RIDERS GIVE NEW MACHINES
THOROUGH TESTS IN SPEED

With track greatly improved over
Thursday, the motorcycle riders at Ag'-
ricultural park made several fast miles
in the tryouts yesterday afternoon.
Two of the newly arrived machines,
which are expected to make a fine
showing, are Blaylock's twin cylinder
Thor and the seven-horse power Peugot
lately received by Gus Fink.
F. B. Bueneman, with his new Ger
man machine, the Minerva, was a GEN.
ter Of attraction every time he stopped
near the grand stand.
e. w. Hoag did some pretty riding
with his ohe-cylinder H.. & H., which
he built himself. He holds the present
track record for single cylinder ma
chimes, and hopes to cut 1t down about
four seconds, until 1t reaches one min
ute fat. After the meet of February
he was challenged for a race with IA
horse power single cylinder wheels by
C. w. Risden, but 1t is reported now
that Risden will not take up Hoag's
acceptance for the race.
Bake made good showing with a
single cylinder Thor of stock model,
and II he rides the race as we'll as he
did In the tryouts he will be with the
head of the bunch at the finish.
Earhardt is riding up to his usual

himself that he always has given be-
fore.
Gus Fink is placed as favorite by
many of the boys who have been
watching the tryouts, as his Peugeot
has ell Of the power that he needs to
take the stretches at a flying gait.
Derkum will not ride an exhibition
race, as he could not make terms with
the club that were satisfactory, and as
he now is in the professional class he
was barred from competition with anna
tours. He was on the track, however,
yesterday and the day before, and tried
for Ia little cheap notoriety by cutting
up didoes on his wheel while going at
a minute clip down the stretches. At
the imminent risk of himself and all
others on the track near him, he fool

over the handle bars. Such actions
tend to discredit the sport in the minds
of the public, rather than to help 1t.
This forenoon the boys Will nave tne
last chance to do the final tuning up
before the contests, and no one other
than those who have entered Tor the
races will be allowed to use the track.
In the afternoon the course Will De

1t is worn by women who wish to be
known as members of the smartest
smart set, but there are enough of such
butterflies to make the within fashion

The bracelet, since band worn on

1t Is an ornament only, as 1t does not
take the place of a garter. being barely
tight enough to keep 1t from slipping

with tiny golden bells, which tinkle
with every movement. No woman
wearing one of them can expect to pass
through a drawing room without being

though she has not bells on her toes.
And by the ringing of the bells when

U. S. OFFICIAL STARTS SUITS
AGAINST CENTRAL PACIFIC
Southern Pacific Also Involved In Case
to Compel Railroad to Give
Up Patents to Nevada
Lands

RENO, New, June ga special
from Carson says: I'm the United
States court today United States Dis
trict Attorney Sam Plat instituted
two suits against the Central Pacific
Railroad company, the Southern Pa
cific Railroad company and the United
States Trust company of New York.
The suits are brought to compel the
Central Pacific company to forfeit Its
patent to lands in Nevada on the
ground that the patents were obtained
by false affidavits, by sworn state
ments to the effect that the land on
which patents were granted were nom
mineral in character
The land In question is located in
Washoe and Humboldt counties. That
In Washoe county Is the site of the
famous Rocky Hill and Harris mines,
near Washoe City.
The companies have been cited to
appear before the federal authorities
at Carson City on August rs and show
cause why the patents should not be

Attorney Plat will be assisted in
the prosecution of the case by Attor-

MOTORCYCLES TO GO
AFTER MANY RECORDS
Unusual Interest In Meet Today at
Agricultural Park Exhibited by
Owner of Popgun Wagons.
Fast Time Expected

Popgun wagons will disturb the peace
all afternoon at Agricultural park to-
day, and those who enjoy the spectacle
OF the little flyers skimming over the
ground at an alarming rate Of speed
will find sufficient variety in the pro-
gram OF fifteen events to repay them
for the trouble and expense of attend
ing. 1t is expected to be the most sue
cessful race meet that the Los Angeles
Motorcycle club ever has given.
1t is predicted that the mile-a-minute
records will be smashed, and as several
new machines of latest pattern have
been received by the club members in
the last week, built principally for
speed attachments, the prediction seems
in fair way of realization. Blaylock
has received his new Thor and will go
after all the records from one to ten
miles, while all the many machines will
be sent after new records.
The track at Agricultural park is one
of the finest and fastest courses in the
west and has been given a special prep
for the bike races. With such a. splen-
did track and so many high speed ma
chimes for the record trials, the specta-
tors may expect with all confidence
that they will witness the best cycling
racing ever to be seen in the southwest,

SUPREME COURT DECIDES
GRUBSTAKE LAWSUIT

SEATTLE, Wash, June ga law
suit which involves over million dol
lars in Alaskan property, but which Is
unusually interesting on account OF It's
grubstake feature. has just been de-
cided on an appeal by the supreme
court.
Capt. e. T. Barnett, banker and min
ing operator of Fairbanks. has been
forced to make an accounting of all
property and money which he has
made while in the Tanana. James p.
Causten, at present collector of Gus
toms in Porto Rico, is the defendant
in the case.
In 1901 Barnett landed at St. Michael
from Seattle with a stock Of goods
valued at $4,000 and engaged steam
er to take him to the head waters OF
the Tanana, then practically un-
known region. The boat leaked and
he required $4,000 to engage another
steamer with which he assembled the
Tanana river to the present site Of
Fairbanks. He received the money
from Causten and 1t was agreed the
latter should have a third interest. By
a strange coincidence rich strike was
made within a few miles of where he
established his trading post which
eventually became the city Of Fair
banks.
Barnett claimed he never made any
money with his first goods and was
compelled to get a second stock but
the court holds that he got there
through Causten's money and there
In all property and money he possesses.
Barnett, through the fortunate de-
velopment of the Tanana, became i'm
mensely wealthy, established a bank
and at present has interests in many
Of the richest claims in the district.
