TITLES AT TONKA
ARE IN DISPUTE
SUIT INVOLVING LARGE TRACTS
SOON TO BEGIN
ian of the Westlake Heirs, the Cause
of the Action-Property Involved Is
on South Shore.

A suit involving the title to Mime
tonka property to the value OF nearly
half million dollars will come up
at the next term of the district court.
The property involved embraces a
greater portion of Meadville Park,
Solbergs Point, East Fairview Ben
nets Addition to Covington and Cow
ington, also a 1OO-acre tract of land
back from the lake front Of Mime
tonka and ST. Adams bay.
The suit will be brought In the
name of two Of the Minnetonka prop
and P. M. Endsley.
All the property involved was
originally owned by the, Westlake
heirs. Some years ago their guardian
secured an order from the probate
court allowing him to sell the West
lake estate, and the proper record or
the guardians action was made IN the
probate court.
The legal question to be settled IN
the September term is as to the au-
thority of the probate court In CIV.
ing the guardian the privilege OF
selling the lands to which the t1tle
is now disputed, the Westlake heirs
still claiming title.
This suit is the second one OF thls
nature involving Minnetonka lands !, IS
In the first suit the Title Insurance
and Trust company, for P. M. Ends
ley, brought action to have the dis,
trict court put the stamp OF approval
| on the title to certain properties, be-
longing to P. M. Endsley and others
| associated with him.
The district court held that the title
to the property involved In that suit
was good; first, by adverse possession,
and, second, on the ground of record
title" l.,
The present proceedings seek to
have the district court put the same
mark of approval on the titles IN
question.
The Westlake heirs, whose claim
was disnosed of at the last term Of the
district court, recently moved for
new trial, but this was refused ano
thew are now about to place thell
claims before the supreme court.

~ Twenty-fIrst at Smelling.
The order has been issued from the war
department at Washington for the remov-
al Of the Twenty-first infantry from Fort
Smelling, Sept 80, to the Presidio infantry
cantonment at the Preside Of San Fran
cisco, relieving the Twenty eighth infan-
try, which is to be sent to Fort Smelling,
with the exception Of two companies,
these to be selected by the regimental
commanders and to be stationed at Fort
Lincoln. This will increase the Smelling
garrison from eight to ten companies.
The men of the Twenty first have for
some time expected the removal order,
from the fact that they have filled the
allotted time Of any one regiment at such
an ideal post as Smelling. And after be-
ing sent to California, the men expect a
second order sending the regiment for q
second time to serve in the distant Philip
pines.

THE NATIONAL GAME

The following humorous writenp of
a modern ball game taken from the

the inimitiated who reads it and laughs
at its meaning lesness:
For the benefit of those who do not
thoroughly understand the game, the
following description Of the national
sport written by a thoroughbred fan
is appended in the hope that it will
throw some light on The intricacies of
the game and enable them to sling out
base all slang like veteran. But it is
printed in the hope that the reader
will not act like the unappreciative
Englishman who when showed the ar
ticle gasped: my word! ! fancied
they played the game with bat and a
ball, but neither Of these requisites is
mentioned once in this extraordinary
piece of literature. thought might

for Rock to size up. Randall boosted
a cloudskim to Flood. Alexander turn

Williams. Cream got first by bounc-
ing a slow one over McElderry S noodle.
Orcacitas walloped wickedly, but War

his head. Wilson got too gay around
second and was pinched mile by Far
rows quick snap to Randall. Rathburn
slashed hot one that nearly took off
Chesbro's pedals, but Villains dug it up
in style and got it over in time. Far
row raped a liner through Wilson'S
fiippers, and the latter, after chasing il
up made crazy chuck to Flood, and
the batter ambled to second.
-Four dopey chucks started Farrow
Williams made three mutty stabs at
three stepladder shoots and sat down.

made mess of it when he trapped

as soon as possible.
An engine and work train arrived
here today with about one hundred
men who have been employed on the

All Of the grading work has been
done to the fields and about two and
one-half miles of track has been com

The work has crossed the Rio

some heavy rains during the past
weeks and several good sized foods
have come down through Silver City.
The banks of the Main street channel
were badly washed in several places
but no great amount of damage was
done. The front of a brick building
adjoining the San Vicente hotel fell
out and the eastern apprproach of the
bridge crossing Broadway is endanger-

water that may come down, and the
town will not suffer from damage as in

Sunday at Athletic Park between the
old standbys, the Yellow Kids, and
new team, Deming Blues. The Blues
proved themselves to be made Of the
same material as the ball players of
Deming in the past and the Yellow
Kids found they had to keep their eyes
open to make bases on the new team.
This was the first public game of the
Blues as they only received their uni
forms last week and they feel well
pleased to have a score of TO 8 in ia
vor of the Yellow Kids. We may now
expect to see more Laurels falling from
the diamond into Deining.
