WATER RIGHTS
INDICATION THAT COMPANIES

KOOSKIA, Ida, Oct. 22.-It is def
nitely stated here today that the Bit
ter Root Valley Railroad company has
filed upon eight water rights on the
Locksaw branch of the Clearwater
river and that these water rights will
to be utilized in operating trains over
the BittersRoot mountains.
1t was learned several weeks ago
that a party identified with the o. r.
& N. people had gone into the Lock-
saw country early in the season and
had disguised their identity by setting
up the claim that they were placer
miners and looking for pay dirt along
the low bars adjacent to the stream. 1t
is now known these men were making
the Investigations of the water power
on the stream and the location of the
water rights is the result of their in
vestigations.
simultaneously with the operations
of the water power locators on the
west ~sJde of the mountains, a crew
has been working on the Montana side
and it is reported several locations
have been made where a large water
power will be secured.
The action of the railroad company
in securing the power sites at this
time is believed to be indicative Of
early operations in the construction of
the road across the mountains to the
Montana connection.

Value of His Contract for McCIain's
Services Placed at $4,000 Per
Month-Joekey's Right is Not In
Volved.

The first legal steps to recover dam
ages for the injury sustained by Jock
ey Bennie McClain, who was injured
on the lewiston Charleston track on
October 10, were taken today when
William M. Cain, who holds the con-
tract on McClain, commenced action
against John p. Vollmer and the Lew
iston- Charleston Interstate Fair and
Racing association for the sum Of
$25,500.
The complaint alleges the plaintiff
holds the contract on the said McClain
for the seasons of 1s07-s, and copy
Of the contract signed by the parents
Of the injured Jockey is made a por-
ton Of the complaint.
1t further alleges McClain was one
of the best riders in the country and
that his services were worth to the
amount OF $4,000 per month.
The complaint recounts the circum-
stances of the accident on the Lewis
on-Clarkston track in which McClain
sustained severe injuries, from which
he is now suffering and which 1t Is
alleged may incapacitate him from
completing his contract with the plain
tiff.
1t is further alleged the accident was
caused by a dog owned by John p.
Vollmer, and that this particular breed
of dog is called the dog of the chase"
on account of the trait of chasing run
