B. Harris, who claims the city has
damaged him $4,000 in It's search for
water, would not allow the force on

near the Santa lee cutoff, was meas

sighting and computing distances.
The water supply is gaining every

BOARD MAY NOT
VISIT THEREF|RST

According TO information received
at the local office of the reclamation
office, the U. S. army board of en-
gineers have considerably changed
their schedule and itinerary. 1t was
first proposed to visit the Grand Val
ley project first. That is the engi-
neers were to be divided into two
parties, one coming directly here and
the other to take the more northern
route.
However. a radical change has been
made.
The Pathfinder dam of the North
Platte irrigation project in Wyoming
will be the first of the reclamation
works which will come under the per-
sonal observation of the board of
army engineers charged with the re-
sponsibility of reporting to the presi-
dent upon the feasibility of complet-
ing or extending the projects. The
board. accompanied by Gen. William
l.. Marshall. consulting engineer. will
leave Washington Thursday.
From Wyoming. the boards itin-
erary contemplates a tour of inspec-
tion northward to the Bell Fourche
] roiect, then through Montana, Wash
ington. Ore gun, Idaho and Utah and
thence thro lgh all the projects of the
Southwest. The board will visit prac-
tically all of the works and expects to
be in the field about three months.
This change will not operate to
delay TIE resumption of the local
project The agreement to commence
work on the High Line canal still
holds good. but 1t is probable that
the engineers will report on all the
projects collectively at the end of
their tour which will be made as one

MARTIAL LAW POSSIBLE
IBy Associated Press. I

Columbus, o.. July 2S.-While
martial law has not been proclaimed
in Columbus. this city is now in the
charge of the military officials of the
Ohio national guard as the result of
a call for the state troops made by
Mayor Marshall and Sheriff Cartain.
The call for the troops came as the
result of continuous rioting through
out the city for the last few days, fol-
lowing the strike of union motormen
and conductors of the Columbus
Street Railway Company.
Governor Harmon is Fastening to
this city from his summer home in
Michigan, and the state arsenal is
being guarded by detail from bat
terry of Columbus, armed with riot
guns and field pieces.
Orders have been sent to 80 sharp
shooters of the national guard. now
at Camp Perry, to rush to this city,
and the -ntire LIST brigade of 1000
men. including the End, Bird and 9th
regiments, is now either here or on
the road.
Mayor Marshall has issued a proc
lamation placing General McMacken

has authorized him to make arrest s

There is but little question in the
minds of local fans but what Rex
Barber has 1t in him to completely
shatter the record which has stood
for seven years but there are many
elements of chance which must be
encountered to enable him to accom-
plish the task. First the roads must
be in good condition, second he must
be hard pressed from start to finish;
the day must be hot but not oppres-
sive, and the start must be early so
that the wind is in the right direction.

WORST GANG
FIGHT IN
YEARS
RESERVES CALLED OUT
[By Associated Press. ]

New York, July 2S.-Three men
were dangerously wounded and twen-
ty others more or less severely hurt
early today in the most serious gang
fight that has occurred in this city
in many years.
Having been summoned by the
helpless patrolmen on the West Side
beach, where the trouble broke out,
the police reserves, in military forma-
tion, charged upon the rioters and
put an end to the disturbance only
after nearly a hundred shots had
been fired by the members of the
quarreling clans.
According to police reports, four
dieffrent gangs of roughs participated
in the melee aud for nearly half an
hour fought hand to hand with re-
volvers, sticks, stones and any other
weapons which were available. The
entire neighborhood was thrown into
a panic.
Many of the wounded We're carried
off by their companions before the
arrival of the police.
Fully 1875 men were still engaged
in the battle when the reserves ap-
peared on the scene. Half a dozen
arrests were made.
