WANT A NEW TRIAL.
Attorneys for John PenfieId File Mo-
ton in District Court.

Some pretty points of law have been
raised by Attorneys Agee. Chez and Nc
Cracker in connection with the $50 900
damage case of John Penfield VS. the
Union Pacific Railroad company, which
was dismissed in the district court few
days ago, when Judge J. A. Howell di-
rected the jury to bring in o verdict of no
cause for action after both parties had
rested their case. The action of the court
according to the allegations set forth in
a motion for a new trial. was altogether
wrong.
\The plaintiff holds that the court had
no power to give any direction or instruc-
tons TO the jury as to their duties in de-
.termining a verdict except by way Of in
structiOnS in writing upon the law applic-
able to the case Further that the court
was without authority to order the jury
to return a verdict on the ground that the
evidence was insufficient to entitle the
plaintiff to recover or on the ground that
the plaintiff failed to prove a sufficient
case for the jury.
The main points in the contention OF at
torneys for the plaintiff Is that Pen
field was injured while crossing the tracks
on a footpath which was constantly used
by employees and the public for many
years without objections or protest from
the company; that the plaintiff was alert
and exercising the ordinary care while
crossing; that the train which ran him
down was running at a high rate of
speed and that his view was INSTRUCTED
by escaping steam from another locomo-
tive on another track. Also that the COM
pany was negligent in not having a look
out on the footboard on the front end of
the engine

named Mcdonald, about ten miles west of
Elko. 1t is said that Mcdonald was a
member of a bridge gang working along
that section OF the line. At the time Of
the accident Mcdonald was apparently
asleep on a track VeIOcipede on the main
line. The engineer of the limited evident
ly saw Mcdonald in good season, but
thought that he would get off the track.
The whistle was sounded several times,
but failed to rouse him from his sleep.
When it was seen that an accident was
inevitable the air brakes were applied, but
the train hit the velocipede with full force.

The salary of Miss Genet Bingham. dep

The petition for the changing of the
roadway in the RiveTdale district in con-
nectiOn with the building of the line of
the Salt Lake & Ogden Railway. was pre-
sented TO the board and referred to the
county attorney. This change is desired

large number of the free holders of the
Riverdale district and was made at the

DOES GOOD AND HARM.
Storm Helps Some Crops and Dam
AGES Others.

The rainstorm which set in here Sun
day assumed almost the proportions Of a
cloudbuTst yesterday morning and many
Of the streets of the city were flooded.
especially in the business district where
many Of them became impossible early
In the day MANY cellars were flooded
to a considerable depth. In some districts
II is claimed that the TainstOrm. which is
quite unusual for this season Of the year,
did much good. while from other parts Of
the county reports are to the contrary.
From the fruit growing districts II is re-
ported that the amount of benefit to that
crop cannot be estimated in dollars and
cents. This is also probably true of the
third crop of alfalfa. From Ogden val
ley the statement comes that many thous-
ands of dollars of damage had been done
to the crops which was beaten down 10
the ground as flat as If gone over with a
roller II will be impossible to operate a
moving machine IN the fields for many
DAYS 10 come.
In the city proper the storm again
clearly demonstrated the fact that the
cutters and intakes along Washington
avenue and other business streets are en-
tirely inadequate TO accommodate such a
rush of water as came down yesterday.
In several places at the intersections of
streets the water was of a depth of one
foot and IL was impossible to cross the
streets without getting wet feet. The
rush of water from the bench simply
filled the intakes with mud and gravel
and the water then rushed in torrents over
the streets and sidewalks In front Of the
Union depot the street looked not ur-
like a miniature lake for a greater pOr-
ton Of the morning and at the foot of
Twenty-eighth street was covered TO a
depth of probably one foot This was
due TO the Twenty-eighth street ditch
overlooking it's banks.
When the storm was at it's worst and
while the intersection Of Twenty
street and Washington avenue was sub
merged, a practical joker tackled a large
sign on a pole in the center of the street.
The sign bore this inscription: mo
fishing allowed"

Tells EFFECT OF NEW LAW
J. A. Reeves Returns From Traffic
Conference-Al Shippers to Be
Treated Alike.

j. A. Reeves, general freight agent Of
the Oregon Short Line. returned TO the
rity yesterday from Chicago, where he
had been for some time consulting with
other freight officials of the Hartman
system with regard TO the new rate
bill passed at the last session Of con-
rress.
Mr.. Reeves says that the amount Of
printing made necessary by the enact
ment Of the new law would be enor-
nous. and that printing houses would
benefit largely. The Short Line he
said, would, not at this time establish
printing offices. but the work. as in the
past. would be given to private firms.
There will be special privileges ex--
tended to none from now on" Mr.
Reeves said. discussing the effect OF
the law. The smallest shipper has
the same privileges as the largest. In
fant industries cannot be fostered by
SPECIAL rates for their machinery. steel
and building material. The new law.
while an interstate document. covers
local shipments as well. and no spe-
cial rates can hereafter be made"

the Colorado river has broken through its
banks, the Southern Pacific Railroad
company will spend several hundred
thousand dollars to get the stream back

The railroad company has suffered a
severe loss and if the lake that the over
flow from the river has formed does not
quit rising, IL will be forced to move it's
tracks again. The lake at present has a
