
themselves innocent walked up to the
rail and asked an opportunity to appeal
to the court. He began by saying he
was southerner by birth, but before he
had proceeded far in his preface the
Mayor cut the story short by motioning
to an officer to lead the would-be speaker
from the dock.
Six dodgers were at the station house

Sent to Norfolk.

Lieutenant Smith last night placed
Archie Wilkins and his wife and two
children upon the steamer Washington
and the family we're landed in Norfolk
this morning. The lieutenant had col
lected enough money to purchase the
tickets and provide the woman with a
small sum with which to obtain comforts
for herself and children. The woman,
who held an infant in her arms, was but
scantily clothed, as was also her little
girl, apparently between three and four
wears old, and the cold east wind tapped
their light garments as they awaited the
steamer. Wilkins rolled up a cigarette,
with less apparent sympathy for his lit
tie family than was manifested by the
bystanders. When the steamer landed
the woman walked aboard with her in
FAINT, while Lieutenant Smith followed
with the little girl which he held by the
hand. wilkins, it will be remembered,
wasHcharged with attempting to desert
his family at the ferry wharf recently.

Steam Fish Vessels.

The owners of one of the Potomac fish
ing shores have placed naptha engines in
two of their schooners which are engaged
in transporting fish from their shore to
Washington Recently people have had
their attention arrested by ordinary
"waist" schooners with sails furled
gliding up the river against northwest
winds and ebb tides, and we're puzzled to
understand what contributed The motive
power In the olden time when vessels
running fish were caught in q calm it
was often necessary to row all night,
especially if the weather was mild and
there was danger of the cargoes perish
ing. The naptha engine and propeller
abolishes both labor and apprehension.

ENGINEER A MENTAL WRECK
Haunted by the memory of the awful
morning in February when his locomo-
tive crashed through a carload of school
children at the Clifton avenue crossing,
in Newark, n. j., killing nine and
wounding more than a score, Oscar Bar
cliff, Lackawanna engine driver, lies in
St. MichaePs Hospital, Newark, men
tai wreck. The hospital physicians hope
that in time his mind may regain its
p)ise. Recently his attendants have
permitted him to gaze out of the windows.
But they have noticed that he soon be-
comes strangely excitable. From the
spot where Barclife has sat habitually
he could see, when he leaned forward,
the image of st. Michael, which sur
mounts the main doorway of the hospital.
Over the shoulders of the statue is scar
let-colored cape. To Barcliffe's fevered
imagination the bright bit of color was a
danger signal on the line. His body
stiGens, up goes one land, grasping for
the reversing lever, while the other grips
spasmodically at an imaginary throttle.
For one tense instane his body quivers
and then he falls back, helpless to avert
the inevitable.

The Fishery.

Fishtown presented dull and bedrag-
gled appearance this morning. Receipts
have been light since yesterday and
prices are still firm and unchanged.
The approach to the wharf from Union
street or any other point of the compass
was attended with difficulty, as mud be-
set all paths. The square from Princess
street north was lmostimpassable except
to cars which we're moving up and down.
The mud in heroadway was foot deep,
while the narrow strip of what is at
times a path was almost covered by
mire.

The New Bridge.

A serious hitch has occurred in the
plans for the construction of the pro-
posed highway bridge across the Po-
tomac just above the present Long
bridge. The situation is briefly stated
in an official communication from the
officer in charge of the improvement of
the Potomac river to General Gillespie,
chief of engineers. 1t seems that the
basis upon which the appropriations fol-
the work were made are not in accord
ance with the present prices OF labor
and material, and that the lowest bids
received are in excess of the amount al
lowed by Congress.
