Maneuver for Position.
At 1880 the preparatory gun was fired
and Immediately the two yachts began
maneuvering for positions. AS they
sailed back and forth in this preliminary
struggle both boats showed good deal
of weather as they laid down, dipping
the loe rail. Reliance made a long
board to eastward, followed by Sham
rock quite distance astern. After
standing about mile from the mark
Reliance came about, Shamrock soon
following. At LAO, when the warning
gun was fired, both boats were to the
westward of the line, standing in shore.
Both boats stood quarter of mile
to the westward of the line, then started
and ran down the wind for Is seconds,
when Shamrock gybed, Reliance fol-

boats were on the starboard tack, head

SISTERS HUSBANDS
CLAIM RECOGNIZED
Judge Dale Decides Curious
Law Point.
M. C. NEv|NS is HEIR
Case May Be Appealed to Su-
preme Court.

In the case of Mrs. Clara c. Marsh of
Washington. D. c.. formerly Miss Clara
Johnson. of this city. Kirk Johnson and
John Johnson vs. Mason c. Nevins, re-
terest of the Robert Black residence.
valued at $4,000. located on the south
east corner of Hydraulic and Douglas
avenues. which has been in the courts
since the year 1891, decision in favor Of
the defendant was handed down by Judge
Dale yesterday.
The case involved a curious law point
and one which, so far as is known, has
never before been up in the local courts
The question, to be plain, is as follows:
When Robert Black, grandfather of the
plaintiffs in the case, died. his residence
at the location stated was decided to his
gra ndchildren, including Mrs. NJ. C. New
ms. AS Mrs. Nevins is dead and she hav-
ing left no will, who becomes the owner
of Mrs. Nevins' one-fourth interest? Is
Mr. Nevins her heir as husband or was
Mrs. Nevins sister and brothers the heirs?
JQoge OdIS decided tndl MI NeEinS was
the heir and his decision was given ac-
cordingly.
The decision deciding that Mr.. Nevins
becomes one-fourth owner of the property
valued at $500 means that his interest
in the property is one-fourth of $4,000. or
$3.50.
The property consists of a whole block
of ground. 1t has a frontage of 800 feet
on Douglas avenue, and is 240 feet deep.
The brick residence situated on the prop
erty is one of the largest and finest in
the city.
The attorneys for the plaintiffs in the
case were Judge Balderston and c. H
Brooks Those for the defendant were
KOS Harris and c. V Ferguson 1t is
understood that the case will be appealed

WILL APPOINT A
RAILROAD ORGANIZER
Kansas Live Stock Association
Met Here Last Night
FORTY MEMBERS PRESENT
Plans Made for Appointing a
Railroad Commissioners.

At meeting of the Kansas Live Stock
association held last night in the Com
the executive committee be given the
| power to appoint some person TO act as
state organizer for the association 70
| form organizations in each county of the
state.
The organizer will form associations
in each county with the purpose of max
| ing the organization strong enough SC
! that when members OF the state railroad
commission are again selected the asso-
citation will have the power to say just
who one such member of the board will
be.
In addition 10 the five members of the
organization who have composed the ex-
ecutive board, s. A. Bergman was elect
ed unanimously at the meeting last night
TO fill a sixth position on that board
The other members are Messrs. White.
Landigan, Campbell of Wichita, Todd and
Potter.
After the open meeting adjourned at 10
o'clock the executive committee held a
private meeting to discuss some minor
details necessary TO the pushing of work
mapped out by the first meeting.
About forty members of the Kansas
Live Stock association were in attend
ance. The meeting was called for Wich-
its on September 80 for two reasons
One was that important business was to
be brought up and another was the fact
that two birds could be killed with one
stone. Each member could take advan-
tage of the reduced railroad rates and
attend the fair and convention at the
same time.
The meeting was very enthusiastic and
nearly every one who attended expressed
his views on the matter as to how to go
about the work of further benefting the
association.
l. P Campbell of this city cited an In
stance where a big organizat ton, such as
it is intended to work up in this state.
could benefit the shipper of single car
loads of cattle in the matter of procuring
returning railroad transportation for
each. Mr.. Campbell said there is a state
law providing that railroad companies
must give a shipper return transporta-
ton from the destination of his stock to
the starting place. Owing to the fact
that no one but himself has ever tried to
see the law enforced, it has never been
done. He believes that by proper meth
DDS that law can be enforced, as he says
is the prevailing custom in Missouri at
the present time. Mr.. Campbells argu-
ment is that when railroads compel the
owners to accompany stock to its destin-
alton in order to procure damages if any
thing happens to the stock, they should
be made to live up to the law providing
for the giving of free transportation to
the man by the railroad company which
he has patronized.
Mr. Resting presented an invitation to
the association to join the Federation of
Commercial clubs OF which he is one of
the promoters. The matter was referred
TO the executive committee.
The organizers who will be selected by
the executive committee will at once go TO
work In further increasing the member
ship of the association. Another meet
ing will be held in the near future.

Persons who saw Smith fall say that a
noise as of gun exploding occurred
when he struck. His head hit the
