An Important Water Case.

Denver, July PA Fort Collins dis
patch says: An important water case
will come before the District Court at
the September session. A number of
farmers owning water in the Douglas
reservoir have brought condemnation
proceedings against the Water Supply
& Storage Company to compel the
company to carry this water through
its canal and distribute the same in
the 1aterals belonging to said farmers.
Judge Garrigues has issued tenn
porary order requiring the canal com
pany to carry and distribute the water
to the proper laterals to be paid for at
the rate of $40 per 100000 cubic feet.
At the September term of court this
question will be decided permanently
and it will be of great importance to
farmers over the state, as it will de-
termine whether owners of reservoirs
can condemn a right of way for their
water through established canals at a
rate fixed by the court.
A number of farmers have given lib
orally toward the fund to pay the eX-
pense of these proceedings so that a
final settlement may be reached.

ZEBRA BROKEN TO SADDLE.
Recent Successful Experiment at the
London Zoo.

Zebras as carriage horses and FOR
riding purposes may soon be a common
sight. for a recent experiment at the
London Zoo has demonstrated that
these beautifully striped animals can be
easily tanned and that they are even
more docile and easily managed, when
broken in, than the gentlest OF ordinary
horses.
After spending four hours in break
ing in zebra. Capt. Horace Hayes is
able to ride it handily.
His first pupil was Jennie, nine
year-old zebra, presented to King Ed
ward by the Emperor Menelik OF Abys-
sinia. When first led into the paddock
she was fidgety and nervous. In Or
der to soothe her Captain Hayes
stroked her gently with a long rod.
She stood quite still during this pro-
ceeding. seeming not to resent 1t in the
least.
But when man approached her
with a halter she plunged and reared,
racing madly around and around the
paddock Presently she quieted down,
and the trainer got near enough to slip
a rope around her right leg. She tried
to kick it loose, but in doing so got
her left leg entangled in it. She was
thrown forward on her front legs in
kneeling position, and then, with
gentle push, sent rolling on her side.
Her four legs were then bound with
ropes until she was utterly helpless
For an hour she was left in this plight
then the ropes were removed from her
feet and she got up a meek and sub
missive creature.
She stood still while a bit was placed
in her mouth and a saddle strapped to
her back. Captain Hayes climbed into
the saddle. and Jennie consented to be
ridden. She makes an excellent saddle
horse. intelligent. fast and thoroughly
to be relied upon.-Black and White.

RIO GRANDE EXTENSION.
Report That the Line Will Be Butt
to California.

Pueblo. Colo. July 25.-It is re-
ported here that in addition to the
building the line of the Rio Grande
from Marysville, Utah. to Cedar City.
for the purpose of opening the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company's depos-
its there, the road will be extended on
into the iron fields OF California, where
the company also owns extensive iron
beds.
This, taken in connection with the
announcement that the iail mill of the
Minnequa works is to be enlarged, and
that the Rio Grande and Missouri Pa
cific companies will erect large ma
chine shops here, clears away many
mysteries regarding local preparations
that have been going on for the past
year on the lands of the companies.
1t is stated that with the completion
of the new mills the Minnequa works
will produce 5000 tons of finished ma
terial per day and that this will mean
the shipping in of at least $4,000 tons
of raw material.
Among the new auxiliary plants
that are being spoken of is one for the
manufacture of steel slabs. This will
be along the same lines as the sheet
mill and that for making billets. The
tube works are said to be one of the
improvements to be made first
The force at the Minnequa works is
being increased daily and another
blast furnace will be blown in to-mor.

TO NOTIFY PARKER.
Committee Will Wait Upon Democrat
ic Candidate August 10th.

Esopus. N. Y. July 24.-Judge
Parker has fixed August 10th as the
date for the ceremonies notifying him
of his nomination by the Democratic
national convention as a candidate for
the presidency.
Judge Parker reached decision con-
cerning the date in long consultation
with William F. Sheehan yesterday.
and a telegram was at once sent Champ
Clark of Missouri, chairman OF the
committee named by the Democratic
convention to notify the nominee for
President.
Representative Clark is expected to
call a meeting of his committee, PROB
ably in New York. and he may also
come to Rosemont to talk over the ar
though no plan for such conference
rangements with Judge Parker, al
though no plan for such conference
has yet been made.
The program for the ceremonies at
Rosemont August 10th will follow pre-
cedents laid down for similar events.
1t is known that Judge Parker is i'm
pressed with the simplicity OF the cere-
monies which took place on the occa-
sion of President Lincoln's second
nomination. and also when Judge Thur
man was informed of his nomination
for vice president. The speeches both
times were marked by their brevity. It
is the plan now at Rosemont to have
the notification follow closely the form
of the earlier ceremonies. 1t is not eX-
pected that Judge Parker will talk at
length. or that he will discuss inti-
mately any of the campaign issues. but
will leave this to the letter of accept
ance. which will be issued week or SO
later

Judoe Parker's Resignation.

Esopus. n. Y. July 25.-Judge Park
er has addressed letters to some OF
his associates of the New York Court
of Appeals. seeking their advice upon
the subject of his resignation.
1t may be said upon competent au-
thority that Judge Parker has not de-
termined what his action will be in re-
lation to severing his connection with
the bench. and. in fact, 1t has not been
settled that he will resign at all. He
desires to confer with his assistants,
or at least to obtain their opinions. as
he thinks such course toward them
the courteous one for him to take.

DUTCH DRAUGAT DOGS.
Take the Place of Donkeys in Belgium
and Holland.

In Holland and Belgium the dog oc-
cupies the place which the donkey does
in several other countries. In the FOR
mer the sight of a couple of dogs drag
ging along a pushcart loaded with veg
etables, flowers or shining milk cans
is familiar one. They trot along un-
derncath the cart, within easy reach OF
the blunt toe of the sabot of the wom-
an who walks behind 1t to guide 1t by
the handles attached at that point. IN
Belgium the dogs are hitched in front,
as the Russians attach their horses 10
their droskies. three abreast and are
guided by pair of rope reins fastened
to a muZzle about the nose of the dog
in the middle. Recently the National
Cart Dogs Association, organized to
regenerate the original race of Belgian
mastiffs, held its first exhibition of cart
dogs The FlemIen breeders have found
that in crossing the Belgian mastins
with the Great Danes, with the idea OF
increasing the size of the cart dogs, ana
SO securing additional strength, they
made mistake. The result proved to
be animals with weak hind-Quarters
and disproportionate limbs. Now they
are endeavoring to revive the original
stock.
