Kentucky Flashes
A SURPRISE SPRUNG
on the New Louisville Jockey Club BY
Owners Of Douglas Park.

Louisville. KY, May i6.-The own
ers of Douglass park, backed by the
Western Jockey club. sprang a sur
prise on the new Louisville Jockey
club and the American Turf Associa-
tion, when they suddenly appeared
before United States District Judge
Walter Evans and secured a tempory
restraining order designed to prevent
Interference by the state racing COM
mission with a meeting which It ia
proposed to hold at Douglass park
beginning June q After the state rae
ing commission was constituted by act
OF the recent legislature the Douglass
park people. who are backed by Celia,
Adler and TILES. of st. Louis, and
John Condor, of Chicago. made appli-
cation for dates beginning May IA.
The dates were refused, the commits
sion announcing that one of it's prin-
clpal functions would be to prevent
a conflict Of dates. Il was understood
that the word conflict" covered the
entire state. and as the commission
granted long dates to LatOnia, another
American association track, to follow
Immediately after the new Louisville
Jockey club closed the chance for
Douglass park securing any acceptable
dates this year from the commission
seemed poor The temporary restrain
ing order issued is a sweeping one.
II directs Charles F. Granger, Louis
DesCOgnets. Milton Young, j. p. Chinn
and e. f. Clay to appear before Judge
Evans May 22 and show cause why
they should not be restrained from in
terfering with racing at Douglass
park. In the meantime they are en-

circulating or ordering that the Doug
las Park Jockey club has no, the right
or will not be permitted TO conduct an
exhibition OF running horses or con-
tests of speed between running horses
at Douglass park beginning June 2
and ending July T."
he order also restraints the commits
sion from instituting suits or interior
ing with the said meeting or instigat-
ing others to DO so. The attorneys
for the Douglass Park club asked for
the restraining order on the ground
that the act by which the racing com.
mission was created and under which
II conducts IT'S affairs is class legisla-
tion. which deprives the owners OF
Douglass park OF their rights under
the Fourteenth amendment to the fed
eral constitution and the Kentucky
constitution and bill of rights.

division continued 10 skirmish with
the rear of the enemy's force, few
miles ahead OF us, especial about
Mount Washington. On the Sd, Skin
mishing for an hour was quite spir-
tied. On that night we bivouacked
on the south fork OF Salt River.
Here we drew and cooked three days
rations, expecting to engage in some
sanguinary work with the rebels be
fore we ate them, as IL was reported
the main force would certainly make
a stand at Bardstown, eighteen miles
southwest of US. Every man in the
Eighth, al the sound of the assembly,
with loud cheers, took their places
in the column, eager to have a trial
at short range with the invaders, but
the evening OF the 4th, on arriving
near Bardstown, we learned with
some regret that, after little Skin
mishing with our advance, the enemy
had fed toward Danville and Spring
field. We began to think, from the
uniform distance these two large
bodies Of belligerents kept apart,
that neither commander in chief de
sired general engagement.

SUPREME COURT KNOCKS OUT
SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS.
On Bridges Over Railroad Tracks and
on Their Approaches, the Paving Ex-
pense Does Not Rest on Owners Of
Auditing Property.

The city Of Minneapolis must bear
the cost OF paving bridges and ap,,
proaches to bridges crossing railroad
tracks within its limits. No special
assessments for this work can be levied
against abuttlng property. This is the
ruling OF the supreme court, handed
down today. in the case Of the state
against Smith 3 Wyman, who % %.

The case was tried in the district court
who carried it up. Fifteen similar
cases are pending awaiting the present
decision and all will now be decided
against the city.
In the case Of bridge in Northeast
defendants was damaged by the pres.
ence Of the bridge and approach, the
city attempted to make special assess
ments against the property to pave the
approaches. They are now relieved by
the supreme court and the city must
bear the expense Of these bridge i'm

as follows:
"The Minneapolis city charter, con.
strued as a whole, does not empower
the city to levy local assessments upon
property abutting approaches to 8

chapter 38 is expressly made a genera

FELLOWS LOSES HIS CASE
SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
LOWER COURT RIGHTLY CON-
STRUED TERMS OF CONTRACT. .

Edward O. Fellows, tried, convicted
and now serving time in Saltwater for
grand larceny, has lost in his appeal
to the supreme court and must serve
out his sentence. Fellows was tried
twice on charge Of the larceny Of
$1,000 from the F. H. Peavey company.
The first jury disagreed, but the second
convicted.
The defendant held that his contract
with the Peavey company protected him
and that he could not be. prosecuted.
The supreme court holds that the con-
tract was no protection, and further,
that it was not ambiguous. Fellows
has served about half his time and.
having lost his appeal, must complete
his sentence.
The syllabus by Justice Brown is as
follows:
can indictment charging defendant
with having unlawfully and wrongfully
appropriated to his own use certain
money and property in his hands and
under his control as tagent, servant and
bailee, held sufficiently to charge the
crime of grand larceny BY an agent.
and servant, may be rejected as sur
plusage. 81
Ali questions as to the meaning and
legal effect Of written contracts are for
the court to determine, except where
tho writing is uncertain and ambiguous
to an extent to justify extrinsic evi.
dence to explain it, when they should
be sent to the jury, If the evidence is
conflicting.
"The contract involved in this case
was not ambiguous in its terms, and the
trial court properly construed it Is
