TO APPEAL a BIG LAND SUIT.
Corporation Gives Notice in the One
Million Dollar Suit.

Kansas City, Kas., March S.-The
defendants in the million dollar land
suit, which was decided in favor of the
heirs of the late DIR. George B. Woods
as against the Fowler and the Armour
Packing companies the Great West
ern Railway company, the Metropoli-
tan Water company and others, by a
jury in the district court here Saturday
night, made motions for 4 new trial
before Judge Fischer yesterday The
motions in each case were overruled,
and the defendants fled notices of e1-
ceptions and asked time in which to
appeal the case.
The case was one of the largest land
suits ever tried here, and involved the
possession of about ninety-five acres
Of land formed by the accretions of the
Kansas and Missouri rivers and locat-
ed in the fork between the two rivers
The jury in making its verdict found
that the land had accreted from an IN
partitioned island which belonged to
the heirs of DR. Woods. The defend
ants in the case own the mainland ad-
joining the accrehons, and their con-
tention was that the newly formed
land WAS part of the mainland.

McChesney's New Owner Is Said
to Be a Plunger.
He Bet and Won $4,000 on a
Race With Lawson.
OWNS FAST LORD DERBY
Has an Aurora Borealis Record
in Making Wagers.
Many Say Smathers' Latest Pur-
chase Is a Mistake.

New York, March 3.-In commenting
upon the purchase of McChesney by E.
E. Smathers. sporting men of all classes
declared that if Mr.. Smathers really had
bought the noted western racer, and will
pursue the same tactics on the running
turf that he has upon the trotting turf
he will by the size of his betting oper-
atoms. cause much comment
There is no doubt that Smathers is
the most daring better on the trotting
turf today" said man who knows him
well. why. it is a well known fact
that one day last fall, at Lexington,
while trotting meeting was in prog
ress, Smathers made Thomas w. Law
son of Boston cease from specializing.
The race had a field of starters which
included Lawson's Boralma. In the
auction pools Smathers bid $20.0 600 for
the field and told the pool seller to sell
Boralma out. This challenge, meant for
Boralma'S owner. Mr.. Lawson, was not
accented and the pool did not go. He
matched Lord Derby against Lawson 5
Boralma for $4,000 a side and won that
waaSar."
BET $4,000 AND WON.
In connection with this race, it was
in effect for $40 600 a side, because
side bet of $4,000 each was made be-
tween the two men. Smathers had sent
to Lawson a telegram saying that he
