"Of course Corbett is we'll known in

Britt is an absolute stranger. The
sports here only know him by his clev-
er performances, nearly all of which
have taken place on the Pacific coast.
In Britt think we have one of the
greatest fighters Of his weight that has
ever put on gloves. He is one of those
fellows who is always improving, and
with additional weight he always finds
himself able to take care of his oppo-
nents l have been impressed with
Britt ever since the first time l saw
him. That was about two years ago
when l was in San Francisco. At that
time Britt was only an amateur, but
his clever and skillful style won him
many admirers, and he was looked upon
as conner.
Il heard considerable about him, SO
decided to try him out, and invited
on the gloves and we had a few lively
rounds, which seemed to please every
body present. l at once saw that he
was real fighter, far above the ave
rage. l thought to myself that he was
conner and l predicted to my friends
that he was champion and would
some day beat all corners.
Besides being a clever boxer Britt
is real fighter. He can mix it with
any of the boxers at his weight, and
at long range he is fine judge of dis
lance. Ever since our meeting on the
coast he has been steadily improving.
Unless Britt is very cool boxer I'M

vantage. 1 don't think there is a cool
er boxer in the ring than Csrbett. He
has a great head and is always trying
to work some trick as we'll as a punch.

Last Nights Show.

"The James Boys of Missouri was
presented at Temple opera house last
evening, to only a fair house. The
show, as its name implies, deals with
rough characters, and abounds in
gambling, shooting, scrapping, etc.
There were some good features con-
nected with the show. The lesson
taught is the James boys were not so
bad as painted, and were victims of
persecution, and made to bear the
blame for crimes committed by others,
which is true to history. The play
gave very good satisfaction.

alton. He was closely questioned re-
garding what took place on the night
that Miss Dolbeer fell or jumped from

tance developed was the admission by
the witness that he had, perhaps"
told reporters that Miss DOlbeer might

he had talked to half dozen reporters
and just what he told them he could
not possibly recall. In his direct eX-
animation and during the examination
on Tuesday and today DR.. Gibney in
sisted that he had never used the term
suicide" and denied that Miss War
rem had told either Detective Sullivan
or Coroner SchOler anything which
could have given them the impression
that Miss DolbeSTs mind was unbal-
anced or that she had taken her own
life.

TALK ON WATER
TO THE FARMERS
Messrs. Richards and D0remus
Hold Meetings.
PREPARE FOR U. S. AID
ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
CIRCULATED FOR SIGNATURES.

Attorney Franklin s. Richards and
State Engineer A. f. Doremus held
two important meetings yesterday in
the interest OF national irrigation. One
or these meetings was held with the
farmers in the east side of the county
IN the forenoon; the other was held
With farmers on the west side Of the
county in the afternoon. The object OF
the meetings was to promote the for
nation of the corporation that is TO
deal with the federal government in
the Utah lake and Bear river irrigation
project.
Inc proposition that was submitted
to the water users in these two meet
ings yesterday was the same as that
submitted in all previous meetings:
That in the corporation che share is 10
be given for each acre and each frac-
ton of an acre of land. This basis was
adopted after long consideration OF the
subject as the fairest and most reason
able. Ii seems TO meet with favor ev-
erywhere, and the farmers to whoEa it
was submitted yesterday were no ex-
ception.
Copies Of the articles Of incorpcra-
ton were given out in the meeting yes
terday TO be circulated for signatures
among the water users in those parts
Of the county. The matter was taken
up with considerable enthusiasm and
no objection to the enterprise is looked
Tor in those quarters. 1t is expected
that the papers given out for signatures
Will be returned in few days, after
which the next move win be taken. The
papers given out to the water-users in
the outside counties are still in circu-
lation, so that no idea can be obtained
as 10 how generally Signatures are be-
ing attached, but the leaders in the
matter have no reason to believe that
anybody in the district to be covered
VIII withhold his name

are working energetically TO get this
matter closed up IN orGer that there
VIII be no delay in pushing the work
Of converting Utah lake into a govern
ment reservoir and in working out the
other important details of the under
taking as soon as the government ex-
perts are ready to proceed with the

meetings will be held in a few DAYS
at other points in the county with 9th
ers OF the water-users to be affected.

ROUGH ON THE HORSES
Suit Against Railroad Company
for Damage to Horses in
Shipment to CaIiente.

Taylor brothers have filed a CON-
plant in the district court against the
san Pedro. Los Angeles & Salt Lake
railroad for a judgment amounting TO
S4-lVO. The complaint alleges that Nov.
u last fifty-nine horses were loaded
into cars at Ogden BY the Short Line
company to be \ conveyed TO Caliente.
The horses were kept in the cars from
O'Clock on the afternoon Of the 18th
until l O'Clock on the afternoon of the
@Vth, forty-Six hours in ALL During
this time it was alleged that it was
impossible to feed or water the ami
mails The horses werd unIoaded at
Milford where the company employees
gave them stagnant water. Nineteen
OF the beasts died, and the others be-
came so sick that the owners had to
keep them two days i'm Milford caring
for them. The horses were to be used
in railroad construction work at Cali
ente. and the loss of time at Milford
cut down the profits considerably. The
owners claim the nineteen horses that
died were worth $500 and the others
decreased $500 in value by loss of flesh
and strength. The cost OF keeping the
stock in Milford two days amounted
TO 500 and the loss of profits by reason
of the delay there totaled s., 900. making
81, 100 in all The railroad company re-
fused to pay the claim for damages
made against it, so suit was brought.

It is announced that the deIinauents
Will have to come up and settle soon,

every male between the ages Of p and
80 years to pay poll tax. The cost Of a

is always added to the 50, so that
