SQUATTER WITH A GUN.
Woman Claims Land Newly Made by
the Recent st. Louis Flood.

ST. LOUIS, July 10.-During the recent
flood the houseboat occupied by the CANA
chez family was left stranded on the river
Despres bank, near the foot of Utah street.
Since then the husband has been lying
i'll in the boat. A brewing company claim
ing the land to-day endeavored to have
the houseboat removed, but Mrs. Gamachee
met the movers with a revolver and de-
clared that the land whereon the house
boat rested had been made by accretion and
consequently belonged to the national gov
eminent. She laid squatters claim TO 1t
and said that if any attempt was made to
move the houseboat by force she would use
a revolver or an ak. The movers retired.
Mrs. Gamachee said she had looked up the
records and found that the land was not
recorded as belonging to any one. She de-
clared she would fight unless removed by
due process of law.

With all its innovations, the summer OF
1909 has brought no new drinks to Indianap-
oils, neither at the bar where "spirituous
and vinous beverages" are dispensed nor at
the confectioner' esta blishment But If there
are no new connections of cool drinks. still
the confectioner's or the barkeeper's menu
is not small AT one of the downtown drug
stores the list Of drinks contains more than
one hundred varieties of still, egg, sour and
fancy mixed drinks, ySundays," mineral
waters. frappes lemonades, fizzes and
lunches. No fewer than twenty-five sum-
mer drinks plain and mixed, can be found
"a Ont of these hundred or more drinks at
the leading confectionery establishments
and drug stores, lemonade is the most pop

NEW PIER BURNED.


y NEW YORK. July 10-The new pier of
the Scandinavian-American line. at the foot
of Seventeenth street, Hoboken, was de-
stroyed by fire to-day, and for the second
time in three years the line is temporarily
without pier. 1t is believed the loss will
amount to almost 100000. The wharf alone
cost 500, 000 to build.
There was no ship of the line in port. The
flames spread as rapidly as when the North
German Lloyd and scandinavian piers
burned, three years ago. There were three
explosions, apparently caused by barrels OF
some inflammable material. After each the
flames spread rapidly. The heat was in
river for relief. No one was hurt.

THE TRACK RECORD.

The racing season of 1902 was an
exceptional one in many respects.
Worlds records have been establish
ed and shattered many times. The
three great horses of the season were
Gold Heels. the champion of all dis
tances over a mile; Chuetanunda, the
best Splinter with weight carrying
capacity Of the year, and Hermis.
who gave away many pounds to old
and young horses and defeated them
easily. Gold Heels ran one mile and
a quarter over a circular course in
1903 AS and won in all $4,000 in
stakes.
Chuctanunda ran the fastest mile
of the season-1:3S-on August 16.
In this race he carried 11S pounds.
Hermis, a chestnut colt, years
old, is by many pounds the best
horse of his age. In the fall after
he reached the zenith of his speed
he beat all the best horses of all ages
and gave away weight to each. He
has gained the title of 'the best
horse of 1902"

During the coming week Tommy
Ryan, famous for many years as the
middleweight champion, will follow
the example of Kid Mccoy. Tom
Sharkey and other pugilists and open
a saloon in New York. Ryan's for
mer home was in Syracuse, but for
the last year or two he has been en-
gagged in the saloon business in Kan
sas City. The failure of the author
tiles to permit his fight with "Phila-

responsible for his shaking the dust
of Kansas City from his feet. 1t is
announced that his removal to New
York means that he has retired from
the ring for good and all. He is worth
about 100000 and has been in the
ring for almost is years. During

THE PORTLAND GROUNDS.

Another inning in the baseball war
has been played and, like the first.
won by the Pacific Northwest league.
Yesterday it was officially announced
by Whitney l. Boise of Portland that
President W. II. Lucas had signed
the lease of the grounds on the East
Side. which are a part of the Haw-
thorne estate. Work will start i'm
mediately improving the grounds and
putting all in shape for a crack.a-
jack ball park. This news means
that the p. n. L. means business
and that President Lucas knows
where he stands. The directors of
the new Portland association have
been making strenuous efforts to get
the option on these grounds revoked.
1t is understood they have asked the
councilmen to use their influence to
the end that the council will de-
cline to close q certain street which
runs through the new park.
