AVIATOR SUES MANAGER.
Fremont Flyer Gets Into Court Again
Aeroplane Is Attached.

Fremont Tribune: A settlement
was effected last evening between
Manager Manning of the Pacific Avia-
ton company and the local aviation
committee by which the aviation con.
Germ gets $500.
Further signs of friction between
Aviator Charles Walsh and Manager
Manning developed shortly after when
Walsh brought a suit for s56.25 in Jus.
tice Johnson's court as his share of
the receipts and caused an attachment
to be executed against the biplane
with which he gave his Fremont
flights. Hearing of the case has been
set for Friday.
Walsh and Manning met in front OF
the Terry hotel last evening and 8
quarrel ensued between the men. Mrs
Walsh, wife of the man-bird, stepped
between them in an effort to restore
peace and several bystanders threat
ened to interfere. Walsh says tina
Manning has tried to force him to pa!
for repairs on the biplane and to de
duct the amount from his share Of thu
receipts. He says his contract will
the Pacific Aviation company provide
that all expenses shall be paid. Walsl

Biplane Wing is Demolished.

Neigh, Neb., Aug. 1s.-Special to
The News: The second day Of the
race meet and baseball tournament
held in this city yesterday afternoon
at Riverside park drew the largest
crowd ever in the history of Neigh.
1t was estimated by competent judges
that the attendance was fully 1000
people. The grand stand and bleach
ers were completely packed, and the
buggies, carriages and automobiles
surrounded the ball field from the
right to the left, making it necessary
that ground rules were observed dur
ing the two games.
What is considered the most unfor
tunate event of the entire day was that
the biplane was not ready to make the
ascension. Blakely, who is going to
make the flights, started yesterday
morning from the park and in passing
tree one of the limbs caught one OF
the wings, completely upsetting the
machine, but not injuring the aviator
to a great extent, nor the engine
There were at once seven experienced
men at work in making repairs the
entire day. The management has the
assurance that the fight will be made
today.
OF course, these men come here
with the understanding that they
make a satisfactory flight or NJ
money, and up to this time they have
received no compensation whatever
The contract calls for three flights
for which the management of Neligl
agreed to pay $500.
The excursion from Norfolk brought
seven packed coaches. There were
three extra passenger coaches on thu
morning train that brought goot
crowds from Clearwater. Ewing

New York, Aug. 1S.-President Low
EFT of the Union and Southern Pacific
railroads authorized the following Of
fetal statement:
Ordinarily it is not the function of

zance of stock markets and l am es-
pecially averse to it, but during the

seems to me due our stockholders,

turb, that should state that there are
no discussions whatever in our board
of directors; that the management
from top to bottom is perfectly har-
monious; that change in the divi.
dent rate has not been discussed or in
any way considered, and aside from
some Encouragement of and additions
to our organizations as l some time
ago recommended and which in due
time will be made, no action has been
taken or is contemplated out of the
